jayone Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Me and my girlfriend had been together nearly 2 years. I got with her a month after I broke up with my other ex. 2 days ago I told her to leave. For a good couple of months I have been feeling empty, we hardly slept together and when we did I didn't enjoy it. We argued a lot and I asked her to leave on a number of occasions but she gets real upset and my soft spot ends up giving her a hug and telling her we will work on it. We argued over money a lot. I earn a lot of money, and paid for her and her son. She didn't work, she's never worked and sat around on the computer all day whilst I stress my guts out working from home to sustain our lifestyle. She never really respected me and I got the impression she was only with me for the money. She did show me love, and she did care about me to some extent but we shared so little in common and was always arguing. But ... Now I am sitting here in the apartment on my own. I am very lonely. I can't eat properly, my anxiety is creeping up on me, I feel sick and an overall feeling of regret. I know from looking at the above you will say "you both deserve better". I agree. But the pain is still here and I want it to go. I want to be alone for a while, get my head sorted out, and meet someone who respects me, understands my work regime and has similar interests to myself. My past break up from my other ex was really bad, but I can't remember how I got over it. It's been a while. I should probably stop now, my feelings are probably the same as everyone elses around here. I feel I have made the right choice, but I need to just ride out the storm now.
carhill Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 So, pick up the phone and call a friend and go do something. Accept that your reasons and perspective for breaking up are valid and healthy. Be thankful that, not being married, you aren't compelled to part with a portion of your life's work. Within even a gloomy day there are gifts. Spend more than a month alone this time. Good luck

I hope that eventually I will get used to spending time alone and start to enjoy it.
