Grieving from a Particularly Rough Break Up
I'm slowly moving on from a relationship, but it really hurts to know how it ended. I still want my ex to come back, but I have to be honest with myself that I am never going to see her again.
She has multiple mental illnesses and broke up with me citing her inability to handle her mental illness out of the blue less than a day after telling me how she saw me in the future. She broke up with me in a text, which normally would be a cruddy thing to do, but I know it has to do with her emotional health than anything else.
I just feel like I am grieving the person I am losing to their mental illnesses and the relationship. She doesn't want to keep in contact after mentioning wanting to be friends. Given the circumstances and who she is as a person, I thought she was serious about it. I love her unconditionally and would have put aside my feelings to be there as a friend, even if it meant we would never be a couple.
I am just confused and sad.
