If you donāt mind the ask, what exactly happened with your ex?~
Iāve been following you for a long time and Iāve seen your previous posts + hints about what happened in the end. I think Iām going through something similar and Iām just looking for hope that it gets easier! <3~
Ah, i never get on here anymore except to vent so I totally missed this!! So sorry, love! (And oh gosh, Iām sorry youāve had to be subjected to my rantings and ravings for so long lol š).
Iām sorry that youāre possibly going through something similar because honestly, it was the absolute worst. My ex boyfriend was not very emotional in our relationship. In fact, he canāt feel empathy, so that always made things a little hard. Honestly, there were a bunch of issues leading up to the main cause. Lots of little things that broke me down and wore me out (such as he refused to wish me a happy birthday or what seemed like silly little things like that).
Last year, he started spending more and more time on discord. He started ignoring me. Eventually, it came to a breaking point where I told him flat out that how I felt. He apologized and said he would spend more time with me and was sorry I had felt that way. Spoiler alert, it didnāt get better. While he āspent timeā with me, he was ALWAYS on his phone. I mean, constantly. I was starting to break mentally again. And then⦠I got pregnant and decided on having an abortion because neither of us wanted to have kids and we werenāt ready for that anyway. And things were even harder. He wasnāt there for me when I needed him the most. He was on discord, chatting up this girl all the time. He would talk to her well into the night (like, five am and keeping me up all night doing so). And he claimed it was because he was in a bad place mentally and his friends made him feel better. Well, if that wasnāt a sucker punch to my already wounded emotions. Because I did love him. I loved him a lot.
Well, he went on vacation to meet this friend and her brother. Was going to stay the week there. He broke up with me while he was there (and spoiler alert, they got together and their āget togetherā date on Facebook is two days before we broke up š). I donāt think he really physically cheated on me, but he 110% emotionally cheated on me. And not just with her, but with other women. And Iām petty and wonder if she knows he was still thinking of getting back together with me the week he had come back š¤
In any case, I had brushed a lot of my feelings under the rug because I didnāt want to be the kind of girlfriend who got jealous or who clung to hard or who did anything of that sort. I shouldnāt have done that. I should have put my own feelings first. It would have saved me a world of trouble.
I donāt know exactly what youāre going through, but if you think youāre seeing red flags, please donāt brush them off. Oftentimes, your gut is right. If you think you should leave, do it. For me, I didnāt leave even though I had thought of it a few times in our almost four years together because I didnāt think anyone would love me like he did. But guess what? Someone does. Actually, scratch that, they treat me a hell of a lot better than he ever did. He treats the people around me a lot better than my ex ever did. My ex drove me from the people I loved because none of them wanted to be around him. Because he was an asshole. There is hope. It gets better. And yeah, sometimes you have to go through hell first. Doesnāt mean we have to appreciate the experience or anything tho.
When I was worried he was going to break up with me before he did, I had commented my worries on a Patreon post of my idol (who had asked how everyone was doing) and she responded, ending her post with āLet the boyfriend go if you gotta. and remember that everything changes.ā So, I pass those words along to you. Everything changes, but sometimes, itās for the better.
Also, Iāll try and keep an eye out here. So if you need anyone to talk to, please reach out.
Just know, I see you, anon. I send my love to you for whatever your situation is. Good luck! You got this!
