I dont like to talk about this bc its none of your concern, but anyhow you kinda have a play in it. You said that I was unhappy and suffering. It got me thinking. Nobody has ever said this before, but also I never really told anybody the absolute truth.
Our relationship was dead. We just didnt see it. We were about to break up sooner or later. Do you remember how I talked about it? I talked as if i was the person in the wrong, that i keep him blinded and wasting his life when he was the one doing that to me.
I was suffering so much and just sucked it up bc I wanted it to work. And you weren’t there when I was thinking things thru and deciding what to do. You were puking on the toilet coz mother gave you bad food and the next day you went to bed early while I was calling the ambulance for father. You didnt hear my arguments. The next day you even told me not to break up when we had like a 5-10 min talk before you went to work.
I wanted to break up bc I got so mad about the things he did to me. He demanded things from me that i couldnt fulfill. His love was conditional. As the years progressed, I got jealous of people who just met, got married in a year and have a baby the next. Why can they do it, but he cant?
For sure, he liked me, but not enough. He didnt change his routine for me. At the beginning told him to text me good morning, he said “too busy rushing into work”. During work no text coz he dont use phone at work, too distracting while his colleagues do. Only in the evening we would talk 1-3h, weekend same coz he got things to do. It was like i was and wasnt in a relationship. It didnt change over the years. And look this would work if two independent very busy people were in a long distance together, but i needed more. He was never willing to give it to me, only got pissed. It was also effort to get him to visit me. Like once the plan was for me to come and he would join back with me to germany. Then he changed his mind. I started crying bc i was so disappointed. I got him to go. Then it happened again. This time i didnt cry. I just stayed quiet and let it pass.
I begged him crying to have a pause or sth, but he didnt want, if we part, it would be a break up. There was no coming back. The plan was for him to move to germany bc i cant bc i needed to finish education. He should have moved to germany 2 years into the relationship latest, but he did nothing. Literally nothing. Not even starting to learn german. I looked into jobs for him, found him the most perfect job. He loved it. He did not apply. I begged him. Look just send the application. He said “soon soon” always “soon soon” instead he applied for some internal job that would send him to america. I asked him “what about us then?” He was like “uhm maybe we would have to get married” like he thought i would abandon my studies and just move. He was selfish, just thought of himself. We were not a team.
I dont know why he kept me around. We should have broken up way sooner. Instead we were together for 4 years and 8 months. A clear sign that i wasnt important was when he had a visit of a female friend. The day before he told me about it. It was planned and he forgot to tell me. I am ok with visits or do whatever, but why not tell me earlier?
I was too lenient and understanding. I just took it. I did ultimatums that he broke. He never faced consequences, only a whining girlfriend. He is the type of guy who lives for work and work only. I used to make a joke that his work is his wife, his hobby building robots is his mistress and i come third. It stuck to my head and now i can see how sad i actually was.
I cried so much, was stuck at home and wished to be with him. I really spend weeks at a time not leaving the house bc i was so sad. He knew and still i was the one to blame bc i did nothing with my life.
You see. Just a bad bad relationship.
Last time we spoke about him, i told you he wasnt so bad coz it seemed you thought he was shit. I told you “no he is nice. He let me live at his house and paid for everything” you said i was using him. By the time he finally let me live with him, something that i had wanted for a very long time, i was so broken. Idk just so defeated, i couldnt function well. He let me come to england bc else we would have broken up. At least we finally got to live together somehow before we broke up.
I see this relationship as a big waste of time sometimes bc we should have ended sooner, but we had nice moments here there. He was pulling me down with his inability to move to germany.
He said he was afraid to not find a job, to lose the new job, get unemployed, debts, not being able to integrate to new culture, language barriere, new environment scary. He wasnt willing to take a risk.
Ya maybe if i had continued the relationship, he would have moved to germany or probably not. When i broke up, i was so mad, even if he had moved to germany next week, i would still have broken up. I was so mad that he kept me around and dragged my mental health down and blamed it on me. I did everything i could, but it was never good enough for him.
