Left confused and really hurt
So, I’ll try and make this story brief. A while back I formed a friendship with someone who is currently married to a male. I had this amazing connection with her, which led her to exploring more with her interest in women and she developed a major crush on me during the bond we created with one another. I never had any intentions to form a romantic relationship with her but our emotional connection was amazing and it inevitably happened. She spent months pursuing me, obsessing over me, telling me she was in love with me. Her attention was overwhelming and it ultimately led me into having feelings for her. I knew the situation wasn’t ideal, but she always refused to let me go and worried so much about me ending things and cutting her off.
I was never able to hurt her, I honestly adored our bond and I ultimately wanted us to be the best of friends because we were so connected. She was the first girl I ever explored romantically with, as I’ve always been heterosexual and dated men. Everything was new and at times very confusing for me. But I cared for her so much and put the gender roles aside.
After months of spending time and talking to one another nearly every hour of the day, out of the blue two months ago she cut me off - suddenly, without warning and blocked me entirely from her life. I was in the midst of trying to navigate everything and always still wanted her to be part of my life as I was certain we would work through her overwhelming feelings for me. But we never got there.
I sit here now still grieving her. We never had a formal conversation, she gave me absolutely nothing but a brief email suggesting I do therapy to sort things out. She hung up on me in the midst of me crying trying to ask her what’s going on. It was possibly the most hurtful thing anyone has ever done to me. Traumatizing really. I miss her so much as she was a constant in my life. It’s as if she died and I was never able to say goodbye. And she’s never checked in on me again to see if I was ever still alive or how I was coping. Meanwhile I think about her all the time.
I really just need a friend or listener to help me during this healing journey. I haven’t been able to discuss it with anyone really because of the privacy of the situation.
Someone help me process this all. It’s just been so much for me to handle. I’m always sad and still confused 😔

Hello, I am so sorry about this whole situation. I can’t imagine the pain you must be in after so abruptly losing someone you were so close too. There are people here for you, and you are not alone. And your feelings are completely valid. You deserve so much better than being discarded in that way and you are worthy of finding that person. Unfortunately, what may help the most is allowing time to pass in order to let yourself heal. Be patient with yourself, this is a tough situation to deal with. Also trying to spend time with friends and doing activities you enjoy can help as well, even though this is much easier said than done.
You are not alone in this. There are so many people here for you. Take care!

I am sorry you got hurt by someone you were really close to. Don't beat up yourself for maybe doing something wrong or whatever it may be! Don't even try questioning yourself. Give yourself time to heal, healing is a gradual process but definitely you will heal up! It is a phase and it shall pass!! Doing something you love & listening to music (which I strongly recommend), doing what gives you joy will be helpful during the healing process. You are strong & You deserve better & You can do this. You are not alone!! Take care!!!
