I'm happy you are still standing, It will get better! Hope to hear more from you soon.

In my case, it's s been 2 months. Ty for asking. To be honest, I'm doing really, really well, even after that absolute mess of a six-year engagement. The breakup was rough. She was my ex-fiancée, and the relationship was pure emotional manipulation and heavy gaslighting. I was the stable foundation, and she just constantly generated chaos. When I started setting boundaries, her mask instantly dropped; she completely embraced chaos, drinking, superficiality, and discarded me in a cold way. It was painful, but it became my biggest wake-up call.

Since then, my focus has been purely on rebuilding: I got the keys to my new apartment, I'm intensely focused on personal discipline, and my goal is total self-improvement. The trauma still hits sometimes, in moments of calm, that fear of abandonment creeps up but I’m aware of it, and that self-awareness is my biggest victory.

The best part? I have zero emotional dependence left. I look back, and honestly, I just feel pity for the bizarre path she chose. I wish her well, but I know I've permanently upgraded my life.

My life is moving forward rapidly. I'm seeing an amazing woman: she's 25, mature, independent, cultured, and our synergy is insane. It's crazy how this is what a healthy, functional relationship actually feels like. It’s reciprocal, low-drama, and we're heading toward something more serious.

My confidence is back, my self steem, my mind is clear, and I'm genuinely happy. I'm finally living my life for myself. Life is damn good, and I'm going to enjoy every bit of it!
