Totally unreasonable to put this in Aibu but...

Bit of backstory- I split from H a couple of months ago, agreed to try again a week or so ago and then yesterday I had that blow up in my face spectacularly.

I left the family home in tears yesterday with my DC with just an overnight bag at tea time. I was so upset and was physically shaking so I pulled into a retail park, not too far from where I live, and I cried like a baby (not my proudest parenting moment).

Back to the point of the thread now, a truly lovely gentleman came over to ask how I was, I couldn't even get a word out. He left and a few minutes later he was back with a coffee for me and sandwiches for my kids.
He told me 'it will get better'. I managed to thank him and him and he was gone.

He will probably not read this but I want to say thank you once again. You showed me not all men are like H.

How lovely, it’s so wonderful when strangers come through for you and help restore your faith in humanity.

Sorry you’re having such a difficult time OP. I promise it won’t last forever.

@Miniloso @Sparklesocks thank you.

In a strange way he made me feel like I deserve more, I deserve to be happy. I don't know if that makes sense.

You absolutely do! And now you can begin the process of finding your happiness again

When I went through a terrible breakup recently and was sobbing in Pret, they gave me a free coffee and asked if I was ok. It helped me so much, this small kind gesture. Sometimes it makes all the difference and indeed, does make you feel worthwhile and kind of loved.

@Miniloso I'm sorry you have been through a terrible breakup. How are you now?

@Sparklesocks I've not been happy in a long time. And I can't believe I let things get to this point.

I actually had therapy, CBT, for 10 months. It helped me so much. I’m good now thanks, and feel much stronger. Things do get better eventually. Have you got support? Where did you go?

Awww how lovely! I hope you're ok Op xx

@Miniloso I have family who have always been amazing. Another thing H couldn't stand.

@wokingpizzaexpress I didn't sleep all night. I had a really hard time stopping myself from contacting him. Nothing I say would make a difference to his behaviour, so I don't know why I felt the need to contact him.
