My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday in between WebEx meetings. Topline summary: originally wanted kids, marriage, but now doesn't. Trying to focus at work but it's kinda hard. Also have to figure out how or if I move myself and my dogs out. To top it all off, billables are down.

What kind of savage decides to break up with their live-in SO in the middle of the week, during work hours??

I’m sorry you’re going through this! I went through it a couple weeks ago so I feel your pain. Can you take a day away from work?

And also… did he break up with you during the workday?? I wouldn’t be able to focus either!

I’m sorry this happened to you. Hope you find someone better who wants the same things as you.

I’m sorry, I know the feeling of when an ex suddenly leaves due to changing of his mind. It blows—but know that there’s someone out there. Someone who’s a much better fit and would never imagine leaving you. You got this and your dog. Sending positive vibes your way. ❤️

He’s an ass for doing it like this.

Count yourself lucky he broke up before he gave you the marriage and kids he doesn’t want. It’s gonna be rough the next few days/weeks but know that you’re better off in the long run. This too shall pass.
