I'm completely broken

[skylighting]

Me and DP have ended. We've been arguing a lot and he ended it about an hour ago. He said that he doesn't love me as much anymore and that he's been feeling like this for 2-3 weeks, and that he's been lying to me. That hurts.

We have all of the same friends (also friends with my other ex) and I just can't show my face anymore. They are bad friends and I need to cut them off, but that leaves me friendless and partnerless. I feel so alone and isolated. I want close friends, but I don't have any. I live in a village and don't drive. I have a 13 month old DS.

I'm lonely and alone and heartbroken. I have severe depression. I don't even know why I'm posting this. I don't have anybody else to talk to. I can't see this ever getting better because my entire life was centred around him in terms of my home, friends, my plans for the future etc.

So sorry this has happened.

How long have you been together? You're not alone and this is a great place to get support.

We haven't even really been together that long, which is why I feel so stupid.

We've been friends for years.

I thought that he was the love of my life.

Please don’t feel stupid. You gained a beautiful child through this relationship.
I know what you’re going through, my husband walked out last month when I was battling depression.
I regretfully relocated to be with him at the expense of my own life and I’m trying to piece my life back together.
Use the opportunity of having a baby to join mum and baby clubs, check your local
Community centres and find people for friendships of your own and get your independence back.

Ouch, that must hurt.

You say you're completely broken, but I promise you you're not. It just feels that way at the moment because it's all so raw.

It WILL get better. And you can make other plans for the future.

Why do you say they are bad friends?
