Happiness is a choice, but how?

Nothing I do in my daily life really makes me happy anymore. It feels more like numbness than sadness, like I’m just trying not to feel too much after my relationship ended.

I keep distracting myself with YouTube videos, studying, food, and sometimes the gym. I know I should start doing things that make me happy and move forward, but I feel stuck. I don’t feel like I’m functioning properly anymore.

I feel broken, not in a dramatic way, but in a quiet way. Like something inside me has changed or disappeared for good.

I just don’t know where to start.

I know I can live my life without him, but the truth is… I don’t want to

People around me think I’m too attached and that I’ll ruin my life because of this breakup, but during these past 4 months, I’ve still been trying to move forward. I focused on my studies, thought about my future, and tried to become a better version of myself. Yet every day, I kept wishing I could share all of it with him.

From the beginning, I knew I could survive with or without him. It was never about needing him to function. I just genuinely wanted him beside me. I wanted to share my life with him, my small moments, my achievements, my thoughts, everything.

The painful part is that he always thought I didn’t really need or want him, while in reality I loved him so deeply that I slowly started losing my sense of self trying to prove it.

I still love him, even though the way he left made me feel like I meant nothing to him.

I’m finding it difficult to feel happy

He was always the person I wanted to go to when life got hard, but little did I know it would feel even harder when good things happened.

Sometimes I just want to call him and tell him about the things I’m finally achieving… to hear his voice, to share that happiness with him the way I always did.

But then I remember he left.

I think what hurts the most is realizing how deeply someone became part of your life. Not only in your pain, but in your joy too.

I’m just finding it difficult to feel happy without him.

I got an interview

Hey everyone,

I received an email from one of the supervisors I contacted regarding my PhD in Translation Studies. She said she would like to interview me to get to know me better and discuss my research topic in more detail.

I feel quite nervous. What kind of questions might she ask? Has anyone gone through a similar interview?

He broke up with me after 7 years together and 2 years engaged. Strangely, I didn’t feel this much pain at the beginning, but now it’s hitting me so much harder.

Is it because he hasn’t reached out at all since then? Does that mean it’s really over?

I keep thinking about him and wondering if he’s already with someone else, even though his reason was that he wanted to deal with life on his own.

I just can’t understand how someone can say they’ll never leave you, and then leave so suddenly.

He broke up with me after a 7-year relationship and 2 years of being engaged, 4 months ago. His reasons were vague, but he kept saying he doesn’t want this life and that maybe he isn’t good for me (which I don’t believe is true…).

Now I have an opportunity to continue my higher education abroad. It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time, but I pushed the idea away because I wanted to stay with him, marry him, and build a future together here instead.

Now I feel stuck. Part of me keeps thinking he might come back, and if I choose to go, it will mean the end of us forever…

But he chose to leave me…. Idk I keep feeling that I should contact him and see his reasons clearly

What should I do…

I can feel deep down that I need to become a better version of myself, but I’m so emotionally and mentally exhausted that I can’t keep up with it.

I want to change because the person I am right now doesn’t serve me anymore. But at the same time, I feel stuck like I’m holding on to something that’s already draining me.

I’m looking for a guitar tutor in Jeddah with reasonable prices. Preferably someone who teaches beginners and can help with fingerstyle. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Why don’t you marry the woman you love?

Why keep her waiting for years, only to walk away as if she meant nothing.. after she trusted you, believed in you, and stood by you while you figured your life out?

Why make her feel foolish in front of her family for believing in something that never became real?

And yes… part of the blame is on us too

for not seeing clearly,

for holding on longer than we should,

and for believing in men who were never fully sure about us.

My boyfriend of 9 years broke up with me in January, and it happened without a clear reason. Before that, he had been ignoring me, which left me feeling frustrated and hurt…. I stopped talking to him for a week. Then he suddenly said we should break up.

That day, I removed him from everything. I was deeply upset—not because I didn’t want him anymore, but because I still did. Now, I keep wondering why he hasn’t reached out at all. Does this really mean it’s over?

I deleted our chat on Instagram, but during the first week of April, I saw a notification that he had liked a message in our conversation. It didn’t feel like something that could happen by accident, and it confused me even more.

I think what hurts the most is that in the past, when we broke up, I was always the one who reached out and tried to fix things. This time, I’m holding back… but deep down, I wish he would be the one to come back and talk to me

He left me… and I’m still struggling to let him go.

I do love him. He was my person. But he still chose to leave.

I’m so tired of waking up every day with this heavy feeling in my chest, trying to go through my normal life, going to work, doing everything I’m supposed to do… but still feeling like I should fix this, like I should talk to him, like maybe I can change something.

I keep thinking I need to reach out.

I really want to talk to him so badly.

Can someone really move on in 4 months? We were engaged and I can’t stop thinking about maybe he is with someone else

I am so tired

I’m asking because I still hope that we will find our way back to each other…

It has been four months since my fiancé left, and I feel like I’m just waiting for him to find his way back. Nothing really happened between us, except that I know he was dealing with a lot.

And I’m scared of contacting him.

Please advise me.

It hurts me every time this thought crosses my mind.. literally every single day. I love him deeply, and I truly believe he loved me too. But he chose to leave, and I still don’t understand why. It felt so sudden, like everything changed out of nowhere, even though I believed we were meant for each other.

I keep thinking… what if he’s already with someone else? And that thought just breaks me.

Please help me It’s been 4 months, and I’m still in a really bad place. I don’t know how to stop these thoughts or move forward.

I only fully realized this after my fiancé ended our 9-year relationship four months ago.

Looking back, I can see that I wasn’t really living my life—I was building it in my imagination. I had this clear vision of who I wanted to be and the life I wanted, and honestly, a lot of it is achievable. But something in me keeps getting in the way of actually doing it.

For example, I’ve struggled with being overweight for years. I’ve always dreamed of having a fit, healthy body. But instead of consistently working toward it, I somehow convince myself that I am working on it—even when I’m not. I don’t know if that makes sense, but it’s like I live in the idea of progress instead of real progress.

It’s the same with other things. I want to learn an instrument—guitar or violin—but I immediately feel like it’s not for me, like I’m not the kind of person who follows through.

The hardest part is realizing that I’ve been consistently unhappy for a long time. There’s always this feeling that something is missing, and I’m honestly exhausted from living like this.

I wish I could reset my life and start over—this time actually doing things instead of just thinking about them and hoping they’ll happen.

I really want to change. I want to become better than this version of myself.

But right now, I just feel stuck.
