need advice on breakup
Relationship Stress / by purpleChestnut5580

...See more Me and my ex were together for about 6–7 months, and it was long distance, so I got really emotionally attached and invested in him. He’s more avoidant, and he told me he’s been going through things internally and doesn’t have the capacity for anyone right now, so he wants to focus on himself. He also said we couldn’t really be friends, even though he still loves me he’s just emotionally unavailable. I tried to respect that and started moving on, even though it’s been really hard. But then I saw he added another girl, and that hurt because it felt inconsistent with what he told me. Like, if you’re going through things and don’t have capacity, why are you still engaging with other people? It made me feel confused and really disappointed. I ended up sending him a message explaining how I felt, not to argue but just to be honest, and now I feel really vulnerable and emotional. I’ve been crying a lot and I think I’m just processing the breakup, the mixed signals, and the fact that he’s not able to show up for me the way I need.
