Seeing ex and his new gf at a wedding
Relationship Stress / by Nemo23

...See more So i have just found out that not only do i have to see my ex who is thr best man at our friends wedding this summer, but he is bringing his new girlfriend who is the girl he cheated on me with. It was a very messy breakup (I've posted before about it) and even though we have cleared the air a bit, i do not talk to him now and haven't seen him since he left me. I have had a real rough ride of it, been in and out of depression and now things are finally starting to get better, but knowing that I have to see them both is bringing on a lot of anxiety.i am not a bitchy awkward person, but him and this girl have caused me so much pain and tortured me for months before he finally broke up with me after 6 years together. I was completely devoted to him and he just replaced me with some girl from work. I am maid of honour at this wedding so am not bringing anyone as I'm guna be hella busy for my friend, as well as not having anyone to bring as I am still not over my ex. He doesn't speak to our friends anymore and has barely seen the groom, his gf hasn't met anyone.why is he bringing her and how am I guna get through this day.any tips would be much appreciated.

...See more It's been a while since I last posted on a previous thread.to cut a long story short my boyfriend of 6 years who I was devoted to and ready to marry had depression and over the process of a painstaking 6 months left me for a girl at work. I was just broken.couldnt sleep, couldn't eat, hysterical crying, you name it. I had a month where I was living alone in our house with no friends or family around working at the same place as the girl he cheated on me with. Thankfully I got our of that situation and spent an amazing 5 months working abroad in Costa Rica doing something I loved.it was tough st times and my ex texted me apology messages whilst I was out there wanting to be friends but I said I couldn't do it. Now I've come back and it's really tough again.im back in my parents house, no job and lots of rejection emails flying in, not many friends left in my old town and those who are I am not too close to anymore, and I can't help but feel alone. I talked to my ex a little when I first got back but he was wuite unresponsive, took ages to reply and didn't really seem like he was wanting to talk anymore. I've not talked to him since and he is still with the girl he left me for. I still miss him as a friend and if I'm honest still love him despite all of this. Right now my life is a bit sucky and I am finding myself missing him more as a result. I am not sleeping and finding myself crying hysterically each night again. It's difficult being back alone again.

Left brokenhearted from ex with depression

...See more I have just been dumped by my partner of 6 years and am completely devastated. We have had an extremely happy 5 years growing up together. I love him to pieces and we had talked of getting married and our future together. He has suffered with a couple of periods of depression before where he was out of work or off sick, and i supported him emotionally, financially and physically where he was having panic attacks each morning. In January we went on an amazing trip to Japan together and had a fantastic time.when we came back he went into one of these spells and right around this time he started a project at work with this girl called Sam.she had just broken up with her long term boyfriend and had severe anxiety and depression too.so they hit it off and became close friends, I tried to get involved in the friendship and asked to meet her but because of her anxiety he said it was a bad idea.meanwhile throughout his depression was spiralling worse and he was talking to her more and more and distancing more from me treating me like a piece of dirt under his sboe.i asked him to talk to her less and told him how i was feeling but he carried on. This came to a head when he went to the doctors with her behind my back, was diagnosed with depression and given antidepressants, and then told me he was confused about how he felt about me in part because of this Sam girl.so I was heartbroken and he left. After a day he called and said we wanted me back and to make it work.

Taking a break from depressed boyfriend

...See more My boyfriend suffers with depression and this is the third really low period he's been through in the 5 years we've been together. He's been really bad the last few months, one minute he'll be fine and normal, the next he'll just be staring at a wall. He says he feels like he doesn't know who he is or what he wants and just feels empty.he's been to the doctors and now he's on antidepressants, I've been trying to support him through it but he's been distant a lot of the time. The last two months he's been friends with this new girl from work who has depression, social anxiety, and recently left her long term boyfriend. He constantly messaged her day and night, was really secretive about it all and would meet up with her for drinks and all day long trips to town. It bothered me that he was so close with her and yet so distant with me, but I knew that it was helping him so even though it hurt I just asked him to be less secretive and said I'd like to meet her, but he said due to her social anxiety this was a bad idea. Yesterday he went to the doctors and hid the fact that she went with him. I was sat waiting for him afterwards and waiting for an hour calling and messaging only to find out he was with her at the park. Then we had a big long talk about what he's been doing and his depression. He says he doesn't love her and does love me but doesn't know what he wants and doesn't deserve me. It's just seemed to come straight out of the blue and we were happy and normal at the weekend. I still completely love him and am committed to this relationship and a future with him. We've decided to take a break and we live together so he's gone back to his parents, we said a week with no talking but as he left he said he didn't know if he would come back. Now I'm just left in limbo completely crushed and don't know what to do other than wait for him to come back.
