We were together for 5 years (lived together too). Unfortunately, we broke up on December 22nd, 2025 (still had to spend holidays together, etc.). Unfortunately, he was cheating the entire relationship and it just became a pattern. After we broke up, we still had to be roommates until February 27th, 2026. He got on a bus and moved out of the state. It is 11:36 am on February 28th, 2026. I've been at work since 5 am. I got a call around 7 am saying that one of my grandfathers passed away this morning. I didn't want him to find out online, so I called him around 8 am, and that was the last time we talked. I still love him, I do, but I can't go back. When I worked my regular Saturday shift, some DoorDasher came in twice. The second time, I accidentally made an extra sandwich. I asked him, 'I made an extra burger. Do you want a cheeseburger or a hamburger?' It took him a minute, but he said 'cheeseburger.' I made it while I was making another customer's food. He asked my supervisor, 'Hey, what is her name?' Omar said, 'Kiara.' The DoorDasher said, 'Thank you for telling me.' When I was done making the food and he was about to leave, he literally asked, 'Thank you for the cheeseburger... can I get you anything?' right in front of my boss. I said, 'Oh, that's okay, thank you though.' And he just left right after. The point of this story is that I'm not ready to move on and it seems like everyone wants me to forget about Antuane, but it just happens, and I can't just forget about him.

o you think calling him this morning reopened something for you? like it reminded you he’s still your person in some ways, even if he can’t be anymore
i couldn’t just “move on” because someone showed interest either. my body was still in shock.
my boss and coworkers asked me “why didn’t you give him your number or something. he could’ve been the one.” I’m not ready I just got out of a 5 year relationship in December like no one understands.
that's pretty horrible and devastating, spending 5 years of your life with the one whom you thought you'll be spending the rest of your life with, but turns out they had been betraying you and stabbing you from behind all along. the good thing is atleast you didn't waste another 5 more or 10 more years with kids with this scumbag. i know it'll seem it'll be pretty difficult to move on specially at this stage but better person will come and you'll forget about him. head's up.
thank you🥰😭❤️
five years is a whole LIFE with someone. i lived with my cheating ex too, and having to share space after finding out… it messes with your head so bad. and then losing your grandfather on top of that? that’s too much for one heart at once i still loved mine even when i knew i couldn’t go back.
righttt thank youu it has been a rough 48 hours😭❤️
