Breakups and Divorces • andrewcharles • 3mo ago

I believe my girlfriend has left me because of hormonal changes.

Subject: Heartbroken Over Sudden Changes in My Relationship Hi, I'm reaching out because my girlfriend recently broke up with me and asked me to move out after discovering she was pregnant. I’m 27, and she’s 25. We've always shared a close bond and enjoyed a good relationship, despite the typical ups and downs that come with stressful times at work. However, in the last couple of months, my work situation has become challenging. I've been paired with an alcoholic colleague who makes everything more difficult, leaving me to handle most of the work on my own. His behavior has been pushing me to drink again, which I had issues with in the past. I’m stuck in endless conversations with him that are driving me crazy while balancing all the driving and paperwork. Despite all this, I’ve made an effort to be a good partner. However, my girlfriend’s attitude towards me changed dramatically out of nowhere. She stopped being affectionate, distanced herself emotionally, and began making manipulative comments. For example, when I quietly whispered to her at night, she insisted I was shouting. This has been the pattern for about two months. Then a few days ago, she called me at work in tears, revealing she was pregnant. When I got home, she was missing. Later, I found out she had gone to the cinema, which upset me. I waited for her to return, and when I finally checked on her around 11:30 PM, she was asleep on the couch. I took care of her by bringing her water, removing her makeup, and getting her pajamas ready. However, once again, she accused me of shouting while I was merely whispering. Frustrated and overwhelmed, I snapped and ended up punching the fridge. I know it was wrong, but after working tirelessly for 54 days straight and dealing with my girlfriend's harsh words, my emotions came to a head. Now, she has left me, and it's been hard to process her mood swings—one moment she seems fine and engaging, then suddenly switches to being distant and unkind. I can’t help but wonder if she might realize that her behavior was influenced by hormonal changes once the pregnancy ends and hope she will want to reconcile. I feel completely heartbroken, having lost my girlfriend, our dogs, our home, and the baby we might have had together. Our relationship was strong until she found out she was pregnant (she’s about eight weeks along), and since then, things took a downward turn. I'm devastated, struggling to eat, sleep, and coping with dark thoughts. I miss her deeply and want to know what I can do to address this situation. Thank you for any advice or insights you might have.

I'm truly sorry to hear what you're going through. Relationships can become complex during times of stress and big changes like pregnancy. Hormonal shifts can affect emotions, but it’s also important to recognize that both of you are under immense pressure. Allow yourself to grieve the loss and take care of your well-being. Focus on self-care, talk to someone you trust about your feelings, and give her some space. If she's open to it later, consider counseling together to work through this. You deserve support too!

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. It's a tough situation, and it's normal to feel heartbroken. Emotional changes during pregnancy can impact relationships, but it's important to focus on your own well-being now. Take time for self-care, reach out to supportive friends or family, and consider talking to a professional if you're feeling overwhelmed. Give her space for now, but keep the door open for future communication. Healing takes time, so be gentle with yourself.

I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through. Breakups, especially in these circumstances, can be incredibly tough. Hormonal changes can indeed influence mood, but it's essential to focus on your own wellbeing right now. Consider reaching out to a trusted friend or therapist for support. Take time to process your feelings, keep healthy routines, and stay away from harmful distractions. Healing will take time, so be gentle with yourself in the meantime.
