It's very sad and your emotions will take a toll, but you have to set some goals so you don't fall into a funk. Do you have a good support system? Did he give a reason for the breakup?
assistant
Reflection of feelings,Question
no. he didn't told me anything. avoiding me all the time. i don't have a support system either.

Are you telling me he just said "I am breaking up with you" then never said why and left?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
he thinks everything is casual . we were happy. he is behaving like this all of a sudden. what should i think then ?
user

I think he doesn't know what he wants and thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. It is disrespectful to you. And hurtful. You say you have no support, don't you have friends? Family?
assistant
Question
i don't have a family. i am living alone in a city where am working. i have not met anyone because of the pandemic.

I think you might want to join an online support group then. Do you have any goals or aspirations that you are working on apart from your relationship? Because it will be painful to move forward, but if you have some goals, that can help you from falling into a slump.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
i think i should set some goals and engage in daily activities like meditation and yoga. i am thinking about contacting a medical assistance too. i can't overcome it by myself. i am really grateful for your support and kind words. i feel somewhat positive. i was in need of someone like this.

You are welcome. I am happily married now, but I had my fair share of breakups. They hurt my self esteem. I had to work hard to not let that happen. And do my best to grieve, but not get stuck there. If a man did not want to be with me, I took it hard as rejection, but in the long run, if he does not want to be with me, I don't want to be with him, but that takes time, and you need friends to encourage you.

He hasn't told you why, so the problem lies in him, not you. So do your best not to be hard on yourself. It is a shock to you now, but he never even communicated this with you over time, and he should have. that's what you want in a partner. If a relationship has problems, you want someone to talk about he problems and work on them and grow as two people. He chose to walk away, that's immature and not what you want in a relationship. That is actually abusive.

Thank you! You are so very kind! And you are very sweet too, willing to hear the truth! That is an admirable quality! You deserve a partner willing to work on problems, not a quitter. Do take care of yourself! Find some friends, work hard at that, call old friends too. Just to say hi, call an old aunt or uncle and check in. Find community. That will help you.

Yes! Don't hop into another relationship for a long time, months, even a year. Find out who you are. Be the woman you want to be. I prayed for my husband for a long time. God is good! :D I had a lot of bad ones before him!
