I'm feeling like shit right now so here's the ludicrously traumatic way my ex broke up with me. (this is going to be missing a ton of context since this will be just the break-up itself)

I flew out 4 hours to spend a week with her. paid for it entirely on my own. I wake up one morning about halfway through the week and she just breaks up with me. very out of nowhere for me.

I go outside to cry, and my nose starts bleeding. I don't have any tissues, so the blood kind of gets everywhere. when I go inside, she's concerned that I was cutting; this was the very last time she ever cared about me. tada, instant self-harm problems that I'm still dealing with to this day.

I go to my dog bed and cry while clutching our collar. after a bit of this, she gets annoyed and tells me that my mourning is breaking her boundaries, so she makes me leave. I look for the soonest flight back; it's in six hours.

she drives me to the airport, where I proceed to sit and cry for six hours while waiting for my flight, and then for another four hours while on the plane. I'm very sorry to the guy who had to sit next to me.

she later tells me that she knew she was going to break up with me even before we decided for me to come over. so why the fuck did I have to pay hundreds of dollars and fly over there just so she could break up with me and kick me out of her house? she didn't even wait until the end of the week to do it.

genuinely evil.
@maebubsy That is all kinds of fucked up, I'm so sorry. That's a totally unacceptable way to break up with someone.

I know I'm missing a ton of context, and it clearly affected you terribly, but on reflection someone like that doesn't deserve you. I would say they don't deserve anyone if that's how they treat people
@Bard yeah. convincing myself that I deserve better has certainly been a learning process, but we're getting there ​
@maebubsy You 1000% deserve better.
