First Breakup
Relationship Stress / by ByeByeBirdie22

...See more My partner of almost 2 years broke up with me this week. They were very kind, said I was perfect and our relationship had been worth every minute, but they had realized their feelings for me were platonic. I am finding it hard to do just about anything--eat, sleep, work, socialize. I'm just absolutely heartbroken.

...See more I am going through my first breakup and it's been really difficult, not only because I loved my partner very much, but also because of what they represented for me. I am queer, disabled, and somewhat asexual, and I had always thought those things would make it near impossible to find love. When I found my (now ex) partner, I felt so relieved that my search was over. They were incredibly understanding of my disability and all the other nuances of my identities. Now I feel adrift again in a world that makes it so hard for people like me to find love, connection, and understanding.

...See more I'm 22 and going through my first breakup with my partner of about 1.5 years. I naively thought we could be together forever, or at least a very long time, and the breakup came as a surprise. They were very nice about it, it was amicable, but it was not at all mutual. It feels like every minute I'm reminded of another thing that I miss about them or had planned to do with them. Big things like celebrating Christmas together, meeting their friends from high school, watching a Marvel movie we had been anticipating. Little things like the smell of their hair, a kiss on the cheek, them singing love songs to me. I don't know when I'll be able to live my life without constantly being bombarded by memories.
