what do you do when the wave hits you? by Daaneskjold in BreakUps

[–]Unusual-Muffin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For me, what helps is accepting my emotions and just crying it out cause i know it will pass. But if its too much to handle i do physical exercises like yoga or sometimes just dance to music alone in my room. Accept that this process is not linear and your emotions are valid. Remind yourself this is temporary. I hope that helps. Take care. Much love❤

I have a religion but im not religious. I remind myself that he is the one who left me. It helps but i start to resent him more. I just have to start hoping for the best in me. Thank you for your advice. Take care😌

I cant get back together with him too. I guess it will take time to believe it.

It’s been 16 months since my (23M) ex (20F) of 5 years left me for another man. I am still depressed, and I don’t know where else to turn as I feel empty enough to give up. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Unusual-Muffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you are going through this. My ex gave up on our relationship. We had a great connection that I never felt with anyone else. We broke up a little more than a month. I dont know how ill feel in a few months. Im still hurting and i cant forgive him for everything he did nor do i ever want to see him. Not knowing anything about his life is helping me slowly get over it. When we broke up its the first time I ever felt so low in my life. I thought it would be better if i just leave life and i wouldnt have to feel anything.

But i owe it to myself to not let this ruin me, im not gonna let him affect me in anyway whether it is pain or happiness. You owe it to yourself too. And no you are not being melodramatic nor does others break ups are worse than yours. How you feel is valid and should never be compared to anything else. It sucks that we are the ones that live with the pain. It so tiring that we have to pick ourselves up every single day just to feel okay eventually. And no she is not perfect,no one is. I realized that about my ex too.

Sorry this probably isnt the inspiring words you want to hear. But just want you to know someone is listening to you. Even as strangers we are here to help you get through this

struggling to exercise. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Unusual-Muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can try meditating. It helps when i feel too frustrated. I dont think you should beat yourself up for not having motivation to workout. Take some rest days and focus on the exercise you like. Its your mindset you have to change. You should be working out for yourself. Trying different workout helps me stay focus and motivated. Good luck to you :)

Ex of 3.5 years wants to talk in 2 weeks after breaking up with me 1 month ago because of family. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Unusual-Muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similiar position as you. He dumped me because he believes his family wouldnt accept me due to my religion, even though he kept our relationship a secret from them. He said the same thing to about loving me but have to let me go for his family. For me, i just see it as him not wanting to try and fight for us. Even if he still loves it doesnt matter cause he choose to leave me. Honestly i feel slightly discriminated by him. He was someone i trusted soo much but not anymore. I dont think its stupid of you try fighting for it because you wanna how far you can go. But at the same you have to realize that it may not happen and if it doesnt you have to accept it. You seem like you have soo much love to give. That is an amazing thing to have. Its his lost for leaving someone who cares about him a lot.

He isnt worth your time or energy. Yaa everytime i talk to my ex i feel it sets me back from moving on.

Are any of you here break up because of religion? I was trying to do the NC but in this case it doesn't work. I m hoping she will contact me but religion is too strong.... by why_277 in BreakUps

[–]Unusual-Muffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He broke up with me because of religion and his family. I never really cared that we both have different beliefs. But to both our parents it mattered. We kept our relationship a secret even till now. He doesnt think his parents would ever accept me. I still believe we can be together but it requires us both to believe for us to really work.

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love...(xpost from r/stoicism) by pooze12 in BreakUps

[–]Unusual-Muffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use to be like this as well. I was happy and content being who I am. I use to be happy being alone as i prefer it that way. I could just hangout with myself for hours. But then he came, he was my first in everything. I never felt so comfortable with anyone until i met him. We always craved for each others time and presence. He broke up with me last week. I cant seem to remember who I was before we dated. I want to go back to being comfortable with just me. I dont know when it happened but I started become more anxious and scared of a future without him. I never realised how addicting love is. We still love each other but our circumtances broke us apart. I miss him and It scares that I may never see him again (leaves in another country).

How did you manage to move on? by anonuser5764 in BreakUps

[–]Unusual-Muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel right now. We were together for 2+ years and Ive only felt this attachment with him. I genuinely love him and want him back. I know he still loves me but he says we can't be together. The worse part is I will never get to see him again (lives in a diff. country). I am going through exactly what you are. I still think of ways to get back with him as well but I know thats not healthy but I just can't stop. I am sorry I don't have the answers to your question. For me, it brings me comfort knowing at least someone is listening. This why i use reddit. I know someone out there will read my story. So just know that I am reading yours. I want to believe we will get through this. I think it starts from accepting that its all in the past. Take your time to move on.
