It was during my work, while I was away and I wasn't expecting it at all. We were living together, and when I came home yesterday all of her belongings were gone. No note or anything either. While I'm not completely shocked, I'm still surprised and I'm in deep pain. I had invested so much of myself to correct my past mistakes, make her stay as comfortable as possible, and take accountability for whatever my current actions and thoughts had been. I've called her twice with no response, and she's left our house group chat. It's over.
We had been in a difficult temporary living situation and there was a lot of pain and frequent strife in our relationship at times. She found out I had had sexual contacts with animals a little over a year ago, and I said was interested in future sexual explorations, however we had agreed not to talk about it while we were together. We had been planning for her to move out once she was able to to get a better job than driving for Uber, and then we agreed we'd be friends after that. We had lots of good and great times dating too, and I learned so much about what it truly means to love someone in my relationship with her.
I'm not interested in bashing her. I love(d) her. I can really use some emotional support and hugs right now though. I'm looking forward to my therapist appointment next week - he knows about my zoosexuality and understands my relationship dynamic with her too.
I know that I'll never get the answers to these questions, although I can't help but ask them to myself: Why exactly did she leave? Why not tell me about it? Why not leave a note? How long was she planning it? Had our last days, weeks, months together been real, or had she checked out and acted like she loved and/or liked me? How did it come to this?
I'm not looking for answers or speculation - I'm simply sharing what's been on my mind today. I'm not looking for advice either - Google has provided ample advice and I have my therapist. I'm not concerned about any kind of retaliation from her, it's not in her interest or character. Any words of support are needed though and would be welcome. I'd greatly appreciate it and it would help get me through the next few weeks.
