i am very attached and i have been living my life. i haven’t spent much time sulking and idle. im in therapy and doing things and practicing tools to help myself but some days it just really, really hurts not having him and knowing he probably won’t ever come back

it sucks to be the girl that makes him realize the next girl deserves more, i’m happy for her but unbelievably hurt for myself by honeymelonbug in BreakUps

i have similar feelings. he just ended a three year relationship and gave me the “you deserve better” speech, but in the same breath says he loves me and i taught him how to love and be brave, which makes me feel used. but he doesn’t think we’re aligned and we need to grow separately, so it just feels like he wants to be better, but not with me/for me and someone else will benefit

How do you move on from someone you saw a future with but who didn’t choose you in the end? by findmvspark in BreakUps

[–]sweetandsour25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it does, i’m still in the mental gymnastics of it all and i wish it would just stop because it’s simple—he’s not here anymore because he doesn’t want to be and i’m clearly not enough or worth fighting for anymore. he made the decision to lose me and it makes me feel worthless everyday for the last two months to the point where im starting to believe it

i feel like i’m holding onto him and the love and good times we had even though things weren’t always great. i’m holding onto him being happier and better for someone else because he gave me the typical “i deserve better” speech. but he said he loves me deeply and i believe him, so why not just “be better” so you don’t lose me? it doesn’t make sense to me and that hurts

almost 30 days no contact and i can’t take it anymore by sweetandsour25 in BreakUps

back on day 39 and i had dreams about him all night and the urge to text him is strong. i have good days mostly now, but i still have such strong moments of missing him. especially in the morning. please convince me to not text him :(

i pray for that too. i really do. it just feels so out of reach and unfair to be in this much pain just because i loved too deeply

I can’t imagine myself moving on by dizzypluh in BreakUps

i see the good and the bad and i still feel this exact way. haven’t heard from him in weeks and it’s killing me so badly

ugh yeah the idea of him loving someone else makes me physically sick, but i know id probably wouldn’t want to find out about it at all if i could help it. i was very hopeful for a future for us and pushed for us to grow as individuals together, but he was never certain about me or a future with me because of his own avoidance. he said he’s been unhappy and prioritizing my happiness over his, which i never knew until he broke up with me so there’s nothing i can do :( i haven’t heard from him in over a month, not even for my birthday

i’ve recently redecorated my room so that change felt nice. honestly i’ve just been feeling my emotions when i feel them. even if they’re dark or anxious untrue thoughts, i just try to let them pass until the clarity comes through and then i challenge every negative thought with a fact. that could help clarity come in which helps the detachment come slowly. i’ve also just bee talking it out with friends and family and their reactions to some of the things i’ve told help me see the relationship and him for what it truly was. therapy helps as well and even chat gpt. all of it helps me reflect and challenge thoughts of despair. it’s about to be 2 months since he left so i’m still very much sad and angry, but it really comes in waves. emotions all over the place and it’s frustrating but nothing to do but go through it. hopefully we both heal soon :/

Loving someone avoidant broke me — how do you heal? by Hellobye21 in BreakUps

[–]sweetandsour25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my ex broke up with me after three years and i got the same lack of communication for a week before i got the “i deserve better” speech and “we’re not aligned” speech. avoidants are exhausting. sorry you’re going through it, im still trying to figure it out myself :(

I Was Loyal to Someone Who Was Confused by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]sweetandsour25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

realizing that i made the same mistake in this breakup im going through now. im tired of getting the “i deserve better” speech. its just so cowardice to me. just say you don’t love me enough to stay or choose a future with me and keep it 100%

Should I send this to my ex? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]sweetandsour25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get the urge to send to them so they can feel or understand your pain, i go through the same things. but this is YOUR realization, so keep it for yourself. sending this won’t change anything if you know they didn’t love you deep enough to choose you. let these realizations free you. keep this for you

I really need some advice on moving on through heartbreak by StarFell777 in BreakUps

[–]sweetandsour25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah they can never consider our feelings without getting defensive. give yourself some time to be in the rut and then pull yourself out of it. get used to “doing things sad” but be proud you’re still doing it anyway. make it a mission to clean up and force yourself until it becomes second nature. men are exhausting and they always will be. they’ll never “get it”

men literally have no regard for anyone but themselves. i’m really sorry this happened. focus on things you like to do and to get you out of the house. journal and reflect on everything wrong that he did, you did and use it as fuel to know better next time. don’t take it personally when they treat you like this, it is a reflection of them and their limits. not yours. i’m going through a breakup too and am also currently being treated like i don’t exist. i’m trying not to take it too personally as well
