Hi all,


Please let me know if someone has been in same situation and how do you come out of it.


So my very long term relationship ended because families of both parents were not ready to accept.

We had to seperate. We were best friends for 4 years and then got into a relationship. I usually do not open up with people easily but with my bf I was very comfortable( also coz we were friends). That was the only relationship I ever had.  Moving on has been very difficult so far.

It happened with me before my marriage.. That was the toughest time of my life.. We can't do anything.. I spent my time by listening to spiritual songs, videos, comedy shows.. Sometimes allowed myself to cry during nights to feel relaxed.. You will have to give yourself time.. That's the only way to handle this..
Don't go in wrong direction like having alcohol, sleeping pills, bcz these things make impact on your life permanently..
May God heal you soon

I feel like crying almost all day. Sometimes tears start coming even when I am in office or at some public place without me knowing it. I have such fond memories that I am not able to let go of. I try and distract myself as much as I can. But anything I do reminds me of what I have lost.

I do have some friends, but they are busy with their own lives and seem non - interested in listening. Some others just shrug off saying I am being too dramatic.


Anything that I have tried so far hasn't worked for me. I feel like moving to a different city or a different country but I am unable to switch company given my mental state. I simply cannot study.

I try and remain calm in the morning but as the day ends my anxiety shoots up.

Sometimes I feel suffocated and pain in my chest.


All the things that people generally do for distracting themselves work in reverse for me as we did those things together while pursuing our hobbies. What's even more difficult is I can't find a reason or motivation to move on....because he was always nice to me.


Accepting this change in my life has been very very difficult. I cannot simply erase last 8 years of my life. I have lost my biggest support system.

There's a big void in my life that would never be filled. 

I have zero hopes left and I am not sure what to do.

I don't want to get into any other relationship or date and spoil someone else's life.

Please don't ask why families didn't agree on marriage. Convincing them is out of question. They have simply said it's all in your mind and you'll forget everything in sometime.

Good, don't destroy other good men's life .

I don't understand if bond between two person is strong why you both can't take it forward? Parents will eventually agree later that's how generally happens. You have to spend your life with your partner, not parents, that's how our society is. If your parents don't value your happiness I really don't know why you are making this sacrifice. How about your partner, has he moved on or suffering like you

The major mistake with people is that you should have seen it coming. If you knew your parents would do this, you should not have let this go so far. Now regret will not help.

Hi! How are you feeling now? Are you better?? I am going through something similar, please let me know if it gets better. I’m having a tough time dealing with this.

Wow!! Thank you so much! ♥️🫂

My uncle I met a week ago suddenly died. He hid his heart condition from his wife, my aunt. He was having tea in the morning when he had a stroke. She did not have a last word or consider the possibility that he’d pass away so suddenly and soon. She is beating herself up over how he left and they didn’t have a chance to talk that morning. Fishes, sharing this so you call your loved ones today and not take people for granted.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
