This was anything but a clean break.

Obviously, breaking up with a long-term partner can be complicated, whether it's dealing with the concrete logistics of moving out or the emotional adjustments of being single again. Even when it seems like the breakup was mutually agreed upon for both parties, it's quite possible that deep down, one person wanted this far more than the other, as was the case with this Redditor and his now ex-girlfriend.

His ex made it crystal clear following their breakup that she still had feelings for him and wanted closure. He tried to avoid these conversations, considering the fact that they already unpacked everything multiple times and knowing that it would not lead to anywhere productive. So, his ex took matters into her own hands, first reaching out to the Redditor's family for answers and then trying to book sessions with his therapist.

    I [28M] ended a year-long relationship with my ex [27F] after constant arguing and walking on eggshells. She's diagnosed with PTSD and has been in weekly therapy since I've known her. I've been seeing my therapist monthly for two years, and she's known my therapist's name since we started dating.

    The next day, I found out she had contacted both my mom and sister to process the breakup. While that frustrated me, I let it go because my family said the conversations were civil. My mom and sister have stopped all contact with her since.

    . Lazy-Discussio... 12h ago I get why you feel bad for yelling, but honestly, her actions were pretty disrespectful of your boundaries. It's understandable you were frustrated, especially after everything she put you through. It might have been better to stay calm, but you were trying to protect yourself.

    KiWi_Nugget868 • 11h ago . Your therapist would be having a conflict of interest with talking to your ex. Your ex did this on purpose. Either find a new therapist or tell your therapist you don't want any info about her, and you're placing a restraining order.. which you need to do
