| 51 year old guy here....my girlfriend and I just broke up after 1 1/2 years. I'm incredibly heartbroken and crushed. I have no idea why I'm writing it down on here. I do nothing online and don't even have a Facebook account....I just needed to write this for some stupid reason. I am so heartbroken and lonely. |
|
I'm sorry OP. I find writing about whatever is making me feel bad/sad/worried helps me.
Is any of your sadness perhaps caused by the difficulty of finding another partner during the pandemic? |
Thank you for your kind works. No, I really don't think so. It's all about her. She was my best friend. I still think she is the single most amazing human being I have ever know. By far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. We have been broken up now for a little less than a week and I miss her so much. There were a couple huge factors in our breakup and neither of us were really in control of those factors. |

I'll check it out...thank you |
| Why did you break up, OP? |
She was the one who broke things off. Oh my god the story behind this is really crazy and I don't think most people would understand. And her situation is so unique that if I posted it on here, anyone reading this who knows her would immediately recognize who I'm talking about. (she is extremely well known). Our lives are so different that even though we love each other, well...the pressures were too great for her. It's something I could never write down, because I just can't describe in writing the entire situation. Bottom line...we come from 2 different worlds. I do wish I had someone to sit down over coffee with and talk about all of this though. |
| So sorry to read this and it’s completely normal to post here. We all need a place to safely express our feelings. Life can be so difficult and unfair. I’m thinking of you. |

Get a dog.

| OP, I’m sorry you are sad. It’s clear you really love your gf - for that reason, you may want to wait a bit before moving on to someone new, as it doesn’t sound like anyone could compare (in your view) right now. |
|
So sorry, op.
It’s okay to let the grief out into this universe, especially if you don’t have a confidante. |
Yes, I definitely don't think I'll be wanting to date for a very long time. I guess I just need to work on myself for now. Honestly I can't even fathom the idea of dating someone else. I'm afraid it will be a long time before I'm ready to even think about dating someone else. I think I'll just work on building my business and a few other things I've been wanting to do. (Learn a third language...arabic, getting back in great shape, etc....). guess it's time I work on dating myself. |
| On the contrary if you allow me to play matchmatcker there's a 32 year old who isn't looking for anything serious. Perhaps have some fun on the side while learning your 3 languages. |
