He was my first in everything. I made the mistake of staying even after catching feelings hoping that my love would somehow change him but it never did. Instead he emotionally and sexually abused me took advantage of my vulnerability and never once checked in on how I was doing. I gave everything did everything that was asked of me but he never gave anything back.
I had already checked out of the relationship months ago but last night he officially ended things saying he “has a lot going on in his life.” I feel devastated. My heart is shattered and I don’t know how to move forward from this.
I would really appreciate any advice on how to navigate through this pain.

when you think about moving forward, what scares you more right now. missing him, or having to rebuild yourself after giving so much of you away
he was my first too, and i stayed thinking love would soften him. it didn’t. the emotional and sexual boundary crossing messed with my head for a long time. being discarded with a vague excuse HURT
This is the best thing that has happened to you. Trust it. I was in a similar situation and i was so devastated that i ruined my life. It gets better eventually and then you realise how stupid you were and how bad some men are. You would never ever be attracted to someone like that ever again.
