My boyfriend broke up with me in March 2026. We had been together since January 2024 and for most of that time it felt like a genuinely loving relationship. We were affectionate got along effortlessly and I felt completely comfortable being myself around him. He was my safe place the person who made me feel happy understood and at home.
We talked about everything marriage kids living together and building a future. He would hold me close tell me he loved me call me his person and promise he would never leave.
That's what makes this so hard. This wasn't our first breakup. It's our second and both times he was the one who ended it. I'm struggling to make sense of how someone can talk about forever with you and still walk away.

the love was real, but love by itself wasn't enough to keep someone from leaving. i spent so long trying to solve the contradiction when there wasn't an answer that made it hurt less.
i'm wondering, after the first breakup, did he ever explain what made him come back and what made him leave again, or are you still left trying to fill in those blanks yourself?
i went through a second breakup with the same person too, and somehow it hurt even more because i believed all the promises the second time around. when someone feels like home, losing them feels like losing part of yourself.
