I lost my job and my boyfriend of 3 years, 3 months ago.
I was a total mess but I understand why my ex did what he did. He was the love of my life but he deserves better than me. I'm always fucking up my life even when I try to be hard working and keep my head down. I think he'd just had enough of me being a fuck up loser. My biggest fear was losing him and I still hurt for him a lot.
We were so close, we lived together and I moved from my home town and started this new job so we could be together.
Whilst at this job I met a guy who was abit younger than me and we really got on but he had a girlfriend at time and I was still good in my relationship with my ex. I thought he was cute but I'm also loyal and loved the hell out of my boyfriend so didn't go there.
Now I'm back home with my family and we've started talking. He also broke up with his girlfriend a couple months before I was dumped. He's found it hard as well as he was in long term relationship with his ex too. She was very control over him and emotionally abusive and he's still learning about himself now and what he wants out of life.
He's 20 whilst I'm 24. I have a lot of the guys I used to work with in my DMS since I lost everything but this guy seems different.
We have a lot in common to get likes photography and the same music as me and his very close with his mum just like me.
He asked me out for a drink recently and said it wasn't a date but we can see were things go between us two as he knows we both need time to move on from the past but at least we can do it together.
I thought his approach was really sweet and considerate.
I only have a couple of red flags. He lives not far from my ex, he only works part time but does photography on the side and he wants to go back uni to do photograph and he's also slightly younger than me.
