Breaking Up Would Hurt Less
Wasn’t a super-serious relationship, but the longest I’d been in until then (been going on 4-5 months). At first, he stopped initiating contact, it all came from me. Then, he stopped answering texts, phone calls, etc. When I finally asked him if he wanted to break up, he said ‘I thought we already were.’ Turns out he thought that by not initiating any contact or making any plans I would realize we were broken up. He’d been seeing someone the last two weeks that I thought we were still together.
If you want to break up, just do it. Hurts way less than this.
