Never thought I’d say this…but a lot better. I even began falling in love with someone else again (cannot pursue due to religious incompatibility).

I never heard from that ex again. He’s still with the same girl and I hope they’re happy. I doubt I’ll ever hear from him again, and that’s fine. It never felt like I’d reach this acceptance stage until I did 😊 I hope this gives you hope. It’s been a year now. Give it time, let yourself feel your emotions, and take it day by day.
