Incapable of feeling romantic emotions for more than a few months.
So my bf just broke up with me. When he said it honestly I didn’t really feel anything, just gave him a thumbs up and went back to my work. Okay maybe I did feel something...I know that it sounds cruel but maybe I was a bit relived?Our personalities and interests all matched really well, it’s just, after the first 5months of being together I stopped really feeling anything romantically towards him. We’ve been together 3 years now and most days feel like an uphill battle. He has mental health issues and I feel like overtime I’ve turned into more of a mother figure than a significant other, and I’m so tired, maybe that’s why I didn’t really feel much when he suggested breaking up? Anyways I’m just a bit confused, was I actually in love to start with or was it lust? Maybe I just couldn’t bring myself to feel things romantically really cuz I was always too busy caring for him. I’m hoping that it was that. My previous relationship fizzled out similarly and I wasn’t a carer in that scenario so I’m a bit scared that I’m incapable of actually loving someone as more than a family member or a friend(which I still consider my, I guess, recent ex to be).
Hey. What I've heard from you up to now, sounds like you felt like you had more of the responsibilities of a caretaker than a lover. Did I get that right? In that case, I understand why you might have felt relief when y'all broke up. Maybe that really has something to do with the feelings that faded away. Or maybe not. Just some questions for you t...... reply
