My girlfriend and I started dating just over two years ago right after college. We’d already been friends for about a year during school and once we got together we were inseparable. We spent nearly every day together and when we weren’t we were on the phone calling falling asleep on call doing everything together virtually.
Later she went back to retake her A‑levels at another college while I was working during my gap year. That’s when things started to unravel. Long distance wasn’t easy for us and we began arguing constantly over small things like her saying she’d call when she got home and then not doing it. Those little fights built resentment and our relationship turned toxic and childish.
A few months later she finished her retakes and we both headed to Manchester for university. Things seemed better at first but then she started feeling really low about herself. She felt like the year she took out had left her unhappy and being with me wasn’t helping. She began saying I wasn’t what she wanted anymore. It was hard to hear especially because I thought we loved each other deeply.
This morning she finally ended it for good. I tried to fight for us again but this time it was clear it’s over. I can’t imagine life without her. I don’t know who I am without her. I still love her even though she’s lost her love for me. Everything feels meaningless without her I don’t want to do anything because we’ve already done it all together. Even my own bedroom feels unbearable because it holds so many memories of us.
It’s not just about losing her it’s about losing the future I dreamed of with her. I feel stuck lost and unable to move forward. People say to focus on yourself remember who you were before and try to move on. But the truth is I don’t even want to move on. I miss her so much that the thought of letting go feels like torture. I never thought I’d lose her and now that she’s gone I feel like I have nothing left to live for.

If you have family, you’ll always have something to live for
Right now you’re saying you don’t want to move on. Thst’s okay. You don’t havee to want that yet. Trying to force yourself to heal in week one only makes you feel worse.
This hurts because your whole identity was built around “us,” not because you’re weak. Right now your brain can’t imagine a future that doesn’t include her, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one waiting for you. You don’t have to want to move on yet; just stay, breathe, and get through today, one day is enough.
Healing isn’t about forgetting; it’s about slowly learning how to carry the memory without it crushing you. Sending you strength during this impossible time."
