I got into a relationship 13 months ago after being single for the past9 years and he suddenly ended things with me 2 days ago. I didn’t see it coming at all…every card, text, meme, gif, were all based on how we’d be together forever.
I love this man with my whole heart and I don’t know how I’m going to survive this. I just want the time to speed up so I’ll know what the outcome is. I just can’t imagine my life without him and now it’s happened… I’m so so so lost. I can’t remember the last time I cried so much…
I'm sorry to hear how hard it must be at the moment @CL .
I can hear how confronting and unexpected this grief is.
I hear how much you have been crying, and maybe that is healthy and 'normal' at this time?
I'm not sure if you are up to talking about it, but was there any context leading up to the break up?

Re: Broken
I am so sorry this happened, @CL. I had a similar thing happen to me, and I was broken hearted for longer than I'd like to admit.
But, looking back, it was probably for the best. My boyfriend ending things out of nowhere, just like yours did. Looking back, I think it was for the best. If he was willing to leave that quickly, did I really want to spend the rest of my life with that man?
I hope all goes well for you, I'm sending you love. I'm proud of you for opening up on this forum, that can be hard for come people.
(Ps knowing how much pain this man has caused you I hope he trips and lands face first mouth open into cow manure 😊)

Re: Broken
He asked for some space and time for the first time 3 days prior but nothing prior to that…it was a huge shock. And the amount of tears I’ve shed have been hugely cathartic. There have been so many

Re: Broken
Thank you Ember. I have been thinking that too. Often wondering who he really is to allow me to go through this. This level of grief is almost similar to him dying suddenly. 3 days of crying/sobbing and I don’t know when it will end.
maybe he’ll try to come back but I don’t know if I’ll want him to after this

So, here I am a year later.
I survived this. I survived harder situations than this. And so far nothing has come close to taking me out.
