    I recommended it, alongside others. I say, congratulations. Take some time to heal and then go find your true love.


    I know. I know it's the right thing. But that doesn't make it hurt any less.

    Didn't you post recently about wanting to be single?

    Sure did. But it doesn't make it any easier. When it actually happens, it sucks.

    Hang in there, kid; you'll be fine. It just doesn't feel like it now.

    One of the biggest fears we endure as humans is fear of loss. But somewhere in your life it's going to happen and it's usually not just once. Time will help you to muster up the strength to carry on without him.

    Stay strong! It hurts, you'll want him back and for everything to go back to normal (even though you were unhappy with that 'normal'). Cry, eat, be a slob in your pj's all day. That kinda thing. The first few weeks are the worst then when you get over the withdrawal of him not being around any more EVERYTHING will be better :) . You wanted to break up and you know it's for the best, now this is it. It won't be long before you start feeling the benefit of being out of that relationship. Try not to spend too much time alone if you can. You'll feel better soon. <3

    Go through the stages of grief. Don't hurry through it. Do not be ashamed nor in a rush to change whatever feeling you happen to be feeling and never apologize to anyone for being where you are in coping. Seek not for closure, but seek for opening - re-opening yourself and your heart to the goodness you find around you.


    And booze. Booze can be great. :)

    Your words could not be more true. We have broken up a couple of times in the past and always gotten back together. I get so weak and so lonely I end up groveling even though a lot of the reasons were breaking up or not because of me. I feel like the healing process can't even begin until he moves out which will be however long it takes him to find an apartment. He's gone, but his stuff isn't. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them.

    This^^ and make sure you don't just end up being back with him if you feel lonely, that's not fair but so often happens.
    Let yourself process it all and stay busy, I know it still hurts even if you wanted it, still have time and feeling invested in that person, good luck.

    Oh yes. We have done that a bunch of times. I wish I was stronger. This time I have to be. No going back. Thanks. ❤️

    Try and find something good to enjoy each day. If its something you couldn't enjoy with him - for example, if you love country walks and he hated them - so much the better. If its something you use to enjoy together, find a way to enjoy it on your own, or find another friend to share e.g. seeing a movie.

    This is a very good idea. I tried to do this today. I'll try again tomorrow. Thank you
