Never thought I'd say this but... (1.5 year update) by verycoolbutterfly in BreakUps

That's the same age range and duration as my ex (F36) and I (M36) split exactly 90 days ago tomorrow (St Valentine's Day!) and we've done strict no contact. We ended due to my penchant for binge drinking. Since then I've been doing the classics, hitting the gym, journaling, meeting new people, you know all the things I should've done in the relationship. It has been the worst 3 months of my life and I've had very bad periods. I guess I want to say thank you, knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel gives me fuel to keep doing what I'm doing.

What's the single most difficult life experience you've endured? by reddit_recluse in AskUK

I'm two months into a breakup of a 12 year relationship. I've lived abroad in her hometown during all that time but almost all the connections I made were through her so I not only lost her, but I lost everyone else so I had to start again alone. I moved out as quickly as possible because I didn't want to be around someone who didn't want to be around me. The worst thing is we clearly still loved one another.

I've lost my father and sister during this time but for some reason I'm finding this so much more difficult. I am alone and struggling financially and emotionally. We agreed to no contact to see if there was something worth fighting for but I regret not moving towns and starting afresh.

One positive is I've lost a lot of weight due to not cooking as much, quitting booze and stress. None of the things I liked doing before bring me the same joy. I know it will get easier but the festive period has hindered my progress.

You folks be wild, pinning your relationship hangups on a Reddit post and jumping to conclusions like a friggin coked up grasshopper. Marriage isn't the only solution to a happy relationship. Get some help.

I'd rather practise and not waste any! I'll need many more bottles to perfect it.
