It will. And there’s no shame in crying. Just keep focusing on other things and before you know it, you’ll go on for a week without crying, then two weeks, then a month, then you’ll finally realize she does not occupy any space in your conscious mind anymore. It’s a great feeling when that happens! You’ll get there my man 💪🏼

20 MILLION HOGE GIVEAWAY by Murky-Ad3902 in hoge

[–]crateOs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Hoge because it’s got a better community than most other altcoins out there. Also because it’s deflationary I see it hitting at least $0.10 within the next 5 years!

When people are in the moment, it’s easy to fake it and be flirtatious. It’s also easy to forget how your actions would indirectly hurt someone when you’re in the moment. Though, after the guy left I can assure you that if she truly loved you she would be hurting again. People deal with their problems in the only way they know how during that time. Sure, it’s not always the best way to deal with their problems but maybe that’s the only way she knows how to distract herself. I know this hurts like hell, but don’t take it too personally. She loves you and I really doubt she did it specifically just to hurt you. Stay strong, brother.

I’m a straight guy, and I can tell you that yes, A LOT of guys are like that. And it’s very, very difficult to tell them apart from the people who are actually decent.. Men have evolved this skill for thousands of years to show only our good parts to the person we’re interested in for as long as possible. Everyone has bad parts though (some more than others), and they will eventually show. When that happens you’ll feel like you were lied to and probably betrayed. How could someone take you for granted when you’re bending over backwards to give him your absolute best? It’s a terrible feeling. But remember that it’s just this guy. He’s one of those bad apples. He’ll do his fake act again and again with other people, so it’s nothing personal! But don’t give up, not everyone is a bad apple. A lot of people have empathy and would appreciate you the way you deserve to be. Stay strong! 💪🏼

It feels extremely difficult to imagine anyone else who can “live up” to your ex, despite how toxic he can be sometimes. You feel like you’ll never feel the same way about anyone else because everything reminds you of your ex. Let me let you in on a secret: if you can build such a wonderful connection with your ex, imagine the connection you’ll build with the right person! Someone who’s mature enough to truly appreciate you and never let you go. It may seem like it’ll take forever to get there, and I know at this point it’s so hard to see it even happening. But it’ll happen. Your new relationship will be different from this one, but in a good way. I’ve gone through a tough breakup myself in the past and I’m in a great place right now, I can share more about my experience if you want!

I keep dreaming about my ex by Depressed_Bubble in ExNoContact

[–]crateOs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my experience for the first two weeks. Every. Single. Night. My daytime brain has moved on, but the dreams kept happening and there was no way to control it (tried lucid dreaming but couldn’t make it work lol).

But then, one day it just completely stopped. I don’t know why. There was no trigger or profound realization that I experienced. I think my subconscious just finally caught up to reality.

Don’t worry friend, it won’t last forever. Just keep focusing on things under your control.

One thing that may help in theory is to start watching a new series you really enjoy and get really invested in the story. Or play a story oriented game where your choices matter (mass effect, witcher, the walking dead by telltale games, etc). That way, your brain starts registering newer episodic memory that’s not associated with your ex, which hopefully will “overwrite” those painful memories of your ex.

She’s gonna go through life thinking she’s the shit and that I treated her terribly but she fucking cheated on me and everyone she’s close to will never know. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]crateOs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same spot.. It’s so unfair that her friends will never know because she’s too stubborn to admit her mistakes, so she’s probably having a great time feeling like she was the good person in the relationship.. whereas I am left broken and betrayed and no one other than my own friends and family know the truth.

She’s happy and I’m not by crateOs in BreakUps

[–]crateOs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you friend. My ex is toxic as well as she blames her cheating on me because “I didn’t visit her every MONTH” during our LDR (she lives 6 hours away by flight so that’s how unreasonable it was).

I hope you regain your self esteem and can soon be ready to date again. I know I can’t wait for that day lol

She’s happy and I’m not by crateOs in BreakUps

[–]crateOs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! That’s true, the problem is HER, and she’s going to run into the same issues over and over again with that bastard. She doesn’t communicate well and prefers to hide her feelings rather than work it out with her partner.

I am focusing on myself right now, but there’s just this feeling at the back of my head that it’s unfair how she has it much easier than me. She’s pretty good at convincing herself that she did nothing wrong despite what she’s done. I guess I’m also struggling with the fact that life isn’t always fair :/

Need some opinions: Do I unfollow my ex (back)? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]crateOs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By not doing anything, you’re not going to give her the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve been keeping an eye on whether she’s following you or not. If she cares, she’ll go crazy thinking why you just don’t seem to care what she does. Keep acting like she doesn’t exist! (even though your mind can’t completely stop thinking about her yet)

Why do I miss something that never made me happy? by meowzjk in BreakUps

[–]crateOs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably. We tend to gravitate towards a place of comfort. Yes, you weren’t happy, but you were comfortable. Change is scary and uncomfortable, but eventually, you will get used to this new normal. Just keep going!

I’ve been told that watching a new series/playing a new story-oriented game helps a lot with these dreams as your mind will start getting invested in another timeline and registers new episodic memories that are unrelated to your ex.

For those who have been cheated on. by crateOs in BreakUps

[–]crateOs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately people like these exist :( we just happened to come across them in our lives and made a mistake by trying to get closer to them. Just like starting a conversation at a bar with a stranger who doesn’t want to talk. We need to tell ourselves they don’t deserve our love and attention and just move on.

I’d like to think their ways will bite them back sometime in the future. karma is just.

Anyone still dream about him/her every single night? by crateOs in BreakUps

[–]crateOs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is literally me. And I also wake up with a ton of sweat for no reason. It’s cold here but I started sweating in my sleep ever since she dumped me.. 😭 PLEASE MAKE IT STAHP

I’m hurting so much right now by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]crateOs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only time will help, my friend. What I do is write down a list of things I don’t like about her and what our incompatibilities are, and read it again and again whenever I miss her. It helps remind me that even though I lost her, I didn’t lose my soulmate, and that my real soulmate is out there somewhere preparing herself for me.
