    Hello everyone,
    I am not new to nofap and my biggest streak was 3 weeks and i found out about nofap when ive been in a relationship so its been difficult.
    I am 18 years old , my ex broke up with me a month ago. we had a 11 months relationship(first relationship , lost virginity to her, she already wasnt a virgin) that we really loved each other, she broke up with me because i was too jealous and needy. we have been talking lately and had really good time together last week at my place(also had sex and had dinner together). we had so much feelings that night and we both decided not to talk for a week.
    I found out today she had sex with other guy and gave him a bj. i feel cheated and really bad because we both felt so great together and our feelings so strong when we been together last week. I feel so bad and depressed and she is not giving a f*ck about me anymore.
    What it has to do with nofap? Since the breakup i tried nofap couple of times and relapsed because feelings. after 4 days of nofap i felt so good and felt free and talked to women freely.
    yesterday i decided that from today i am streaking for 90 days full reboot with no porn and fapping , just so i can feel free. i woke up and meditated , did push ups , cold shower and read a book on my way to work. i felt like this is finally be my streak, and this will help me get over my ex . later that day she told me that she hooked up with someone yesterday , and i felt like all my world is going down, and i cant sleep now , thinking i will never get out of this loop.
    will nofap actually help me process out of this feelings? i know im charming(especially after couple days of nofap) with women but right now im feeling like ill stuck on this forever and will never meet another person like her.
    what can i do? will NoFap help me?

    Another thing to say,
    Do you all think I should try and move on and sleep with someone else right now? It's not feels natural for me right now since I still have feelings for her

  3. Yes, you should move on. She is clearly in a moment where she wants to have sexual experiences with other people, and that’s not uncommon at all, especially around your age. Knowing that she thought you were “jealous and needy” is great info, because those are things a guy can and should work on. It’s bad for relationships but also just makes you much less attractive. Keep going with NoFap and read about overcoming neediness. For some guys this is rooted in nice guy syndrome. I guarantee you’ll meet other women and have great experiences and relationships. Good luck!

    Thanks for that pal.
    But I have so much feelings and this is feels so bad knowing she slept with someone else. How do I overcome this?
    This is also one of the times I get the urge to fap because I'm down anyway so why not

    I mean you right, everything is a lesson. I believe that pmo will help me a bit buy i gotta process through it even though it can be really difficult.
    I have a lot of doubts about this journey but i know it will get me somewhere better, so i am willing to go through this. Honestly i can't wait to sex until marriage because i feel like sex is a good way connecting to people . the only problem was that she did that with a people she barely knew , and it hurts my feelings that after what we had last week she did that so fast.

    Really difficult overcoming and not thinking about this. Even when I'm doing other stuff like reading books watching TV and meditation. It still on my mind

  9. To be frank, youll meet someone, probably more than one someones who are much better and much better for you. Youre 18, life is only just starting, have a little perspective.

    If something like this hurt you this much, then dont go looking for someone else to make it better. Thats immature. Look to yourself, otherwise you will do this pattern on repeat for the rest of your life. If you find the strength in yourself to work through how you feel, accept reality for exactly what it is and not what you wish it was, and move on, life will get better.

    Nofap will not come down like an angel and take your pain away. But it will give you just enough energy and clarity of mind to see the world is not your enemy and that life goes on.

    And if you continue to respond to people with "yeaaaahh, but..." Then just stop, you dont want to get better, you just want attention. In which case, she was right, and you should work on being needy. Eventually you have to stop asking and just do.

    Hey guys,
    Apparently I'm still cant get her out of my head and I'm thinking about how much I miss her and about that she fucking other guys right now while I'm still in love with her.
    I relapsed after 5 days because of a bad mood which I broke down in. The 5 days helped me feel a bit better but I'm back to thinking about that I miss her and love her

  12. Hi Byhope,

    Porn will never be the solution of your problem. It's sad to see your ex left you like this, down and depressed, but perhaps you could find an actual way to win her over, or move on, without relying on a potentially addictive outlet.

  14. Hey, i really appreciate you sharing this ! That is very honest and brave.

    I suggest you break this awful toxic relationship with that girl (i had some experience in my life similar to that), she's toxic, or at least the relationship isn't healthy and is hurting you both in different ways.

    I also suggest that you start reading about relationships in general and how to be in a healthy relationship, not only in a romantic sense but also all kinds of relationships, study the topic of Dependency and Co-dependency in relationships, becs i can see some of that in what you shared, also study topics like Stages of emotional development and needs for every stage of life, Eric Erickson is great at tackling this and will give so much insights on what childhood needs weren't fulfilled for you and how they manifest themselves in your adult life ..

    Also if this looks difficult or unmanageable alone, a trusted adult who understands these topics, or even a counselor would be a greaaaat help. I know from experience.

    I know i wrote a lot and gave a big list of advices, i just want to help, i believe that these issues are a big chunk of why we fail in relationships and why we fall into compulsive and addictive behaviors like PMO, and that's the kind of self improvement you need to overcome both areas of life, focus on self improvement rather than trying to treat the symptoms of the problem (pmo or failed relationships) .. you're young and still have a long life to be happy .. i wish you all the best in life ..

    Thanks for tolerating my long comment, stay strong, brother !

    I also started NoFap hecause of a breakup. Only later on my journey I realized my motivation for NoFap were wrong. You're here for yourself - to make your life better.
    About the difficult feelings after a breakup - these are emotions, and we're often misguided by them. Think about it logically: She failed you by cheating on you, and therefore you deserve better then her. This should give you the drive to move on from her, so that one day you'll find a better relationship. Getting over a breakup might take time, but try to think about what I've said.
