I posted here yesterday about how rough my Monday was. That post might’ve been removed, but anyway, today things completely turned around. My Tuesday actually ended up being one of the best days I’ve had in a while. My vacation finally got approved, and surprisingly fast too. Considering I work in real estate in Berlin, that honestly doesn’t happen that often.

Tomorrow is my last working day, and then I’m finally flying to Bali. I had to book the tickets last minute, so they were more expensive than planned, but right now I don’t even care, I’m just excite. A friend of mine is helping me arrange a villa, so everything is slowly coming together. I really just need a change of scenery and a break after a pretty stressful period.

Has anything good happened to you recently? And if anyone has been to Bali, I’d really appreciate recommendations or hearing about your experience.

I (23F) was in a relationship with my boyfriend (25M) for about a year before everything changed. We had a very close and fast-moving relationship, and it genuinely felt like we were a great match. We were already talking about a future together and felt very certain about each other.

A few months ago, he was in a serious car accident and suffered a head injury. As a result, he lost his memory. He spent a long time recovering, and I supported him through it as much as I could, including helping him financially and staying involved in his life.

When he started to recover, he didn’t recognize me at all. I tried to explain that we had been in a relationship and what we meant to each other, but emotionally it didn’t connect for him. To him, I was basically a stranger.

Over the next few months, his memory didn’t come back, and he didn’t rebuild any emotional connection with me. It felt one-sided, like I was holding onto something that only existed for me. Eventually, we stopped seeing each other and went our separate ways.

The whole experience has been really confusing and emotionally difficult. It’s strange to process losing someone who is technically still there, but no longer feels like the same person.

I’m trying to move on, but I still feel stuck between grief and confusion.

My question is: how do you process something like this emotionally? Has anyone been through anything similar, and what helped you move forward?

TL;DR: My boyfriend lost his memory after an accident and no longer remembers or connects with me. We broke up, and I’m struggling to process it and move on.
