Khlash Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I'm 38 years old. I've endured the passing of 2 brothers, a sister, my mother, and my father and a divorce from a marriage of 13 years............and I've never......and I mean never....felt pain like I have after that my gf of two years has changed her mind about wanting to be with me.... I was so I love. I made mistakes in our relationship but so did she and she acted like I treated her so badly. I never raised a hand to her while she got violent with me multiple times. Once taking her drunken anger out on my car. But when it was good, I was the happiest man on earth. I don't know If I can bear it without her. I was convinced we would be together forever. We shared so much and were the cutest couple you'll ever see. She is quite a bit younger, 22 to my 38 years...and I can only attribute the sudden emotional 180 to that. I don't know. I miss her so much... Every minute is so difficult without her.....I don't know if I can do months of this like everyone says it takes to heal.
switch01 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I know what your going through man. My gf of 8 years just left me for another guy and at the moment I feel like dying. It's the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. Months seem like a long time but as the weeks go by I think it will get a little better.. You would probably settle for just an ounce less of pain at the moment, and it will come.
BustedUpInside Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I think the older we get, the less adaptable we are to change and so when someone we love blindsides us with a break up that completely changes our reality, it is devastating on a number of levels. You are perfectly normal for having these feelings. If you read through some of the posts on here you will see that there a lot of people around your age who feel very similarly after a long term relationship ends. Just trust yourself and know that you have the strength to get through this. You will do it like you have gotten through all the other hard times in your life...one day at a time. Good luck! Keep posting and you will see how much encouragement there really is on this site 1
