I am so down after breaking up!

Question - (13 December 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 13 December 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice re my situation. 9 months ago I split up with my partner of 7 years because he walked out after a series of arguments which I think were mainly caused by him being depressed and at that time he was verbally abusive to me also. We had a lot of happy times over the years and I do really miss him. We have spoken on the phone a lot and agreed to meet up next week for lunch. He sounds quite down when I speak to him and I wondered whether this was because he misses me too.

I just wonder whether the way I am feeling is really normal? It seems to be eating away at me not seeing him and the only thing that makes me feel ok is the thought of seeing him. I feel exhausted from not seeing him and I'm fed up with just talking on the phone. I have no idea how it will be when we meet next week and I am quite nervous.

I have never experienced this before with previous partners, including the father of my children. I wondered whether this is me being in an emotionally weak state or just normal because he is the love of my life? Any ideas would be appreciated. I do worry about this because although at times I have felt happy and got on with life etc, when it got to about six months of not seeing him, some sort of anxiety seemed to set in and I just really wanted to see him. Has anyone else felt like this and if so any comments would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Well, i can tell you this from experiance. I have been in a reletionship where i was verbally abused, and it did not turn out so well.... You may really love the person, but what is better for you is to just let it go. & years is a very long time but you can only find better. If i don't help i am sorry, but i would just like to say that whatever happens happens. You might want to try it out again before you make your final decision...... well good luck and i wish you both the best!!
