“I started feeling extremely depressed a few days after he told me,” she said. “As a 24 yo, most of my girlfriends are in happy, loving, and committed relationships.”
“I thought I was in one too. I started feeling angry at him for being immature, supposedly “forgetting” about me and our 5-year relationship (according to him…I don’t believe this for a second.”
She’s upset that her boyfriend disrespected her like that, and she’s upset that his friends witnessed this because they have never been that nice to her and this just makes it all worse.
She’s angry, and she’s been having awful nightmares about her boyfriend in the aftermath. She’s feeling so confused because she and her boyfriend did talk a lot about getting married and what their future together would be like, so she’s not sure how they got here.
She feels humiliated, she feels ugly, she feels worthless; and she knows they’re going to run into the girl that her boyfriend kissed again since this girl is in his friend circle.
“It feels like the past 5 years of my life have been a huge lie,” she continued. “I feel the most depressed I have ever felt in a really long time, possibly ever.”
“Even before this happened, I was mildly depressed, kind of having a quarter-life crisis.”
“I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my future and thought my bf was the best thing in my life, the one rock I could hold onto while I was unsure about my future career, social life, etc.”
She certainly doesn’t trust her boyfriend anymore, and everything good that they had she feels is out the window.
She also knows that her boyfriend’s friends have been talking about him kissing that other girl, which only makes her feel more awful about everything.
She has sat down with her boyfriend to discuss what needs to be different from here on out, but she isn’t sure how to fix things and move forward from here.
