I loved him but he didn't want a relationship, and I respect that.

I hope you're doing okay - well done on respecting his wishes and not forcing something. It's unfortunate, but it's a testament to your character that you can look beyond your own pain. I hope your coming weeks are positive ✌️

Thanks so much!!!

Oddly enough I’m in a similar boat but I think he’s breaking up with me tomorrow. I’m sad but he’s been weird for two weeks now. How long were you together?

3 months. I don’t know what happened.

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that. I went through a similar thing last year when my ex left me, just weeks of waiting for it to happen. Hope you're doing okay!

A bit sad, but I'll be okay. He already found his new gf.

I'm sorry. it must be tough when your partner doesn't love you back but doubly tough if they have already found someone else to love, meanwhile you are left alone. i believe you will find peace though.
