Stephen44 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 We went out for 3 years. I got close to her, the kids, the dogs, etc. It's like an entire home has been taken away. Only home I've known since I was a kid. And you go back to nothing, and it's not easy to fill that space. Her reason: She didn't love me anymore. I guess as a guy you get so wrapped up in trying to provide, that the romance slips. Happens a million times. And the standard advice--move on, let go, etc--it's really hard bc a home is really hard to replace. I tried dating others and it just didn't work. So you hold out hope.
breadbin Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 i'm about 11 months and same situation. it's not easy. i've a lot of anger. a lot of frustration, guilt, confusion? fear, loss, the list goes on. the hope is dwindling though so that is good. once i realise we're not getting back together things will be good. i thought 11 months would be time enough but goes to show you. hang in there, it has to get better.
Author Stephen44 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 I'm variously angry, depressed, lost--all that. Past relationships maybe it took a month or two or less, but this was a home and a future -- something I never had. Simple stuff like Christmas with the kids. It's as if, in 20 years of striving, you finally find joy -- and then it's all wiped out. 1
