My relationship of 5 years ended a couple of weeks back. It was abrupt and unexpected. The guy called it off 30 days before the wedding and just 6 days after my birthday where he spent the week with me, like any other vacation. The dealbreaker being - my slight weight gain over the pandemic years. He said all this despite knowing that I have body image issues and have been also been consulting a therapist regarding the same. I used to confess to him about how I was body shamed at home by my own mothers and he used to comfort and support me. And that is why it is all the more shocking that he pointed this out. When I confronted this behaviour and called it out for being shallow and insensitive, instead of acknowledging and apologizing, he thought he wouldn’t be able to live with me in the future and hence, ended the relationship. I am finding a hard time wrapping around everything. How a man who I’ve known for so many years, turned into such a small person. And though I know that in saving his future, he also saved mine and as per my friends, I dodged not a bullet but a missile, I still feel a gaping void in my life. I keep looking back at our moments together (that were really good, perfect almost) and keep wondering how did it go so wrong.

I feel sorry for you. More strength to you . Power to you , strong girl!
I actually want to reach a point where I’ll feel sorry for him. This was his loss. Yes, I’m feeling it too. But this was a bigger loss for him.
