I was with my ex for two years until five weeks ago, when he suddenly text me to say he didn’t want to be with me. I went to see him as I felt I deserved a better explanation, he explained that ‘his heart’ wasn’t in it anymore and that he wanted to be alone. I was heartbroken but accepted what he said, I was really upset and for the past month I’ve thought of him. Friday was his nephews wedding, we had been invited to go together but obviously I wasn’t going to be going. I messaged him in the morning and said I hoped that he had a good time. He never replied and so by the end of Friday I decided that actually he didn’t matter anymore and I blocked him and deleted him. Saturday evening at 11pm he messaged me on messenger (we have never used messenger to talk) asking if I could I call him as he was feeling really down. I didn’t call him but we did exchange messages, mainly me trying to make him feel better. We agreed to meet on Sunday night. I got to his and this is what he said:
He had finished with me because he had met someone else, everything was going great for them and he had fallen in love with her, they went to the wedding on Friday and after the wedding she basically dumped him and now he was heartbroken and needed to speak to someone. In the two years we were together he never told me he loved me. I’m feeling beyond rejected, I’m so upset and I know I shouldn’t.
I suppose what I want to know is, how do you deal with rejection? I’m upset and feel utterly crap, ugly and just rubbish about myself
