How do I let go?

33F 39 M how do i let go? How do I let go? I know I shouldn’t be typing this. And I know I need to let go, but I’m most writing this to get some positive feedback and push to help me move on. About 3 years ago. I was lost. I didn’t know what I wanted in life. I ended going to a training for my job and ended up meeting someone. We hit it off and and talked the whole night. I ended seeing him and we slept together. From there, we talked everyday, and even though they lived across the country. When they would come here we’d see each other. And when I would go out there. They were going through separation with their SA and thinking back on it now, I was definitely a rebound. I think maybe subconsciously I knew but I couldn’t help it. i fell for them. As time went on, our relationship got more sexual and our conversation were very sex driven. So our conversations consisted of that. After a while, I started to not feel right about the situation and would ask them about it. They would always reassure me that I was in my head or overthinking. So I would try and let it go, we still talked but it was always me initiations convo. And my gut feeling still stayed. More and more I would try and talk and they would tell me I was in my head. To me it was more than sex. But they never told me that. The past couple of months, they have left my texts on read. Responding frequently but not always. Thoughts would race. Did I do something wrong? Is it because it was all about sex? Is it the way I look? And once again I was told to not over think. I got to the point where I couldn’t let it go. And so I had a more stern convo. This lead to me being left on read. I replied the next day and asked “are you really going to do me like this” They replied saying that everything that they are doing is not being done on purpose and that when they are home they just try to live in the moment. They said they don’t want me to think they don’t want to talk or hang with me. They just have a lot going on at home. Conversation was a bit normal then. I tried to be normal and have flirty convos. I was left on read. And still have recieved nothing. It just hurts. Because I’ve only asked for communication. I would be okay if they said “I’m just not interested.” Instead, I’m told I’m over thinking. I’m hurt. This was 3 years of growing attached and now I feel like I’ve been thrown away like nothing. Can anyone give me advice on how to cope? 33 F 39 M

For you mental state of mind you need to park this and leave it as they are clearly making you doubt yourself which is massive red flags. You should never think your not enough and was it your fault the person clearly wants the best of both worlds here and your the one getting hurt repeatedly. I would walk away focus on yourself.

It’s very nice to hear an outside perspective so thank you. He’s ignoring me like I did something wrong. And it absolutely kills me.

That's not fair on you to be totally ignored like that either.

Your intuition is always coming from a place of truth. If someone is interested they go out of their way to show it and give you the attention and time you deserve. You are clearly not a priority. Whether it’s because they’ve met someone in their area or because they are busy with life things. I’ve been busy. Literally working 70hrs a week plus a second job and had health and fitness priorities & still found time for the people I wanted to time with. Move on. You deserve much better. It’s ran it’s course and that’s fine. Some people are just seasons. And they pass. Invest your time and emotions in those who invest in you

Thank you!! Just can’t believe it would get to the point of straight ghosting. It hurts so much!!

It hurts now but stay strong iv been there and trust me it takes time to move forward. I saw a therapist to almost get my way of thinking back to focusing on me and that helped alot

I’ve been working on words of affirmation.

Ghosting is such a cowardly way of handling any situation. Just remember is literally HAS NO REFLECTION ON YOU and every thing to do with the level of maturity and quality of the person doing it.

Thank you!!! This had made me feel a tiny bit better. I felt completely crushed yesterday and I’ve been alone on a work trip! I hope one day he realizes what a shitty move that was 😢

Process the pain and rejection, let yourself feel it. Then move on cause your only hurting yourself. Never text them again. You can do this. The pain is just temporary

Absolutely! Once you realize how much more you deserve, and truly believe it. Then it’s easier to move on from people who aren’t willing to give it. That’s with any relationship type in your life.🤍🤍🤍

Get yourself busy with other things!
