I (f25) broke up with my ex (m26) about 6 months ago now. It was an extremely painful break up, we were both so inlove at the time. After a night out of drinking I woke up to him inside of me and broke up with him almost immediately but the feelings I had for him didn’t go away. He apologised profusely and got therapy but I still ended it with saying we’d speak 3 months later to see if this is something I could forgive. The 3 months passed and even tho I missed him I could not forgive it, I messaged him to say I needed more time and he messaged back saying that we both were only going to hurt each other and there was no hope to move past what he did. He said he hadn’t moved on but all the outcomes of us trying again ended in a lot of pain and that was the last thing he wanted for either of us. I didn’t respond and after a few days he blocked me. I still think about him everyday. I’d like to think that he still misses me and almost like ‘I’m the one who got away’ as it’s hard to face the fact that even tho he did what he did, I still love him and miss him and he has moved on and doesn’t care for me anymore. What do you guys think?

I get it, OP. Ex and I dated for 4 months and violated my boundaries both physically and emotionally. People who truly love you wouldn’t hurt you in that way. It’s tough, but I know (deep down) that it’ll be for the best. I still think about her everyday and miss what we shared, but I came out of that relationship with so many lessons that I’ll never forget.
It gets better everyday, if only by nanobits. You aren’t alone.
