After 3 years and 2 months it's all over. He dumped me and ended it all in ten minutes, 3 weeks before we were due to go on holiday :( Im devestated, I've tried to cope for 4 days and I think it's safe to say I have cried more than twice a day. He said he didn't feel the same for me after all this time, yet even on the day he did he acted as if he was still in love with me, even up to two minutes before. I just don't understand was going on, he told me he had tried, yet he hadn't even told me what he was feeling or that we might be in trouble, he just decided all of it on his own. It is a couples holiday, so there is still two other couples going and I've been told to go, yet I cant even face thinking about it. He told me he was defintely not going, then a couple of days later he told me we could work something out about it, then when I spoke to other people, they told me he wasn't going on.

I don't know what to do, I've tried so hard to make myself feel better and nothing has changed :( He told me to go alone, but how can he expect me to just feel okay about going a couples holiday? Please help me :( x

Sheesh :)

Oh hun I totally know how you're feeling. If you look at my posts you can see I've been a complete mess since my boyfriend of nearly 4 years broke up with me. He too did the same, told me he loved me all the time and was completely adoring of me, only to end it all in about 10 minutes outside my work.
Did he say how long his been feeling like this? I would advise against the holiday as there is no way you can go as friends on a couples holiday as you were once together. You will be there hoping for a reconciliation and if he doesn't feel the same you will spend the whole time feeling like crap - it will be no holiday!! If he is serious and there is no going back, you need to try really hard to cut contact. I know it's probably unthinkable at the moment, but trust me from experience - it really does make everything 100 times harder and you will not move on. I am still in touch with my ex and sometimes I feel fine with it but if I'm really honest I'm not moving on as I should and am just prolonging the process. You need to spend lots of time with your friends and look after yourself xx

-- Sorry just reread your post and saw that he said you should go alone, not that he is going too. Still this is not a good idea as you will be thinking about how it should have been with both of you there. If you do take a holiday do it with a group of single girl friends.

Nope he never said. Just told me he was feeling like it and he wasn't changing his mind. See he doesn't want to go then he does supposedly. It's so confusing :( I dont understand how you can stop feeling for someone but not even try and sort something out. Im going with his cousin & his OH and my best mate and hers, so they want me to come regardless of him going or not. But I honestly cant see it happening, but Ive already fully paid for it over 600 pounds and spent over 200 on clothes, I just dont know what to do. I've never been so depressed in my life. Really sorry to hear that you are going through a breakup too - it is honestly the hardest thing. I've been looking forward to this holiday since last year and it feels like Ive just lost everything :(

Sheesh :)

God it's like hearing myself! For the past 3 months I have been going over and over in my head - how can I go from being the most important thing in his life to no more than just another girl he knows in what seems like overnight??? I know we had problems, but it was always me that spoke about the problems and tried to fix them. Whenever I did have doubts I'd ask him and he'd reassure me that everything was fine, he had a fantastic time with me and that he didn't know what he'd do without me. People on here have told me that he must have been thinking it through for a longer than the week he told me he'd been thinking about it, but had obviously not let on. I know that this makes sense, but then I always thought that I could read him really well. I also think that my ex is very stubborn so it wouldn't have mattered if he'd thought it for a day - once he makes his decision that's it and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Maybe it just clicks in their brain all of a sudden! How much have you spoken to him since it happened? Have you seen him?

Maybe the holiday would do you good, have you got any single friends that can go too? BTW how old are you?

I dont know, maybe it just did click :( At the start of the week he was arranging with me to get his holiday clothes and was arranging a meal so we could all go out and arrange our plans. Then he just decided it would be no more. Ive spoke to him everyday...trying to just sort stuff but hes just not for having it. He has agreed to see me  but I know it won't be to get back together I honestly think thats that. Its honestly the worst feeling :( Im 20. I know Im young but when you've been through as much together as we have it feels a lot longer. I haven't seen him since, but one day he was telling me we need time apart to see where we were and now he's told me it's not going to change :( x

ETA - I dont have any single friends...they've all booked up with their boyfriends. I'm either going to be stuck here alone or stuck in another country moping anyway :(

Sheesh :)

I'm so sorry to hear this, what a dreadful shock for you.

It sounds like he has been thinking about this a while, but he tried to work through it. I'm not sticking up for him at all, but ending a long-term relationship is very difficult and it is not something you do easily. Regarding the holiday - I'm in two minds... it might be too painful for you to go with your friends but on the other hand as you have been looking forward to it for so long it might be enjoyable, if that seems at all possible right now! If you don't go, and you lose any money because of it, I think he should be liable. If he had doubts about your relationship the time to say it was long before you booked a very expensive holiday.

How were things between you before this? Did you have any hints at all ... did it truly come out of nowhere?

Hi chasin rainbows

sorry to hear about your break up Frown regardless of your age the end of a relationship really is one of the worst feelings in the world. At the grand old age of 38 I've had my heart broken a few times and although I know it doesn't feel like it now, heartbreak doesn't last forever. At the time though it feels like it will never end. You grieve, you heal, you move on and you find love again! Honest!!

As for the holiday, like Lily, I'm in 2 minds. It might be too painful because, as Sarah says you'll likely be thinking about what it would be like there as a couple. Maybe see how you feel in a week or so.

Take care hun - and you too Sarah. Hang on in there as it does get better I promise.

Sorry to hear about the break up.

I have been the dumper in a long term relationship and it is not easy to do at all - he was probably thinking about it for a while and in all honesty could have been going back and forth in his head between wanting to give it a go and ending it.  Things like this are rarely simple.

Sometimes it only takes a comment from another person or a light bulb moment in your head that can make you 100% certain about a decision.  One of the things that did it for me shortly before I dumped my ex was being out with him at his work drinks. There was a girl he worked with who I knew had the hots for him.  So she was sat one side of him and kept touching his leg and being all flirty with him and as I looked at the two of them I realised I wouldn't give a toss if he had an affair with her - she was very welcome to him as far as I was concerned.  I knew then I had to end it.

As for the holiday - what type of holiday is it?  If you're going to be lazing around sunbathing most of the day I'm not sure that's a good thing as it will be when your mind is going into overdrive.  If you're going somewhere where there are lots of sights and things to do or hyou can do some watersports, then I'd go as keeping busy will take your mind off things.

In Response to Re: So that's that then :(:


I'm sorry that you are going through this CR...  what a shock for you.

I am not surprised that you are feeling this way - it has only been 4 days and you must be kind to yourself, try to eat well and get enough rest/sleep.

What type of holiday is it and for how long?  Could you use the spending money you have saved to treat yourself to a short break in the UK instead?  Do you lie close t your parents, could you go and see/stay with them?

This holiday situation happened with friends of mine a few years ago - it was a ski trip - she broke up with him (cos she met someone else!) but after much thought he came anyway and had a great time!  If he had decided not to go, then she offered to refund him the money he had paid (as it was entirely her decisionthat the holiday was not going to happen for them as a couple) which I think is fair ...maybe your ex could give you your money back?  Just a thought..

How are you feeling today anyway chick??  xx

"and that's all i have to say about that..."

Sorry to hear about your break up, it really is such an awful feeling, many of us can sympathise with what you are going through. I remember my relationship ended with my ex, we had been together three years, it just seemed so strange, it takes a while to not seeing / speaking to someone you have been so close to for so long.
You DO get through it though hon, and better after all, that he has ended it than stayed with you when his heart wasn't in it. That's not fair to either of you.
Re. the holiday I would be tempted to say go - you have been looking forward to it for ages and a change of scenery could be good for you. Make sure you have plenty of distractions though, take some good books, book trips, do fun spontaneous things.
Take care of yourself hon, make sure you get pleny of fluid and eat well, you will get through this. x
