Missing you blaming me

This is my first time here.  Looks like we can just share a story.  My 6 year relationship is ending.  She still wants to be friends because apparently my friendship is extremely important, she still tells me she loves me, but when it comes to a relationship she says it's too late for me to change and she doesn't want to try again.  I can't help but think about the past and blame myself.  So many things I could've done different. My whole house, everything reminds me of her.  She still has her belongings here.  The worst part is now she's spending all her time with a guy that the person she was a year ago would've never dealt with.  My life is a wreck and feels meaningless.

Tfvol7,
I am sorry you are going through this.

What would you like to do that would be helpful to you?

Good question. I wish i had an answer. I don't find joy in anything that I used to. She called me yesterday evening. She was completely drunk. She bought a kitten with this new guy and started crying that it was suppose to be me and her getting a pet together and that she hated me for it not happening. But if it were my choice we'd be together right now. All i ever tried to do was make her happy.

Hey, I am in the same situation as you. I'm not sure how old you are or how long you were married, but I am 69 and was married for 38 years. My wife moved in with her daughter, who has never liked me. Now I want to change for her, but she won't let me and doesn't trust that I will change. I raise my voice when I get excited (angry) and am too negative about some things. I blame myself for not trying to change sooner. I feel like my entire life with her has been wasted, except for our son. I loved her so much, I did not bother to cultivate friends - I just did everything with her. I think you will get some good ideas and support here. So far I have, and it has only been 4 days.

Yes it does sound like similar situations. I've always been an introverted person so I never had a huge circle of close friends. She was my best friend so I directed my entire life towards her. I've gone from seeing and speaking to her 24/7 to hardly any contact and sometimes drunken angry phone calls. I know I took her for granted, and she hasn't been in a great place and maybe I didn't help her enough. I'd give anything to have our life back.

I worry this is happening to me too. I’ve been married 4.5 years.

Big hug Tfvol...would you guys be willing to try some therapy together?
If she's calling you even when inebriated it sounds like this isn't finished?

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
