My [30M] ex fiancée [29F] of 8 years has told me she thinks she might have made a mistake ending things.

I'm spun out right now.

Basically I've been in an Airbnb the past 3 weeks, she said she wanted a break so I moved here to give her space, during the first two weeks we met up a couple of times, I wanted to see the dogs etc.

Last week she decided it was best if we split up and honestly she was relieved, she said a weight was off her shoulders and she was looking forward to the future.

Now I can't afford to live in the area we do so was going to have to move country to live with my parents again, I had just started a new job but I've handed in my notice, told all my family and friends that I'm moving back and got a job interview lined up for Monday. My boat is due on Friday. I had to move quickly as I don't have enough money to stay in the Airbnb and have a week remaining already paid.

Two days ago she says that she isn't sure she made the right choice and to be honest it really pissed me off, I had told her when we started the break to really think about things and speak to her therapist before deciding what she wants. I told her that when I saw her after deciding to split she seemed happy and hopeful, I was okay with the decision because it was what was best for us both.

She spoke to her therapist last night for the first time in months and called me after like we were getting back together and I'm just so fucking confused, I have literally pulled the plug on my life over here and grieved the end of the relationship this past week and now she pulls this? How am I meant to respond to this?

I don't know if I have everything down right, my head is clearly all over the place, I've had COVID this past week so I had that clouding my brain too.

Part of me still wants to go back to my parents and be alone for a bit at least, I don't know if I trust she wants me back or just misses me being there and helping her etc. I think she might have made the decision irrationally but she has said repeatedly over the years that she wants to be alone (while depressed so never believed her, this time she seemed in a good place so believed her)

Also it really sucks cause she is kinda claiming both dogs, part of me really wants to separate them and have one, I get they might miss each other and she is saying she needs them for support but.. I kinda do too right? Plus I have been paying for everything, food, insurance, vet bills and medicine plus taking them walking probably more than she does. She said she's going to get a dog walker but I don't know how she's going to afford all this..

There's probably more I can write, I'm not thinking clearly but I really need to sort my head out, I was 100% going back and now she's trying to get me back I don't know what to do.

Tldr: my ex fiancée of 8 years broke up with me and a week later wants to get back together after I've pulled the plug on my entire life. Wat do?

I left her but I still love her

Hey guys!

This is my first time posting anything on reddit, I don't even know if anyone will read this but I have no one to talk to so her we go

3 weeks ago I (25M) left my girlfriend (20F) after 2 years. I didn't want to leave her but I felt like she started falling out of love with me. I talked to her about it and she said that she still loves me.

I don't feel like she does anymore and here's why...

I haven't seen her in 6 months, when I ask her she says she is busy with college and exams and stuff but when she gets the chance she is out with her college friends. Doesn't even tell me, I just know from IG.

We rarely talked after she went to college (which is 7 mins away from where I live btw). At first she would talk to me non stop, wanting to know how my day was, she would do anything to see me, always saying she misses me and she loves me but now, none of that.

When I confronted her, she said she will "try" to do better. We talked for a while after that but I felt like I had to go, she is not the same person anymore.

Right now she is going out almost everyday with her friends, funny how she now has the time to go out and college is not a problem anymore.

I don't know what to do now, I don't know if I made the right decision or not.

Should I talk to her again or not?

Should I stop looking at her IG?

Thanks for reading!

TL;DR: I left my girlfriend because I felt like she is not in love with me anymore, she says she does but her actions don't.

My fiance (F23) told me she wants to brake up with me (M24) after 8.5 years.

So on Monday evening i got a text from my fiance about how she feels we need to talk about something and asked me to call her. I called immediately and straight away she told me she wants to brake up.

I moved abroad in January and we have been in a long term relationship after that and have seen twice. The brakeup came out of nowhere as i tought things are better than ever with us (disregarding the fact that i live abroad now). My plan was to be here for a year and then return but now i have no reason to go back.

My heart is shattered and i feel so lost and afraid. I love her so much. What should i do? I don’t really have friends here yet and am so lonely. I feel terrible thinking about that I should have not left here or how I should have done things differently. She says that the reason is that she just doesn’t love me like she used to.

TL;DR: I got dumped after 8.5 years and feel bad.

don't want to lose them

My(24) partner(25) of 4 ½ years has recently been thinking about their gender presentation and how they identify etc. I initially reacted kinda badly but after talking about it a little bit I'm fully on board with whatever they want to do. However they're understandably freaking out and unsure of what they want from life and whether we could work out so I offered to give them space without contact for a week to mull things over. It's only the second day without speaking and I'm really struggling. I want them to be happy and be able to explore and experiment and to have someone to support them throughout it, but if they feel that they can't do that whilst with me then they might end our relationship when I check in with them at the weekend. I'm preparing myself for the worst but I'm hoping they want me to stick around, even if just as a close friend.

TL;DR: Partner wants to experiment with gender possibly without my support, I'm feeling lost

Need advice on my relationship

Its been about 5 or so months since we started talking. We’ve had many abusive drunk fights, she once punched me in the head while I was driving and tried to swerve my car off the road (I know I should have already left). Even just writing this down makes me realize that I should have left long ago, but now I’m feeling stuck and scared of what will happen if I try to leave. She doesn’t try to understand my pain whatsoever, we have both called each-other awful names. She seems to constantly play victim which enrages me, but then love bombs me while I’m sleeping with texts. I’ve made a lot of mistakes as well but it seems I’m the only one who is truly apologetic.

She’s also threatened to stalk me if we break up and makes comments that I can’t break up with her.

I’m struggling here, this is the same girl who constantly says I’m the love of her life and have treated her better than all of her exes. She has said she wants to have a kid with me since the first few weeks we started talking. It’s very hard for me to give that up because all I want is a family.

I’m spending every day strsssed and feeling much lower than before the relationship started.

Someone please help me, I want to believe that she can change and we will be a happy couple. But the other half wants to run away. I’m feeling codependent at this point. Any advice is much appreciated.

I know most of you are going to say leave but if anyone has any insight to whether this possibly could get better I would really appreciate it.

TLDR: My gf seems to be abusive, I want her to change, it’s been months of constant trauma and my mind feels scrambled. Desperately need advice.
