I've made it pretty far in this life. I graduated college. I have a government job. However… I have no friends and the person I was in love with for 4 years is gone. They feel more like my ex wife than my ex girlfriend. They were there for me through everything and I supported them all the same.
Our breakup had nothing to do with immediate problems. We talked out all of those issues. I had a mental break down over mistrust starting in January. Lashed out at their parents for trying to set her up with another guy.
Anyways. She's dating another guy. Had a small window of opportunity between our final break up in April and late May when she got with him to fix things but I was blocked and believed that she was being pressured by parents not to talk to me. Had I known what I know now I would have understood that it was simply because of my behavior that was caused by my mental issues. I don't know what to do anymore. I was fighting an imaginary battle against non-existent people I believed were hurting her. In my mind I was fighting to protect the one I love but in reality I pushed them away forever.
What awaits me in this life because I isolated during my college years is work… many attempts at online dating… marriage if I'm lucky with a person…. And then a long life of feeling unfulfilled with my reality. I can't stand the idea of decades here without her.
I just want to go home to be with God, and if he allows me I'd want to start my life over. Regardless… living here is so painful for me. Yeah everyone says that there are other fish in the sea…. but I do really wonder if I'll be happy with someone else. I worry my pain isn't temporary but something that will always be there as the years go on. So I figure… why not end it now so not to prolong this extreme pain. My life had always been hard… but I always had a companion to rely on to some degree… especially so in these last 4 years. Now they are gone. The person I shared my whole life with. I'd do it all over again. But I wouldn't dare lose them next time.
Is my reason for wanting to leave bad? For those who have experienced similar tragic loss of a loved one due to mistakes, have you recovered? I mean I know a lot of people here want to leave the same as me but I assume others have better reasons. But I think mine is pretty decent. I lost my soulmate who loved and cared about me and every waking moment without them is extremely painful.
