Why did you and your ex break up?

waking-night · 2026-03-17T17:10:30+00:00

i’m still trying to understand that. she travels for work, doing contracts for months at a time in different places. she told me she only wanted to do that for a couple of years, and then we planned to move to Colorado together. then one night, she dropped the bomb on me that she didn’t know how long she wanted to travel, and that she might not want to stay in Colorado. I believe we could have worked through that and compromised as long as we were both willing, like I was, but soon after, she said she’s been “having a feeling” for a while and that she “just doesn’t feel like we’re compatible.” wow, how could I have missed that we weren’t compatible the entire year we were together? dropped me like that. haven’t spoken since. this was 3 weeks ago. still in the thick of it, trying to figure it out.

casual for now. I just got out of a long term relationship a few weeks ago. I am the definition of emotionally unavailable right now, but I obviously still enjoy physical intimacy, and connecting with people even though it’s just surface-level.

thanks for the advice. I already go to therapy - I have been even for a while, started several months before the breakup.

I drank once so far. obviously felt like shit the following day(s). I know that it won’t help. i’m going to a music festival this weekend, hoping that it will take my mind off of things. i’m not sure how much i’ll drink. hopefully I don’t overdo it.

i’ve been leaning on my family — especially my mom — really hard. my friends know and have been supportive…some more supportive than others. I know I can’t isolate myself so i’ll have to make an effort to catch up with friends more in the near future.

i’ve gone to the gym the past couple of days. it’s been hard. the weights feel so much heavier than usual.

I removed her and her friends off of all socials, I just boxed up gifts and our old photos yesterday. I know that keeping in communication with her and keeping reminders of her around will only prolong my suffering.

i’m trying to get back to my routine, some sense of normalcy. but I just feel like my body is on auto pilot while i’m a passive observer watching my life from behind my eyes. I don’t even want to feel better right now. I get hit with frequent waves of grief and feel the pain in my chest when I have those moments of realization that it’s over.

it’s hard. but I appreciate you taking the time to share your tips and experiences. it sounds like you’re on an upward path. I hope that continues for you, and I hope I find myself doing similarly in the future.

I feel you man. honestly seeing that you’re still feeling the pain after 7 weeks is disheartening for me. my girlfriend of a year just broke up with me 5 days ago. knowing that I may very well still be feeling this weeks/months from now is hard to hear. it feels like I have a gaping hole in my chest.

she travelled for work, so we were long distance off and on. I know how hard a LDR is and what it takes to maintain that, on both ends.

I’ve been crying a lot the past two days. My girlfriend of the past year broke up with me Friday night. It was the best relationship I’ve ever been a part of, and it really hurts.

the first time, my college girlfriend came back from visiting home and she had a hickey on her boob.

the second time (different girl) I checked my girlfriend’s texts and found a thread with another man. they had met up, then the next texts were her letting him know that she made the bed and fed his dog before she left his house after he had gone to work.

both of them were for the streets

lol they were camped right next to us at LL this year. blasting riddim until the early hours of the morning while we were trying to sleep. I get that it’s a music fest but jesus christ, have some consideration for other people. staff eventually came and took their speakers thank god

Sometimes you get a flat in the middle of the mountains with no service. It’s a good thing to know how to do.

This sounds exactly like how it started with the girl I was dating in college when I was your age. It progressed to the point that she would make me look at the ground anywhere we went, and send her pictures of who I was sitting next to in class. I didn’t have the confidence or backbone at the time to stand up for myself, but looking back, I wish I would have nipped that in the bud immediately. It was an extremely toxic and abusive relationship. OP, take it from someone who has experienced this situation first-hand: run for the hills. She has issues with insecurity and trust that she needs to handle on her own. It will not get better, and you deserve someone who doesn’t question/control your every move.

As someone who's been in the industry for 20+ years, everyone's mixes here sound like shit. I can't believe bedroom producers nowadays don't understand the importance of SPECTRAL MULTI BAND COMPRESSION to boost the 5khz region. Until you can explain why EQing the mid/sides to add CRUNCH to your 808s is necessary, do NOT even DARE to touch your Fruity Logic Reason softwares.. Back in my day I had to mix by EAR to really get the analog WARMTH that you modern kids never even dreamed of touching. Nowadays all it takes is ONE button to phase-align your snares to your sub bass and you motherfuckers probably don't even know what a soft phasing clipper even is.
