Just broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years. I’m typing this from the bar, drunk.

This sounds like the start of a fantastic feminist chick flick to me! Like Legally Blonde or something only you did the dumping! I'm proud of you! ❤️

Girl you are young and you can move on. Take some time to take care of yourself.

VikingPug · 2020-06-14T21:56:01+00:00

You 1000% did the right thing. He may try crawling back. Don’t let him. Take lots of time for yourself.

And congratulations! 🍾🎊🎉 the world is your oyster.

When he acted like he didn’t know what he did wrong, that was an attempt at gaslighting. The whole “you should have said something” is BS, too. He knew what he was doing.

Good job!! Stay strong and lean on friends/family if needed; pour all that time and energy you were spending on him into yourself.

Don't backslide, even if it's tough sometimes, and hold out for what you deserve!!

Milobear27 · 2020-06-14T22:18:12+00:00

Aww I’m sorry he is such a slim ball. You never told me, you never told me! BS, personally I’m someone who has no issues speaking my mind and confronting people and even I’ve heard that. I’m sure he’s ready to twist the narrative. Let him, he’s the past now and now you know better. Thank you next. Ride the emotions and don’t forget to delete him everywhere!

I believe that sometimes when men break up with women they come to regret it. But usually when us women break up with a man we have a damn good reason (or multiple reasons) and we don’t usually tend to look back.

You probably put up with his minimal effort for longer than you wanted. Im proud of you for making an incredibly difficult decision for your own well-being. you’re going to be okay ❤️

Thestral-glow6 · 2020-06-14T21:58:39+00:00

Good for you! This sounds like it was a long time coming and is the best decision for you.. I hope you’ve got some good friends/close family you can talk to as you move forward. If not, then we’re here for you 🙂💗

Jessicajf7 · 2020-06-14T22:26:17+00:00

What a dick. He threw in the towel long ago. I'm sorry he wasted your time.

cremeblushers · 2020-06-14T22:38:24+00:00

Go you!! 💗 I know it may be tough now, but in a few months you’re gonna look back and be so glad that you didn’t waste another day or even hour with him. You deserve so much better and you’re gonna get it :)

Raquel22222 · 2020-06-14T23:01:36+00:00

What an asshole. Good job for ending it. Don’t feel like it was a wasted 3 years. Think of it as a lesson learned. Reflect why you let him treat you that way. Were there red flags you dismissed? That helped me

TimWhortons · 2020-06-14T23:14:36+00:00

easiest way to lose 150 pounds of useless flesh, you’re better off without him

when you feel up for it, call up your girlfriends and have that picnic he promised with them, you’re going to be okay he isn’t worth the headaches and heartbreaks

lavender01 · 2020-06-14T21:42:46+00:00

You know what? Well done. You finally dropped the dead weight. Time to move on and glow tf up. You're better than that LVM and now is your time to shine. He never wanted to hang with you? Now he never will again. You know your worth, dont feel bad that he had to find out the hard way, that's his problem. You got this girl! Also, be careful tonight if you're out alone x

You type really well drunk!

arianacurey · 2020-06-14T23:17:50+00:00

I just recently went NC with my ex of 5 years for the same type of shit. Am also in my late 20s.

I just wanna say, you got this. You’re better than that kind of treatment and you didn’t deserve it. I’m sure you’re great so it’s nothing that is wrong with you. It’s him.
