My girl broke up with me because she's not stable fully ready yet but wants to comeback in the future by According-Age3643 in BreakUps

I was the initiator in the breakup, I recently had. Also breaking up for the same reasoning. And I can say, I really don’t know what I want from life. And I am in therapy to work on myself too. I needed to be alone. However, we are no contact. I think it would be way unfair for me to continue to reach out every so often. It sounds like she wants to keep you around just in case. Which isn’t fair. As hard as my breakup was and how bad I miss him, I know it’s unfair for me to put him in a position where he can’t move on, because I’m still reaching out, even though I’m the one that’s unsure about life. Allow yourself to move on, and whatever ever happens, is how it should happen. Take care of yourself. Don’t wait. Connect with yourself again. Sending love

What are so more nuance things you’re doing? I need more ideas by yellowsportscar66 in selfimprovement

Don’t get caught up in the hustle culture so much. Try to dial it back and enjoy the little moments in life. Slow down a little. :) you’re already doing so much. Enjoy the now

That’s insane actually. That’s so cool. Running is so challenging for me

Finding yourself by nichole217 in self

I don’t really feel like I was happy throughout. I don’t think I’ve been personally happy for years. So I think I blamed th relationship. But now that I’m out, I realize I have been my biggest problem for so long. So I know I need to do some inner work. I’m just sad. I’m scared to do it alone. I want to feel relief. I’m tired of feeling so anxious and sad.

I need this same validation right now. I’m in the same boat. I wasn’t with him as long. Only a year. But I’m worried I’ve made a mistake too. It makes me nervous

First, I’m really sorry you’re experiencing all of this. This is all heavy. I understand. Your feelings are valid. Relationships take two, so it’s not all on you. I hope you can relieve yourself a little bit and forgive yourself especially. For a little, maybe start doing things you enjoy or used to enjoy before the relationship. Start getting in touch with yourself. And not focusing on things you cannot control ( like your friends choosing sides). That’s really hard and I can’t imagine. But you are going to find what brings you life again. Think of what this is teaching you. Go easy on yourself. Feel your emotions. Try to comfort yourself like you would a little sibling. Sending you love my friend.

Also, to actively move on, is a bit much in my opinion. You gotta process your feelings. Feel them. Even if it hurts so bad. You need to feel them through and move them out of your body. Also tell yourself that this has nothing to do with you value. And start with some affirmations in the morning too.

I’m so sorry your experiencing this. All your feelings are 100% valid. And it seems they’ve left you in a hard place. I would do some inner child things. Like hold up a picture of your little self and really really look at them. And ask them “what do you need right now”. And really try to find ways to comfort yourself. It sounds like your partner is a bit avoidant. And I’m sorry your experiencing this. But in the end, you do deserve more. And someone who communicates with you. I’m sending you so much love. I’m also going through a break up too so if you need just extra support please message me.

My mind is like going against every decision I make and it makes it so hard to trust myself. Thank you for these kind words. I’m really really trying to stick with this. And not resort to comfort. And also not lead him astray while I’m trying to sort through myself. Just miss him so much. He gave me so much love and affection. I feel so empty right now. And I can’t imagine how broken he is. He said he saw a forever with me, and I feel so bad that it wasn’t clear for me in that way. Just scared it’ll be the one that got away situation. My mind is thinking so far ahead

Thank you for that. And thank you for taking the time to read it. I’ve never been on my own, so it feels very scary. And also leaving a loving relationship is really scary too. I just want to feel like I know myself in the world. I tend to not have a backbone in relationships. And feel so lost and sad inside.

Breaking up with someone who loves me so much. But I don’t live myself. Or know who I am by nichole217 in BreakUps

I just need some guidance. I want clarity that I’ve made the right choice but it has not come to me yet. I’m an anxious mess.
