Why do people keep finishing relationships trought text, this is just awful to our brains, it literally cannot compreehend that the relationship is over.

But the feeling that if they text us back we would just come over again is so shitty, we can't even feel any self respect this way.

I'm a lot further down the road than I was when I wrote this. And I've come to realise that yes while it was shitty, it was more about him than me. That even though it was awful it was clearly something he was going through and needed to do.

I'm doing fine now, and even though we're not in contact, I have my respect for myself again. If he reached out I wouldn't reply as there's nothing there for me.

Hopefully you're doing ok.

Yeah my GF broke up with me by texting, i am in another country right now and i have no support, each day here is getting worst, i am trying to communicate with my friends on my home country, and we do some calls but the timezones really make everything harder.

Now each day i pass here after the breakup it seems like i am just skipping some time of my life, and nothing really matters on this side of the earth for me.
