I'm in the apartment my ex and I were supposed to move into together, and it hurts so much. We had already started setting things up, and I really thought this was going to be our future.
I'm here with a friend right now, but I'm scared of what will happen when she leaves and I'm alone with all these memories. I honestly don't know how to cope with being here, and I don't think I can live here anymore.
I wanted to move to this city for work, but it's so far away from my parents. The only reason I was okay with it was because he was supposed to be here with me. Now I'm questioning everything.
I keep replaying memories and imagining what our life could have been like. I can't stop wondering why he didn't want to try to fix things when I was so willing to work through everything together. I know I need to move forward, i thought i was over him, but being in this apartment makes it feel impossible right now.

i’ve been in a place that was supposed to be “ours” and then suddenly felt completely wrong without them. i remember looking around at all the things we picked out together and grieving a whole future that never even got to happen
I'm sorry man, that's exactly how it felt for me too
when my breakup made my home unbearable, i stopped forcing myself to decide anything about the future while i was hurting that badly, and just focused on getting through one day at a time.
i can hear how much of this city was tied to him for you. when your friend leaves and it’s just you and that apartment, what feels scariest about being there alone?
I think it’s the fact that I’ve never really been alone before. I’ve always had my family around, noise, and people to come back to. Now it was just me and my thoughts, and all the memories of what this place was supposed to be and the life we were supposed to build together there
