It’s been almost a month since my girlfriend of five years ended things. We’d been struggling for a while and she was torn about leaving—until she finally did. She said she was unhappy and that I was the reason. I know I made mistakes and I genuinely tried to change. I shaped myself around what she liked hoping it would help. But we were constantly arguing constantly clashing.
We never cheated. I was her first boyfriend. We shared everything—first trip abroad countless vacations plans to move in together. Just a month before the breakup I spent a lot on her birthday trip to make it special. But she told me The bad outweighs the good. That broke me. Because no matter how much love or effort I gave it never seemed to be enough.
She’s avoidant I’m anxious. That mix made our fights unbearable. And now I miss her more than I can explain. I think about her every day. I check her socials constantly even though she removed me from most of them right away. Last night she even took down the small things—like me in her highlights. We haven’t spoken in a month. We still follow each other but I don’t know if she’s told her family. I feel lost.
I want her back so badly. I know I said I wouldn’t chase anymore but this pain is unbearable. She’s the love of my life. My days feel hollow without her. I’m not sure what to do should I reach out? Just one message? Maybe ask how she’s doing if she’d consider giving us one more chance?
I miss her deeply. We had so many dreams together. And now it feels like a part of me is missing. Should I text her? Write her a letter? Visit her? Leave flowers? I just want her back. I don’t know how to move on.

you’re caught between wanting to reach her and the constant reminders that she’s moved her life without you. the missing part is hitting you hard, that’s clear, and it makes every choice feel impossible right now

missing everything we planned and wondering if any of it mattered to them. it hurt so bad just the thought of reaching out scared me but also felt like the only thing i wanted
