Was me breaking up with him too drastic?

...See more There was this person that I met about three years ago when I moved to my college town. I met him at my job and I found him funny and attractive, and I went up to him and expressed that I wanted to get to know him. Sometime later we started dating, but it wasn’t going very well because he was dealing with substances in some self-esteem and mental issues. It only lasted for about three months, but it was a really bad heartbreak.  We got into contact in 2024 and he wanted to be friends and see if our friendship could develop into something more again. He wanted to prove to me that he could be better this time around and he came and drove to see me for hours and help me cook and host for Friendsgiving. He also came to visit me again and when I worked, he cleaned my room and took care of my dog. Then he came to visit me one last time before I went on vacation with family for the new year.  I think he is really sweet and he asked me to officially be together December 20 24 and I thought things were going great. But it seems like when we made it official all that effort that he was showing me before we were together I went out the door. He didn’t plan any dates he didn’t take the initiative to do anything I always texted. I always called first and I always had to plan the next time we were gonna hang out or see each other. When I communicated these things, he said that he would work on it and do check-in because I didn’t like that. I wasn’t hearing from him until nighttime.  He did making an attempt to change and do those check ins, but he thought that because he didn’t have a job he couldn’t plan dates. But long story short I think overall he just wasn’t ready for a relationship in my opinion I feel like if a man at the age of 23 is looking for a relationship he should have more going for himself. He lived with his mom and it seemed like I was getting in the way. Why would someone begging for a second chance not make sure their life is together before trying again?  But honestly, I think what really where’s the last straw is disrespect. I said something playfully about his mom asking her husband to help her shave because her belly would get big from being pregnant just like Kourtney Kardashian with Scott. And because his mom was walking in and I had no idea when we were on the phone, he said “ well yeah I gotta go. Say hi to my mom.” And then abruptly hung up in my face. Then when I communicated that hanging up in my face is disrespectful and I didn’t like it. He told me I was pouting instead of apologizing, and then that just set me off. Was I wrong to break up with him?

...See more So I’ve always been depressed since forever, and had bipolar, and anxiety that’s nothing new. Recently it’s been triggered even more than before because my boyfriend broke up with me it was my first time hyperventilating and having a panic attack. We ended up back together but he told me he has lost feelings for me he doesn’t feel the same love from when we first was together. He says he still love me and even if we break up he will be there for me but he probably won’t gain those feelings back. I feel like he feels trapped but it’s my fault. I was begging him back and he knew I was suicidal. I think he’s scared if we break up I will ruin my life. I don’t want him to feel trapped. We been together for 2 years. I love him so much I can’t think of a life without eachother and I don’t want to think of a life without eachother. But I don’t want him unhappy bc soon he will just lose the rest of his feeling and there’s nothing I can do about it. I really want to be with him but Ik I should let him go. I don’t know how to deal with these suicidal thoughts. I really have no one. No one to rely on any more, talk to or anything. I feel so hopeless it’s to the point all I do is cry I don’t even wanna get outta bed. I feel like I have no future. I just want all this to stop it feels like I’m being hit everyday/week with more bad news. My life is falling apart. I don’t think I have the strength this time to make it through.

Someone asked me What's "Love" to you

...See more Love, in its purest form, is the act of surrendering oneself completely—giving all that you are without the expectation of anything in return. It is the unwavering acceptance of imperfection as the very essence that makes each individual unique. True love does not seek to mold or change, but rather celebrates the raw, unpolished beauty of being human. Yet, love is not passive; it is courageous. It holds the strength to confront, to call out missteps, and to remind the beloved of their higher self—even if it means standing firm and delivering a wake-up call when needed. It thrives in authenticity, unafraid to express what must be said, regardless of circumstances or consequences. Love admires from afar and wishes well, no matter the distance or the changes life may bring. It remains steadfast and genuine, without conditions or boundaries. And when this selfless, authentic love is mirrored—when it is truly reciprocated—it creates a rare, almost mystical connection. In that moment, love transcends the ordinary and becomes something profoundly magical.

...See more I can't tell if I'm a bad person or if my mom is manipulating me. Over the years she has hit me for being sick, told me her health is worse than mine and I have no room to complain, and tells me all the time everyone in my life is a narcissist BUT her. She also buys me things I don't want or need and gets mad if I am not "happy enough" - I can never be enough for her and it feels awful - but I'm worried I'm really not enough and she is right. She is always borrowing money even from me, and she always says she will get a job but she hasn't had a job since I was little. She constantly tells me I remember things wrong and that feels weird - I could go on and on about all the things she has done, but every time I get upset she has some kind of reason why it's not her fault and I am just trying to manipulate her, it's like she is never to blame for anything and I can't tell if that's because it's my fault? I live a physically comfortable life, food on the table, a nice room and the space to be my own person. My issue is that everything I do my mother hates and I am doing wrong.  Recently my health has gotten worse and I was advised by a nurse to go to the ER, my mom and I got into a huge fight because "I have all those symptoms too and there is nothing wrong with me, you just have to suck it up and stop being dramatic" (My moms words obvi)  The nurse said I may have untreated diabetes and that I need help but my mom just asked to use the family car (That my grandma pays in full for) to go to the gym instead because "I don't really need it" I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK - I would like a third point of view on this

...See more I have never posted here so Hi! I don’t know where to seek support so I am trying anywhere I can. I am too embarrassed to talk to friends or family right now. 3.5 weeks ago I ended an abusive relationship. I spent years isolating myself from my supports because I knew if I told people the truth of what was going on they would suggest I end the relationship immediately. I was so manipulated into thinking I was the problem and I needed to fix everything and I kept trying and no matter what changes I enacted or anything positive I did, the abuse only unfortunately escalated over time. I didn’t want to be told to leave even though I think I knew all along that I needed to. I guess I just want someone to talk to or to hear from someone who gets it. I feel lost and every day I get even more angry just remembering the horrible things he put me through and how I continued to tolerate it. I am completely overwhelmed by all of the traumatic memories and I don’t know how to cope. I have journaled a lot but it is only helping so much. I am still not ready to talk to friends or family. I am on a wait list for a therapist as I had to uproot my life and move states away to escape the relationship. Thanks if anyone reads this. I would appreciate any kind words or words of support. I am struggling and just don’t know where to go right now.

FML. Why do I do this? (Story time)

...See more I am a sensitive guy. I don't fall for people often, but when I do I am completely magnetised to them. A recent experience became a painful reminder of why I need to change this before it literally turns me into a stone cold a**hole.  So last year I left a long term relationship due to significant differences in life aspirations, and I felt good about it - like a new chapter was beginning. Shortly after, and without meaning to, I met a girl in America during a business trip (I'm from the UK but go there a lot). This girl and I didn't start with any intentions, in fact it was a one-night stand. That night led to a couple more meet ups (walks in the park, dinner in the city etc) before I had to go back home. When I left, I decided to stay in contact with her - she was super cute, nice to spend time with, her dog LOVED me, and we clearly vibed together - so we kept talking.  Some weeks later I get a text that she's PREGNANT (I had been her only sexual partner in 6 months, so definitely mine). That was a massive curveball, and we decided it was best to get an abortion. That was immensely hard on both of us, but more so her due to the fact she had to go through with it without anyone there to support (I 100% would have gone if I could get there soon enough).  That experience definitely brought us closer together, and I booked a flight to go back to her city. I may have lied and said it was for business, but really I just wanted to see her again.  Anyway this was 2 months after the abortion, and we met again a week ago. It was great, like nothing had changed, and I stayed over at her apartment - amazing. We planned to go on dates and had a whole list of things to do before I left.  Then she had to go home to her parents for the weekend, and I waited to see her again. She would text me things like "I miss you" and "When I get back I'm locking you in my apartment" (a joke, but cute flirting) When she got back she invited me over, tired from the drive. I didn't mind, I just wanted to be with her. She fell asleep cuddling me, and I really felt like I had something real here. It was what I had hoped for. The next thing I know, she wakes up and we start to watch a new TV series we were going to binge together that night - she then tells me she doesn't feel great, gets really distant, and starts ignoring me entirely by going on her phone and not engaging with me at all.  I got anxious and confused, and then (maybe stupidly) asked her "So, are you talking to anyone else rn?" She got a little weirded out by my question and said she's not sure what she wants and that we live far away blah blah blah...  I know what that means... The feeling in the air completely changes and it's awkward, so I'm sat there distraught and trying to be calm amidst this unfamiliar discomfort with a girl who until a few hours ago was all over me. She gets upset and says "This feels to awkward and I feel like I want to cry".  I said I was sorry and hugged her because I didn't mean to make her feel like that.  She then says a little while later that she'd like to be alone tonight.  I immediately packed my stuff and left because I was about ready to break down and didn't want to face this situation. A few days later, and after going back to her parents for a few days and asking me to leave her be, I reached out to try and rekindle things. She tells me she isn't ready for a relationship, her mental health and hormones are all over the place and that this wasn't actually anything. I confronted her on how she told me all the things about missing me, wanting me. telling me "This just feels right", etc she apologised, and now I'm here in her city alone wondering wtf I did wrong.  I can't stop crying and wishing it wasn't happening. I risked a lot to come here and it's blown up in my face.  have no one in this city, and still a lot of time until I leave, so I guess I should make the most of my solo adventure even though it's not what I wanted. Moral of the story: Don't be too caring, and don't take people's words as truth, because it'll be taken for granted, and you'll be left broken.

Long distance relationship

...See more Hi, I’ve been in a long-distance relationship for almost a year. He is a great person, but lately, he’s been busy with his schedule, which I understand, so he can’t give me enough time. I have to keep reminding him to call or spend time with me, and I’m fed up with it. Our time zone has almost a 7-hour difference, and I’ve been trying to catch up with him, but I don’t feel like he’s doing the same. It seems he has his limits when it comes to loving me in the ways I want and need. I feel like this relationship is one-sided. I’m struggling with feeling unimportant and I have no idea if he truly sees how hard I’m trying.

...See more Love the relationships even the slight that we have, but I also can’t deal with y’all...  "It's really nothing at all" Everything… and Everyone… just becomes too much. I’d rather go to the woods and disappear for days, I know it’s just me pushing everything away. I just need time far from it, that's all Maybe after a sometime... I'll give you a call... ------------------------- I'm not sure why but, I just tend to feel more stressed being around people, and frustration builds up but like I don't want to be mean to others... And so, then I'd just feel like ***.. and then when I'm feeling like ***... it becomes depressing and I just want to push-away others... since I don't want to spread the negativity...  See? it just seems like I'd be happier alone.... but it doesn't help... whenever I crave a relationship.  I'm not sure whether I'm craving a relationship just because I want validation... Being ace/aro flux is hard enough but not being sure as to why your in a relationship is just really bad. (red flag right?)  I can only feel as if I'm leading my "partner" along... but with no destination...  Relationships in general just seem really... difficult... and there's so much i just can't understand... I don't know what i should even do.. to make things better... or what's even "better"?...
