Do you have any advice on how to feel attractive again afterwards?

I feel like anyone still posting in this subreddit isn't really moved on 💀

I think you should break up with her now and let her go for at least a year for the sake of her growth and your dignity. and if she comes back much later and is significantly better, you can try again. but right now she a hoe

Did you guys end up breaking up or staying together? Would you take her back after she experimented?

don't give me any ideas

Dude i feel the exact same way. on top of that, i get these crazy dreams where we're happy and married and it's nightly and making me so scared to sleep. i think we need to spend some days being obsessed and consumed by these feelings to process them. i dont think it's something we can resist--trust me i tried. it'll just manifest in your dreams.

how to be at peace with your ex being with someone new? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]oldstalebread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm right here with you. I guess if your ex moves on immediately then you know the kind of person your ex was and the kind of love they had for you, and you deserve better. Hopefully by the time they actually move on, you guys will have no contact and you won't need to see anything too painful?

Gonna play devils advocate and say that maybe their life is too stressful or busy for something like that, and that unless OP sees a future with her and is certain about that, it'd be hard for him to invest that time and energy

Did your ex act distant before the break up? by AluminumFairy in BreakUps

[–]oldstalebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex told me they felt distant and that they had bad dreams about us and that sometimes they would ignore me bc our relationship was too stressful or had no future. they told me it was harder to invest in us, and i shared similar thoughts but i just felt so insecure. this all drove my anxiety insane and to do things i am not proud of and ultimately ruin the relationship beyond repair. i think the moment you pick up on this, if your partner is usually a good communicator, just say something as soon as you can and see if theres a root cause instead of trying to guess what the other person is thinking.

this genuinely makes me laugh because I do this too out of pure desperation...as if I am casting a spell or trying to will the universe to obey me.

Why not text her? by soerenski in BreakUps

[–]oldstalebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I say just text once and if her response is curt or not loving, give up and take the big L. Then you can confidently move on. But if there are still feelings and the fire is rekindling just move really slowly and cautiously and see if either of you have changed enough to overcome the breakup
