To break up with him so close to Christmas?

[Patchworkquilt24]

I'm in a really unhappy relationship. I don't want to be in it anymore. It's going absolutely nowhere and I want a different life to this. Would it just be completely horrible to break up with him 10 days before Christmas? I know it's awful timing.

I just feel like giving up tbh. I'm so so unhappy. He's so angry with me.
It's Christmas and everyone else is happy and listening to Christmas songs and feeling festive and I couldn't care less I just want it all to be over.

I really just want to hide in my room on my bed and wake up and for everything to be okay again.

People who get angry when you tell them no are not safe for you to be around. Nor should you be listening to him. He needs to vent his feelings to his friends, not his ex partner.
The separation pain is going to hurt you both for a while. That is unavoidable. The feeling that everyone is happy except you is a lie your separation pain is telling you. I am so sorry. I would hug you if I could.

it will get easier honestly. You are allowed to be upset. He is allowed to be upset, but I'm a bit wtf that he is angry with you. You have acted with honesty and integrity.

I really hope it does because I feel in such unbearable pain. I guess it's worse that it's Christmas and all that seems to be surrounding me is families and couples and people being so happy and together and I'm just so so unbelievably lonely. Perhaps I've made a mistake.

Why did you end it? Write a list to remind yourself here.

I've been messaging him tonight as well because I'm so lonely. Why, why did I do that.

This from your op @Patchworkquilt24:

I'm in a really unhappy relationship

You made the hard decision for good reason

You will never be happy in this relationship and clinging onto it will prevent you from finding the person you will be happy with.

Deep breath, follow through on this, have faith.

Messaging him is cruel, stop it.

@MzHz I'm not being cruel, he messaged me first. It might be more cruel to ignore him. Plus it was about time limited things that we need to sort out.

Ah ok, but be mindful of the fact that you’re exiting this relationship for good reason

Dont put up with any bullshit or anger. Call him out on it.

He’s only angry because he’s lost face and his ‘domestic appliance’ i.e. you. Now he has no sex and has to do everything for himself.

Start to plan nice things yo fo in the new year and limit your contact with him to only what needs sorting out on a practical level.

You can bet that when he finds another resource, you wont hear from him again.

I saw him today for the first time since breaking up (we had to meet for a time sensitive matter - it could not be avoided otherwise I definitely wouldn't have seen him!!!) and tbh it reminded me of all the reasons why I broke up with him.

Ah, that’s good OP. So it confirmed your feelings in the fact that you’d made the right decision. Good luck in the future.
