Feeling betrayed: when others influence your breakup

Author

That moment when you find out that your break up was because of the people around him telling him long distance would never work out and he didn't think twice.
(p.s his mum called me)

did he ever tell you himself why he ended it, or was that the first time you heard the real reason?

He never fully gave a clear reason.
He was beating around the bush saying we're too different that he can't love me completely and all of that.
mind you, this came a day after we literally had an intimate conversation because I felt he was pulling away and he apologized saying he'd do better

I had the same thing happen. his friends who used to say they loved us and hoped we never ended suddenly started saying break up to him so he did and then got with one of the girls telling us to break up

that would shake me too. my ex let his friends get in his head about our relationship and he folded so fast, like what we had meant nothing. finding out it wasn’t even really HIS decision hurts in a whole different way

Exactly, makes him a coward.
I hate when someone is easily influenced like a child.

yeah, I've been told that multiple times and it never worked out, I mean one if my relationships only lasted for 7 months, but, I think he shouldn't listen to ppl who says false answers bc sometimes long distance ends in a good way

it was a 9 month relationship, we didn't even get to celebrate one year, we planned on seeing each other too, lol.
it's just so stupid that everything makes sense.
