Break up in late 20s
Broke up with someone I genuinely thought I would marry. I had already told my parents about her, and now they keep asking when we’re getting engaged. I don’t have the heart to tell them that we broke up because I know the moment I do, they’ll start looking for someone else for me.
The future feels really scary right now. So many “what ifs” constantly running through my head. It’s gotten to the point where I avoid talking to my parents because every conversation somehow turns into marriage.
Life has also started feeling really repetitive and boring lately. I wake up, go to the office, then to the gym after work, come back home, and end up doom-scrolling all night. I’m trying to meet new people and reconnect socially, but honestly it feels exhausting. Between work and everything else, it feels like I barely even have time or energy left to build new connections.
I don’t know if anyone else has gone through something similar, but right now I just feel stuck.
