in two weeks i am leaving for my exchange year in durham, England.
when we talked about stopping being together before i leave so we don't do long distance,, he told me that i don't have to hesitate to send him texts to tell him my journey
i answered "i won't be the first to break no contact"
he told me "well, your birthday is the one coming first. And while waiting i'll watch your stories in England."
My birthday is the 3rd of october.
We are at day 46 of no contact.
He unfollowed me on Instagram three days ago. Meaning he will never watch those stories and probably won't even wish me happy birthday.
I feel so sick, he lied to me when i was crying in his arms.

this one hurts because you were crying in his arms when he said it, so of course you believed him. i’d try not to let the unfollow turn into a whole story about your birthday or what he’ll do then, because right now you’re hurting over something he hasn’t even done yet.
that's real, i will know when it will be my birthday and try not to think about it before, thanks you!
omg i know that hurts so much! my ex promised me to check in with me how i was doing but he never did (7 months no contact now).
but you are entering a new era now. a whole year in england!! you're gonns have so much fun and you'll meet so many cool new people who will make the best moments with him feel so small. im wishing you the best year ever!!♡
omg that must have hurt so much! i hope that since the 7 months, you healed... and indeed omg i have so much ahead of me !!
you think what hurts most is that he unfollowed you, or that it makes you question whether everything he said while you were together was real?
exactly, it hurts most that it question everything he said, even when we were talking at the after break up
those tiny promises hurt SO much when they’re the things you held onto during no contact. i remember clinging to things my ex said about the future, then watching them quietly disappear, and it felt like losing them all over again.
that's so true, all the hope is disapearing at once, there is nothing left to hold at...
that's brutal. I'm sorry that happened to you. you're in good company though, we all have broken hearts around here! feel free to vent. that's what I do.
that's so kind, i hope you find here the help you dearly need
