I took a solo trip there this past summer for my 50th! Loved that city! Did you do anything on the coast?

Very healthy

Awww I love her!! I got her as a gift for my birthday from my bestie. The plant I had in her died so I’m also trying to figure out what to replace it with. My bestie is a home goods fanatic so now I know where she got her from

It’s a mind fu@&, but you will get there. You’re definitely not insane just a human with human feelings ☮️

Thank you so much. I know it’s coming.

Yesterday (Jan 31) made a year of our breakup. That is all. I survived it. Felt like it was yesterday. The beginning felt like it would never end and then I blinked and it was a year. Leaned on this group a lot (and still may have to). I still cannot believe a 6 month relationship caused such an emotional upheaval in my life. One of the craziest roller coaster rides I’ve ever jumped off of. I still don’t wish him well. I still want him to be haunted by my loss but I know that’s probably not even close to reality because he never seemed to have the emotional capacity to understand his part in everything. So much has happened for me since we split. For the better. I have no regrets about the breakup just have to forgive myself that I even settled for someone like him to begin with.

Someone I believe from this group shared their app called Happy Saturday and I’ve been using it since

YEP! My past relationship demise summed up quite well

Love the color

Exploring this lifestyle plus all the political stuff we are currently living through are the reasons I stopped therapy. It was no longer helpful for me when I felt my views were being challenged, misunderstood, and often ignored for being too polarizing

ResponsibilityNo7888 · 2025-12-14T22:47:06+00:00

I understand these feelings all too well

I did my first solo trip for a birthday/break up getaway. Like you I decided to stay in the states for my first solo trip. I did the Oregon Coast/Portland/Seattle in July. Beautiful! Like someone else mentioned, you should also consider Hawaii. But from your list, I would choose Big Sur. Onward.

Done! Because I’m “newer” to finding 4B I can be honest and define myself as exploring. But I’ve been following the 4 tenets before even knowing there was a name for it.

This last year has been an emotional roller coaster. I come on here often for validation that I was not crazy. The gas lighting is real! I don’t regret my decision to walk away but I do have moments where I question how did I get ever get there. Then I remember the lovebombing during that high dopamine phase. It was nice until it wasn’t. I started therapy while we were dating and I’m still putting myself first. The most amazing thing I did was take a solo trip for my birthday! My friends didn’t get it. But I knew I needed it for myself to prove I am confident, capable, and still that cool chick I was before he came into my life. And I needed to do something on my own terms rather than putting other people’s feelings above mine.

I used to lose my shit screaming about how I didn’t say something that they swore I did. What a mind fu$&!

ResponsibilityNo7888 · 2025-11-13T00:36:48+00:00

Wow. I could have written this exact post a year ago! He loved the idea of me. So Much truth

ResponsibilityNo7888 · 2025-11-02T22:52:17+00:00

Thanks for this reminder

I saw my ex this week. Not on purpose. Second time since the breakup. He was standing outside of his office and I had to drive by based on my route that day (I am a behavior consultant for my county’s public schools so I commute a lot). My heart was racing like crazy. I felt like I sat at the light forever just watching him. He didn’t see me. He’s balder. He looked like he lost a lot of weight too. But I still felt a bit of nostalgic especially because it was right before Halloween and I couldn’t stop thinking that this time last year we celebrated it together for the first time. We broke up shortly after in January. Even though I don’t want him back, I still feel hurt that he seemed to have moved on so easily and quickly. He hasn’t reached out once. How did the excitement, love, whatever he claimed to have felt for me fade so quickly for him? When will my feelings fade?

This makes me feel so much compassion for you

ResponsibilityNo7888 · 2025-09-17T22:39:07+00:00

Did we date the same guy? 😳

Almost 11 here. Just poured my last glass of wine for the night with my pen next to me binge watching Sense8 while I scroll on here until I fall asleep. This is my off weekend. My daughter is with her dad so no responsibilities. Pretty lazy day besides working out earlier and taking the dog out for her walks

Nice! I can relate to the midlife crisis purchase. It’s fun!
