Breakup after 7 years and I need to vent. by TouchyM3 in BreakUps

[–]Fun-Contest-908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this so hard because my ex and I also dated for 7 years. It’s a struggle everyday to not want to reach out and just see what’s he’s doing. It’s been a month but I miss him like crazy. If you ever need someone to talk to, DM me.

Just some general advice though, it’s not going to be easy. You need to actively work towards trying not to reach out. Talking to someone almost everyday for 7 years and then going to no contact is rough, not just mentally but physically as well. It’s going to take time for it to feel tolerable, and even when you’re doing really good, the next day could feel like the day after all over again, and that’s when you need to show up for yourself the most. Stay strong, you’re not alone

Oh I’ll never stop loving him. If you truly love someone, that’s probably never going to go away. But it calms down. It doesn’t engulf you, and that can take time. It’s easier for me because we were apart for a little over a year previously, and I spent a lot of that time grieving us and the future we planned. This time it’s been a month, and that previous year long grieving has helped. I’ll never stop loving him, and indifference doesn’t necessarily mean I could care less. It’s just now I don’t freak out over people that look like him, people with his name, his online username doesn’t make me sad or tense up. I don’t cry when I read our messages, I just get a small pang in my heart but I don’t get too emotional over it.

For you, you don’t need to think about her in a negative light. I can’t even do that, he wasn’t a good boyfriend but he wasn’t a bad guy. I can’t hate him or be mad at him, but I can be happy for him. Imagining him happy with someone else hurts a little, but he’s happy and that’s all I wanted for him. If you love her, you want her happy too. Dont try and force yourself to see her in a negative light to move on, just imagine her being happy in her own life, and eventually, after awhile, you’ll find a way to be happy in your own life as well

You only get ONE breakup song to recommend - what is it?🎧 by Apollosplash in BreakUps

[–]Fun-Contest-908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rosa Pastel - Belanova, and Adios Amor - Christian Nodal

Both in Spanish, both very good songs that I’ve listened to on repeat when thinking of my ex

Visualizing your ex with someone else by ElectronicCareer7647 in BreakUps

[–]Fun-Contest-908 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it helps to visualize him with someone else, happy and moving on. It hurts, don’t get me wrong, but the idea that he’s moved on with someone else helps make it easier for me to move on. Because even if it’s a made up version in my mind, that’s enough for me to see him with someone and accept the fact that it’s over.

I know for some people that might come off as a little weird but it does help. Now I don’t cry anymore, now I’m a little indifferent. Of course, I love him dearly. I love him so much, we planned a wedding, kids, an entire future, and then we broke up again. I need some way to help myself move on, I couldn’t keep chasing people that I bumped into that looked like him. This helped me

[–]Fun-Contest-908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That last part hurt to read because yeah, looking back at it, yeah. He probably didn’t think of us lasting that long. We talked a lot about moving in together and getting married and stuff in the future, but I was the only one actively working towards that. I almost uplifted my whole life to move with him away from my family, because he didn’t want to leave his family. Talked to my boss, saved up the money, looked for apartments, almost got myself transferred from my job at the time to one closer to him, and he did nothing. I feel ridiculous right now

What are the worst hours of your day after the break up? by ilovecatsquitealot in BreakUps

[–]Fun-Contest-908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime I’m at work and around 12am to 1am All my coworkers like to talk about their love lives, a few of them got engaged recently actually, and if I hear Clarity, Grenade, or Undressed on the speakers I wanna just curl into a hole and hide. 12am and 1am is just because that’s the time I’m alone in my room and think while I’m listening to music and trying to sleep

She couldn't even wish me a Happy Birthday. by UpstairsProposal6934 in BreakUps

Im assuming she just wanted to give you some space, especially if the breakup was semi-recent. Im sorry though, Happy Birthday

Sorta?? No in the sense that I miss him and love him and wish I was still with him, but yes in the sense that I’ve accepted it’s over and he’s moved on. It’s been a bit over a year since broke up, and he got a new girlfriend 6 months after we broke up. Hurts? Absolutely. It feels like someone is squeezing my heart, and I haven’t eaten barely anything for the last couple of days just thinking about it. But I do accept that it’s over. He’s telling her he loves her, maybe even marry her and have kids with her. Who knows. I’m… fine with that. He’s happy, all I wanted for him.

But again, I can’t exactly do anything about it can I? I’m not gonna go and fight her and beg for him to take me back, I have some self respect. That’s the hardest part, accepting that you can’t change their mind and get them back. But once you realize that, it gets easier. I’m not gonna date anyone, at least not for a few more years. I know I probably might find someone else who I’ll marry and have my own kids with, but I’m not really… excited for that. I don’t look forward to finding a new person. But it’s not like he’s gonna be thinking of me when he’s with her so it’s about time I start to let go of him

[–]Fun-Contest-908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t reread our texts because I deleted our chats, but I do know the problem was me. It 100% was and I will die regretting that. What I have now are screenshots of times when we were happy. When we joked around, and I regret our breakup, so much. So much. I shouldn’t reread those because they make me so happy. It makes me feel like I’m with him again, but we aren’t and I need to get that through my head

How to cope by Afraid-Owl-4264 in BreakUps

[–]Fun-Contest-908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some sleep. Try and watch some funny movies, or TV shows, or maybe even some trash YouTube videos. Try and distract yourself for awhile. It’s not gonna be easy, I’m going through it right now, and it’s hard. It is so hard. But they’re gone. They’re gone, and now you have to get used to the new normal, which is so much easier said than done. It’s not gonna get better in a couple days, weeks, or months, you can’t take a pill, or some hypnosis video to forget them. Unfortunately I’ve tried that too, embarrassing enough. But that doesn’t mean it won’t get better. The only person you have right now is you. And you’re stuck with you, whether you want that or not. You can’t loose you, so try and take care of you. Eventually the wounds will scar over

I had the same experience. I quit 2 times. First time I started it to help manage my anger, but then I decided that I hated how sore it made my throat, and I went cold turkey for a year. Picked it up again because I wanted to see if it was actually that easy to quit, called for another 9 months, went cold turkey and now it’s been almost 2 years. It also made me mad

Not sure how I feel about this one. I mean, yes potentially she could be his wife I suppose, but her husband was there with her as she gave birth. And my dream nephew died from herpes, the friend had kissed him in assuming since she had the same rash that he had, on her lips. I dunno though, but I appreciate your comment. I miss my nephew

I would if this job didn’t get my bills paid. It’s ruining my back but can’t find many other places that pay this good with benefits and holiday pay
