So... I cut off my friends with benefits of 3 years

I cut off my friends with benefits after three years and I feel... hurt. It was a necessary break but I’m not understanding my feelings.

At the beginning of this year, I found out I was pregnant. When I found out, i was about 5 weeks, so very early. When I told my FWB and was obviously upset, he questioned the validity. Saying that we had sex before that. And we did, but we also had sex two weeks after which not only lines up with the timeline of the pregnancy, but I was not having sex with anyone else.

He was so okay with the abortion and didn’t help out on the cost. The day after I took the pill I was in so much pain and described it to him but he didn’t take any initiative to make sure I was okay...and I wasn’t. I couldn’t breathe, the cramps were excruciating, and I was alone..

Fast forward two months after that, I went over and had sex with him (like a dumbass I know) and I cried after he fell asleep. I felt disgusting. I felt hurt. I felt like he didn’t care. He didn’t bring it up, get me anything, or even ask if I was okay since having the abortion.

I didn’t talk to him for a few months and then tonight I reached out because I thought I was ready and don’t have anyone else. I was just on my way to his house but I turned around and sent him a paragraph of how he made me feel, then blocked him.

I don’t know why I feel hurt and sad, but I do. I know we were friends with benefits, but I feel like he should’ve done more to make me feel okay after the abortion because we were actually friends for 3 whole years. He didn’t even help with the cost...

Has anyone either had an experience with this or any advice on how to get over it? I’m feeling lost and sad especially since this wasn’t actually my boyfriend.
