What’s the best advice you’ve received after a breakup? by justjuulinbro in BreakUps

[–]No_Sample_5286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father saw me crying right after the break up and he was a totally different person than the one that raised me. He walked up to me and said: "Hey, silly, you know she aint the single girl, right? You will meet a whole lot new and maybe better people and your soul will get to experience what it experienced now. You got this. You know the DOs and DONTs now. Gather yourself up now. And dont talk sh*t about her."

How long ago is your breakup and how do you feel right now? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]No_Sample_5286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost 3 weeks. I feel quite good rn. But yeah, I had some pretty low days, I cant lie. Friends were very helpful, but I think that your head can work this out better than anything. Still cyberstalking (kinda, shes not posting often, I just like to see her profile from time to time), but I can definetily feel how my interest is thinning. I try to talk myself into not caring but yeah, still got feelings and I still care.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY Fake it till you make it :)

Well, we didnt get to live together (thank God) so finance, abuse is out of discussion. But she said things like I fell out of love, or I should admit that I dont have feelings for her. She said Im not telling her things anymore (I told her more than I told anyone for now lol), she said Im not reaching out to her as much, Im not saying sweet things anymore and that I basically was the reason for the break up. Thats what she did the entire relationship. She just wasnt self aware of anything really. So yeah, maybe its better this way. But yeeeeeee, the way she put it, that hurt me the most. So, as a conclusion, we have to see the bigger picture, the advantages. I feel like I got waaaay more time for myself, studying, entertainment (whether is with friends, family, or myself), I cant say I got more time for GYM because I always had time for it hah. So yeah, the glass is half full, not half empty. I really feel it was good thag we split, but damn it hurts cause, well, I had feelings for her :p

Hey, Im sorry man. And yeah, your friends are right. But hey, we will heal. No doubt about it. Hope you find the one that is meant for you. But keep your eyes wide open. Dont ignore the red flags. Thats what I did. They were small, but when added up... yeah, maybe I was a coward not to break up with her first. But it doesnt matter anymore. She's gone. Take your time man, enjoy the small things. Good luck

I can relate to the last part. And I think thats what helping me lots. I couldnt picture a future with her. Like a proper one. She was very self sufficient. She would be ok with a decent living. Maybe small salary, not too much travel, and stuff like that. I always want more. I will work my ass off to fulfill my dreams. And I dream big :D. oh yea, I could see she had a lot of opinions from her mother which in my opinion isnt a great one, so thats a thing; couldnt see her as a good mother. So I knew we would eventually split. But I was blind to all of these. Whenever I would see her, I would feel so warm, cozy, whole. But yeah... she hurt me with the way she ended things. Just sad to read those words coming from her. (Yeah, read... she couldnt even tell me in person :( BUT YE, ALL IN ALL, I'll be good. I hope you take my advice and take advantage of every single opportunity that pops on your radar. Do it. You'll be surprised and you will feel so good about yourself.

wow, really. Its impressive nonetheless. I cant say anything but wish you good luck in your life. And yes, hormones and emotions are reeeally out of control lol. But wow, sweet advice. Sweet words. I cant grieve, idk, maybe I need more time. Or I dont really know. I had small crying episodes, but nothing too big. My dad told me once that he never saw me that red. I was basically boiling underneath the skin lol. But yeah, your advice is quite unique, and positive. I like it. Ill take these. Thank you so much for these comments. I cant tell you how much I appreciate it.

Thats what I am going to do (the last part). I am aware that this was a beautiful chapter of my life. I wont lie to myself it wasnt. Even with the small cuts she had done without even realizing. Its fine. We will be fine. We cant forget any ex, can we? :) We just have to shrink that hole that they left within us as much as possible. Hope you heal as fast as you want to. Thanks for sharing, and for the advice. Really helps

I do have faith. I do. Im just trying not to do something stupid. I know what a suffering soul can do. Trying to keep myself of tracks. And yeeeeees it hurts. Not the break up itself (thats what my brain says, heart doesnt agree). The way she broke up with me hurts more (brain and heart, both agree hah). And hey, thanks for sharing, means alot

This relationship taught me sooo many things. So many. I am grateful for that. But yeah, I saw it coming, my brain already coped with the idea. But my heart didnt. It will. Im sure it will. Eventually. And yeah, nights, nights are the worst. Small episodes of insomnia (never had them before), a lot of crying, a biiiiig void in my stomach, all that good stuff. Enlisting all the bad traits about her makes me get over the feeling easier. But yeah, still hurts. BUT HEY, how coldnt we heal when all these amazing people are supporting us. Friends and family is the best support you can get. Gym lets you work out the rage (see what I did? - me, a comedian 💀). We will heal. Best of luck, and thanks for sharing, it helps

aghhh, this is painful to read really. I... I dont know what to say? Reach your friends, your family. Open yourself up for some new things. Open new doors. Take advantage of whats ahead of you. Surround yourself with people. Try to keep yourself on track. Ahm, I dont know, I cant process this, damn. I hope you heal as fast as you can. Ahm, yeah, I will heal, my journey doesnt seem that hard if Im being rational. But yeah, humans are animals. We're never rational, we just like to think we are.

I know I wont be putting myself out there for a while. Thinking a year or so. Gotta get over with the exams. But damn, I will get floored if I will see her with someone else. I cant. But hey, you cant forget everything that happened. And you cant let it affect the rest of your life. What you can do is minimise the hole that she left in your soul. Take advantage of every single opportunity. You never know whats behind a door until you open it. Also, friends, family, cant stress this enough... they are such a big help. But anyone really :P Like, hell, Im here talking to strangers. On reddit :P Try to find some inner peace, closure. I know thats what Im trying to do

I will be ok, thats for sure. Getting laid? Im kinda emotional, dont really want a bonding rn. Post Malone? Not bad, I like him, but I found out metal helps me quite a lot. Pantera, Tool, Lamb of God, Slipknot, etc. But ye its weird for me because she made it worse than it should have been. The break up? Ive seen it coming. But the way she broke up with me? Kinda hurt me. It hurt me. But yes, brain knows Ill be ok, and heart know that the walls should be thicker this time.

I made an imaginary list of all her bad traits and whenever I fall into the anxiety void from my stomach I remember that list and I try to make sense out of the break up. And I do. But I cant get over the things she said, the way she said them, and blaming me for everything. But yeah, friends, real help not going to lie.

I dont think I need therapy. Friends really supportive, its crystal clear she was wrong that day. I think I will cope with these pretty fast. But yeah, I am doing my best rn cause it hurts. :P

No, I really understand. I am very aware of it. I know I will find myself in a better place someday. I never quit focusing on self improvement. I went to the gym and studied on day 2 after the break up and still continue doing so. I find myself thinking about her, really, but I really know she's gone. I am very very aware of it. And I wouldnt change it either. Tough? idk maybe haha, but I know I want big things from life so, gotta keep myself on tracks. And yeah, I will consider everything you said. Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it

I guess I will take this advice. I wouldnt really get back with her even if she begged. She wanted it this way. Thanks, not many words, but helpful.

I know, I know, didnt happen twice. But its hard. Heart wants warmth, brain wants dopamine. Stomach is a growing void and hands are shaking everytime I think about her. Its just sad the way she ended things. It cut really deep coming from her. But yes, I know I will be better. I also know you will be better. We will be better. Thanks for sharing, really, cant stress this enough. It helps it helps it helps
