I was in a relationship for almost two years and the last five months have been rocky. There were a lot of issues with him setting boundaries with his mom and me feeling like he was unappreciated by some people. I also felt like he couldn't stick up for me or the relationship. I always had to negotiate time because he is an introvert and that caused some arguments as well.

I had the best time when we were out being busy. He has a good job and we have a lot of similar values. He is out together and mature for his age and very ambitious. He ended things by sending me an email. I'm disgusted by his behavior when he said he would never treat me that way. I guess that's what hurts the most. It's not the breakup. It's the lies of everything being ok and then receiving an email. I have gone on a few dates and no one compares. Maybe I haven't given it a chance. At 27 I feel like my dreams of having a family are now crushed. I wasted two years with someone who act like this. I thought I was doing better last week and I'm now regressing.

I'm sorry that you are hurting & he was such a cad to break up with you by e-mail. However, as you describe him unable or unwilling to stick up for himself it's not totally surprising that he picked a format where you can't respond.

 

Anyway, your life is not over. You can still get married & have a family. You are only 27. Give yourself the rest of the year off. Lick your wounds. Think about what you learned from this failed relationship. Then come 2016, pick yourself up, dust yourself off & get back out there.

^ thank you for those encouraging words. 2016 will indeed be a better and a brand new year!

 

I am 29 and i know how you feel about wasted time with someone. I feel that couldve had a family by now if i hadnt stayed with someone who never accomplished her promises. Lies. Theyre always lies.
