I recently broke up with my girlfriend and it’s been a month now. The reason why we broke up was that I was not receiving the love I was putting into the relationship and giving to her. I felt like I was her bestfriend (no romantic affection, gestures or compliments etc) whereas I treated her like my girlfriend (affection, gifts, compliments etc.)
I know the breakup was a right decision but I am just tired of giving too much into relationships and receiving way too less in return. Let’s keep the reasons aside as of now (xD since I think this subreddit is not the correct one for it.
Anyways, I’ve been feeling lonely and thinking that I will not get a girl like her again (in a good sense), that I will suffer like this in all my relationships (basically that I won’t receive the same kind of love I will give to someone) and these thoughts are destroying me from the inside.
I want to read something which will change my view and make me feel optimistic about my future love-life and that I am as deserving of love as the girl I give love to. I want to know that it’s going to be alright, that it will take time but I will be okay and have the best relationship of my life sometime in the future.
TL;DR – went through a breakup, going through a bad phase, wanna read something which will make me feel deserving of love, and reassure me that it will take time but I will get the girl of my dreams.
