There was a girl I studied with through high school and two years later we reconnected online. We liked each other and decided to try a long-distance relationship. Unfortunately because of the distance time constraints and personal issues we never got the chance to meet in person.
About two weeks before our breakup she became emotionally distant and told me it wasn’t fair to me. Eventually I gave up and stopped talking to her for a week. When I reached out later to check if she was okay or needed support she told me she no longer felt the same way about me. She also mentioned that another guy had asked her out someone who had been interested in her from the start and even her college friends thought they’d make a good couple. She said she was planning to hang out with him even though before our breakup she had promised me she wouldn’t date anyone else.
Now I’m left with this pain and sense of betrayal. Should I just move on and let go or is there something else I should do?

when she pulled away that first time, did you feel it in your gut that something was off? like were there small signs before she said she didn’t feel the same anymore?
when someone starts choosing someone else in their head before the breakup even happens, it’s usually the point where holding on just hurts more. what helped me was not chasing clarity from them. just giving myself some space so my brain could breathe again. you don’t have to decide anything today.
i had a long distance thing too where he kept saying he “wasn’t talking to anyone” and then suddenly he’s hanging out with some girl who was “just a friend.” that shift when they go distant… it’s like you can literally feel them slipping away even before the words come out. i’m sorry you had to sit with that.
Move on. Let go. Don't hold yourself back. More is waiting for you outside there
