I have surgery today and was hoping he would reach out? Absolutely nothing :( he left me 8 weeks ago but thought he might ‘care’
guess not

broken my heart
:(

my long term partner left me 8’weeks ago after 4 years together and I’m suffering from depression
i also have additional needs

why couldn’t he care? Why couldn’t he just reach out :(

I'm sorry to hear this but not surprised.
He's always been horrible to you.
I hope you recover from the surgery soon.

Mate. He doesn’t care.
go to your GP and ask for any counselling or therapy that may be available for you. You need real life support not mumsnet.
good luck with surgery and recovery

If this is all real, you need help.

If it isn't all real, you need help.

Seriously? You again? Is this your ninth or tenth thread about this situation?

You need professional help OP. Many posters have advised this. Have you seen anyone?

What would you have got out of him reaching out? He's ended things and you have taken it badly, why would he contact you and risk making it worse?

That's what being an ex means. He is out of your life now.

I'm sorry it hurts you and I hope your surgery goes well
