I don't know what I did so wrong for me to suddenly walk out of my life. I did nothing wrong.I really thought about growing old with him, having a life with him and all that is gobe.

Part of me still feels like saying No, you can't do this to me, you can't, no.
Sounds like he made a good decision. Needy people can grow annoying.

As would I. Real talk.

It is likely too soon for the thought I will present to you. But if that last sentence is your true feeling, you need to address your capacity for a relationship. Relationship is not ownership. It is partnership. One in which you desire the best for your partner. With or without you.

Is there any particular reason why you haven't sought out counseling? Not to belabor the point about your prior post or anything, but reading that one and this one together makes it pretty clear that you're someone who truly should look for a therapist with whom you could work on these things. I'm sure you'd discover a lot about yourself in therapy and it would definitely make you a much better person. You could become the type of person who would have more successful relationships with everyone in their life. Don't you want that for yourself?

Some people don't mind being with a needy person.

Some people would rather have a more independent.

Some people would rather be the dependent type in a relationship.

Either way, you don't need to do anything wrong for a relationship to end. It is quite possible he is the type of person that wants someone more independent or at the very least feel like his equal. It is simply an incompatibility.

Also, the only person that should be the motivation in life and the source of stability is yourself. You should work on that.... that process in of itself would be a great path to moving on.

Reconnect? Maybe in court for the RO.

Move away, get a makeover, start a new life. You will find someone else you like better.

And that is why he left you.



He doesn't want to be your motivation and your stability. He doesn't want to be with someone so controlling that she feels like limiting him to only what she feels is the way to be.


No, you can't make him love you again, and it makes absolutely not a jot of difference if he has someone new. At this point, it is none of your business.



He doesn't want you any more and that does not mean that he can never be with anyone else.


Go out and try to find a man whose life's goal is to have a needy, controlling woman clinging to him making unreasonable demands. Or get yourself figured out and learn to be a bit more reasonable.

Just by reading your post I can tell why he dumped you. Time to grow up and stop being so needy.
