My story:
Was dumped 5 months ago, after a 6,5 yrs together. He was 6 yrs younger than me, and quite the introvert, insecure type. Always had issues with communication, and some anxiety problems, but nothing that made him isolated. I loved him, I helped him, supported him. Helped him write his bachelors, helped him apply for his job. We were very close with his family, and he grew up in a farm where we spent all of the past summers. He told me he didn’t love me “like that” anymore.
3weeks after we broke up, and 2weeks after I moved out, there suddenly was another girl, a coworker. So I guess he fell for someone else. He’s still with this girl..
His family love me, and are maybe as sad as I am about it all. He’s supposedly not doing too good, but I’ve kept the NC with no slip ups since I found out about the other girl. She actually contacted me in October, telling me to delete a sentence from my blog (I write about dog training, only thing I wrote that I hadn’t been writing much because I was sad that my x dumped me, and it felt unfair. No names, no nothing). She said “she wanted to protect him”...
Now here I am. Broken beyond recognition, still. And I’m so, so, so tired of it all! I have a job I love, I bought my own apartment, I have a hobby I love.. I’m not sad all the time, but I lost the dream. Not only him, but my future (the farm), “my” (his) family, and my life...
I’ve tried dating. It’s a nice, short term distraction, then I just fall apart and give up. No one is him...
People say it gets better... When did it get better for you?
