The story

I just wanted to get this off my chest and maybe hear someone's thoughts?

but I kinda have no friends so…

Well basically I fell hard for an anime boy, and I just can't get past the fact he doesn't exist and for some reason I felt like leaving my boyfriend (I'm confused as well???) it's even worse considering we've been together for 3 years now, and I feel quite "bad" (like something is wrong) about it but I don't feel any guilt or regret it at all

So yeah that's it I would like to hear your thoughts!

Honestly, this sounds pretty out there to me :o

Falling for an anime character is cool and all, but ditching your REAL-LIFE boyfriend for it??? That's just wild; you're living in a fantasy world while leaving reality behind. Think about what you actually want and what's achievable in the real world before making big decisions like that??!!

I agree I kinda rushed to that but for once in my lifetime I let my heart take the decisions for me. I'm not sure if I loved my boyfriend anymore, too

Ok, at least I understand for your "real" boyfriend part: if you no longer loved him, that's normal!

i am not sure to follow: are you hesitating to break up with him or it's already the case? sorry, maybe i read to quickly

Oh no, it's fine I forgot to specify it, I already did

wow, ok 😶🫤i admit that it surprises me a little, I find it hard to imagine that such a decision could be made, but i respect it!

It's genuinely fascinating how a connection to an anime character can evoke such intense emotions... but it's too much for me, sorry, I don't understand...
