I lost the love of my life this past Friday November 2025. He looked me in the eyes and said he couldn’t be with me anymore. We were together for four years and during that time I became a stepmom to his son I’ve cared for him since he was four and he’s eight now. We even got a puppy together in April who’s now seven months old. I uprooted my entire life to build a family with him leaving behind my friends and family to be with him.
On Friday I had to leave. I went back to the house last week for work and seeing him again broke me I couldn’t stop crying. We transferred all the bills into his name since I’m the one moving out. I’ll be returning on Monday and he won’t be there until Tuesday night so I’ll have a little time alone with the puppy.
I keep reaching out over and over because I’m still deeply in love with him. I didn’t want this to end. I don’t know how to stop how to let go or what steps I should be taking to move forward. I feel lost. How do you move on from someone who felt like home?

can i ask something gently? when he ended things, did he give you any real reason or did it feel sudden on your side? sometimes knowing the truth of what actually happened helps you stop blaming yourself.
what usually helps me is creating distance even though it sucks. like… removing myself from the house, the routines, the little triggers. it doesn’t fix anything overnight, but it gives your brain a tiny bit of space to breathe. even just telling myself “i only need to get through the next hour” helped a lot when i was drowning.
