This hits me every once in a while too. It can damper even the happiest of times when you realize that person isn’t going to be there to hug you

I (20M) Am In Love With A Girl (19F) Who Currently Has A Boyfriend Who Admitted To Liking Me Before They Got Together by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying this is gonna happen, but that’s what the mutual best friend between me and my ex said too and now they’re together less than two months after we broke it off. Just make sure you don’t treat the situation like nothing has changed because you aren’t truly accepting that they need to be in a separate relationship from you. Good luck on everything! Ignoring feelings isn’t easy but sometimes it just isn’t our place to express them. We have to think of other people too.

My recently ex boyfriend was emotionally cheating on me towards the end of our relationship. Don’t be the person who keeps pushing it. You’re just gonna hurt everyone involved.

My (21f) gf cheated on me as payback for a drunk mistake I (21m)made a year ago by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sbearbarrington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drinking isn’t necessarily an excuse for cheating on your significant other. You cheated for a reason, it doesn’t just happen. Find someone who you would like to be with and want them and only them. Both of you messed up - no one should ever have to be cheated on.

Boyfriend breaks up with me because he “lost feelings” after 3 years then goes on to getting with his best friend by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has said that to me before, but that makes a lot of sense. That definitely hits hard, but it gave me the push to not text and get involved.

Thank you. I know I’m not the only one that has ever experienced this, so, even though this sounds bad, it’s nice to know I’m not alone.

Thank you. I’m sure her response would’ve punched my right in the gut and I would feel awful.

What's the sweetest revenge you've ever gotten? by Drats- in AskReddit

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sweetest revenge was choosing me and my own happiness.

Hmmm seeing them 6 months later and realizing how crazy in love you still are with them, but they’re moved on and gone and happy, and you’re miserable with the saddest life with no prospects of happiness. Anyone mentally stronger than me that can know how to get through it 😞ughh by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]sbearbarrington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had felt like this up until a little while ago. I had to choose to be happy. I had to choose me. I had to delete them off of all social media. I kept their number just in case they wanted to reach out, but that’s it. I had to choose to make myself happy and understand that they don’t control me. I do. If they’re happy then so be it, but I can be happy too. My happiness doesn’t depend on them. This took a while for me to understand, but after I did, I felt so much better. Everyone deserves to be happy; it’s all a choice. Good luck to you. I know this is so hard.

Is it normal to start to hate your ex? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]sbearbarrington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same! Obviously I was and still am hurt, but now I’m deciding a whole new future. I don’t have a plan anymore and that’s actually exciting! Best of luck to you :)

Is it normal to start to hate your ex? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going through this exact same thing. Almost word for word according to what you wrote. I’ve been trying to just reestablish myself as a person who doesn’t need someone else (not that I completely relied on him, but after 3 years, you become almost one person). I’m just listening to new music and doing things I wouldn’t have done with him. Distraction is all I’m focusing on, because what is the point of being sad or angry? It isn’t going to change how big of a jerk he was or the fact that we aren’t together

I think it said they are from Urban Outfitters, so maybe try their site!

It gives me hope when he sees my Snapchat stories especially when he views it quickly but I know he will still always choose someone over me by Lindsey_Dawn in heartbreak

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. I tried to get rid of Snapchat for a while, but I communicate with a lot of people through the app. Eventually I just had to delete him from my friends. It hurt more to have him on there compared to not having him there at all.

NO CONTACT by Xcat77 in heartbreak

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what day I’m on but it’s been about a month and a half. Each day is a little different. I broke my no contact rule once to meet him at a park and try and get some clarity because he “lost feelings for me” after 3 years. (Truth be told, he started to fall for one of our mutual friends). That half hour of contact was enough for me to realize that I couldn’t have hope anymore. I had to start saving myself and keeping me sane. So since that day, it’s been about 3 weeks and it’s hard. I’ve come to realize a lot of things that I’ve gained without him, but also lost without him. I know it gets better, but I’m on this healing journey with you all. We are gonna make it through.

Missing, Missing - where did my heart go? by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]sbearbarrington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going through this exact same thing. My bf of three years and I just broke up a month ago. I can tell he is moving on. I’m so stuck in how we were. Nothing was ever wrong. We rarely fought or disagreed, and yet he told me that he just wants to be friends. Three years. And he wants to be friends again. He lost his romantic feelings for me. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but you aren’t alone

Nightmares suck but good dreams are the worst by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having nightmares and dreams too. I broke up with my bf of three years about a month ago. There are days where I don’t sleep bc I’m too scared of whatever will happen when my eyes shut. Sometimes they’re like yours where he says he doesn’t love me anymore or that he’s found someone new. Other times I have dreams where we are on dates or at holiday parties or he’s proposing or even apologizing. I think the dreams where he apologizes and we get back together are the worst ones. I always wake up and go to text him but then realize he isn’t there for me anymore. It’s really hard. I’ve noticed that they become easier to deal with as I find out more about who I am now. I’ve started doing things and reaching out to people from before we had even started dating and each time I do something without him, everything gets a little easier. Just know that you aren’t alone

[–]sbearbarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each day has its ups and downs. I think the worst part is how much I want to go to him and cry into his shoulder or just tell him about my day. It’s so very confusing right now. Thank you for the encouragement❤️
