Today my girlfriend broke up with me and it felt like a punch to the chest. She was upset about some past lies I told and even though I tried to comfort her she resisted pulled away and ignored my calls. I thought giving her space for a few days might help but instead she suddenly sent me a message saying “let’s end this.”
Earlier she had asked me about my first connection. I admitted I had one body count before her but I gave her a different name than the real one because I didn’t want to hurt her. I thought being honest about the mistake would be enough but it wasn’t.
I didn’t beg or argue. I simply told her I respected her decision. This morning I returned the Lego flower she gave me for my birthday leaving it at her door my way of showing I wasn’t going to be clingy or desperate.
Now I feel completely crushed. I keep replaying every sweet moment every laugh every good morning text. I wanted to comfort her to be patient and loving but it wasn’t enough. It feels like all my effort meant nothing. I feel heavy anxious and trapped in my own thoughts constantly replaying what we had and what I’ve lost.
I don’t want to chase her or beg. I just want to survive this detach and stop the endless mental replay. But right now it’s brutal.

when she brought up your first connection, did it feel like she was already halfway out? or was this the first time trust felt shaky between you two?
i won’t lie, the mental replay can drive you insane. what usually helps me is just letting myself feel the heaviness instead of fighting it. the more i tried to “detach fast,” the louder my brain got.
You Will be okay after time, and remember things Will be better!
i told a small lie once thinking it would “protect” her and it blew up everything. that punch to the chest feeling is REAL. the replaying every memory part is the worst i couldn’t eat for days.
be kind to yourself and never feel guilt
this time will pass
