Still heartbroken over neighbor guy that I’ve previously posted about.
It’s gone on two months since we’ve last communicated.Today my heartbreak reached a new level when while I was waiting on my mother to return from a doctor’s appointment, I saw him leave for work. Then shortly after he left, (a woman who I suspect lives with him) …came out of the house as if to look for him…by then he wasn’t in the area anymore and she went back inside..
Shortly after, he came back home ..(.perhaps he had forgotten something) and then left again.
I suspect that she had called him and told him…
At first, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he wasn’t lying about anything and really had been single…that since he shares a house with other guys ..that maybe she is one of their girlfriend’s….but I have seen her in the window of his room a few times…
When he’s not there, I see the light come on and off and movement in his place.Sometimes when he returns home, I see him and her interacting..I know that it’s her..she wears pink quite frequently.
I keep trying to convince myself of an alternative reality where he meant everything he said, that he’s just as heartbroken as I am (he is unaffected and walks around smiling and genuinely a happy aura surrounds him) that he will change, apologize, and come back to me.
I am soo heartbroken and distraught. I thought I was slowly getting over him, but I realize that I was only fooling myself. It hurts to be treated with such disregard…and to have people pretend that they love and care for me, then to just ghost me and discard me like garbage.
I love him. I thought he loved and cared for me. I am still very confused. Was it all pretend…even though we had over 8,000 conversations and discussions about alot of things…via text..since the beginning? Up until he blocked me, whenever I called, he would always answer or get back to me when he could.
He still watches my house going to work…
Was it all for nothing??I just don’t understand.
Everyday I struggle to respect his wishes and not confront him..It’s hard to let go…especially when he lives in such close proximity.
I want to move on, but I don’t know if I am capable or will ever. Maybe I’ll be one of those people who never move on. Despite what many might think…there are things each one of us will never move on from.
I feel like I deserve the hurt and pain. Maybe it’s my fault that I been used, and discarded like trash.. he isn’t the first to do such a thing to me.
I cry alot.

I am sorry that you are still heartbroken, but I am glad you are posting about it again. It can help you to express yourself and see that others are reading your words and want you to get better, wanting you to recover from a broken heart.
I will start with the ending of your original post: “I feel like I deserve the hurt and pain. Maybe it’s my fault that I been used, and discarded like trash.. he isn’t the first to do such a thing to me. I cry a lot.“-
– You are not like trash, and you don’t deserve to be treated like trash. Trash has no feelings, such as hurt and pain, but humans do feel hurt and pain, and therefore you, as a human being, should be treated with compassion and consideration for your well-being.
When one person uses another person selfishly, the fault is not with the one being used, but with the one doing the (selfish, unjust) using.
“Was it all pretend.. even though we had over 8,000 conversations and discussions about a lot of things.. via text.. since the beginning? Up until he blocked me, whenever I called, he would always answer or get back to me when he could“- I’d say that over eight thousand conversations that he chose to have with you means that it was not all pretend on his part.
“Was it all for nothing?? I just don’t understand. Everyday I struggle to respect his wishes and not confront him.. It’s hard to let go…especially when he lives in such close proximity. I want to move on, but I don’t know if I am capable, or will ever“-
– (1) the fact that he is your neighbor and you can see his house, even the inside of his house, from your house, is a serious obstacle in you moving on. I wonder if you can install heavy, dark curtains over your windows that face his house, and secure the curtains in place, so that you can’t move them any time you feel compelled to do so…?
(2) There is a psychology today article called 5 Ways to Move On From an Ex You Stil Love. I am quoting from the ending of the article: “5. Love yourself more- Ultimately, moving on from a relationship that wasn’t working is about loving yourself… choose to turn the pain into a gain. Every relationship, if we let it, can teach us something about ourselves and give us greater clarity about what we need… Know that a relationship isn’t a failure just because it ended. If you grew as a person and learned something to move your life forward, then it served a purpose and was truly a success.”
Maybe reading the whole article will be helpful for you?
