it’s only been 3 days since the breakup and i can’t get her out of my head. i miss her so badly it physically hurts. part of me wants to beg for another chance to undo everything to make her feel loved the way she deserved. honestly i feel like i broke her heart and handed the pieces back to her.
when we first started dating i had basically no self worth. i’d never been in a relationship before and genuinely believed nobody would ever love me. so when she came into my life and cared about me that deeply it shocked me. if i’m being honest in the beginning i chased the relationship partly because it made me feel wanted for once.
the first few months were messy because i was emotionally unavailable and immature. we argued a lot. but around month three something shifted for me. i realized she wasn’t asking for perfection she just wanted love and consistency. i started trying harder and for a while things were genuinely beautiful. she looked happy. i finally felt chosen and cared for in a way i never had before.
then things got difficult again and instead of communicating i started resenting the relationship. the calls the constant texting the reassurance she needed all of it started feeling heavy to me. instead of asking myself WHY she needed those things or trying to understand her better i mentally checked out whenever things became emotionally uncomfortable. i convinced myself i couldn’t focus on my future and also be in this relationship. i kept telling myself i’d eventually resent her for “holding me back.”
so on may 15th i ended things. she didn’t want the breakup at all. she said i left halfway through us and honestly that’s exactly what i did.
now that i’m sitting alone with my thoughts i’m realizing how badly i misunderstood her. she lost her father a few years ago and has carried so much pain for so long. those calls and texts were never about being clingy. she just wanted to feel loved included important to someone. she wanted reassurance because life had already taught her what abandonment feels like. and i treated her needs like they were a burden.
i see now that every time things got hard i looked for an escape instead of trying to solve the problem with her. i never slowed down enough to understand where her emotions were coming from. i just wanted relief whenever things stopped being easy. that’s on me.
the hardest part is knowing she would’ve stayed. through every argument every rough patch she still chose me over and over again. she trusted me completely and i broke that trust.
right now i know she’s shattered. she’s alone in a city away from home and probably questioning her worth because of what i did. and that kills me.
part of me wants to reach out and try to fix everything. part of me feels selfish for even wanting that because maybe i only fully understood her value after losing her. but another part of me is terrified i just lost the only person outside my family who truly loved me for who i was.
has anyone else ever ruined a relationship because fear and avoidance got in the way? did you ever try again after realizing your mistakes? or did you accept that the other person deserved better than someone who had to lose them first to finally wake up?

If you love her and willing to work on your issues then yes reach out. If it’s just your fear of “no one will ever love me that much” then please don’t. Work on yourself first and someone else will come along.
Whover is the dumper must be the one to fix it. Be prepared for rejection but you’d rather have that instead of thinking of the what ifs
Only try to fix it if you’re really going to be good to her. And get into therapy so you stop self sabotaging yourself.
Let that girl go and let her go live her life you made your choice
If you’re ready to do things over and treat her like the way she deserves to be treated, go back to her. If not, don’t bother because it’s better she finds somebody who is more compatible with her emotionally. The ball is in your court.
