I lost my relationship of 6 years yesterday. Sending my love to everyone else going through the same thing. We will get through it and come out of the other side stronger. One love❤️
(Edit): Thank you so much for everyone's care. For anyone asking, I'm much better; I was denied the closure I wanted but life isn't perfect. Still wishing everyone the best that is going through something, people love you more than you think and you'll make it to a better place :)

I've had 3 bad break ups in my life, they progressively got easier, I've learnt to separate the fantasy of that person attached to me and the actual reality of that person, i cant control them. My therapy is self improvement.

[defacto]

It means a lot to read all these comments, it makes me realize that im not alone.

[Marvin-fzpu]

"We both lost something. You lost me and I lost time" - This is the one thing that keeps me going after the end of a 3 year relationship. It;s been 11 months now and I am still healing.

[blase]

Breakups used to bother me; then I realized, why would I want to be with someone that didn’t want to be with me. Now, I view it as an opportunity.

[nicholasferrara]

It’s hard to suddenly stop talking to someone, especially if you talked to them every day. Another hurtful thing is when you not only lose them, you lose their friends who had become your friends and not seeing their family again.

[jwebbfs_ak]

I’m convinced heartbreak is the worst pain you can experience. Similar to grief for sure. I was depressed for 2 and a half years, every moment of every single day when I was awake thinking of them and feeling like I wanted to die. Never thought it could ever get better. It’s been 12 years now and I still think about her, but it took two and a half years for me to finally wake up one morning and she wasn’t the first thing I thought of, and I could enjoy other things in life going on. It’s incredibly painful and difficult, but it will get better. You just have to diligently suffer through the hell, there is light at the end of the tunnel even if you can’t see it yet.

Just remember, the right one..Won't leave .

[brandoncarter]

I did something the other day that really helped my anxiety with a potential relationship that wasn’t working out. I sat in my room, alone, and said out loud “Can you control how the other person feels? No, so don’t worry about it. You know this person is not right for you. Quit letting them control your emotions. You are so much more than one potential relationship.”

[pecansandies]

They lost someone who loved them. I didn't. That quote has kept me going for 8 months after a 6 year relationship from 18-25

[miguelcrv]

I lost my girl yesterday. We didn't get along we loved each other hard, but couldn't get along we had so much love and so many highs but the lows where insane. Constant comparisons, constant complaining, constant apologizing, then bottled up frustration and anger on my end. It's sad, I lost my best friend, but I lost my worst enemy. Idk how to feel.

[xXxLynxxXx]

Two weeks ago I was taken out on a walk to get dumped. Almost 3 years with a girl I thouht I will spend my life with. I was't perfect but did my best and was next to her in difficult times, however 2 weeks ago I was hit with the "there are no more feelengs". I was bewildered, and not only that, I was told there is no option to talk and try to fix the issues. Was said it wasn't my fault and we can do nothing. After those two weeks i contacted her and she said she is happy... now for me it is time to burn the bridge.
It is so hard, it is difficult especially as I started working at a new place and now I feel lonely and hurt, I cannot focus and I am afraid.
Beg of you to pray for me.

I just lost my 4 year relationship today at 5:37pm. I don’t know how to feel, my mind is racing and I can not sleep. I hope whoever is going through this keep your head up.

[LeNguyen-fkxl]

gf of 8 years left me because she suddenly decided starting a family wasnt in the cards for her. I literally felt as though I was mourning the death of a loved one and in a way I did. I mourned the person I thought she was and the person I thought was the one for me. Hang tight and stay strong fellas. Get out and make as many friends as possible.

[Dpgrn]

For me the worst part is the denial stage. I don’t know if anyone feels the same but I broke up 2 days ago and I can’t fully accept it, it feels like we’re just having an argument and she’ll come back to me.

[hannahborski]

Hardest part of any breakup is thinking about the memories. What is difficult is that people change over time and something that helps me get through breakups is “People are not the sum of our memories with them, but who they are in the present moment.”

[HunnyBee]

DO NOT get into another relationship in order to prevent yourself from mourning the last one. Feel the grief. Mourn your loss. Get yourself up and running as a single person and THEN you can start looking. Especially if you are a codependent person.

[WISEGUYSOCIETY]

For anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by their current circumstances, this message is dedicated to you. Tough times never last, but tough people do. You've got this. Keep fighting and don't give up. 🙏🏼🤲

[nismoz]

[Lisanosik]

I’ve got cheated last month, this relationship lasted 7 years. I hope you won’t face this situation, it’s almost impossible to forget about it. Giving strength, love and hope to everyone else going through this kind of torture. I love you all ❤
