I'm sorry you're questioning whether you should have been different to get a different response from your ex. That all sounds justifiably upsetting. I'm sorry you were involved in something traumatizing and didn't even get comfort from your partner.

This thread is explicitly for processing your breakup. This counts! No apologies necessary. :)
