I ended my relationship of 6 years about 3 months ago bc he said he might regret not having kids later down the line. we were always on the fence but I’m leaning towards no. It hurts so much having to walk away from an otherwise perfect relationship. Wish this was easier…

Sorry you’re going through this! What’s helped you the last few months? Also I’m curious to hear more from your perspective as the dumper- was it one big bad convo or did you feel for awhile it was going to end?

I was checked out for awhile and felt like we were just… friends. I was missing that “spark”. It started out with me saying I was unhappy and wondered if this is “it” for our life - surely there must be more. Maybe it was the pandemic and being stuck in an apt with someone for the last 2-3 years. I cried a lot and didn’t intend to break up with him, but at that point, cat was out of the bag. After the breakup, I wasn’t thinking much about him for the last 3 months but all the sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks and I’m having a lot of dumpers remorse and realized most of the unhappiness probably stemmed from me and less about him. Selfishly speaking, what helped me after the breakup was distracting myself with someone else (which has since ended). I’ve also been increasing my therapy sessions and I’m on lexapro. It’s tough 😭

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
