Something’s not right

So lonely

So lonely

I am so heartbroken and alone. I still love him so much.

I hurt the man I loved saying such hurtful things. He kept staying elsewhere and I didn't like it so I said enough.

I didn't want him to leave...I wanted him to stay..fight for us.

He txts and wants to keep in contact but it's hard ...and it hurts everytime I get a msg. Because all I want is for him to come back so we can work stuff out.

I know he is still very hurt, and inst here

I just want it to work. I don't know what to do anymore I am so confused. Friends say cut contact.

I just miss him so much..our connection...and everything.

Being 50 and alone is hard..

I'm just broken.

I know so many are struggling with far worse than me.

Its hard to deal with being alone, probably at most ages. In some ways it was easier when younger, in others it was tough.

I have no idea of all the circumstances, but maybe it can be time to reassess what you each can honestly offer one another in a relationship.

At least he is willing to text, while you talk through whatever issues had arisen.

I am going through a similar situation and I’m 51. I feel broken and alone too. I’m trying to get through one day at a time and doing things to distract myself, which does not always work.

I hope your heart mends soon.

I'm going through separation and break up too ( among other things).

Loneliness is like a disease. Especially if you have a certain attachment style and dependency...

As hard as it is, cutting contact is your best option at this stage. Now, that's just my opinion. And I know your instincts and desire will scream to the contrary, and memories may haunt you for so long....

It is extremely difficult. Especially since we were not made to be alone.

I know it’s hard to not feel like this. Just remember you are a worthwhile human who deserves to feel all facets of feeling safe and loved. I find insight timer helpful especially for affirmations

Thank you

It is so hard...I feel so broken and hate myself for what I have done. I was literally a different person...having started hrt my mood.. behaviour etc has changed dramatically. And he can't believe the turn around and says it abviously was him making me sick. I tell him it wasn't but he just looked at me in disbelief. I wished drs had offered hrt when hearing all my symptoms and when I begged for it.. I wouldn't have hurt him and my family. Even work saw the difference in me.

I can't apologise enough to him. Seeing him breaks my heart. We have spoken and he is so hurt..and told me he can't get passed what I said.

I'm glad he was able to tell me how he feels. And me being so pathetic threw my rms around him and hugged him.

I don't sleep...my mind doesn't stop. I overthink. I try to do the whole ...I am worthy ..I m happy...etc.

I did exactly what my mum did to my dad. 😞 Mum was never given help back in the day...was totally disregarded. It's a natural part of life...deal.with it. Mum ended up in mental unit and when I went to visit....every other patient there was female and roughly same age. I spoke to the nurse and she had said it's the change and their not coping. pPl.say move on but I don't want to. I am stupidly hopeful.

I do hope you are doing well

So sorry long reply
