Broke up after 5 years
Edit: Thank you for all the kind responses. it’s been hard but I will get through it. Losing him, I also lost my best friend but I have to love myself more. Your responses have been so helpful! Truly. I am thankful!
I (28 F) and my now ex (29 M) mutually broke up. I asked him if he could see himself marrying me or me in his life long term and he hesitated. There was no cheating or really anything toxic in our relationship. It was simply I loved him and he didn’t love me back. After this, it solidified he was wasting my time. We broke up and he admitted that he could never see himself marrying me. We live together but I will be moving out. Ive been devastated but he’s been just fine. My world feels like it’s been flipped upside down and he’s just going on like nothing even happened. I just wonder, do men ever regret things? its like I want him to see what he lost but I know I’m nothing special or relevant enough to be missed by anyone.
