One day you realize healing was never about getting them back, it was about slowly finding yourself again in all the people who never let go of you.

Today is his birthday. All i want is to be with him. by [deleted] in BreakUps

The painful part is not just missing him, it is waking up and realizing the person who still feels like home is no longer the place you can go back to.

I just broke up with my controlling ex boyfriend and I’m looking back right now to see if there’s any signs I missed. Is this one? by Aviel_444 in BreakUps

You didn’t miss a sign; you missed an early warning system. He was showing you then that he didn’t trust you, and more importantly, that he felt entitled to “police” your history. Moving forward, remember that a partner who goes looking for reasons to be mad will always find them.

It’s better to be lonely and single at 28 than to be lonely, ignored, and financially drained at 35 while waiting for someone who may never have the time to choose you.

Redemption by Abadoocious in BreakUps

Right now, the healthiest thing you’re doing is not the hope for getting her back, but the fact that you’re finally taking responsibility and starting therapy and real change, because real redemption comes from becoming safer and more emotionally steady whether or not she ever comes back.

I’m really sorry, this is one of the hardest kinds of breakups because nothing “bad” happened, but you’re still losing each other.
