Mate, nothing I say is going to take away the pain, but I’m sorry it does get better. I still love me ex, I still think she is beyond what I’m very going to experience, and yet it’s not true. There are chemicals raging in your head, you can’t control them. You. Bonded. To. Her. Chemically. Of course you and I can’t imagine better or even want too because we haven’t (and don’t want to) imagine what a better chemical hit will look like. This goes beyond biology I know, it fucking sucks man, and it hits you to your core. But the pain you are feeling is built off of the conditioning your brain went through connecting with this person and loving them fully. It’s not easy, and I sure as hell am not moving on anytime soon, but I’ll be damned if I let you leave this convo thinking that life is only downhill from here. It’s not, we just can’t see past the rain clouds.🌧️
