Hi all,
I'm new here. I'm having trouble moving on after a relationship. Just as I feel I'm doing well, something happens that sets me back.
I dated this guy for 9 months. I really let him in because he said all the things I guess i wanted to hear - just little things that made me think he'd be sticking around.
About six months ago now he broke up with me. His mental health wasn't great and he explained it as barely existing in his own life, so it was too hard to exist in someone else's.
We stayed in contact as he said he hadn't told anyone else about his mental health, only me, so i was concerned and yes, I also still wanted the contact. I know that.
Fast forward two months, he said he needed sex - so of course he started dating and letting someone else 'exist in his life' - without making any changes to help his mental health.
I had really been doing well but yesterday he unfriended me on fb. Not only unfriended me but blocked me. Three days before that he'd liked a post I'd been tagged in, and then gone back and liked two posts from a couple of months ago. Suddenly I've been blocked?? Why? I'm confused and it's set me back emotionally.
Any advice? I know I should probably have taken him off my social media a while ago anyway but I just couldn't bring myself to do it... I know I just have to 'move on'. I guess I just needed to type this out so thanks for reading if you made it this far!
Just for background, I was married for 15 years. Single for three years. This was my first relationship since the marriage. The first time I had let someone else in again. I don't know if that's why I'm finding it so hard to get over.
