Nice man wrong time

Desluna0962 February 1st, 2021

I just broke up with my boyfriend because I felt like I couldn’t love him the same way he loves me. He is the last person I would ever want to hurt. But it’s hurting me a lot, how do you let go of someone who was part of your life for so long. Now that he’s gone all I want to do is call him but then I remind myself I’m the one who broke up with him. Was I wrong? I feel awful and can barely sleep. I just want to make myself a better person for myself and whoever loves me but he’s all I want back.

Did you see my lost above? I was in your place 16 years ago and broke of my engagement for the same reason, but then ended up marrying him anyway. I thought it would be enough marrying a “good guy” but I feel like I’ve been pretending to love him for our whole marriage and am at that point in my life where I can’t pretend any longer and am about to decide to divorce. So I think you should imagine your future together. What does that look like? How do you feel? In the end, it’s not fair to him—or you—if you don’t love him. Pretending will hurt you so much in the long run, and just imagine how much you will hurt him the longer you are together. That’s what I’m facing now.

Ironically this is what I needed thank you. I kept going back-and-forth and thinking that I would finally have a good future with somebody but like you said it would hurt to pretend for both of us. It just sucks that I have to hurt such a good person. But thank you it’s good to know that somebody is going through the same thing and I’m sorry about your marriage.

I’m glad I could help. Mine is a story I want to help others not relive :( I’ll be ok though!

Hi. I'm in the position of the guy. Heart broken. 56 yes old, she wanted to marry, we moved in together then she got anxiety issues and that was that. Tried a second time, dumped me again. Best to have a clean break if you really don't live him
