Thank you for sharing. Reading your story felt much like reading my own. Simply knowing we are not alone helps. Thank you for your courage.

My girlfriend of 7 years recently swept me under the rug after more than 6 months of abusive silence treatments and agresive withholding. She was the love of my life finding me after a unpleasant 21 year marriage. Until the day we broke up I was confident our lives would be spent together. We just needed to get through this pandemic together and the other unpleasantness going on and we would be stronger than ever.

She ended the relationship in her head more than 6 months before and neglected to tell me.

We are in this together. I wish I could help everyone that is experiencing now what I have had to deal with all my life.
