I’m 53 and have recently broke up with my alcoholic boyfriend of 4 years. It’s been 3 months and I miss him and I don’t know why.
He seems to have moved on nicely while I’m the one feeling alone and missing him. When I told him it was enough of the beer and the pot and that I had enough. He later sent me a text telling me that he was romantically not interested in me or anyone else.

This has left me feeling hurt and feeling used. If he felt that way then why didn’t he tell me before.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Break ups are hard - we can miss any relationship, even the bad ones.

If he's moved on, maybe it's time you thought about doing the same?

Argh, this stuff hurts so very much. I'm glad you found us and hope you find lots of support here.

Very often addicts will just replace us with someone else. We never were their first love anyhow; the alcohol was. It does indeed suck.

Please know that how he acts has nothing to do with you.

At this difficult time, do every thing you can to take care of yourself; eat well, get exercise, and be kind to yourself.

Let us know how things go. Big hug.

I'm sorry, I know how painful that must be but the truth is you got in the way of his beer and pot. It was sadly easier for him to move on then address the addictions in his life. You deserve better.
