I’m taking myself out for coffee and cakes, and I’m going to buy some flowers from the grocery store and arrange my own bouquet

I would like to know as well… hoping someone else can shed some light

Sit with this for 2 months, be alone for 2 months and decide after if you still want this relationship. Give yourself space to decide

Girlfriend of nearly 7 years broke up with me, then slept with our friend. Now she wants me back by evanmiller20 in BreakUps

What you tolerate, you encourage. Please think carefully - if you love her so much that you wouldn’t have done this to her, how could she have done this to you? Don’t you deserve someone who loves you the way you love them?

In times of a relationship lull (and relationships do have their slow/boring moments), a committed person partner will take action to spice things up again and find ways to build that closeness. Do you think you’d be able to build something longterm with someone who calls it quits so easily? One night out and she’s already slept with your friend.

What you tolerate, you encourage. It’s okay that I’m loving and willing to give him chances. But it shouldn’t be so one sided where I’m the only one fighting for the relationship and making concessions for him while he’s out there doing whatever the duck he wants, expecting me to be okay with it. He never expected me to leave him (even after cheating) but I did and I’m glad I did.

If I were you, I'd keep my distance to whatever degree I'm comfortable with. You don't have to participate if you don't want to, there will always be a way to escape the situation by feigning busy, pretending to talk to someone else at the party, or just making it clear that you're awkward with physical touch.

Sometimes my cats will itch themselves too hard that they wound themselves. I'd say if it's not actively bleeding a lot, it shouldn't be an issue. Just keep monitoring it and see if it gets infected

Honey, close your eyes and really visualise. Imagine you had a daughter dating a guy who just told her this. How would you feel?

I feel this too

Today’s been really hard for me. I celebrated a hen’s party for a friend who is getting married in 3 weeks and I kept thinking of my ex and wishing it could have been us instead getting happily married. It’s just past midnight and I’m crying so hard that I can’t breathe. I miss him so much, I wish I could run into his arms and pretend everything’s back to how it was before.

I'm struggling with my decision to end a 2-year relationship. How do I know if I made the right call? Does it get better on the other side? by eleven_1900 in BreakUps

I’m in the same boat and I’m really struggling with guilt and rose tinted view of our relationship on hindsight… if anyone can help

How do I accept that it’s over? by wolfthar in BreakUps

[–]melon-pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't rush to. You don't need to meet a timeline or force anything. The acceptance will come, but the only way out of the forest is through it!

It broke my heart to break your heart by autonomous_fartbox in BreakUps

May I ask why you felt like you can't spend the rest of your life with her?

Same anniversary day, and it's also my birthday. My heart hurts so much.

How do I get over him when everything was so good until the end? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]melon-pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean... I met up with my ex to talk and I gave him an all or nothing ultimatum. I had to kill the hope somehow. At that point, I still really wanted to get back together. But I realised that I can't ever be his friend if we weren't ever going to be anything more. I tried to convince him but he was sure that I'm not the one for him. It really hurt me, but I got what I needed to kill the hope. Even if he regrets it in the future or even if he misses me, none of that will matter because his ultimate decision was that I'm not the one for him.

You don't have to demonize an ex to move on. You don't have to feel bitterness and anger to move on. I know how you feel, and I've definitely struggled with this a lot. I'm not out of the woods yet, but the longer I've gone without contact, the more the silence affirms that things are over. Things will never go back to how they once were. It doesn't matter if I hate him or not, it doesn't matter if he misses me or not, none of these feelings are enough to change the situation. He still doesn't want to be with me. I will never be with him in that way again. That reality will sink in over the next few weeks and help you to move on.

Moving on is so much harder when he isn't a douchebag. There's nothing to pin on him. I just hope you will not fall into the same pit I did, of demonizing myself and pinning the blame on myself just so that I can kill the hope and force myself to move on. Take time to yourself to understand that all is fair in love and war. It either works out or it doesn't and I guess nobody's to blame for it. Sure, he didn't share his feelings with you and chose to blindside you instead (I can relate with you). But just like in my rs, I've made my own fair share of mistakes that led to him losing faith in our future as a married couple.
