Met my person, had to breakup because of illness and grief - fuck dating
rough time. after dating for several years and meeting several people, i've met a favourite person and now it's over and I'm struggling to cope. is right person wrong time a thing? probably not, but this feels unfair.
met a girl a bit over a year ago. instant compatibility, loving chemistry, we are both very engaged and started spending time 24/7 together. not in an intense lovey-dovey way, but building a secure relationship.
shit was amazing - spent years myself in therapy, learning to "love" or whatever the fuck they tell you to, learning to be a healthy partner and overcoming childhood trauma. and now I get to meet my dream girl? eat this, depression, I finally win.
month 9 rolls around and close family member of dream girl gets a cancer diagnosis out of nowhere. very likely fatal, guy is slowly just dying and withering away ever since.
dream girl is crushed - see her lose joy in life, overwhelmed. me being supportive, trying to help her in any way I can, but it's crushing to see lose her spirit.
month 12 rolls around and after snapping a few times, she breaks up. she just can't give me anything because her life is completely overwhelmed by grief, having to take care of that family member for the next months until his unavoidable death. i try my best to console her, be available, but she's made her decision.
spare me with the "if she wanted to she would"-bullshit, life isn't a relationship tiktok.
so now i'm heartbroken, a situation out of my control, i can't even be mad or angry at her and I just feel her pain and just have to sit through this terrible time. fuck my life man.
and I do not wanna date again and I'm tired of meeting new people over and over and over and having the same superficial relationships for 1-2 months #relationships source
