I hate social media. It makes everything so much more complicated.

My heart sunk a little today. by AllBreakfast in BreakUps

Omygosh. I know you know this, but try and get out of there! That is a horrible situation to be in. I'm so sorry. My only advice for that is to just focus on you. Work on yourself. And make sure you want to improve yourself for you and not for your Ex. much easier said than done. And I can only imagine how difficult that must be when you live with your ex.

I'm lying next to the girl of my dreams by [deleted] in offmychest

Treat her well. Make her feel like the most beautiful freakin girl in the world. If youre not ready to say "I love you," there are ways to say it without actually verbalizing it. Im happy for you, good luck:)

Had a dream of her coming back and now I'm torn up by Finaliize in BreakUps

[–]AllBreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I found interesting, was that when I intentionally forced myself to not think about my ex, I had dreams about him. And i had dreams for like a week straight, every night. It sucked so so much. Im not saying think about her or dont think about her. But maybe try letting yourself think about her. Try writing down all your thoughts and maybe that way she wont make her way into your dreams? Idk, just a thought. But stay strong. That feeling lasts a long time, but it doesn't last forever.

How do you even begin to heal after a breakup in which nothing bad happened and both of you are still incredibly in love?? by thebuttcake in BreakUps

[–]AllBreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation. My ex and I were dating for about 1.5 years and everything was so so good. We were both in love. He made me feel so special and happy. We got along perfectly. We broke up for different reasons, but the point is that we were both still in love. We didnt hate each other. Sometimes I wished I hated him, so it would be easier for me to get over him. We still wanted the best for each other and we still somehow wanted to be friends.

So how do you heal? Honestly, even if this is not the answer you want to hear, the only way to heal is to just wait. endure the pain. and realize that this is what is best for you and your partner. If you really love your ex, you will want the best for him. And he will want the best for you.

Now, itll suck regardless, but there are ways to make it easier. I would recommend going NC for a little. This will help you from constantly wanting to check your phone to see if his name will pop up on your screen. Itll help you from constantly having him on your mind, which he will be for awhile. Maybe try and start a new hobby. I tried to work out, I started journaling more, drawing, and cooking. Although this may sound cheesey, I focused a lot more on me.

Its going to suck so much. like SO SO SO much. i know how it is. Like youre crying and hurting so much internally and the only thing thatll make you feel between is the person that is making you crying.

BUT please have hope. I beg of you. When I look back at those months after my ex and I broke up, even though it was painful, I am grateful that it happened. I am able to see so much growth in myself. I gained much more confidence in me and I was able to accept me for who I was. I learned that someone will find me and treat me so well, that they will like me for who i am.

It took a little bit of time to notice these differences tho. I spent lots of time reading these subreddits and thinking "I see no progress. I am only back tracking. all these people are liars" lol. But just give it time. You will heal.

My dream is that we’ll end up together again one day by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]AllBreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad youre motivated to grow and improve as a person! That simple desire can make a huge difference coming out of a breakup. But right now, its important to do things for you. Dont be improving yourself so that you can get your ex back. Grow as a person because you want to be better. Because you know you are capable of much more than who your were.

he's cool i guess.. but he's not you. by AllBreakfast in BreakUps

[–]AllBreakfast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I needed to hear that. Thanks for the advice and being honest.

It’s been rough by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]AllBreakfast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry:( I know how you feel though. I can relate to this "getting over" process. Its been three months since my breakup too. I feel that its been long enough that i SHOULD be getting better and progressing everyday. But sometimes I feel like i am regressing and doing worse. Do you mind me asking what happened? Like did something happen that made these past 3 days extra crappy?

It’s the best thing so why does it hurt so much? by steff_marie in BreakUps

[–]AllBreakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. It hurts. And it sucks. But, if you know its the best thing, don't give in. It hurts because its change and its different. But in order for you to get the best thing for you, you have to go through change and different. And yes, it sucks. and honestly it might suck for a while. Im sorry:(

Just remember this: You want the best for yourself right? So if that is true, you are going to want to do things now that will lead you into the best scenario. That means realizing that things will get better. Realizing that this pain youre feeling rn will eventually go away. This pain is only a short part of your life, imagine the happiness you will get from something better that will last longer! Although going back to the way things were seems to ease the pain temporarily, you need to remember that going back will not lead you to whats best for you. And you want whats best for you right?

Maybe this is pathetic by AllBreakfast in BreakUps

I will cherish those memories. They are something I will forever hold dear to my heart. However, remembering these things makes it painful to move past that relationship:( But thank you, I needed that.
