You have nothing to lose by reaching out, and everything to gain. Don't let your fear rule your life.

Please reach out to him and talk to him and explain, maybe even send him this confession and hopefully things will get better with him

You are both young. There's a good chance that talking to him might give you a chance to repair your relationship.

The worst case scenario is that you reach out and he says he's not interested anymore. You don't get back together, which is the same result as if you do nothing. Send that man a text or give him a call.

As a man who has been in this situation i strongly sugguest you talkto him before it's to late. My now current ex waited almost 6 minths before saying anything to me and by the point I had already attempted to move on. It just further complicated my own relationships as well as my relationship with her. Overall it ended up not being well for either of our mental health. So please if you really care about this man reach out and speak to him. Communication is key in any sort of relationship whether it be friendship or something more. Explained what happened how you felt and maybe if u can identify early signs of it to help him recognize the situation. I 100% would have never moved on if i would have known then what i know now.

Just tell him what you told us and if he's the one he will understand

Bro, go talk to him right nowwwwwwwww.

If he said wants to stay friends is a good sign

You have any number of reasons to blame for why you did what you did. You literally have no-one to blame but yourself if you don't reach out and explain to him what was happening to give him the chance to understand and forgive you for what was out of your control. Don't be that person that disappears a whole possibility of their life through anxiety and fear. Grasp that hope that he'll understand and even if he doesn't, it will be because he doesn't want to rather than because he doesn't know.

If you feel bad about breaking his heart then till him that the pill messed with your head, you never stopped loving him and fix it

Don’t waste time saying you fucked up on Reddit that has zero chance of fixing anything

For crying out loud you actually have a valid excuse and u haven’t used it? If u had said I wanted to shop around then u leave him alone because then it comes off like you’re just settling for him

But if it was just the pill then go for it

I have no idea how I would react if my girlfriend did this and it happened to me Id be crushed

you’ve got this! if he’s the one, he will understand and will be missin you as much as you are missin him. update us though pleaseeeee

You are about to feel the full weight of the consequences of your actions.

The faster you talk to him the better. Few weeks isn't so bad, but there will be a time where he's totally moved on and your confession will be meaningless. Or worse, it will be meaningful AFTER he's spent his time healing, and you'll break things all over again. Faster is better here

No relationship can survive an inability to communicate your inner world, your fears, your beliefs, your sorrows and shame. Healthy relationships aren't all about good feelings and fun times. Sometimes, you'll have to share in the slog and the, oftentimes, harsh realities of being human together. Six months is a start, but it is only a beginning, truly. Deep relationships develop over years and living together will reveal everything that was hidden, in time. Even the things you weren't aware of in yourself will eventually start to become highlighted. That kind of relationship takes more than good feelings it takes bravery and humility. If you can't share your inner turmoil and doubt with him in an honest moment, your relationship never stood a chance anyway. Just saying the quiet part out loud.

You made a mistake, something we all do. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, especially since it was medical in nature.

It may not be fixable, relationships are fragile in the beginning, but you'll never know if you just assume and make his decision for him. Reach out and communicate.

Guys understand that the pill can mess with your emotions. Tell him how you really feel and what he means to you. The words you used to describe him here are perfect. He might not want to get back together and just stay friends, but at least this way you'll know for sure. Don't leave it as you'll come to regret not taking the chance later. Good luck 😊

I'll be the asshole here and advise against getting back together or trying to. I was in a similar situation where I was broken up with for a minor reason/lapse in mental judgement and I wish we had stayed broken up. Instead, it led to being years of trauma and abuse.

Unfortunately his trust in you is pretty broken now and if you guys get back together he could have the anxiety of, is she gonna break up with me again or will I have to walk on eggshells around her?

Sure it's anecdote and your results will always vary. Rooting for both of you to find peace but I don't think it'll be achieved together.

Reach out to him.

I'm 36 but the most regrets in life are things I haven't done and changes I didn't take. There are no things I've done I have regrets about.

If you haven’t, go have an earnest talk with him about what you told us
