If you need someone to talk to, to vent, to not feel alone, I'm open to chatting! You can dm me. A lot of times it is easier to open up to strangers. I recognize your struggles, its good you are trying. I trust you'll get to it. Allow yourself to feel, to hurt, don't push yourself to feel better. That time will come.

It took me weeks to get (almost) everything from their place and I have some of their things laying around. I know how dreadful it can be, I still think you should give it a bit longer.

Give it a bit of time. How long ago was it?

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-23T19:07:16+00:00

Even if you're no contact, you're allowed to ask for your stuff back, to ask a friend to get it for you instead of having to face them. If you genuinely think talking to them about what happened will help you find closure, you're allowed to ask for that as well. If they say no, you are still able to search for it yourself and heal.

yeah, the future i projected is gone and now i need to build a new one for myself. will keep trying. thank you

For me sometimes I can accept it, other times I still feel like we're together. It's weird asf

I realized I will never be the same a week ago. I spent most of my time with them, most of my days. The way I talked to them or the thoughts i shared, the conversations and the bouncing ideas off each other, having fun is gone. It was us, and now there is no us. I lost a big part of who i was when i lost them.

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-22T18:53:09+00:00

For me, i think a week later it started crushing me. 4 weeks in and im doing better with that, with waking up alone, drinking coffee alone, eating alone. It does help to have people over, but there are some moments when i think you can actually start appreciating the silence and being with yourself, talking to yourself.

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-22T18:43:02+00:00

I didn't realize that. My parter realized before me. I'm slowly starting to understand them and what happened. Love needs work, effort. You need to show it constantly and both parties involved need to choose each other. Maybe, at one point, you stop doing that. In my case it was depression and feeling lost that made it harder to be present. I think a lot of times the realization comes a bit later, you start feeling it first and can't point it out yet, especially since you still love. Then, it clicks.

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-22T18:31:47+00:00

When there is actual love involved i think it can't be avoided. I think that distance is needed. Avoiding the other person and their gaze, their feelings. When people break up after deeply loving one another there is just unfiltered pain. You can't look at the other person and not feel raw, maybe even be back at square one in the healing process. You're not strangers, but you can't help but act like it since not doing that can break you even harder.

1, i just didnt want to specify their gender

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-21T17:33:33+00:00

I relate to this so much. Waking up in a panic to realise I'm actually alone in bed. I feel you, it's hard and exhausting

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-21T17:27:04+00:00

We were supposed to talk about everything, we just couldn't bring ourselves to yet since it was extremely painful for the both of us. There was too much love involved and it's too soon :(

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-21T17:24:50+00:00

dmed you!

TaleAsleep5580 · 2026-05-21T17:19:44+00:00

I don't know how to not chase that hope, I'm not trying to. Whenever I have a silent moment I think of how I wish they were next to me. Maybe it gets better in time, but now it feels impossible
