I don’t want to love again
I recently posted in the breakup section about my ex dumping me after we argued about me spending time with my friends. There’s additional details in that post if anyone is curious.
I’ve found myself thinking recently that there’s no point in being in a loving relationship after this. I don’t want to be in love again and risk being hurt again. I’m too exhausted and scared to do it all over again, only for another person to throw it in my face on a whim.

Good morning, Tia,
I relate to your words one hundred percent. I’m so sorry you’re hurting. Sometimes it feels as if we have so much capacity, other times it feels like we have so much to give and all it takes is the right person to come along. My father has been a bachelor for the past fifteen years and I’m beginning to see why.
Take all the time you need to grieve, heal, and rebuild.

Hello there!!
I do understand why would you feel that way! It is hard going through a breakup, it makes you feel like all relationships are pointless. But that's not always the case, you just need time to forget, heal , and move on. You never know what the future is hiding for you! Just keep hope.
I wish you all the best.
Well said!
The important thing is that you do the hard self reflective work to make sure you don’t carry that into the next relationship. Take your time.
