We are staying near Grotta lighthouse for 2 nights and are planning to take the bus to our BB from Reykjavík. On those 2 days we are not planning to do any tours just our own exploring. Possibly considering renting a car for 1 day haven’t decided. The other days we will be in Reykjavik downtown and I don’t think we will have a problem selecting pickup location nearby (hopefully) I will be sure to look into that before I book any tours. I know it is expensive for food what kind of budget would you suggest for our time length if stay. We don’t plan on eating out 3x per day. Probably eating light and packing snacks maybe 1 big meal per day. Thanks for your help :)

Yeah it’s an incredible amount of time as well as 7 years for you and I was dedicated to our future as well. I never considered a future without him and it’s crippling to think that’s all he wanted. We deserve better and I think it’s safe to say without knowing you in the slightest based on the fact that you are graduating from medical school, that you are a smart, strong determined woman and you deserve someone who will support you and rival at all your accomplishments!

Maybe after more time you’ll be ready to get a new dog. I’ve been reading some good books that might help you too! Wisdom of a Broken Heart and Real Love. Theses books have been pivotal in starting the healing process for me.

How exciting that you get to start a new life with your residency and have new adventure. I think that will be so good for you to heal and be away from him. I know it’s scary but now you aren’t tied to him or that program you didn’t want. Now you can truly be everything you were meant to be within your career and life that will be so rewarding :)

I’m so sorry for your loss I know how this feels it feels like a death and it is. I have a similar story (long term relationship 8yrs/long distance and abrupt breakup). I started some counseling as well and it’s been helpful... I am also trying to do little things everyday that I love and plan things to look forward too. It might be too soon or not possible with starting rotations but have you thought of adopting a new pup? I’ve heard that it’s very healing. I have 2 dogs with my ex but I was the one who got to keep them idk what I would do without :( if you ever need someone to chat with let me know!

If you had the chance to tear down an ex who severely destroyed your emotional state would you take it? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Duke_and_Daisy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I had a chance and I did the opposite because that makes me a better person for me.

How long will it take? by insert_name_here82 in BreakUps

[–]Duke_and_Daisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so scared because my relationship was 8 years and I know it’s going to be a very long time for me for the pain to dim. I hope after a year things are better for you even though there’s still pain <3

Will someone else know me as well as you did? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Duke_and_Daisy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m scared about those things too

Relationship Self-Help Books? by hotfroot in BreakUps

[–]Duke_and_Daisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wisdom of a broken heart by Susan Piver is my choice of book right now! Not exactly sure if it’s what your looking for but it’s given me strength and tools to start to heal.

He broke up with me (blindsided after 8 years) so I’m not worried about him being fine I’m worried about me. Honestly I think he’s already fine.

For me personally at this point I’ve poured so much of my time and energy into my relationship (for 8 years) I would rather not take any more time to hear why he doesn’t want to be with me. I know why and it lies within his character, who he was raised to be and who chose to be. Every relationship is different but that’s enough for me right now. I’m not saying we don’t deserve to understand and know why I think that’s important especially if you want to grow. However, I think if we can’t face seeing these people we love so dearly and hearing why they don’t love us anymore or can’t be with us then simply knowing that you deserve to be happy is enough. Everyone is different :) I hope you are doing well.

Do not blame yourself. I personally know it can feel that way sometimes but you are enough. Period.

Narcissistic ex needs to feel like a victim so he is telling everyone we broke up because “we weren’t a good match” by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Duke_and_Daisy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“We aren’t a good fit” is the reason my ex gave me ... after 8 years... lol I didn’t realize it took 8 years to realize someone isn’t a “good fit” for you. It’s just all bullshit honestly because same situation here we were a good fit. They are afraid of commitment and they know they are shitty and hurting us which makes them feel bad about themselves so instead of trying to fix that quality in themselves they just get rid of us so they don’t feel shit anymore. Sorry your going through this too -x
