The universe is ticking me off

I 20f and him 23m had dated for abt 6 months. It was a very healthy relationship until the breakup. I often felt like my needs weren't being met and I felt alone. He is an avoidant and I have a secure attachment style

I went back and forth with clarity of the breakup so talking things through. That was two instances and it never ended well. This time though, i left him for good and told him I was never going to reach out to him again. I feel so glad that I left him bc ik my worth and what I want in not only a relationship but a friendship. I felt so drained that I would reach out and I hated HATED initiating because it made me feel inferior and less than, and ofc he knew that.

He told me that he needed time alone. He told me he needed to fix his traumas and work on himself. I told him he needs therapy and healing without me because I cant be in someone's life to fix them.

Idk why I miss him. Ive been reading, cooking, journaling, praying, talking with friends. I want to go back to therapy again once the fall semester starts too. Its been abt two weeks since i reached out and im so proud of myself. Im also quitting my retail job which I'm happy about considering God had given me so many blessings and success.

I was watching the fireworks (bc its independence day) and wondered too: does he miss me, will he ever reach out, does he even want me in his life, why did he not change for the better, was i ever enough for him?

I just dont know. His birthday is soon and I remember how seen it was on my bday when he would call me at midnight and be the first person to tell me happy birthday with him and his group of friends. Idk how to feel :(

Glad I walked away

I've been posting here and there but this is how I feel:

Im so glad I walked away from someone who didnt know my values, who didn't put in the effort nor time. Im glad I left him and he was shocked, his avoidant nature crept into our relationship then our friendship too.

Im glad I noticed the signs early on and didnt settle for someone who wouldn't notice me if I got into a car crash or if I was hospitalized. Im glad I didnt settle for the guy who wouldn't even update me about his day and left me waiting. Im not waiting anymore. Im so glad to not only be loved but knew my worth.

Im so happy for leaving him which sounds crazy because months ago I was sobbing in my hotel room, unbeknownst to how I would grow in these past 3 months.

His birthday is soon, im not going to reach out. He doesnt deserve my time or energy. I hope he thinks of me and regrets ever ruining the relationship. I'm going to treat myself and make plans as a solo date. I'm going to appreciate the people who pour into me.

I'm glad I dont have to spiral every time I think of him. Im happy I left.

Girl please be fr.

FOR CONTEXT :

I reached out to her to console in our ex and she tells me they were fwb AFTER him and I broke up. Idc what went on between them, thats not my story to tell.

He reluctantly said things about me to her so I confronted him where we then reconciled and I left him for good because I didnt want to continue this friendship any further due to lack of effort.

I genuinely was laughing bc:

Him and i ended on bittersweet terms and i wanna keep it that way. No contact but we mean each other well. Dont know what prompted her to say that im guessing her feelings were super hurt bc i said the truth. Him and i were together longer. Him and i had a stronger connection (w/o sexual activity) . And lastly, him and i actually envisioned a future together so her saying that didn't affect me at all. Lowk felt like she was shooting fireballs at me and i had fire resistant armor haha.

Girl bye😭

Is this normal??

I was applying for classes (external junior transfer) and i expected to take mainly finance classes. I was aware of the Second Language Requirement so im taking that as well but my courses consist of BLI 1100 and 1210 but I have a whole bunch of proficiencies/exp. I took over 60 credits in community college and I they all transferred but still.

Question

Hi! Im an American studying (yr 3) to get my Bachelor's in Finance. Im planning on living/working in Edinburgh. I also want to get my masters in the future. (Note: I want to be a financial analyst, so getting my masters would be really good as well)

Any advice on the University of Edinburgh, specifically a Master's in Accounting? Housing? Part-time jobs? Do they have graduate research opportunities i can get paid for?

Will my ex ever reach out?

He's a dismissive avoidant and I told him I was never reaching out to him again. I broke no contact more than once and honestly the first two times I did it out of closure to discuss what had happened post breakup, and the last time I snapped at him because I felt like the friendship wasnt working out (discussed my frustrations positively and he didnt do anything to make it better) and I deserved better in the ppl I pour into. We are in NC (better for me to heal imo)

Idk sometimes i think he will but then I know I'll have my anxiety up through the roof so ill take a moment to breathe. (Love secure attachment)

its also weird bc he insisted on being friends while we reached out but ofc he got scared, not my burden to bear or stitches to heal

Food for thought because I know he misses me (told me verbatim) and it took my healing process months back (broke up in april)

At least i know ive accepted the breakup and my worth. Any thoughts? I've been journaling,talking to friends and my therapist. I've also been reading and getting back into gaming again :)

Finding My People?

Good morning. I am a 20F (croatian), recent confirmed Catholic from DFW.

I feel terrible for not going to church as often as I used to. I LOVE going to church; the prayers, the reconciliation. But I feel like i haven't found MY people. At least in my area, there is no young adults to talk to post-church. I tried looking for events, but to no avail. I'm also just mentally drained from my job which I worked the night before. I just feel so bad. Does that make me less of a catholic than I already am? ​im thinking about going to confession sometime this month but I work on the days we have confession, and its so frustrating. It feels like a part of me is being ripped apart.

Overall, theres no Croatian Catholics in my area, but there's also no young adults in my parish as well. Maybe im not looking hard enough but im feeling like how I used to before I got confirmed: lost, confused, and out of place.

Any advice??

Relapse and now i feel stupid

Long story short, broke no contact with my ex about a week ago to check up on him. It was a lot of emotions, as he still misses and loves me. My heart dropped (hes avoidant, gave mixed signals etc..you can see who ended things, him)

We tried being open to a friendship and I gave him some boundaries. Then, he said he couldn't be friends with me since he needs to move on. Completely valid but I felt so stupid by reaching out to him and caring about him. ​

I also had a dream about him after I blocked him. I wonder if he's still stalking me rn..hmm....

I just need encouragement. I just want to be in a long term relationship with my forever partner and im tired of dating, tired of dating apps and mixed signals, tired of inconsistencies and burnout☹️

Dating Advice?

Good evening beautiful people! I just have a couple questions on dating as a Catholic woman

Context: I have been Catholic (20F) all of my life (cradle Catholic) until I was officially confirmed last Sunday at Pentecost. Throughout the ceremony, I had a deep sense of reflection of my identity and experiences with romantic relationships. I had recently broke things off with an ex (agnostic) who, although loved and supported my faith, made me realize I deserve better in a person. Here are some questions:

  1. What are you experiences in dating apps as someone whose waiting for marriage, as society tends to love hookups culture etc?

  2. where can I find my husband in this day and age. I dont do dating apps at all and I'm trying to find my circle of Catholic young adults. Im also not really rushing into dating immediately, as I want to take a break off of dating and focus on myself and my spiritual life. That does not mean I can explore my potential prospects

I look forward to seeing all of yalls comments, god bless!

Over my job

For context, I am a full time college student with a very easy part time job (~20 hours/wk) just trying to make ends meet to save up as much tuition after I transfer my Junior Year from community college:

I have been working retail since July of last year. There has been many ups and downs, but recently ive been kinda over it. I try not to take it too seriously since ik this jobs has been coming in and out every month. I just get sick of working here because of how slow the manager can be. Im okay with the customers and the work itself. Honestly just trying to make it till late July, which is feasible considering my financial situation. A lot of my coworkers take this job too seriously and it gets under their skin when things happen. Is this a normal feeling to get in the Workforce, when youre so good at your job, youre kinda over it? ​

I was also wondering if there were other additional scholarships I can add and how to add them because I could NOT find any information on the steps.
