Bubi2 Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Found this forum after searching online for how to mend my broken heart I am 9 days into the end of an 8 year relationship with a man I thought id spend the rest of my days with. Things in our relationship had become a bit laboured this time last year when one of his kids who lived with us had started dating. His new girlfriend was practically there 24/7 taking advantage of our good nature. I was the only person working at the time so I was supporting us all. Things became so bad in February this year that I was forced to move out. This happened on the Friday and by the Monday he had contacted me apologising for what happened. We met up and decided we would get through everything but i told him I wouldnt move back. As things moved on we were getting on great then he had other problems with his young daughter who had psychological problems. I supported him best I could but it all seemed to be 1 way traffic with me doing all the travelling to him as he didnt drive or work. As much as this was all hurting me so much I feel I tried my best until last Monday I received a phone call to say that things just werent working out, I told him if thats what he wanted then id respect that. Then on Friday I received a text asking me what the craic was. I told him I was at the cinema, to which he asked what I went to see. I replied with the name of the film and he just replied "ah good enough". I didnt bother replying as I didnt want him to think i was desperate. He has since deleted me from his Facebook. I am feeling so down and hurt at present despite all the things that have gone on. Would love some wise words of how I can come out the other side of this as quickly as possible. Just feel so numb :(
d0nnivain Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 You will get through this. You sound like a very nice person . . . supporting all those people, especially kids & SOs who weren't yours. The title of your thread was where / when did things go wrong? Probably somewhere around the time you became the sole bread winner. Money makes the sanest people nutty.

I took us on holidays and done all the christmases without ever wanting anything in return. I know I will get through it, just doesnt feel like that right now. I suppose even if I hada been shown a wee bit of affection it might have helped. As I type what Im thinking I can see the reasons why Im better off, just cant my head to think that way
