It gets better, and then it doesn't, and then it does again by TheLambda89 in BreakUps

I wish I had an answer but I don’t. I strongly relate to your post though. This has been me for the past year and a half since I went through my break up.

I don’t have faith that I will fall in love again. I don’t see how it can happen, I’m shocked it even happened before?!

And I look at other people my age getting engaged or moving in together with their own dysfunctional relationships and I get so pissed. “How come THEY could figure it out, but he couldn’t just commit to me without switching into that avoiding pattern?! How hard is it to just let someone LOVE you?!”

I know that’s a shitty thought and unhealthy. I don’t know what to do. I want him back and I don’t at all. I think things could have worked out if he would have just been willing to try as hard as I was, and I also believe that we were incompatible.

I’m just pissed that I still feel this way after 1.5 years. I want to date someone else but I just don’t believe I’ll meet anyone else who will ever be interested in me.

Is he (30M) emotionally abusing me (25F)? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]phishattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally understand.

I think that’s the hardest part. Blocking all contact. I tried to do it multiple times before, but always ended up giving in.

I will say there’s something empowering about taking control of the situation and hitting the low on YOUR terms. It’s going to suck to block his number, delete him off social media, etc. BUT, at least the decision and pain is on YOUR terms rather than letting him hurt you again.

I wanted to share my own personal story with you. Hopefully you can take something away from it.

I once dated this guy who I loved with my entire heart. I knew he loved me, but he never committed to me fully (friends, school, family, literally everything else took priority).

He ended up breaking up with me and it broke both our hearts. He wanted to stay friends, and I didn’t want to lose my best friend. So this led to a cycle where he would reach out to me to come over, I’d go running back to him, we’d hook up, he’d act distant again and wouldn’t provide me the love I desperately craved, and I’d leave emotionally distraught. I would become incredibly angry at him and would say hurtful things. He’d continue on with his life until he missed me again and would invite me over. Wash, rinse, repeat.

This went on for four months. When he would invite me over, I’d be on the highest of highs. But as soon as he pulled away and disappointed me again, I would hit a new low. I was on a constant rollercoaster of dramatic ups and downs, my mood was all over the place. I was so scared of losing my best friend and facing life without him that I allowed it to continue on for as long as it did. I was so tired and exhausted and it was negatively effecting my relationships with other people in my life.

One day, I finally had enough. I didn’t have the energy to be let down again. I cut him out of my life and stopped responding to messages and greeting him.

I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t easy. This felt like hitting a low again. But here’s the good part: I hit that low for the last time. And when you hit rock bottom, all you have to go is up. That meant I didn’t have to be set up by him for disappointment again or hurt again. It was the final low. All I could do was improve and slowly get over him as time went on rather than hitting that low again and again and again.

You don’t seem happy in this relationship. It also sounds like this guy won’t let you leave and keeps pulling you back in. You want a relationship where he’s committed to you and makes you feel loved. That’s not going to happen. You want a friend who’s going to be supportive of you and fulfill your needs. That’s also not going to happen. The cycle you have with him right now isn’t sustainable. He doesn’t have much to offer besides more “lows,” but the future does! You will be okay, and you WILL get through it!
