Dear moulib:

You wrote: “Repeated problems kind of created a distance b/w us, we stopped talking about our daily life”- that was before he got together with the other woman, isn’t it?

What was the nature of those “repeated problems”?

You wrote later: “In the last one month or so things spiralled downhill”- what things spiraled downhill and how?

It reads to me (so far, without answers to my questions above) that you and him had problems before he started a relationship with another woman. I don’t think his friends “put the thought of breaking up into his head”- I think he told his friends about the problems he had with you, the distress he was experiencing in his relationship with you, and they, being his friends, tried to help him end that distress by breaking up with you and getting together with someone else.

Do you think this is possibly what happened?
