  1. Hi guys it’s Nikhil here,

    I’m 29 years old and I will be turning 30 by this may, currently I’m stuck in my career cuz I don’t want to settle for small small things, hence I’m working really hard(still studying) to build a career that will help me to end up in a high profile job even in worst case, mean while my girlfriend who recently qualified her phd, it was a 3 & a half year relationship, now she says that she have lost the feelings for me, and she is not feeling the same way she used feel for me before, she told me this on 1st feb 2024, I don’t know guys, I’m just sharing this cuz, I’m feeling lost, I’d request for some suggestions, motivation, any kind of moral help would be appreciated.

    I'll use an analogy. It's like if you start to put together a puzzle and you see all of the pieces that are shaped differently. They all look different, but all of them are necessary to form the final result. Just because you may not be able to figure out how every puzzle piece fits together, in the end, once you take your time and put it together slowly, the final picture will be revealed.

    Such is the case for dating. Just because you haven't found the complete whole, that doesn't mean that there are no better partners for you. It's not a perfect analogy, but I hope that it makes sense. :)

    I’m in a similar spot. Not the high profile job part, because I’m poor and struggling to get by but the other parts, I identify.

    First thing; life is tough and throws you situations you don’t expect. Sometimes situations you specifically planned against and they happen anyway, some completely unexpected. Opportunities and obstacles spring up and turn your life around on a dime. The good news is, you’ll probably land on your feet, no matter what happens to you, and no matter what choices you make to impact the world around you. Not every chance or choice will be a good one, but you’ll have enough openings to turn it around and you’re going to be ok. Sometimes a thing that looks really bad at first can turn out to pave the way for the best thing ever. Sometimes the only good thing that comes of it is you learn something. The only wasted life event, though, is the one where you deny responsibility and keep doing what you were doing, and learn nothing at all.

    You’re telling us about this breakup in a porn recovery forum. That means you used too much porn, by your own estimation. Let me tell you, whether she knew about it or not, whether she thought it had an impact or not, your porn use has far, far more to do with the way you act and played a more significant role in this breakup than you know. I’ve been here too long and seen it too often; porn changes the way we behave and relate, for the worse. Porn makes us insensitive and selfish. Porn diminishes our appreciation for the real people in our lives. You can protest “Not me, I was careful, I’m the same kind of person with or without porn.” And you would be in denial. If nothing else happens from this sad chapter of your life, it should be that you are inspired to alter your habits, consequently your relationship trajectory, into something more wholesome, supportive, and strong than they were before.

    Onward.
