We were in a relationship for a long time (3.5 years) and I recently proposed to her to be mine forever but recently found out some truths she and her fam were hiding and I completely lost trust. The disrespect they were showing to me and my family as the date of wedding was getting closer went over the limit and my gut screamed no to have her be my forever. I’m absolutely broken, destroyed and feel like I can never love again. We made it through so many misunderstandings and built our relationship brick by brick. She showed me so many dreams and she and I planned so many things for our future. We survived 3 years of long distance relationship and I really thought she was my forever but I can’t stand verbal abuse and disrespect to me or my family. It just hurts. She was my life and I let go of some of her disrespect in the past and she improved but still did the same thing and she didn’t see any fault in it. Her family was making me guilty and blaming me that I’m like that so they said those mean things like who does that. I’m just broken inside. I can’t stop thinking she’s already with someone else. It’s been a month and I wanna reach out but I stop myself from doing so. It hurts to mourn my first love and the what ifs if reality was different. How do I recover from this? submitted by /u/justtakeachillll
