Hang in there, comrade. Possible uplifting story below, but tagging it as a spoiler in case you’re not in a place to read it rn.

I got sort of dumped on Valentines Day two years ago. I had some famcy plans with someone I had been dating for about four months who stood me up and ghosted me. I didn’t hear from her for a month and she barely offered an apology. Two months later I met someone else for what was supposed to be casual thing but that grew to be a relationship with the most wonderful person I’ve ever known. We’re living together and hopefully spending the rest of our lives together.

I really needed to hear this - thank you for sharing, comrade. I’m happy for you, and I’m sorry you had to experience that. It helps to remind ourselves sometimes that the end of one thing is the beginning of another. I’ll try to stay positive. :meow-hug:

Thank you, comrade :meow-hug: I know I’m shamelessly sympathy fishing here and I kinda hate it… I just don’t have many irl friends that live anywhere near me and I hate going through this alone. Yall are some real ones.

Valentines is actually a really common time for breakups, both right before and during. People usually feel super guilty about their desire to breakup and get torn between wrecking valentines and doing it.

I’m sorry comrade. It sucks and 4 years is such a long time, it’ll take a lot of time to deal with too but I promise it will eventually get better.

Yeah I’m like doing everything I can to avoid turning on Eternal Sunshine and just crying my eyes out. Seriously, fuck Valentines day. But yall have already made me feel a lot better - I appreciate you, comrade. :stalin-heart:

After three years of dating, I had a partner who broke up with me right after my grandmother died to get back with her ex. I can definitely relate to what you’re saying in this thread about how you’re feeling about this.

That being said, having things end in such an abrupt, awful way gave me a lot of clarity. As much as it hurt at the time, I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to feel as stupid as I felt. After having time to reflect on that relationship and rethink my priorities, I was much more well equipped to be the best partner I could be when I met my fiance.

This part sucks. It hurts. It’s probably going to hurt for a long time. It does get better though, and you’re going to be better off for it in the long run

Fuck. :meow-hug:

If they’re the kind to dump someone on valentines day then maybe you’re better off without them.

What’s crazy is that it was just so out of the fucking blue, like none of this seemed like her at all. Made it kind of obvious she had been feeling some way for a while, but just didn’t want to talk about it. And I was just over here, thinking she was my forever person. Life goes on, I guess. I appreciate you, comrade :meow-hug:
