I Went Through A Break Up That Changed My Life [Painful Breakups]

It’s been six months since my fiancé sat me down and decided he was going to move out. I didn’t know how unhappy he was. I gave him the ring back. We tried again but it didn’t work. I did therapy, tried dating ect. I am still so lonely. Still missing what could have been. Night times are the worst. I have tried many things: therapy, exercise, being with friends ect bur nothing lasts. When I am alone and not busy, I cry. I don’t force myself. It just happens. I’m 28, have a great job, am a college student and have supportive friends and family. So why am I still broken? He said he wasn’t happy for over a year. And I honestly true to god had no idea. I did everything. I quit smoking, didn’t drink (he didn’t like it), cooked, cleaned, looked after him. He was my king. But he fell out of love. Why isn’t time healing my pain? Can anybody shed some light on how long this pain lasts?

As long as it lasts

I noticed you gave up a lot rather than being yourself. Try to be yourself and maybe it'll heal.

Time will but it takes longer than six months.
Also seems it was a relationship you invested a lot in, like giving up things you liked just to please him.
Too much give not enough take from you.

@MrAverage1965 I agree with this a lot

You deserve better person. You are caring person you just need to take care of yourself more and try to have fun with your self until you find the right one. I wish you very good luck 🙂

Maybe because he was getting sex, he felt that he did not need to make a marriage commitment. Some people, male and female are like that. Why buy a cow when you can get the milk for free.

@bigjohndl sex died after a year (I always wanted it) then when we broke up he wanted to have sex all the time. Was weird

Stop looking outside yourself for happiness. Find things to do that you care about.

@hunkalove I have. I honestly have. It’s not even that I want him back, it’s that I am shattered that he probably never loved me. The lies... I could never lead someone on for two years

Forever, probably, if it was any good. But it gets less and less as time goes on. It just takes a lot of time. 6 months isn't enough. More like 2 years. Though, women tend to get over such things faster.

In the meantime, there are other ways to assuage pain. And someone else might be able to help you heal a bit faster. Only another person can heal wounds of the heart, maybe.

I am a woman and I don’t get over things faster- ever. I feel like men do. Guess irs up to the individual really.@Tatsumi
Tatsumi · 31-35, M
@twentysomething8 It does depend on the individual, but there's still a general theme. Trust me, men take it harder. But I meant being broken up with by someone they loved. Not breaking up with someone they didn't love.

But, probably off topic.

You'll be okay. Even if it doesn't feel like it, right now.

@twentysomething8 I have no idea sweetie...I wish i was good at it. I know it is true ..I know i need to somehow get to that place also...I am still working on how to get there.

I understand exactly.how you feel. I too am dealing with something similar and some days I just want to give up on myself.
wintersecret · 41-45, M
@JaggedLittlePill @twentysomething8 Jagged has a point. I agree on it.

If u arent u.. then u are nothing...

@twentysomething8 Love Ownself is a word dear which people use to express the self.

its not easy to explain but just like u love ur Man and followed what he liked and did what he liked.

Now, you need to follow what u liked for urself, do what u wish to do for ownself. and u will start loving urself.

As long as you sit lonely and cry will last forever
So try and be happy and forget him thts the best things you can do
Scarfface · 46-50, M
I can only say that time will heal, I think you will be OK
Find someone else to have a good time with in the meantime.

Because he made you feel at fault. If he was unhappy for over a year and never once tried to discuss his unhappiness with you then the issue was his. There is and was nothing wrong with you. You can and will eventually move on. Allow yourself to grieve what you thought you had and there is no time limit for grief ...but soon enough you will need to start reminding yourself that if he wanted it to work he had the capability to do so.
