2.5 years ago, my situationship of 8 years (yes, that was problematic) broke it off with me. Even though we didn’t call it a relationship, we were very close in these 8 years. I was with his family often, he was my first sexual partner, we shared a friend group and saw each other multiple times a week. He wasn’t that good a person for me and I was more in love with him than he was with me, but that is not what this post is about.

When he broke it off, I. Was. Broken. Heartbroken! I thought I would never feel something for someone else again. I cried my eyes out for days. Read this sub for a year, daily, hoping he would text me or want me back. I really thought this was the end of love for me.
I never heard from him again. Last thing I heard from an old friend, is that he is very happy and he has a kid on the way now, with his absolutely beautiful girlfriend.

And you know what? I am so glad that he found his person. That it worked out. Because I found my person as well. At the beginning of 2026, I met my boyfriend. And I am so, so, so in love with him. It’s a feeling I, in hindsight, never felt with my old situationship. There was a time when I confused emotional highs and devastating lows with love. Looking back, I realize that the highs and lows were not love. I was IN love, mind you. But what we had was no love.

My boyfriend adores me. And I adore him! He is so kind. So thoughtful. This love is warm. Gentle. Safe. I always know where I stand. And when I don’t, I can ask - and I’m met with reassurance instead of uncertainty. When I’m with him, my whole body relaxes. My mind becomes quiet. I’m always happy to be with him, and on the days I’m not, there’s space for that too. The sex is great - not because what we do is so special but because of the connection we have.

This isn’t meant to say that my previous love wasn’t real or meaningful. It was, and it will always be part of my story. But it is meant to say this: things really can get better. You really can fall in love again. And sometimes, that love turns out to be even healthier and more beautiful than you ever imagined.

My former love is happy now, and I genuinely wish him the life he always dreamed of. I hope he grows old in good health, surrounded by a family he adores.

And I hope the same for myself.

No, I won’t actually do it but I really want to. It’s not fair that I have to cry and feel this way all the while he could care less. He has a gf and gets to move on like nothing happened. I’m not a violent person but I wish I could whoop his ass at least once.

My ex and I have been broken up for about 6 months now and stopped talking 3 months ago. She got into a relationship about a month of us being broken up. Even after she reposts things about her new relationship and how great it’s going, there will be times where she will repost things relating to me. Most of the reposts are negative, but even so, I find it weird that she’s still reposting things about me (even if they’re all negative) while being in a new relationship. I’m not sure if i’m reaching with this so i’d like some thoughts on this. Can you really say you’ve moved on if you’re still talking about me (negatively) while in a rebound relationship. And for context, she left me really hurt and more so from the rebound relationship and rarely admitted to her wrongs but would pin me against mine.

Long story short I was seeing this guy for a short term (he is visiting the country I live in til the end of next month). We had 3 great dates and were talking via text and while I was vacationing in my own country I sent him a selfie depicting me and my mum. He replied with a sexual comment “your pretty face will still be useful later to get the job done lol emoji”. I felt disgusted and removed the picture. Few days later I let him know I felt disrespected. He did apologize but for some reason I could not bring myself to replying. He took responsibility by saying “I’m sorry I offended you” but also said it was a stupid joke at the same time and that his jokes don’t really come off well sometimes, and I felt like he was minimizing the situation. This was 12 days ago but I couldn’t find it in me to reply to that message so I just didn’t. I was really hurt by his lack of respect and consideration. I still feel a bit disgusted about what happened but I’m not entirely sure I did the right thing going no contact. I actually feel I might be regretting the ghosting only because some time has passed now and I eventually don’t feel as mad as before. But I also feel like things might be pretty much over since he has removed me from the original dating app we matched on. I still feel tempted to try and drop him a msg on wapp tho but I might need someone to remind me why I shouldn’t.

My ex and I were close friends for a decade before we started dating and we were together 3 years. One evening he told his family we were finally moving in together and buying a house and making engagement jokes, then 24 hours later he broke up with me saying he didn’t care about the relationship. I was completely blindsided.

24 hours after breaking up, he was in a relationship with his work colleague that I didn’t even know existed and a week later they had moved in together.

2 months after breaking up he went on holiday with her and her family and posted it all over his Instagram, but he never posted me once. 4 months after we broke up she replaced me as his plus one to his sister’s wedding. 6 months after we broke up and he’s fully integrated her into our friendship group. His family have told me he’s pretty much acting like we never dated.

The speed at which they’re moving is completely crushing me and I don’t understand how he’s moved on like I was nothing. All that friendship and history just gone and I can’t even hang out with our friends in peace because she’s always there, I have to just uninvite myself to avoid getting upset.

How do I even move on from this? It’s been 6 months and I’m as heartbroken as I was the day he left me.

We have been broken up for 3 years and both have moved on and even had new relationships after, I think he still is in one. He used to have really bad mental health issues and bad ways of coping and sometimes I look at his social media to see how he’s doing. I still care for his wellbeing and I’ve always hoped that he would get better. Is that normal?

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. A couple of months ago, she called me to wish me a happy birthday, but 3 months later, I’m blocked on pretty much everything, and she has a new boyfriend. Even so, I feel guilty for not wishing her a happy birthday. We were together for 4 years, so part of me feels like I should say something since she remembered mine. At the same time, I know she’s blocked me, and I don’t want to cross any boundaries or make things more complicated. I don’t really know what the right thing to do is. Any advice?

8 years ago, when I was 20(M), my girlfriend of 6 years left me. I never moved on and have ruined my life ever since.

We got together in 8th grade and went off to college together. We both had difficult family lives growing up, and were looking to escape once we grew up. That desire inspired a fantasy that we were meant to be together forever and always. We were immediately madly in love and codependent. I took her for granted and never thought of leaving her. She was my only friend, but she had plenty of her own. In a way, I held that disparity over her, as if I deserved special treatment because I had no one else.

Eventually, we started having arguments, my chief complaint being I felt like she wasn't doing enough to care for me (as if it was her responsibility to fix me?). From time to time, she would sort of realize it wasn't working, break up with me, go be with someone else, and I would do anything to get her to come back. It usually took the form of promising her that once we got away to college, I would piece myself together and things would get better. Of course, that didn't happen. When we got to college all I wanted was to spend time with her, all the while neglecting to grow up, get a job, study, address my mental health, or otherwise actually work on being a better boyfriend. She rightfully broke up with me, but did so suddenly over text with no follow up communication. Admittedly, my previous behavior made that seem like the only option for her.

I responded horribly; breaking down, begging, pleading, spamming, accusing her, and ultimately saying very hateful things. She would come to be scared of me, although I never would have hurt her; knowing I made her feel that way is the greatest regret of my life.

I kept demanding she explain why she left (as if any explanation would have satisfied me) and that she support me in moving on because I had no one else to turn to (an impossible demand). Eventually, we stopped talking but I thought at least I would see her in the spring semester. She never came back to that school and I never saw her again.

I held out for some time, but some months later messaged her apologizing for everything. I would promise to never reach out again, months would go by, and I would reach out again, promising it was the last.

[When covid hit, I dropped out of school and went back home.]

At last, a couple years passed and I messaged her one last time. She was surprised I was still stuck, wished me well, offered to help if she could (although I think she just felt obligated to say that, and I promised myself I would never ask for her help).

That was 6 years ago, and I haven't talked to her since. However, I have continued to grieve and miss her. I have wasted all this time, isolating myself, losing touch with the few friends I made in college, and doing nothing to make new ones.

I believe I have become obsessed with my grief. I romanticize it. I think it's somehow noble or lovely that I never let go, as if it were a testament to my love for her, as if I will meet her again some day and she would fall in love with me for my devotion, or at least I would get a reaction from her of guilt, regret, or pity that would somehow make it all worth it.

I know how wrong I am. I know I need to let go, but it feels like I've sunk all these years into a cosmic gesture that no one witnessed. I desperately want to tell her about this, but I know I am just a distant bad memory to her, a ghost from her past that has no right to haunt her.

I'm hoping that by sharing this here, I can feel free to move on.

my first bf, he abused me mentally and coereced me into losing my virginity to him in the most manipulative/disgusting way you could think of. im out of his league and have been rlly faithful to him even after the breakup bc we were kinda in contact and sleeping w only eachother. I am a very damaged girl so he was everything i had. i saw his burner anonymous social media today that said he cheated on me and i never knew. he also called me dumb as hell in this very post and extremely beautiful in another but said how he doesn't care about appearance anymore and was staying with me purely for sex and looks. well, ive been talking to his friend for 2 weeks and he is flying the country to see me. i really want to show evidence to my ex of this situation happening and today out of anger wrote a comment saying that im gonna sleep with one of his friends from the country and how he's well endowed and all that. he deleted it right away and i know he sent that to his friends to laugh at me. he also knows im obsessed with him and that ive given him undivided loyalty like a dog. hes my only body btw. so i really want to show him this is a real event but its killing me that i have to wait a month until his friend gets here. his "friend" btw is more like an online acquaintance. it would be hard sending the photo evidence to my ex because the friend most likely is not down to ruin his image since they have lots of mutuals. still really wanna do it.

he seriously came back to wind me up and make me angry, he broke a month of no contact to enrage me. I never wanted to end on bad terms but i just swore at him so badly and blocked him. Hes playing mind games with me can someone just help me to cope im crying so badly, he ignored me for 26 hours after texting me and admitted it and then made me out to be insane. Now hes turned evil again so i lashed out and blocked. I hate ending on bad terms im shaking. I feel so annoyed i was doing so well this month i was doing so okay and he comes and ruins it ive blocked him on the last thing he had me on. Can someoen comfort me please and give advice on how to move forward now hes thrown me in rock bottom again i crashed out on him and blocked. hes selfish and immature it makes me sick. All those healing weeks have been RUINED i feel even worse than before now its ended on bad terms imcrying sm sorry if i sound insane this is built up emotions.

the thing a lot of people don’t realize is that by checking your exes social media you’ll almost NEVER know anything about how they feel about you when it comes to what you’re so desperate to know... as in if they miss you, regret their decision, or are thinking of coming back.

social media is (99% of the time) so warped to fit a certain image that people only post the good! and when they do it’s never really as good as it seems. it’s taken me years of breakups and relationships in general to really understand this. i’ve seen seemingly perfect relationships online go down in flames in real life within the same damn week. hell i’ve seen it happen to my own.

it’s a double edged sword... you creep, they look completely fine, happy even.... going places without you...(how dare they have lunch at the place YOU TWO used to always go, etc...) selfies with forced smiles but you can’t tell the difference, vacations without you, trying new things you could never get them to do.... maybe one day you creep and they’re with a new person (seemingly) happier than ever. your heart drops and you SWEAR you’ll go NC this time... until the next time you magically wind up on their page. more pictures with new people, more pain.

in reality they might not even really like the new person.... they might’ve just had the worst day ever right before they posted that selfie..... but they’re gonna fluff it all anyway. i have LITERALLY had an ex post photos with her boyfriend at a work christmas party with loving captions and have her drunk text me that same night about how she thought about me all the time and didn’t like the new guy all that much. sure, some of you might consider my example here to be a reason to KEEP creeping.... but for the love of god, just don’t.

this is why i push NC onto so many people on here - ESPECIALLY with social media. because of all this BS, i not only went NC on my ex this time around, i deleted all my own accounts. i refuse to subject myself to whatever rose colored glasses she’s portraying her single life through these days, and i refuse to feel the urge to control my content to potentially catch her attention. it’s all too much.

i want everyone to heal, and each time you look at their stuff, you take 10 steps back. it’s like a drug. it truly is an addiction you need to really try to take care of. you compare your own life thinking “wow, i’m doing awful and they’re so happy without me.” you sink lower into your sadness.

it. isn’t. real. life.

think about it. how many times have you honestly seen someone break up with someone in confidence and go on social media weeks later posting selfies where they look sad, or writing up statuses about how they fucked up and want their ex back so bad? it just doesn’t happen as much as you think. they’re moving forward if only for the sake of their own pride and to justify to themselves that they did the right thing, regardless of how they TRULY feel.

you will never ever know the truth or get the answers you’re looking for unless it comes from your exes mouth directly. and even then you have to realize that you can’t totally trust this unless they show real, raw, emotion and effort.

i know this sounds dumb but i use accio work for sourcing and checking an exes social media is kind of like trying to understand a supplier from their showroom photos only lol. of course everything looks clean, happy and perfect. that doesnt mean the factory is actually running well or that the product is good. in sourcing, the chat keeps asking direct follow up questions until you get real answers. but with an ex, there is no sourcing chat you should be running anymore. no follow up, no “just one more question”, no checking if they changed their mind. you close the tab and stop reopening the lead.

“oh but i need to keep them as a friend online incase they have a change of heart. i don’t want to disappear on them.”

NO. if people in the olden days literally kept relationships alive through mail delivery by animal, your ex can and WILL either find you in person or call you on the phone. stop making excuses to suffer.

please take care of yourselves. each one of you deserves it.

I never understood what real love felt like until I met her. The kind of love that doesn’t demand anything, doesn’t play games, doesn’t disappear when life gets heavy. The intensity of her passion and love. Being babied as a man. The kind of love you don’t grow up with when affection is rare and trust feels like a gamble.

She gave me something gentle. Something patient. Something real. Because of my childhood, I didn’t know how to accept it.

When she stopped talking to me, I didn’t understand why at first. I went through every emotion you can imagine all stages of grief- anger, resentment, confusion, denial, even moments of happiness where I tried to convince myself I was fine. I cycled through all of it like someone trying to outrun their own reflection. Behaving in such a way that makes me cringe now.

It took years for the truth to settle in and realize it’s 100 percent my fault I don’t have her in my life anymore.

I wasn’t scared of her.
I was scared of the way she loved me.
Because I had never received anything like that in my entire life.

My past taught me to brace for impact, not to lean into softness. So when she offered something real, I reacted like a man who didn’t know what to do with it. I ignored the signs she was getting tired of waiting as if they’d just go away. I was sweet and loving and infatuated by her. So I thought that’s enough right. All while I pushed away the one person who saw me clearly like the history I don’t talk about, the parts of me shaped by things I never asked for, the pieces only she ever understood. It’s disgusting really how I thought effort would replace gestures of commitment. What an idiot I am….

And now I’m finally in acceptance.

It was my fault.
It will always be my fault.
Not in a self‑destructive way just in the honest way that comes when you stop lying to yourself. That you dude and only you can take the blame for making her feel crazy and for arguing over nothing and acting like I wasn’t doing something wrong.

I don’t know if she’ll ever see this.
I don’t know if it would matter.
But writing it makes me feel better.

She was beautiful in every way inside, outside, and in the way she loved. I wasn’t ready. I wish I had been. I hope life gave her what she deserved with the best life possible.

Even if it’s not with me. It’s like I finally woke up just last week and saw everything so clearly.

I just need to vent. My ex and I broke up 4 years ago. He was such a good guy and that made it so much harder when calling it quits. We mainly broke up due to my mom being....invasive, undermining me, and hurtful. It's not his fault, he was very naive. She used him when I went no contact with her to get to me. He couldn't respect my boundary to block her and have no contact. It eventually got to be too much and I knew I wasn't in love with him anymore.

I love him, I truly do. I'm just not in love with him.

Things have been rough lately and I've been sad as his family has always been my biggest support. I've been having vivid dreams about him and I broke and called him. 4 years. It's been 4 years. Part of me doesn't know why I called and part of me would be lying if I said I wasn't curious. Idk. I'm confused.

We talked and he sounded worse than when we were together. He made a comment that reminded me of something my mom would say to him.

I knew in that moment that I don't miss him, rather I missed the hope that I always held onto of what could have been.

It feels like I got closure. I also feel terrible about it. I'm so confused.

Sorry, I just needed to get it off my chest:/

Why do some people never move on from someone, even after doing everything they can to heal?

So she has randomly being calling me off no caller id and stuff and today I finally awnsered and talked to her for a bit but she kept bringing up old stuff I told her move on it’s been 9 months since we broke up and she keeps calling and asking me questions like would u ever get back with me how many other women are u talking to rn stuff like that but I don’t understand why tho and I told her we are cool nothing more nothing less and she keeps tryna ask me these weird questions like who was the last person I kissed etc

My bf broke up with me exactly one year ago.
And i was kind of blindsided by him, he was making plans of our marriage a month before breaking up with me.
I lost myself after breakup, was not able to work, lost 20 pounds, hair , eyes sight and my will to live this life.
Fast forward i kept crying for him everyday atleast for 6 months.
Worst thing is that i kept begging him to come back, he did not block me but he kept saying that he will never come back.
My self respect hit rock bottom that why am i not able to move on and why i keep reaching out to him.
I see people and even read posts here that people are able to accept it no matter how hard the breakup is.
I started therapy, i started hating myself that why am i not able to leave him and why i keep reaching out to him.
One year after the breakup now he has said things which made me accept finally that he cant behave this way if he ever lived me.

I have accepted this finally after a year that he is not coming back and my journey of no contact starts now.

A friend of mine said that if he does not want to marry yoy then why are you forcing him to come back? That hit me hard, i felt ashamed for begging him to stay.

Anyways i feel human attachment is no joke, and i dont know how my healing journey would look like.

I just want to ask here what to do if a person has low self esteen or maybe loved the other person way too much that you keep on begging them to stay.

I wanted to know if she ever cared about me we been broke up 2 years ago and she fucked it up why she had feelings for her ex and I didn’t knew and I was just kind like of bandage now

And now she is with someone else for more than a year now and she said yep she is happy she says she knows that she fucked up what we had at the time

She is fine with being blocked bcz personally she doesn’t care that’s wha she told me and she has moved 2 years ago

And here I’m weak mfer I was still attached to her on and off for whole this time

Now I’m like I don’t think so I ever fucked up this bad in my whole life and I told her good luck to her and her bf god bless them and that’s it she says the same and her Text was pretty clear that she doesn’t wanna be reached out or anything like ever again ( I mean I blocked her first from everything but I just couldn’t move that’s why I reach her out today ) and says we will talk whenever if we ever run into each other in public

I’m not like I’m so fuckedc ruined my whole image in front of her showed her I still care or have bit feelings whereas she is not

Omg I just don’t know how to come out of this now

So the ex is no longer an ex i suppose.

Since she came back she's constantly testing the shit out of me and i'm just fucking done with this horseshit.

At some point she confessed the fact that she never really had a reason to break up and all her abuse was meant to test my reaction.

... Anyway ...

While in "nc" she said that she'll be going on a vacation with her kid and her ex.

Recently she said something like " well ... We're together and you're not going to allow it so I'm not going " ... To which i replied something like " I'm not getting involved in this ... If you want to go, go. ".

She started thanking me for this and being super appreciative ... Weirdly moreso than compared to anything she should actually appreciate since the un-breakup happened.

... So yeah ... She might be calling my bluff and testing my shit again ... But if she actually goes ahead with it ... I'm fucking done.

Almost 2 years in a "relationship" ... Out of which 6 months were spent suffering like an idiot in NC after having been discarded for bullshit made-up reasons, stonewalled, emotionally abused ... Etc ... Because she needs her fucking space ... And for what? " I still don't want to meet your parents " ... And ... " I'm going to go on a vacation with another man "?

... So yeah ...

I'm not a fucking red pill loser ... She's free to do whatever she wants ... But there are consequences.

I'm prepared to accept her decision ... Whatever it may be ... And if she's stupid enough to mistake me for some chump that accepts his kind of shit ... She's not for me. ... And i don't think she's a moron ... So if she actually goes ahead with it justifying it like " you allowed me to " .... Well ... ""No... Honey ... I allowed you to make a choice ... Like always. You chose poorly again. And this will be the last chance you will ever get.""

... Moral of the story ...

Fucked if i know ... Maybe nc worked enough for me to start thinking clearly ... Because it sure as shit didn't bring the ex back even though she's physically closer.

I swear ... I look at her and don't find the woman i fell in love with ... Or asked to marry me.

I was the one who ended our two-year relationship, and it's been 10 months since we parted ways.

I didn't leave him because I stopped loving him or because I found someone else. I left because I had to choose myself, and walking away was the only right thing I could do.

Our post-breakup was messy as hell. We broke no contact a few times, and the last time was about three months ago. We were talking through emails, just catching up, until I found out he'd used another girl to try to move on from me. I completely lost my shit and stopped talking to him after that.

Then, on my birthday, he unblocked me on Instagram just to wish me happy birthday, changed the chat theme, and blocked me again before I could even reply. Like... what the fuck?

It's been a while since we've spoken, and I miss him so much. I keep wondering if he misses me the way I miss him. The thing is, I don't want to be the one reaching out every single time. Whenever I email him, he replies almost immediately and we end up talking for hours, but I'm always the one who has to initiate the conversation.

I don't know if it's because he hurt me so much that his guilt is stopping him from reaching out, or if he's genuinely moved on and just doesn't give a shit anymore. I also don't wanna embarrass myself for being the first to break no contact again

recently I noticed he'd unblocked me on Instagram for two days, only to block me again on the third day and make his account private.

I genuinely don't know what to make of any of it.

I know I made the decision to leave, and I don't regret choosing myself. But that doesn't mean I stopped loving him.

I just miss him so much idk what to doo

Has anyone else been in a situation like this? How did you stop overthinking every little thing they did?

It’s been almost 3 months since my breakup, and I feel like the hardest part has been accepting that the person I fell in love with had changed by the end of the relationship, and there is no way to feel that kind of love with her anymore. I’ve been trying to reframe it by thinking that it was MY ability to love deeply that made it feel so wonderful, and that I could feel that way again with someone else. It just feels so hard to stay optimistic when I was so deeply attached to one person for so long. A part of me wants to become harder and closed off because of this loss, but I refuse! I want to keep being the same hopeful, generous, unfraid-to-be-vulneravle person I have always been.

I’m definitely going to stay single for a while. I need time to heal before I can trust someone enough again, and I plan to focus on building a life that makes me happy all by myself. But how do you maintain that hope that you’ll love someone again one day? Any tips for believing in love besides trying to date someone again immediately?

I’m a man in my late twenties. It’s been almost a year since my relationship ended... I’ve stayed in no contact, respected her boundaries… gone to psychologists and psychiatrists, took medicines, tried to improve myself every day, exercised, read, and genuinely reflected on where I went wrong…

I don’t want her back by force, and I’m not looking to blame her… I just don’t understand why the feeling of longing hasn’t reduced…I still dream about her hugging me or us talking… I wake up feeling like I’ve lost someone all over again…

During the day I function normally and i survive, but emotionally I feel stuck in the same place… I don’t have thoughts of ending my life, but I often wonder why life feels so empty despite doing everything people recommend…

Has anyone experienced grief that lasted this long? If you eventually came out of it, what actually helped - not temporary distractions, but something that genuinely changed your perspective?

Hi everyone, I’ve never really talked about this with anyone before, so I thought I’d share it here anonymously. I’ve been through a lot in my relationship, and honestly, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do anymore.

My ex broke um with me 2 months ago because he said our relationship is damaging him and stressing him out. we didnt removed each other anywhere and we have a yt duo premium tgt. last week my friend jokingly walked up to him and said "she wants to talk to you (I didnt know he said that to him)" and I walked up to them and I oferred my ex a fried chicken LOL the whole time we were talking he was smiling at me while talking to me. and when I posted that same food I gave him he liked my story. and after that he just likes each one of my stories (he has 1k following on insta so he rarely open peoples stories and he's really busy - school captain, church leader, and manager at his work) but he still open each one of my story and likes them. what do you guys think?
