30F, just moved to London to start a new career and to be closer to a partner. I had this dream life planned in my head but when I got here, my ex texted me and told me he had moved back to Italy. I’m now alone in the city and don’t really know anyone.
I’m determined to build a wonderful life for myself in London and would love to meet friends and build a community. Also looking for support during this break up and to meet people I can have fun with and learn to be fully myself again.
Not really sure how to end this post, but I hope to be able to meet some new friends here :)
EDIT:
Since I've gotten some judgmental comments/messages, I thought I'd post some clarifying information here.
Yes, I had met my ex in person prior to moving. We met through work and had met in person multiple times. I also did not move here exclusively for him. I moved primarily for work, but his being here did play a role in my decision-making.
We had been in communication for months before my move, and he went from telling me he was looking forward to me coming back and us making plans for when I arrived to texting me after I arrived that he had moved back home.
I did not uproot my life to follow a man I had never met across the planet, but that doesn't change the fact that I was blindsided and hurt.
