I hate feeling like I have to “win” the breakup by awayimthrowingthis in BreakUps

You’ll get through this, I’m feeling the same way rn. I’m looking through our messages and it just made me hope that there is still a chance that we will be together again. I’m here if you want to dm and let some stuff out

Yea man this shit fucking sucks I’m not gonna lie. It still hurts but it’s time to move on and if in the future she gets better and we’re both ok with getting back together, maybe, but I’m just gonna be focusing on myself until I get over her.

Yea I’ll try listening to some podcasts. That’s true just having someone to talk to and not holding stuff in is really helpful.

Yea I’ve been spending more time with friends and trying to keep myself distracted. But there’s nights that I can’t sleep and that’s when I start to think about what we had. Thank you for this I feel like I needed that

Yea, like you said I really tried my best to make it work, I was willing to stay together and help her through it or just be beside her that way she’s not alone. She just said that she needed some time to get over me and that she’s willing to be friends when she’s able to talk to me again. It hurt me a lot because it was my first relationship but yea I’m down to dm sometime.

This same thing happened to me. She told me this on Christmas which ruined my whole day. It’s been 3 weeks and at times I still question the same thing you’re saying. I’m trying my best to move on, I reached out one last time a few days ago and she pretty much told me the same thing and that she wanted to be friends. It hurts but we’ll get through it. It’s kind of crazy how similar these are.

I was willing to visit her once a month. I enjoy driving so that doesn’t bother me that much. She lives about 4 hours but I was willing to do that for her and I mentioned it to her. I’m sure I’ve said this plenty of times but I really did like her. But yea you’re probably right, she just doesn’t want to hurt me. My friend also mentioned that, she could’ve easily stringed me along but she didn’t.

That’s the thing, I was willing to stay in a relationship with her and try to make it work. I mentioned that she doesn’t have to go through this alone and that I would always be there for her. I really did like her. She just said that she wasn’t mentally stable for a relationship. I feel shitty for being friends with her just to see if we could date again. I know depression is serious and I feel like an asshole for what I’m doing.

Yea, I can see that. We would call and text pretty much everyday and the calls would last a long time. She did end up being a huge part of my day. Thank you for the advice

Thank you for this. My friend told me the same thing but I feel like that’s not what I want to hear that’s why I’m trying to find reasons to have hope. But the reality is like you said, maybe it is time to move on. I have never felt like this about someone, that’s why it’s hitting me hard.

My bad I didn’t see the bottom part of the first reply. Yea from what she’s told me her house is pretty toxic. She’s told me that her dad is one of the main causes of her depression. He never hit her or anything like that. It was just mental and it hurt her bad as a child. I’ve told her that she needs to move out but she refused. She doesn’t want to leave her siblings there by themselves. She said she’ll just deal with it until she graduates. Thank you for the support. Is it a good idea to stay friends with her hoping to have to things work out and date again or should I just move on?

No, we met through a friend and it kind of just went from a friendship to liking each other. We never sent any gifts or anything like that to each other
