What you considered your partner asked you for a break. Not a breakup but just a break so you agree. It’s been 2 months now no contact. Am I stupid for holding onto hope of rekindling

A break for some people means that they can get with other people and it doesn’t count as cheating. Did you guys discuss boundaries for the break?

I think in the very very rare occasion a break can actually be helpful. But typically, it’s just you not talking for a while, both getting sad, and then getting back together thinking everything is going to be better now only to realize months-years later that nothing was actually fixed and then it repeats over and over

Update: seen numerous posts of him and this specific girl hanging out together. Hell she was even sitting in his lap. I’m done.

I think you should really really try to use to break to see how you’d be without him. Go out with your friends, try at least one new hobby, one new club, a trivia night, a bike ride each day, whatever you enjoy doing just for you, try that. That way it’s less time just sitting there wondering if they’ll come back

Nope. He literally just hung the phone up on me and didn’t say any specific time frame. No contact for 2 months

He’s living his best life. I’ve been seeing it on social media. Partying drinking smoking, going out, girls. He even posted a video of him with a girl. I just feel stupid bc this whole time I’ve just been working and staying home minding my business & not doing anything id regret thinking that he’s coming back

Boys are like that though. At least from my experience and what I’ve observed in the people around me. Girls are sad off the rip from the breakup and take time to heal and then slowly but surely get better. Guys are immediately sadish maybe but mostly like woohoo party distraction get to do whatever I want, and then later when that gets old the sadness comes back for them and they realize what they were missing. Especially since by that time the girl is usually beginning to thrive on their own.

Again, that’s just my 2 cents it’s not science but I wouldn’t put too much weight into what he’s doing. Especially since ofc he’s more likely to post the “fun” stuff he’s doing and not his sad lonely nights at home. Keep working on yourself queen it will get better!

The thing is he didn’t even classify it as breaking up with me. He literally asked for a “break”. i wish he would’ve just broken up with me. It’s just not fair i’ve been feeling like shit and questioning my worth and if he even ever loved me, and he’s just having the time of his life

I’m so sorry you’re going through this girl. I hope you can find what makes you you again and realize you’re worth so much as a person without anyone else. Just you! Maybe it’s best to just tell yourself it’s over? As bad as it hurts it may be better so you can stop seeing it as waiting for him while he gets to do whatever he wants.

Hey hope you’re doing okay. I forgot to respond but he is so not worth it. Find someone who respects you and is communicative/honest with you
