Why valentine's day hurts so much after a breakup

Author

Valentine's Day is just another day again...today I really miss him again, I just wish he'd fought harder. It feels like I never meant anything to him. And I'm really struggling with not reaching out.

you feel like he showed you in other ways that you mattered, or is this part of a bigger pattern where you were the one fighting harder?

I always seemed to be the one trying to hold things together and keep him, and in the end he told me he couldn't give the kind of relationship I want. After nearly three weeks of no contact, I feel like that was an excuse.

valentine’s day hit me like that too. i remember staring at my phone thinking “if i mattered, he’d fight.” i missed him so bad it felt physical. and the not reaching out part? that was the HARDEST thing you’re not crazy for feeling this.
