Going through a breakup
He was my world. He meant a lot to me. That doesnt seem to be the case for him. Our relationship is avoidant and anxious attachment style with him being the avoidant.
For the past 1 year, I was struck in this loop where when a problem or a fight occurs, he runs away, distance himself, asks for a breakup. This was the pattern.
But when he is happy and being himself, he used to tell me not to trust the words that come out of his mouth when he is angry and upset. So I believed it. He asked for breakup more than 4 to 5 times last year and it felt like *** to me. But off course I didnt accept and told him that when he is back to his normal mood, he wont ask for the same again. And it happened again. He came back to normal and apologised for asking to breakup. This loop has been happening for more than 1year.
So I was so confused. I didnt know which of his characters to believe. One which loved me so much and cared for me or the one which only wanted break up and would tell all the most meanest things ever just so he can get a break up.
I was a mess struck in the loop and finally yesterday he asked for a breakup. I thought it was one of his episodes because just 2days before we were the happiest couple. We had a very minor fight but it tured into this. I told him the same, that, you'll be back to normal.
But he told this time that he is normal. He really wanted the breakup. He didnt want to be bound to responsibilities. He wants to be free. He told me stayed only becausehe felt blackmailed by me which is not true. I was hurt and vulnerable all those time when he asked for a break up. I just showed him my pain and my vulnerable side. I never in my life would have thought he would feel blackmailed by my emotions. He said he stayed because he thought I might die if he left.
Andso this time the breakup is real. He was making sarcastic commands like telling he is finally free from this relationship.
He told as if I tortured him which I didnt. Due to his avoidant tendencies I didnt even ask for bare minimum from him. We spoke like 10min per day and met once every 2 months. Thats it. I agreed to this arrangement because he told me he doesn't want to talk and waste his time. I agreed to everything. I changed myself for him.
But idk where it went wrong. Even after all this, he felt he was being pressured it seems. So I let him go. I accepted the break up. I still love him. I dont think I can ever move on from him.
Ive been crying since then. I haven't slept or eaten anything. I dont have friends except him. Now I cant speak to him as well. I live alone too. It feels so lonely. All those memories keeps coming back to me and it pains a lot. I just want all of this to go away. I keep blaming myself for what might have happened if I've acted differently. I dont know what to do anymore.
I know it feels like your whole world is falling apart right now, and I won’t pretend it doesn’t hurt — because it does. Losing someone you loved can make everything feel empty, confusing, and unfair. But please remember this: what’s breaking right now is not you. It’s only a chapter that’s ending.
You are still the same strong, loving, beautiful soul you were before this relationship. Someone walking away does nottake your value with them. Love didn’t fail you — it simply taught you something about what you deserve.
I strongly believe that God has someone prepared and waiting for you. But for now, this season is about you — working on yourself, healing, growing, and deepening your relationship with God. What is meant for you will not bring confusion, constant conflict, or sadness. The love God has for you will bring peace, clarity, and reassurance to your heart.
Right now, your only job is to breathe, take things one moment at a time, and be kind to yourself. Healing is not linear, and that’s okay. Little by little, your heart will make space again for joy and for a love that chooses you fully.
This pain will not last forever. One day, you’ll look back and realize this ending protected you and redirected you toward something better. You are not alone. You are deeply loved, you are worthy, and your story is far from over 🤍
I’m here for you.
Hey there
