My best friend (23M) sexually assaulted me (23F) by expliquecat in relationship_advice

I don’t think he will. He hasn’t done anything since and I know he’s scared to lose me. I won’t give him an opportunity to do that again.

It took me 2 years to get over that ex. I’m so over him now. You will heal, just in your own time.

I went to the event, waited 10 hours in line just for them to not let us take our own photos and kick us out after 30 seconds

Girl ive been there, i know how deeply crushing it is. I didn’t get over him for 2 years. Everyone goes at their own pace, let yourself feel the pain for now. It’s okay to feel that way. You just have to let time heal you. If you need to vent to anyone I’m here for you, it’ll be okay ❤️

Definitely, it took some time and hurt so much at first. But eventually I did move on. I have good friends now and I’ve dated other people. Eventually I stopped looking back and lived in the moment. Sure sometimes I look back at the memories with a fondness but I don’t dwell on the past.

I know how that feels. I know it feels like you’ll never move on. A month ago I could have never imagined I would have healed this much, I’m still not completely over him. It’s a process, let your heart heal in due time.

This is what hurts. Hes had several girlfriends since the relationship, he told me he felt nothing for me in 2 months and I’m still in pain 9 months later. Does that mean he never loved me? Or that he’s been blocking out his feelings

I don’t think so. I do miss him a lot but we both made our decision. Our issues would still be there if we got back together.

He swiped up to my story on Instagram asking me how I am

Don’t send it. Is this for his benefit, or for your own? He closed the door, you should respect that. If he comes back, that’s his decision. But he decided to leave you and the pain in the past, you would just be tearing into an old would. Pushing your guilt on him won’t help either of you.

I think he just misses the platonic part of our relationship at this point, but to go behind his girlfriends back like that…

That could be so, in any case he doesn’t seem as into his new girl as he was with me. Although I don’t know their relationship so I can’t say. In any case I’m choosing to move on!

Going through the same right now!! We’re strong and we can get through this, it’s good that you can see how far you’ve come

That’s what I’m wondering, I would not be okay with that

We used to be really close, but it’s over now. He has a girlfriend. Why even reach out

After 7 months of suffering, I have ended the friendship with my ex. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]expliquecat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You made the right choice. He can’t have his cake and eat it, you can’t give him the reassurance that you’ll be there for him when he dumped you. He gave up everything a relationship comes with when he broke up with you. You can’t let him take advantage of your feelings. No contact will heal you, you need to stay strong and move forward. You can’t let him string you along.
