The best thing we can do is not engage. She’s not in a particularly stable state of mind at the moment and is misconstruing our remarks, and so Im concerned we might inadvertently make things worse.

I don't talk to Debbie anymore as she is depressed she can't handle it I do care I speak to my mum but mainly its her that dose the talking, I did her a few times how, I'm struggling I cried down the phone she told me not to cry, she says keep busy, I don't work or cook meals I go to the gym social club, I hate myself for talking to my ex about my feelings I had alot to say. I was

trying to sort the marriage out it really hurt when he suddenly didn't love me, I appreciate oversharing can strain relationships I was talking about my trauma to my husband as he kept wondering why I was struggling, I kept having to explain to him why I felt angry, wish hurt q I really didn't mean to over share my feelings, I can see how it was a problem in my marriage he upset set me alot withe eye rolling I said I wanted to told his hand but didn't he rolled his eyes I would disuse my feelings alot as I was trying to sort out our relationship, he said his feelings alot too that he didn't have romantic feelings for me I would cry he got annoyed

I didnt mean to go on I had a lot of feelings as he was my first love I wanted the love back I said I just wanted to be loved he said cruelly me me me it was a two way conversation he said his feelings alot too as we were having discussions about our relationship it wasn't just all me saying my feelings to him he said stuff too I had alot to say I'm devastating traumatised by the end of Mty marriage I tried so hard to make it work I bought him presents cooked him dinners talked to him about his feelings troubles
I'm not being aggressive but I don't have to like the term trauma dumping that's all I said he talked about his feelings to alot it wasn't just me he just said I was going on as I had alot to say he never tried to stop me from talking he should have said I tried found it hard to stop talking to him as I was very upset

Edited

Can't you see that you completely dismissed his feelings because you wanted him to feel something for you that he doesn't. He was telling you loud and clear that your relationship was over and you just kept at him, thats not healthy.
Even now over a year afterwards you are still badgering him and going on about what you want and how you feel.
It really does sound as if your marriage ended because you couldn't stop talking about your feelings and going over and over and over it again. You say your angry because he just stopped loving you but it wasn't sudden it was a death of a thousand cuts, everytime you started on about your "trauma" it will have killed his live for you a little bit more.
Your friend Debbie has depression and you've stopped talking to her, what does mean have you ghosted her or have you just stopped talking about your problems? Do you ever let her talk about her feelings, do you support her at all?
The sad fact is that everyone in real life are saying the same thing as most of the posters on here but you wont listen, you need to stop talking about it and move on (yes i know easier said than done) with the right psychiatric help whether thats cbt, dbt or some other type of therapy. When everyone is telling you the same thing they are telling you the truth and you really need to listen and stop painting yourself as the victim because you aren't, you are the master of your own misery

You’ve had so much advice on this thread and the others you have started. You choose not to engage and so I’m not sure what you want here. You need to seek real life support.

I just wanted to feel better have some understanding!!! I feel traumatised by my marriage ending I've always spoken alot to him about things, that's who I am I had a lot to say as I said we were fine, then I spoke to a friend she went behind my back and said everything to someone else who told him then he said he didn't love me ,anymore then the love didn't didn't come back

we were in a tent I said I wanted the good times back he said you ruined the time in the tent he pushed me out the tent I went to jenny who called him a narc I spoke alot about things as I was every emotional over him saying he didn't love me I was off my anti depressant tablets it made me more emotional I couldn't help it I have taken advice I'm not talking to people so much and and only spoken to a councilor I don't know what else to say

You need to stop talking to your ex about your trauma from the relationship. The person who hurt you can't help you or heal you.
