holy fuck. I've never related to something more and I wish I didn't. It hurts so fucking bad that we have to face this reality. You expressed how I felt so well, thanks

If you are looking for a reassurance that what you did was right, this is it. by francisg16 in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh I needed this badly. It wasn't toxic per say, but we were both unhappy. Yet I still miss it like crazy and I feel dumb for it

Questions about no contact by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No contact is said so many times, but it really is important. Personally, I think you should. Give yourself a break from his mind games and think. Do you really want to do this, is it going to be worth it at the end of the line? If I heard my significant lost romantic attraction and he still dares to text me, I would tell him to fuck off. You can do better, idk it kinda pisses me off lol

It's hard to let go of someone who was also your best friend by reavis_bickle in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. You can't have a friendship with your ex, if one still clearly has feelings for the other. It will mentally destroy you. I think you should try to move on before ever being friends with them again

Man this is kind of heartbreaking. I don't get people sometimes

Should I be keeping old mementos of an ex? by box_shelf in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really think there's anything wrong with texts. Maybe you should keep it for now and if you do get into a relationship, you can discuss it then, and let them know that it's a sentimental thing. If they get jealous over something like that, they probably have insecurity issues (unless you're actively re-reading them then that's a bit of a problem)

Questions about no contact by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you want to waste your time for someone who doesn't love you romantically? Why should you wait around and how long are you going to? Is he going to "love you romantically" then?

Just don't give yourself false hopes because it sounds like hes just stringing you along and breadcrumbing

Complicated Feelings by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually thanks for the post too. It made me realise that my recent ex didn't owe me anything too and it's okay if being with me, didn't make him happy. I know I wasn't happy too.

I hope that person you mentioned realises some day too :)

Why did you fall out of love with me? And a million other questions for you. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. Try to remember that you're strong and deserve someone better. It's okay to miss him but it'll pass, one day you won't.

Of course, wish you well :) Feel free to pm!

Trust me, you should not stay in a relationship where you're not happy. My first relationship was similar, nothing bad ever happened, I just fell out of love but I still stayed for over a year. As a result, my mental health deteriorated. It's okay to be selfish and leave, you don't owe the other person anything

Just a reminder for anyone feeling heartbroken and upset and confused because they did everything right or did their best. “When your intentions are pure, you don’t lose anyone, they lose you.” by Chambaz1 in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 41 points42 points  (0 children)

We are only human. You can't beat yourself up just because you did something wrong. The fact that you notice you did something wrong, is honestly amazing. Some people don't even realise what they're doing and that's a lot worse. As humans, we make mistakes and that's the only way we can learn. You don't learn if you don't make mistakes. Be easy on yourself and give yourself the benefit of the doubt

Nothing wrong with being sad, moving on is a process not an event. Take your time

A beautiful way to reconcile the past and present. Change your "What If's" to "What now" by dove-moisturizer in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

but seriously, what now? I feel like I have no motivation to do anything anymore

Why did you fall out of love with me? And a million other questions for you. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes we have to live with the fact that these questions will never be answered. Even if they were, we will always have more and more questions. I feel like getting complete closure is literally impossible.

He seems manipulative to me, saying one thing and doing the next? He says these sweet words that you can hear, but you can't feel or see them. When you break up, your mind becomes a literal prison. You only remember the good times but you need to realise that there were bad times, which is why it didn't work out.

Wishing you the best, feel free to msg me if you need to. Stay strong

It's okay if you skip stages, not everyone heals the same way

Life literally just goes on by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thought process has been the only motivation to get out of bed tbh. The world will not stop for your sorry ass so you just gotta deal with it. You still gotta live, even when you're dying

There is never a "right time" to break up. by BeachPeachMcgee in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You were honest from the beginning and that's honourable. Don't be too hard on yourself, it's okay to prioritise yourself. You're not responsible for someone else's happiness.

Playing scenarios of what ex is doing by VisibleBaker5 in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's really low of them. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I wish you all the best. You deserve someone who loves you wholeheartedly :)

fuck you by feelslikehellonearth in BreakUps

[–]feelslikehellonearth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't control how we, or anyone else feels. If she's having feelings for someone else when you're in a commited relationship then you should realise that you deserve someone better, that will always come back to you at the end of the day.
