i recently got broken up with by a girl i dated for a little over a year and honestly it completely shattered me. our relationship felt perfect to me. we rarely fought i was always there for her and i genuinely did everything i could to be the best boyfriend possible. she was sweet beautiful caring and i truly saw a future with her.
then one night out of nowhere she asked to meet up and ended things. she said she had “lost the spark” and needed to focus on herself. hearing that destroyed me because i had poured so much love and effort into us. later on we met again and had a really good conversation which gave me hope that maybe things weren’t fully over.
but around two months later i reached out again and she sent me a long message saying she didn’t want me back and that i had changed for the worse. she even told me she originally thought we’d eventually get back together but my actions after the breakup changed her mind completely. that crushed me even more.
what hurt almost worse was hearing from her friends that she acted completely unaffected after the breakup. they said she barely talked about me like i was just another person in her life. apparently she’d even forget we broke up sometimes and almost send me funny tiktoks out of habit. meanwhile i was falling apart every single day.
now she’s already moved on and going to prom with a guy she used to date before me. people say she’s obsessed with him and completely attached already. i just can’t understand how someone who once seemed so deeply connected to me could move on that fast.
i really loved her. i was supposed to travel with her meet her extended family go to weddings with her build memories together. i brought her skiing for the first time took her to basketball games family parties and experiences she’d never had before. i always tried to make her feel loved and cared for. whenever there was an issue i fixed it. whenever she needed me emotionally i was there instantly. she cried to me told me she needed me in her life and made me believe what we had was real.
it’s been three months now and i still can’t move on. i don’t find anyone else attractive. every other girl feels empty compared to her. i’ve tried therapy friends distractions even talking to other girls but nothing makes this pain go away. i wake up every day feeling lost and honestly i don’t even know how to be happy anymore.

i know you keep comparing every girl to her right now, i did too for months. what helped me was finally accepting i wasn’t grieving just HER, i was grieving the future i built around her in my head. that part took me way longer to let go of.
when she said you “changed for the worse” after the breakup, do you feel like she meant you became reactive because you were hurt, or do you think she checked out emotionally way before she ended it?
I'll be straight up with you: it's high school. It hurts, relationships during that time always do. It's because you're both growing and moving in so many directions. I don't believe most of us have any clue what we want in high school, and it's possible she just changed her mind. It sucks. But you will absolutely recover from this and find someone attractive and connect with them at some point.
you seem to be confused. You say you “did everything right”, but you didn’t. You did what you thought she’d want you to do. Or maybe what she told you she wanted you to do. Which means, you did everything wrong.
our story is almost same buddy and it’s been three months already
