i met her on a dating app and we connected almost instantly. conversations felt effortless we laughed a lot stayed up talking and everything just clicked naturally. after about a month we started a long distance relationship. i was her first real relationship.
in the beginning it felt calm and easy. warm in a way i hadn’t really experienced before.
then life started getting heavier for her. she began preparing for her licensure exam and i understood she needed time to focus. i never expected constant attention. but slowly our conversations became reduced to just good morning eat lunch and good night. nothing more.
i kept trying to reach for her gently just wanting to feel like i still existed in her life. i didn’t need all her time. honestly even a small effort would’ve meant everything to me. but eventually even that started feeling impossible for her to give.
instead she started sending me money.
i never asked her to. at first i appreciated it because i had lost my job and was struggling badly. but over time it started hurting in a different way. it felt like the emotional connection was disappearing and the money became a substitute for presence. like she was trying to fill the distance with financial help instead of time or affection.
we even made plans for her to stay with me during her review period. i was fully ready to support her through everything.
then one morning she told me i’m sorry i’m tired.
that was it.
the same person who asked me to wait for her who kept promising soon we’ll finally be together suddenly sounded done with us completely.
after that came apologies. then requests for the money back. and finally a message that honestly shattered me more than the breakup itself:
god bless in your future endeavors.
it felt so cold. so formal. like i was just some temporary phase she closed and walked away from.
now all i’m left with is silence anger confusion… and love that still hasn’t fully died no matter how much i wish it would.

hat “god bless in your future endeavors” line would’ve destroyed me too. my ex once ended years together sounding like he was replying to a work email and i swear the coldness hurt more than the breakup itself
honestly when someone starts replacing connection with money, gifts, favors, whatever, i’ve learned it usually means they’re already emotionally halfway out the door. that realization HURTS but it also stopped me blaming myself for “asking too much
you think she was emotionally shutting down for a while before she finally said she was tired
