I don’t feel that it makes sense to draw conclusions like “nasty” and “narcissistic” without knowing more about the situation. But I guess it’s to be expected on a forum like this.

I think a lot of the comments on this thread are based on a “transactional” view of the relationship between A and B…another view point is that there is one (or a very few) number of people who would make ideal partners for each of us…which is the spirit in which A might have made the statement to B…but who’s to say without more background?

I think knowing the context of the convo they said it in would help! Or is it something they seriously say often? The biggest question is are you happy with them?

I was tempted to respond but now I won’t engage😩

Well, many people break up for many reasons and choose others that they legitimately settle for while leaving the one that they were great with.

In that context I’m fine with this phrase. But if said out of spite na

Better is subjective. My new gf makes less money, is less rich, and brings less physical stuff to the table but I think on top of being prettier, she’s a better person. Was upset from the initial breakup but now glad it happened

When I get mean comments like this, I either ignore or just type "k" so they know I've read it lol. Depends on the person- if I know which one will drive them more crazy (because turn about is fair play lol)

That being said- if it's a barrage of texts like this, I will just block them

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

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.
