We have all experienced it or we wouldn't be chatting in this particular room! I was in a relationship for 6 years, he ended it in August. I am still crying at night, thinking about him all day and trying very hard to have no contact. We live in the same town and he and I haven't crossed paths yet. I have 3 children and I feel he took advantage of all of our hearts. I have ill parents and am taking care of them, I am a single parent and I work full-time. The great thing we had about our relationship, or so I thought was that weekends were free for us to spend together and we always had date night during the week. His kids were older, mine younger. He was always supportive of my career, my parenting and my strength to conquer adversity. I built a new house 3 years ago, he built one this year. I thought we would commit after he built and moved into his home this year. He lived in it for 5 months, broke up with me the 5th month and now has the home for sale. I called him and he said he was moving to be closer to his kids! They live 30 miles from him in any direction??? Anyhow, he is a MAN and made it clear it was easiest if we didn't have contact as I would read too much into that. I don't understand how men move on so quickly after years together. I am not naive, but they really were 6 great years. We gave each other space as needed, support always and independence to spend time with families as priority. I am just needing time to move on and it takes time.
Thanks for listening.

I WAS ALSO WITH MY EX FOR 6 YEARS. WE HAVE 2 KIDS. HE UP AND LEFT ME 3 WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE CONTACT BECAUSE WE HAVE KIDS. I ALSO DID SOMETHING VERY STUPID TONIGHT. THINK HARD...YOU KNOW. IT HURTS SO BAD WHEN A GUY DOES THIS THAT YOU HAVE LOVED FOR SO LONG. I BELIEVE MEN MOVE ON SO QUICKLY BECAUSE THEY CAN. WE HAVE KIDS WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF. WE ARE MOTHERS. THEY HAVE ALL THE FREE TIME THEY WANT. I'M NOT MUCH HELP B/C I AM GOING THROUGH IT TO. JUST KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR KIDS. THEY WILL BE THERE FOREVER. NOT A MAN OR ANYONE ELSE!!! SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM AND CHERISH IT. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING.
GOOD LUCK!
