Ending it

It's been 4 months, and it's just not the right relationship for me. We're great as casual, but it's not going to go anywhere long term, so it's time to move on.

It sucks to be breaking up right before the holidays. We've both RSVPd to each other's work holiday parties, have bought gifts for each other (2 that I bought him are non-returnable), and were invited to each other's family Christmas things. Oh, and he was going to be my date at a friend's wedding in a few weeks that's a 9 hour drive away. I effing HATE going to weddings alone, especially small ones where I'll stick out like a sore thumb as the only single person under the age of 70.

Blah. Merry Scroogemas. 

 

 

Re: Ending it

  • Bummer, but I'm glad that you recognize that it isn't going anyway and are getting out now!

  • hang in there! try and make some fun holiday plans with friends and stay busy
  • I feel you! I just broke up with my boyfriend last Tuesday. I felt terrible and really hoped he didn't get me any presents already. But if you know it's the right thing you have to move on and just do what's best for you. Good luck!
  • I respect you for doing the right thing. I super duper respect you for not dragging it out a few more weeks. You're a strong woman. But even so, breakups suck. ((hugs))

  • Logistics aside, it's SO good that you recognized four months in that it wasn't for you.  Honestly, you should be proud of yourself for staying strong like that.

  • Good for you for getting out now and not letting it drag on a few more weeks for the sake of the holidays/a wedding - that's a strong move.  HUGS!
  • I'm sorry. I give you credit for following your heart instead of dragging things out and stringing him along. Can you bring a friend to the wedding? Maybe another single girlfriend? That could be fun.
