Just got dumped

[DeflatedGinDrinker]

I love reading AIBU it is my go to place. My partner of 7 years just dumped me. I thought he was suffering with a bit of depression as he changed and has been distant for awhile. Then he wanted to spend less time with me, then a few days ago said he wanted time apart, now today he dumped me. I think maybe he's seeing someone else. AIBU to get tipsy (drunk) tonight then spend lots of me time loosing weight and living my best life?
No kids together but we each have kids of our own (my 2 are teens now). How did you guys cope? I'm going to be alone forever. Anyone meet 'the one' later in life?

Aw that’s shit, lovely. YANBU at all!
Living your best life is the only thing to do. After lots of wine & chocolate

(Or gin, of course! Just noticed username )

Thank you @villanellesOrangeCoat. I name changed it's what I'm drinking now. Hoping it takes the edge of how crap I feel. I know I'll be OK it's just hard.

I'd do the same, drink up then live your best life

A similar thing happened to me, except someone tipped me off there was definitely someone else and I got the chance to dump him first.

It sounds like you've had this on your radar for a while, as did I. If you're anything like me, this means you'll already have been unconsciously have been processing the stages of grief and getting through it will be a lot quicker than it coming as a shock.

Enjoy the gin, remember all the crap you don't have to put up with anymore and look forward.

Yabu to pretend it is possible to live your best life while simultaneously loosing weight. They are opposing forces. I'll wager you are already drunk 🥴

And he sounds like a toss pot. Enjoy the gin!

You asked if anyone had met their loved one later in life... yes that’s me! I was late forties and now I am late sixties, so our relationship has grown over nearly twenty years. Happy to say we are still learning about each other, and I get told “I love you” and “you are so beautiful” every single day.
I was (previously) told that such a partner only existed in my fantasies. So I’m ecstatic to report that although I waited soooo very long for the kind of love I wanted to receive and give to, it is out there.
Trust in your own needs and don’t ever settle for mr/mrs good enough.
Stay strong and that’s not only to the OP, it’s to anyone that needs that handhold 🥰

drink up then live your best life

😂 my new mantra
