Posting this here to vent cause I don’t know where else to..basically 8 year relationship all but over with someone I wanted to be with forever
ignored the signs for 6 months and now we got 6 more months on this lease together and she already gone emotionally, cold winter incoming.
1. Biggest red flag that I let slide: following everything opening up after the pandemic - she starts hanging out with new friends who are all single, previously her friends were all in relationships, started off they were just going to get coffee and shyt but then..
2. Starts wanting to go out with them every Friday night, acting like it’s a girls only night but now it’s going to clubs with just them.
3. I find out other guys from their jobs are out at these outings, especially on nights where I’m busy at work or don’t have an option to go..oh forgot all these girls bi too
4. Girlfriend discovers after 8 years that she bi too, when I’m with her and her friends they all talking about how hot both girls and guys they are are now.
5. She starts saying she’s either too broke or too busy to to do stuff with me but got money for drinks and ubers when out with her new girlfriends, and went on two vacations this year with her cousins.
6. Her gay friend from work always talking to her about how hot their coworkers are.
7. When we hang out with my friends or alone she goes out of her way to act like a different person emotionally detached .
8. Spending 2+ hours in bathroom every night when that’s talking/intimate time in the past. Then when I try to initiate she says I only do when she’s half asleep, cold ass plan by her not gonna lie
Just the tip of iceberg. This a girl where we just got a dog together this year, been living together for years, and were having serious plans with buying a house/marriage in the very near future and it’s about to be thrown all away.
Swear I’m a goddamn idiot not seeing the early signs with the new friends and letting shyt spiral, I thought we had an understanding with each other but she just confiding in her friends now and I’m cut out emotionally, she still come home acting like it’s all alright I’m sure to ride it out til the lease is over.
If anyone reads this novel and are dumb like me, don’t be and fix shyt as soon as there’s a potential problem. Once she’s gone she’s gone
