Thread for the heartbroken

Well! I'm here. Long story I'm sorryI met someone in April we hit it off instantly spent everyday together. Enjoyed our time we said we were jus going to be friends and hang out the other person started to catch feelings and want more. I was open to it but I needed to clear something's before I committed and he understood. We continued to hang and the thing was we enjoyed each other in the physical but when we were apart we would fight due to his insecurities.

He was with this woman for 5 yrs they were supposed to get married this ur around this time but they broke it off last August and he moved back to NJ in March and we met in April.

I compromised a lot for this person, mistake one!

He never admitted his wrongs the fights were ways my fault even when it was him.

My birthday was July 16 prior to my birthday we stopped speaking for 2 weeks

For my birthday he came to my house and left flowers on my porch didn't even give them to me I caught him while he was pulling out my driveway I called asking for him to come back he said no he had to go back to work. Which is shyt because he works for himself.

So that night thinking we were in a good place I invited him out. He declined and said he hoped I enjoyed my night. I found out her was in a fender bender ok cool

Two days later he texts me all this stuff about how we were just two friends hanging out it was nothing more. It was cool sometimes but he never had feelings for me.

He made me feel like I Was crazy he said I was living in a fantasy world because I'm like yo I now u asked to be together! Wtf! So now ur just going to deny everything. He also said the flowers meant nothing it was my birthday and he thought it would be weird to send a text to say happy bday so he got the flowers since I've done nice things for him previously.

Which makes no sense because he had to go out of his way to come to my house because he lives about 30 mins away. Then to pick out flowers! Then he was like, I was in the area! So coincidently u were in the area on my bday with flowers! He also said he never liked me saying he likes someone is like the L word for him yet his own family has told me that he has said he really liked me and how happy he has been since we met.

I figured because of the ex he was trying to negate his feelings deep down I knew, but I got confirmation that he is indeed speaking to the ex again and is going to move back down south.

I really liked this person and I feel like such a fool, allowing myself to fall for this person that tried to negate me as if I was nothing.

I know good things won't come to him and karma will get him.

It just sucks because it took me three yes to find someone after focusing on school and being busy and picky.

I have an intuition that when things go sour with the ex gf he's going to remember how good I was despite the stupid arguments.

He's a Sagittarius BTW, intend to always attract this sign. They always talk about sags being honest, but in this case he totally lied about his feelings and I had no evidence to shot him out because I deleted our texts!

Unfortunately you were the rebound. Men don't always deal with breakups by processing the feelings alone like women. They tend to hook up with someone to make them forget the pain and the hurt. He still loved that woman. It is not a thing against you. Right woman wrong time. It happened to my family member and his rebound. She was a good woman but he still loved his ex. He is back with her again.
 
We have known each other for 8 years this October and dating for about 3 this year. Yesterday we decided to end it because he doesn't think he sees engagement in the near future (3-6 months) . The timing of the topic might have caught him by surprise but the topic itself was something we both knew was going to need to happen. I was going to wait until after his birthday, which is in a month, but figure why wait?

I feel a bit of everything. I was there during his lowest of lows. I mean really super low. Nothing was wrong relationship wise. I was just increasingly wanting to move forward as time passed and needed to know if we were on the same page.

Part of me wonders if I should've just been quiet and waited until the end of the year. Not sure what difference that would have made. I just know what the dating prospects are looking like and it's not promising. So now I'll be solo. This is going to suck. I know it is. 8 years of knowing someone in that way seems long.

He kept saying idk and it's a hard decision. But I can't work with idks. I feel like we would have kept coasting along until who knows when. His uncle who I've only met twice was asking about when we were getting married. I don't feel pressured, it something I want for myself but he doesn't.

Feels like it was all for nothing right now.

It wouldn't have.

I know it hurts but I think you did the right thing. 3 years in a relationship and 8 years of knowing each other was more than enough time for him to have figured out if he saw a future with you. "I don't know" is not an acceptable answer to that question.

thanks :)

You're right. It sucks but it's the truth.
I agree with @MzLady78 , most guys know what they want the first 6 month to a year in relationship. He made you insecure with the idk's and No man who loves their woman should ever, ever give them a reason to feel that way. He was stalling for time and worse- stalling on YOUR time. You did the right thing but I know its painful since you didn't necessarily plan to break up with him and you're still emotionally tied to him. I really wish for the best for you and your healing.

Thank you. :) So much time and energy lost. In so many words he basically hit me with the I love you but not in love with you. How do you go from being ready to make that move in March but months later it's idk. Swear guys think you're the sun, moon and stars when life is in shambles but when the future isn't so bleak it's "hmm idk".

He was definitely stalling.
 
So. The Wednesday night before I left for vacation, he showed up at my house. Blew my mind, we hadn't seen each other since December 2013. We talked about what happened between us, he kept saying he missed me and apologized for hurting me and said he still loves me. It was...interesting, especially since it wasn't like he was trying to rekindle things. I guess he just wanted to get some things off his chest.

I do still love him, and seeing him again brought back so many memories, but letting each other go was the right thing to do. I'm sure of that. So I'll just continue to move forward.
 
@MzLady78 I love experiences like that. In the end both of you can appreciate the good times, learn from the bad times, and move on in a new direction.

Even though I'd already created my own sense of closure, it was nice to be able to talk. I still think he handled a lot of things poorly, but it helped me let go of some of the resentment I was feeling.

I have finally come to a healthy place about my healed heart. We loved each other but loved each other wrong. No matter how much I tried to make it work, it would have never worked. We weren't meant to be in each other's lives for a lifetime. I will meet the man that was meant for me. A nurturing soul that will help me realize why it never worked.

:yep:

I feel the same way about my situation. We were not gonna live happily ever after and deep down not only did I know it, I knew it pretty early.

I saw a post on FB that said "some things are meant to happen, they're just not meant to be". I think for me, the big take away was to stop settling with people who can't/won't give me the type of relationship I want/deserve. I've done it multiple times, clearly not learning my lesson and now here I am. Still trying to fall out of love with someone who hasn't really been a part of my life in over a year.

I'm glad you're in a better place, and I truly hope you find that nurturing soul.

I just wanted to say that i hate social media and the attention whores who use it with no consideration of their spouses. My 6 year relationship ended this week because he couldn't stop his urges of trying to get with every attractive girl on instagram. 6 years down the drain over social media. It angers me that he could be so childish
 
imma tell you something....you will be fine..and i am wishing you all the best--attention seems to be a drug now-adays

social media has effected this world in such a horrible way im disgusted....btwn the men on there getting attention from all types of women and vice versa its insane......dh and i are not on social media....as petty as it may sound i would not want to date or be with a man on social media....

and your right it is childish..why the fluck are you on something like that all the time....like is it making you money no!! is it benefiting your family no!! so why are you spending hours on social media...ppl in relationships need to get back to the love and attention to the relationship..it actually bothers me when i see a man and woman/couple sitting at a dinner table on their phone....anyhooo i digress


truly wishing you the best... a man cheating with IG thots does not deserve you or any good woman...he need to get his priorities straight.

This here is the TRUTH. Me and a guy I was dating broke things off (after 8 months) because it came down to, "I'm ready to commit, but you're not the one who I want to commit to. She is."

God! The hurt I felt after we got off the phone from that conversation! I still kind of hurt because it makes me feel like I'm not enough. But I KNOW that I'm enough and deserve better.

Regardless, I hope it works out for him. I have faith in God that it's going to work out for me too.

That dude is complete dyck, glad he didn't waste your time any further than he already has. These dudes are so busy jumping into relationship after relationship they don't take the time to heal and resolve their feelings about their past relationships and then bring that ish into the new ones. No one deserves to feel like 2nd best and I wish some of these selfish arse men realize that; then they quick to call a chick crazy when they don't want to be responsible for the hurt they caused.:rolleyes: You are very special and like a GPS, the right man is going to see it and put his sights on you.
