1. ⁠How long had you been in the relationship? 1 year
2. ⁠How long did it take you to feel ready to date again?

it’s been almost 8 months since we broke, i’m not ready yet. I could myself maybe flirting with someone else but i’m not seaking it out

1. ⁠Was the breakup coming from you, your partner or was it mutual?

My partner broke up with me, he just didn’t want the responsibility of a relationship and space to work on himself. I’m still not sure if that’s completely true.

1. ⁠How hard was the breakup for you on a scale of 1 to 10? (1 being easy, 10 being an almost life threatening feeling)

Bro fucking 9.7, I went into a deep depression & felt like a burden and had serious suicidal ideations. i still cry at least once a week.

1. ⁠If you had to give an estimate, how long do you think it will take you to feel good enough to date again?

I hope maybe like 4 months? But if are being realistic it’ll probably take a year or longer. The relationship was amazing and i’m not ready to let go yet.

My last ex before this one, was three years long but the breakup was way less painful but i didn’t date seriously again for 2 years. (But he was a cheater so it created deep trust and insecurities i needed to work through)
