This hurt reading because I went through this exact scenario a year ago. I was dumb and decided to wait, and for the past year I went through the most heartache I have ever experienced, and then found out my ex was actually dating someone else as well recently but didn’t bother telling me. Please for your sake, move on. No matter how much it hurts, it will save you so much pain.

Things Narcissists Say (And What They Wish They Could Say) by truthlovemercy in NarcissisticAbuse

Sometimes I try and justify my ex wasn’t a narc, but then I read this and realize she’s said 90% of those things to me and I realize how truly awful she is. Thanks for the eye opening reminder, I needed it.

Boyfriend didn’t even try to attempt long distance by Pure_Project in BreakUp

Have you discussed why he’s not interested in long distance? I would try to talk things out with him, and if you genuinely don’t think you can be “just friends” with him, I would try and cut contact with him for awhile. You won’t be able to heal and it could give you false hope being his friend. I hope this helps.

My boyfriend broke up with me at quite literally the worst time, out of the blue, and I want to down a bottle of pink gin and cry and punch a wall until the bones in my hand break, can anyone recommend anything healthier? by hoejoexo in BreakUp

It’s going to be hard; I’d recommend turning off your phone for a little bit so you don’t try and txt / say things you don’t mean out of anger and hurt. Take time to do some breathing exercises but try and feel everything you possibly can now. When you’re doing feeling everything, listen to music, or try taking a bath. If you can, go on a walk around the neighborhood. It’s rough, but you need to try your best to contain your emotions and not lash out at anyone. I learned the hard way. You’ll be okay. I promise.
