I've just been dumped by text

[navys]

I've just been dumped. By text. After 4 years. I can't get my head round it.

@Rainbowqueeen Thank you

I am struggling something rotten tonight!

You poor thing OP and it must be so hard and yet so many of us here are right behind you and do keep venting / chatting / anything to get you through this.
How you feel won’t be permanent but it will feel like the whole world right now I expect. Just remember it won’t stay like this and you’ll be more than ok and indeed better!

I hope you can manage to find something nice to do and distract you , I always go for distraction when overwhelms me like losing a pet and I know it’s not the same grief but it helps me to manage it a bit more slowly

Aw OP it’ll take a while to get better, it’s grief, there are stages to go through but you will get there. Make sure you’re eating and try to get some sleep. This too shall pass. Sending you very unmumsnetty hugs.

You doing really well op. He will likely contact you in the next week. I had to block and ignore an old boyfriend after he dumped me on my birthday....they always contact they need the validation that there special or the guilt gets to them and they want get it off their shoulders.

Is there an intermediary who can take his stuff round to his house?

Op youre so strong and you don't even realise. I cannot believe you've not responded. What dignity you've shown. Youve got your little man thats all you need. Stay strong 💪

I LOVE your style

Thinking of you OP, hope you manage to distract yourself enough to get through the evening. You're doing fantastic, hang on in there, it will get easier.

@happinessischocolate Thank you so much. I had a really busy day at work yesterday and then it was a relatives birthday so went to theirs for some food which meant I didn't get home until late ish. Definitely helped as I wasn't sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself.

Not feeling quite as positive this morning though

Each day will get a bit easier OP.

I think the key is trying to keep busy somehow. Try to change up your routine a bit, maybe rearrange furniture in the house.... just doing something to keep thinking this over and over.

Keep sharing your news and I’m glad you had a busy moment. It’s so understandable it’s hard when it’s quieter and you are doing so well getting through these first few days as honestly it must be so tough and it really will get easier x
