We were together for six months (I know, stupid short) and we talked about our future together a lot. I had never felt so sure about something and she picked out rings, talked about how we would conceive and raise our children, the whole nine yards. I never doubted wanting to spend the rest of my life with her and she never led me to believe she felt differently. I proposed to her a few days before we moved to a new city in August and it was awesome. Then we moved to the new city and a month later, she started pulling away.

We took a break then she admitted to wanting to try an open relationship. Of course I was devastated but I also felt desperate to keep our commitment so I gave it an earnest go. A month later, she broke up with me and is now solely dating the guy she wanted to open the relationship for in the first place.

We stayed friends for a month (while she was in her "I don't know what I want phase"), but of course, that's dumb, so I finally established no contact three weeks ago when she confirmed she was still dating the other person. Haven't talked to her but kept checking her social media profiles. Don't worry, I stopped that two days ago.

Things are getting better like you said they would, internet, but I still have days that are just really rough. To add to it, I moved to this city for her job and now find myself in this city without many friends, let alone friends I can just dump my baggage onto.

So, do you think a therapist would be beneficial? I'm putting forth a lot of effort - volunteering, going to meetups, meeting new people, working out, trying out new hobbies - but sometimes I wake up and have a really rough day and I'm tired of 'burdening' my friends by talking about it all the time.
