My Ex Moved On So Quickly… I Can’t Help but Wonder Why It Feels Like I Wasn’t Enough
Post Body

Hey, I’m Katie, and I’m struggling a lot right now. I know I wasn’t perfect by any means, but I really did love him. I was never the "perfect girlfriend," and I made mistakes sometimes I got jealous, sometimes I overreacted but I always tried to be honest with him. I told him it made me uncomfortable when he’d like pictures of girls he had been with before, especially when they were shirtless, but it wasn’t about controlling him. It was just about how it made me feel insecure. And now, after we broke up, he unfollowed those girls... and then followed them again just minutes later. I don’t know why this stings so much. It feels like he’s moved on so quickly, and that hurts in a way I can’t explain. I’m sitting here thinking, “Why does it feel like I wasn’t enough?” I keep imagining her getting with other people and it just tears me apart. I’ve been crying every day, hoping for a second chance to prove to her that I could do better, that I can be the person he deserves. But he doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore. I posted something yesterday, trying to talk to him about how much it hurt me, and I mentioned how his mom had passed away, because I really do think that’s part of why he’s been so distant emotionally. I never meant to hurt him with that, but I guess it came out wrong. He told me that after losing his mom, he’s kind of emotionally numb, and I should’ve been more understanding of that, but instead, I just repeated it to him in a way that hurt his feelings even more. Now I regret it so much. I just wanted to say that I get it, that I understand why he’s struggling, but I don’t think I did it the right way at all. I feel horrible. I feel guilty for everything that went wrong between us. All the things that made me uncomfortable turned into arguments, and now I can’t help but wish I had just handled things differently. I keep thinking if I had been less jealous or more patient, maybe things would’ve turned out better. But now he’s gone, and I feel like everything that happened is my fault. I just want to fix it, but I don’t think I can. It feels like I’m stuck in this loop of guilt and regret, and I don’t know how to get out of it. I hate feeling like this like everything’s my fault. Maybe I’m just too emotional or too invested, but I keep asking myself why he’s able to move on so quickly when I’m still here, heartbroken and wishing for a chance to make things right. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with all these feelings. I just want to understand why it happened, and if I could’ve done something to stop it.
