Hey,

I'm 25 yrs old and was in a relationship with a girl for the past 8.5 yrs. I was very invested in this relationship, both physically and emotionally. We sure had our ups and downs but it was overall a net positive. I know you guys are waiting for the but, well here it comes.

Everything was going great till she reconnected with one of her childhood friends and her friend introduced gf with her circle, which i kid you not consisted of 5 guys. Even though her friend was engaged to someone living in another city, she was cheating with one of those guys from the circle, for which i despised her.

I told my gf numerous times, that i don't like it when you hang out with these people but her go to response was, they're just my friends and it's all cool. She used to drive to the other side of the city to just hang out with them, party, sometimes even spent the night at their place stating that it got late to go back to her house.

All this continued till one of those guys fucked my guys younger sister, and aftet that gf started making distance with them.

I am a patient guy who rather than taking things to ego just deflect them in humorous ways, which she initially liked about me, but later on started saying that i need to be mature and not everything is a joke.

Our convos became smaller and smaller, we barely used to talk, once in a while it used to be good, other times not so much, it was more of just her resenting me for the smallest of shit that I've said or done.

It came to a point where my pride said, "dude, you love this girl and want to spend your life with her but if things keep going like this, it wouldn't be good for all parties concerned", and i just said, we're done. She didn't mind at all, she just said okay and cut the call.

The break up happened around 5 montha ago, and i still think about her sometimes even though i try to drown myself in work. I want to talk to her and clear things out at times but whenever i call her, i get dissapointed by her just replying with hmmm and okay. Even last night, j tried calling her, she didn't pick up, i had to call one of our mutual friends and asked him to take her on call, she picked the call and kept ignoring me most of the times and just talked to our friend.

It's morning right now, and I'm still sad about it.

If you've read till here, thank you for being an excellent person. I'm pretty new to TRP, and would like advice as to how can i recover, how can i forgive but not forget and move on with my life.

Lords of TRP, lend me your advice and suggestions, whatever.

Thank you and regards
