Bad move

[onemoresmartie]

Hi everyone

My grandad died last night and me and my ex have been split for over a year but I sent him a text saying it was really hard going through this without him. I'm regretting doing this now
I feel like all my family have partners to go home to and comfort them and I have no one x I have friends but it's not the same as having a loved one to comfort you

Just feeling really lonely and vulnerable at the moment

Hey,

Really sorry to hear about your grandad. Were you close?

Can completely understand where you're coming from. Hugs x and tea x

Weren't really close but I haven't ever had a family member die and he hasn't been well for a long time so have watched him deteriorate. I guess I just want my ex to be there for me but I know he can't in the way I want him to be

I'm really sorry about your grandad.
Don't worry about the text to your ex. It's not like you sent a drunken booty call and if he's a half way decent person he'll recognise you were feeling sad and alone. It's not easy when you've got nobody to support you through tough times. Xx

Are you still upset about your ex as well then? Has that been a recent split?

We were together for a long time and he was my best friend as well we split over a year ago but we have a little boy so we are still in contact occasionally

I always think when something important happens (good or bad) we want to share it with someone close. I would be the same. It shows you are still human and your ex will have known your granddad too.

So sorry you are having to deal with this!

Yeah he did know him and asked me to let him know when the funeral is...I assume he will go but it will be so weird because he won't be there for me in the way he used to be

really sorry to hear your news. Is there a trusted friend in rl you could speak too?

Don't worry about the text. It's not as if you begged him to come back.
