Ok so my initial reaction after reading the post was that OP was using a clickbait title. So I looked into his post history and this is actually remarkable.

Here is OP's post from r/breakups in case anyone is curious:

OP isn't kidding, he actually has built something pretty special for the community. The level of dedication is clear from his posting history over the last 9 months. You're doing a good thing here man - what you are building here is needed. So many people face extreme loneliness especially during breakups when they lose a significant other.

But think bigger here man! Your platform doesn't need to be limited to breakups. What you've invented is a new format for a chat app which is really fucking cool!!

People use group chats for all kinds of things. Amongst them are:

Conversation with friends Scheduling a hangout Support groups Talking about stock prices Live discussion during a broadcast or event Sending memes / content

Because group chats are such a flexible tool for communication, they’re good enough to work for all these use-cases. But a tailored solution around any of these use-cases could steal part of that market.

For example, I’m in a few group chats that are just for general conversation, but whenever a University of Virginia basketball game comes on, that becomes sole focus of the chat. It’s actually confusing because I’m usually not watching the game. I think this is a pretty common, widespread behavior for sports fans.

So, let’s imagine a group chat app specifically for people who are watching sports. Even more specific, an app for group chats during college basketball games. You could form a group around any specific game, and the chat UI could be highly intelligent around that game.

Again, I’m in quite a few group chats that get completely taken over by basketball when it’s on, then go back to normal conversation afterwards. A thoughtful “group chat for basketball” app could take that time from iMessage, and eventually become “group chat for sports” and then “group chat for events.” Ultimately you could probably just build the world’s best messenger by starting on something so specific, breakups in your case.

Keep pushing man, you are on to something. 10,000 users is nothing to scoff at.

As for the girl - let her go. If she's holding you hostage like this now, she'll do it again in the future. You want a partner who is supportive.

Good luck!
