Dumped after 6 years because it was too easy
Relationship Stress / by turquoiseOwl7978
Last post

...See more My boyfriend of 6.5 years has been traveling in Australia for 3 weeks and just broke up with me a few days ago because he said he “needs more time to figure out what he wants” in his professional life, our relationship, family issues, etc. He said when we are together things are “too easy” and he felt like he lost a sense of himself. One major detail is that over the last few years he became very successful and is struggling with the pressure of never needing to work again if he didn’t want to. He has lost his passion or drive. I believe he’s depressed and I’ve seen these phases before but he is adamant that he wants to be alone, wants me to move out of our shared apartment, and tell our mutual friends that we are no longer together. He also kept saying that he still loves me dearly but he knows this is the right thing to do. I am devastated, in shock, feel like I have no agency in my life. I’m also in my 30s and am terrified about telling my family and friends that I failed another relationship and of course also starting over again. I can’t eat and haven’t told many people. Looking for any kind of wise words, thank you.
