Done, dusted, & heart broken.

So last night my partner broke up with me.

We have been living together for 4 months, and together for over 18 months. I have noticed that they were unhappy in their job since moving to be closer to me, and talks about moving away for a better career had been on the table. At one point she said she never wanted to break up, and wanted to try distance but it would be hard. Eventually she said - She doesn't think that I can do distance, due to my anxiety levels, and thinks I don't trust her (sometimes I just send a text to check in on her).

Basically, she said that we should break up last night, and that this relationship isn't healthy because we fight constantly (which is news to me). I mean all couples have small tiffs maybe once a week right? We never had huge fights. She said that she isn't good for me, because she fuels my anxiety.

Come the morning, her opinion hasn't changed and she still wants us to break up.

I just don't understand how a person can tell you they love you & kiss you goodbye in the morning... and by the night they are breaking up with you and revealing all these new emotions and thoughts about the relationship.

Im lost, destroyed, and absolutely heart broken. I don't know what to do about our living situation... and I don't know if I fight for her ... is that desperate and unwanted?

I thought she was the one & I was the one for her. Now im questioning my happiness in this town, what I want to do for a career.. if I should up and change because I feel unhappy.

This thread really depicts my thought process right now - all over the shop!

I suppose that the answer just should be, make sure you love yourself more than you love her. Though I wouldn’t take my advice, I’m impossible to love, so that concept is completely alien to me. I have been alone for the longest time and i’ll die alone, no one will even miss me.

Hi, welcome

One thing that poked out at me in your post is comparing your relationship with others. This should rarely be done. The individual in you and you gf should be remembered.

Eg "...because we fight constantly (which is news to me). I mean all couples have small tiffs maybe once a week right? "

To her they are fights, to you they are tiffs.

"I just don't understand how a person can tell you they love you & kiss you goodbye in the morning... and by the night they are breaking up with you and revealing all these new emotions and thoughts about the relationship."

Many couples love each other but cant live with each other.

".. and I don't know if I fight for her ... is that desperate and unwanted?"

No, if you want her it is courageous to fight for her. If she rejects her it is her choice. Do what your heart tells you.

If it doesn't work out, it isnt the end of the world. Find distracting hobbies, sports, trips, and move on. Both of you need to be happy for it to work.

All the best
