Hi op, sorry to hear that. Yes you will get through it. I did. How long where you together and why did things end?

Canthearthroughmyglasses · 24/02/2019 18:59

Sending hugs back. I ended my relationship three weeks ago tomorrow. Best thing I ever did but sometimes I do miss the odd bits of “us”. But he was a cheat, liar, into really odd porn, and a huge manipulator. So the whole relationship that lasted three years was not even real. I feel like a fool for having stayed with him so long.

dilly123 · 24/02/2019 19:20

All quite amicable really.. his job is extremely stressful, long hours & lots of travelling, I didn't ask for much was happy to see him once a week but he doesn't feel like he can have a relationship at the moment. Together under a year but have history going back several years. Feel like I've had my life on hold during those years so I know I finally need to move on if it didn't work 3rd time round it's never going too... but it hurts.

Thank you for your kind words, tomorrow is a new day.. going to get up, get dressed up & show the world I never give up! Smile

Yep! Me! Devastated.

Sharpandshineyteeth · 24/02/2019 21:09

Me too. 5 year relationship ended on Monday. He changed massively in the last two years and did some shitty things that I let slide because I didn’t want to have to have shared care of our DD.

Today I’ve been feeling ok. Yesterday I was about an 8.5 on the desperate to get back with him scale. It’s so up and down.

I am having minimal contact with ex, I’m finding this really helps. Most communication about DD is being done through his mum.

Me! My relationship ended last night. Via text. Not my call and didn't see it coming. Today has been a mixture or crying, feeling like crap, trying to look forward and be positive...now I'm just plain angry. Resisting the urge to text him, which is so hard.

Sharpandshineyteeth · 24/02/2019 21:29

It’s so hard not to contact them but it’s so worth it.

PeppyFacePoppy · 24/02/2019 21:35

My marriage is ending or so it seems. I'm part relieved and part terrified.

So sorry for you all. I feel like i might be there soon, not for any major reason, maybe its self sabotage. It hurts like hell, but life always gets better. Rainbows after the rain.

FauxJoMalaux · 25/02/2019 00:14

Hello OP and others, sorry for your situations.

A few weeks ago and the time has been spent arguing, crying, feeling brave, feeling terrified. Been together for 7.5 years and have Dc.

I’m half hoping that we can sort out but then half feeling like the end is inevitable so why put it off.

I did not really see this coming but the major contributing factor has been there from the start - but was something we could have worked out I think.

I’ve found the evenings hardest so need to find something to occupy me (apart from tidying, cleaning and other house stuff, and studies which do not seem to be holding my interest!)

Morning everyone.. start of a new week hope things get easier for you all.. didn't want to start a new week crying but started to think why am I not enough for him to think well we have some obstacles but we'll work through them because I don't want to lose her?!! So the sadness kicked in & the tears came.. nothing like a good cry in the shower you turn the water off dry your face & get on with it.. didn't want DC's to see me upset!

We left things at he'll ring me later in the week but I don't think he will.. not actually sure I want him to

Love to you all

It has been a week today for me. Getting easier, slowly.

@bombaygin

That must have been so hard for you.. very cruel of him not to reply.

Resisted the temptation to message today but my heart jumps when my phone goes.. have just changed his tone on WhatsApp so I don't think it could be him when it pings. Saw his best friend today & I don't think he knows so it's obviously not official but then men don't always share information like women do..

Its strange because I was single so long before him & I keep forgetting then it dawns on me & the sadness starts again!

Is your partner in the process of changing gender?:
"why am I not enough for him" then "we'll work through them because I don't want to lose her.

Lol @CoolJule43

Couldn't imagine him as a woman.. definitely wouldn't be an attractive one 🙈🤣

I stupidly messaged him. Now regret it immensely. I'm beginning to realise how toxic we were and how screwed up he was. I can literally predict his next moves....make me feel like crap to the point where I cave in and go back to him.
F'ck that!!

herewegoagainseries7 · 25/02/2019 17:44

@dilly123 I just hate my phone at the moment. I keep looking at it and hoping he's messaged. It's driving me mad. If it wasn't for work, I think I'd of binned it!
I shall change the ring tones too!

My 13 year relationship (married 10) ended a few weeks ago, I've since found out he slept with some tart, in our house, twice, over the last 12 months. There's probably more through the years.

It's been a very very rough road, I'm still not right, but I have lost two stone and my relationship with my kids has become closer, stronger. I've also realised how amazing my friends and family are.

Some days I still miss him, or at least the person he used to be or who I thought he was, but I'm ready to move on. He's completely shut down any communication, even about our kids. He's selfish and a coward.

We'll all get there, and be stronger and happier than they could ever hope to be 💪🏼💪🏼

dilly123 · 25/02/2019 18:07

How shameful Blush & weird is this just installed 2 dating apps I know he's used in the past, created a false profile to see if he's back on them or when he does.. maybe if he does I can get angry & that will help me move on..

Also bloody depressing seeing the standard of men in my age range & in my area Hmm
