Exactly one year after a bad breakup, I am able to share my story. Perhaps it will be support for other people who find themselves in a similar situation. After several months, when I have largely worked through my problem, I know that I shouldn’t blame myself for what happened.
He claimed that he didn’t need a piece of paper to be happy
I was with Maciek for five years. We met at the end of our studies. For a long time I thought it was the best relationship in my life. I imagined that we would become a married couple and create a family. Maciek, however, did not show any enthusiasm when I started talking about this topic. He knew I wanted to be a wife and mother. However, he convinced me that he was not ready for it yet. Moreover, after some time he decided that he did not want to get married at all. He said he didn’t need a piece of paper to be happy.
Our relationship ended in October last year. I was devastated. Suddenly my whole world collapsed. It turned out that the person I fully trusted and with whom I had a past had been developing a relationship with another woman for over two months.
I was devastated
When I thought I had recovered in the summer, I received shocking news. It turned out that my ex-partner got married to a new partner. Funnily enough, even though he is an atheist, he decided to have a church ceremony because his bride is a practicing Catholic. I was outraged. But also devastated. Someone who didn’t want to marry me got married to another woman almost immediately. Previously, it seemed to me that such stories only happened to extremely naive women who were stuck in relationships without a future. And now something like this happened to me.
I realized it wasn’t my fault
I had a nervous breakdown last summer. Fortunately, I started therapy quickly. I also got a lot of support from my loved ones. During these few months, I managed to work through my trauma. I don’t miss Maciek anymore, I’ve opened up to other men. I’m even glad I’m back to the dating stage.
I recently found out that my ex’s wife is pregnant. This information affected me at first. But then I started laughing about it. I didn’t experience it the same way as I did with the breakup and the news about the wedding. I realized it wasn’t my fault. I would never be in a relationship with someone I was not convinced of. Meanwhile, my ex had no problem with it. I just wish he cared about my feelings at all.
