Hey all!
I've been through a difficult time last couple of months, I would like to hear your opinion on my situation. I broke up with my boyfriend whom I've been with for 9 and a half years. I met him when i was 22 and things were not going so well with us for the last 3 years. We've been living together but we couldn't find time to really be together, our sex life became miserable, but otherwise we were a good couple.. we trusted each other, there were no affairs or jealousy attacks, we were supportive at difficult times, we had plans for future, but we couldn't solve this one... This summer I thought i fell in love with someone else and I told him we can't be together anymore... but I realized really quickly that I was just happy that someone found me attractive after all these years spent with my boyfriend who really didn't show interest in me anymore. I wanted to be honest about it with him and I told him everything... it broke his heart. At first he called me, but he didn't want to talk about getting back together or about us, we both agreed it's best to wait a little and see what we really want. Two months after break up i called him and he agreed we should meet and finally talk, he promised to call me tomorrow, but he didn't. When I called him 5 days later he said I'm just bothering him. It took me few calls like that during October to realize that something is wrong. Than I found out he is dating 18 years old younger girl just 3 moths after we separated. He doesn't want to talk to me anymore and I stopped calling him. Initially I just wanted to have some kind of resolution after all these years we spent together, now it looks like I wanted him back. And I don't know anymore since he never gave it a chance...I really don't know what to think. I couldn't sleep, eat, do anything... I'm getting little better now, but it still hurts me really bad.

If he is not willing to give it a second chance,let him have his young girls and see what a headache/drama that can bring!

Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler!

Anyway I'd pour another drink, laugh at the good memories (however many or few there may be) and then face the next day with the vigor of a lion. Constantly thinking about him and your relationship isn't going to bring it back, and you'll never move forward if you keep looking back.

You thought the grass would be greener on the other side but it wasn't. You obviously hurt him very badly and now he has gotten over you. Leave him alone.

Yes, well I already did. It was not about greener grass you know... but about things that were not working between us........ and if he didn't found it important to do anything about to improve our relationship, I don't know why he stayed with me for so long

He was in a zone of comfort most likely skin.

The way it sounds to me, he's entitled to date whomever he wants.

What is there to figure...? You've broken up (you broke up with him), he's a single man, and he dates. Sounds pretty simple to me.

ok, but i don't think dating is simple. love is not simple. I've put so much in this relationship. i was expecting at least him to try and understand me, doesn't matter if we will never be together again... just a healthier closure..
