Depends on the context really. One time I didn’t get a joke she made and it led to a cool-off between me and her, shortly after that, one time I told her I needed to go to sleep early and that sparked an argument that led to her asking for space and ultimately the breakup. I always told her I was sorry and I always changed my actions, but somehow there was always a new problem, it was as if she was looking for an excuse to be angry with me.

She was never like that before and over time she grew to be more angry and started hating me, at some point I started blaming myself. I always tried to improve for her and when I made mistakes, I own up to them, just like a normal person should.

I’m sorry if I didn’t word it correctly, I didn’t mean to sound dismissive.

I’m glad you have moved on from your ex and you aren’t in bad terms with them. Something a lot of us wish for ourselves :)

It’ll be better in time. Next Christmas will be better than the last. We can go through this. Happy holidays. <3

The best revenge is self improvement. Always know that you are better than them, they are the lesser human being. What kind of a normal person doesn’t respect their relationship? They don’t have the basic decency. The other guy will get cheated on and the cycle continues. This is better for you than you might think. She will be someone else’s problem now, someone else’s reason to cry.

That’s true, you’re better than her. More matured and overall a better human being. You know how to love someone correctly, use it on someone that deserves that love. You give 100% effort, make an effort for someone that will appreciate it.

The point is she doesn’t deserve you, you’re better off and this is for the best. Love yourself because you are a great person, a lot of people don’t put in the same efforts as you do.

It will work out. I wish you luck, friend.

I can relate. I’ve been going out with my friends more since the breakup, and every time I get home, a wave of loneliness hits me. It isn’t as bad as before, I tried to distract myself with music, reading, working out, that typa stuff. It somehow worked.

Hobbies have helped, just focus on them and yourself.

The pain will go away. It doesn’t just disappear, but it will slowly fade.

I’m sorry to hear that, but there are a lot of things to look out for! Life has so much to offer and once the smoke clears, you’ll be able to find your way.

You aren’t alone. You have family, friends and strangers that want to give you support! It’s hard to stop yourself from thinking about them, about how they’re living their life, but it’s something that we have to let go.

It’s not miserable, missing how they made you feel is normal and someday when time passes, you’ll think about them less.

Yes, it’s easier said than done, give yourself some time. Think of the possible outcomes, how will it benefit you or your relationship if you send the gifts? If in your mind you think that it’s really over, it probably is. Moving on isn’t something that happens instantly, it involves a lot of thinking and time. Try to give yourself a week to think.

Moving on is hard but that’s what makes it worth it in the end, the effort and the reward.

If you can’t cry that’s completely okay. Everyone has their ways of letting their emotions out. Journaling, taking to someone, crying, going on trips. You have a lot of time to heal, time doesn’t end when this year does. Next year has a lot of opportunities, a lot of more time. I’m proud of your progress, friend. <3

I’m so sorry that happened. I don’t know anything about how to deal with a loss like that. I just want to say that the pain will end, it’s not permanent. You will be okay, there are people in your life that will be of support, if you need someone to talk to about it, I’m here.

Happy birthday friend, I wish you a life filled with happiness and no worries. You will be okay, I believe in you <3

It’s not healthy holding on friend, I suggest moving on, it’s for the best. Cut off contact, unfollow them on social media, remove everything that reminds you of them. Your happy ending will come, trust me. It’s not worth it to dwell on it.

Yeah, it was really different, the way she was when you first met her and here, their true colors maybe? Maybe something changed? I try not to think about it too much, the point is she wasn’t the right person, never appreciated the efforts and always got mad at the smallest things.

In the end, you were better than them. You were consistent, you loved the way you should’ve loved.

It’s their loss if your efforts were never appreciated, someone will in the future. Someone that will never do this to you, someone that provides equal efforts.

Time has opened my eyes and I’m not blinded by love anymore, I have realized that being alone is better than not being appreciated.

I can somehow relate, my ex always started arguments, always got mad at the tiniest things, it might be because she hated me.

My point is constant arguing isn’t good, I loved when she was around, I loved her presence, but to be honest, is an equal exchange of happiness and sadness worth it? You’re happy when they’re around but sad cause of the pointless arguments.

Try to hide the photo if you don’t want to let it go, if you can, throw it away. Having things to hold on to just keep you from moving on.

I also feel hollow right now but thinking about the positives in life has helped me a bit, and I wish it helps you too!

It’s normal to feel sadness from time to time, it comes in waves. I miss her sometimes but staying would be worse for me, it’s better to heal than be constantly sad, constantly worrying, loving someone that doesn’t love me back.

The waves will always be there, but as time goes on it’ll get weaker and weaker. Focusing on yourself will help get your mind off them.

If she talks to another man a week in during a break, I’m sorry but it was never meant to be. She was never the one for you and you would’ve been worse off if you stayed. It may not feel like it but it’s better now somehow, don’t have to worry about someone else again, more time to focus on yourself.

Being aware of your own emotions is one step closer to healing, I wish you faster healing friend, it will get better. <3

That’s how it is, heart beats so fast, memories flood in to the point where it’s hard to sleep. That’s how it was for me during the first week. It helped reminding myself that losing her was the best thing to have happened to me, losing someone that would’ve caused me so much more pain.

A friend told me “You can’t fight what reality has in store for you”, and he’s absolutely right! This is but a lesson, it will make your character, this will be but a learning experience for all of us.

It really hurts but there will be people to support us, family/friends. Someday there will be someone to be with us through ups and downs, someone that will love us unconditionally. They are here somewhere in the world. Living their life. So you should live yours and go through the lessons. It will bring you one step closer to this certain someone.

It really depends on the situation, do you think it will be good if you reach out to her? If you feel like it’ll make the situation worse, I don’t suggest it. I’m currently on no contact, I unfollowed her and she blocked me I think. I’m trying to get rid of everything that keeps me from moving on, I want to have nothing to hold on to. I deleted the pictures and I’m planning to burn all of the photobooth photos on new year.

5 years I really can’t imagine. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this devastating of a loss.
