friends help: Me and my girlfriend just broke up. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

Me and my girlfriend just broke up.

The reasoning is she’s really depressed and just started some meds and wants to focus on fixing herself. And I respect that. But I’m so in love with her. She wants to stay friends and I’m fine with that, but it hurts. So bad. I love her a lot, and I know sometimes you have to let them go, but I can’t stand the idea of her dating other people, even though I doubt she will. I hate the idea that my side of the bed we shared will be filled with someone else. That when we sit and watch a movie I can’t wrap my arms around her. I can’t hold her hand anymore. I just need some words of comfort, all my friends are trying to get me to relapse, and my parents couldn’t give two ***** about me.

Do not chase a girl who wants nothing more to do with you, for whatever reason.

This is also undoubtedly a high school romance, right?

Then it’s a practice romance. You practice for a little while to get ready for the real thing.

This isn’t the real thing. Tell her, “We’ll always be friends . . . goodbye, now!”

Not a high school romance. We’re adults. We lived together.

Let her go. Say goodbye and walk away. She wants to be friends, tough. That might be good for her but it’s not good for you. Just wish her well and vanish. You have 1 chance only, this is for her to miss you. If she is left wondering where you are, wondering who you are with, then and only then do you stand a chance of getting back on equal terms.

Do not be a doormat and allow yourself to become the “friend” while she tortures you with other guys. Be strong and be a man. Chin up, hold your head up high, no tears, no beggin and walk away.

I wish somebody had told me this 17 years ago btw !!

this is something that time has to heal. it always sucks to hear, but move on bro. youre going to have to anyway. if he needs to focus on herself, shes not going to be after anyone else so you dont have to worry about that. maybe in time shell come back to you, who knows. just give it time.

Send you a hug from here. As people say break ups take time to heal, youll feel like crap for a while but trust me it will pass. You wont feel like this forever

I say my parents don’t care about me in the sense that they never have. They treat me like the scum of the earth and I don’t have anyone else to talk to.
