Dumped :(

I don't know what to do. My boyfriend of 5 years has ended our relationship. His reasons are so strange. He basically wanted to end things so that he could focus on his career and didn't want to be in a relationship.

I'm annoyed as I gave him so much space when he requested it, I was his best friend (or so he said), I gave him 100% support, always made time for him, spolit him rotton and loved him to pieces. He said that the time of our relationship was the best hes ever had and that I will never be replaced. He was everything to me, my partner and best friend. Having said that, I don't want to stand in his way, and I love him enough to accept his wishes and let me go.

We still keep in contact and have been seeing each regularly, but since its happended (a month ago) hes backed off and reduced contact with me (when it happended hes been in daily contact).

Help!! Don't know what to do! It's driving me insane! I'm trying to keep myself busy with work and exercise, but I'm going round in circles!

It's really painful to think that someone else out there will be able to give him kids etc, something that I've always wanted to give him.

It happens. You just have to accept it and get on with your life really. It will hurt but gradually less as time goes on :smile:

I just wrote a really long reply but my internet went gay and deleted it all:frown: , is really rather annoying. Anyway, to keep it short. Move on with your life. Maybe pick up a new hobby or something. You'll fell much better in a month or two, maybe sooner but its hard to say(different for each person).

Best of luck though :smile:

Aww sadtimes :frown:

Like the other guys said you do need to stay out of a rut and give time a chance...no doubt it feels pretty nasty right now for you and being casually told to get on with it, it'll all be fine is kinda not the sweetest...um...sweet in the box but enjoy the stuffs you have now and like look forward to funtimes ahead huh, and take it in good stride-ness ^^

Big Hug

You just have to keep thinking positively about the future. Sure you guys aren't together but that only means there's someone out there who is better than him. Someone out there who will put you first before their own career.

Sadly people's feelings change, suppose you could take heart that it wasn't because he cheated or lied, not that it makes it feel any better.

I feel so bad for you and I know its hard. However you will see that every day you'll feel just a little bit better. I still get upset about my ex (9 years) so I know how you feel, but now he's just an annoyance and my life is so much better. Yours will be too, and just think, you will also have kids with a guy who doesnt hurt you in this way so it goes both ways xx.
