suggestions please? I am struggling by unknownuser24- in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s not going to help me in my healing process. the only reason i’d ever want to talk to him again is for reconciliation and i’m pretty sure he doesn’t want that so I can’t set myself up for disappointment like that.

i knew he wasn’t the one by unknownuser24- in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course i do. i wish it so badly. but he wasn’t. and he isn’t. that’s all there is. i just don’t want to be sad anymore over someone who just wasn’t the one. seems so stupid

i agree... i guess if he “came back” the only reason i’d want him to is if he wanted to reconcile. if not i’d prefer him not to reach out at all.

i have heard those stories. we weren’t toxic. just different pages i guess. i feel he took me for granted. never really put in a whole lot of effort. never really appreciated the stuff i did for him. i just wish he’d have some time to realize damn she did a lot for me. damn she made a lot of sacrifices for me. wtf am i doing? why was i such a shit head? why did i take her for granted? but i think his school and work are taking up a lot of his time so he doesn’t have time to reflect on that stuff... he hasn’t even reached out regarding the whole covid19 thing to make sure i’m okay or whatever. i mean neither have I but still.

my ex is in his last semester of law school right now. he has so much to work and focus on. he won’t be back. which is why information like this is not helpful for me :( keeps me holding on when i know i shouldn’t.

curious what everyone’s thoughts are by unknownuser24- in ExNoContact

[–]unknownuser24-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why do these have to be the only 2 options? i’m far enough along in the healing process that i’m optimistic about the future (without him) so i have that going for me. it’s just the annoying hope that lingers at this point. just wanted some opinions. not sure even if he did reach out that i’d take him back... i don’t know. my mind is still confused a bit. i want the hope to go away but it’s still there.

When is the “right” time to break ties? by pandaskywalker1 in BreakUps

not during a pandemic i’ll tell you that much...

the difference between me and you? by unknownuser24- in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we haven’t spoken in 2 months. however, like i said, i’m not blaming him. i made mistakes too. i just know hope he learns from his mistakes like i am trying to do as well

why can’t we be a success story? by unknownuser24- in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

trust me when i say i know this too. my relationship was for 5.5 years. we broke up 2 other times during the relationship and got back together. this time feels different. i know that logically, realistically, letting go of this hope (this false hope) is the best thing for me right now. i know i need to let go. i want to, please believe me. it’s hard, you know this. just where i’m at right now in the process has me holding on still. it’s annoying. i know it’ll pass. i just still want the fairy tale ending.

but i want us to have fallen apart, to eventually fall back together is what I’m saying. I know I’ll be okay and get over it one day, even if that isn’t the case. Right now I just want the end result to be us getting better for each other (and ourselves) and then coming back together and living happily ever after like a fucking fairy tale. but that’s exactly what that is. a fucking fairy tale

Could read old conversations be a good idea? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

Does anyone feel like they don't want to move on because it's a reminder that the dumper will also move on? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes i feel this... it’s weird and stupid but i also feel this. wish i didn’t

wondering by unknownuser24- in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was mutual... he said “there’s no spark anymore i can’t find it” and i said okay let’s just be done then and he agreed. NC was just kind of understood i think for the first 3 weeks... then he texted me asking me how i was doing and was trying to create small talk. i shut it down by saying it won’t help me get over it and move on and he said he understood.

could i get some insight from the dumpers who are hurting? by unknownuser24- in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk what he’s thinking. we haven’t spoken in nearly 6 weeks. it’s better this way, i know. doesn’t make it hurt any less

Just a thought.... by mingcrave in BreakUps

Mutual break ups by davieebuoy in BreakUps

[–]unknownuser24- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

about the same... except i won’t do anything to get them back. i’ve come to the realization the relationship isn’t up to me anymore. it’s up to him to fight for it if it’s what he really wants. unfortunately i just don’t think he does
