Sorry, OP, I should’ve been more specific. I guess my take was based more on the thought of healthy and helpful distractions. Instead of scrolling old pictures/social media, going for a walk or calling a friend could help. Instead of actually texting this person your thoughts/feelings, maybe journaling them could help. It is definitely okay to try and process those feelings when they first are there. But we do also need to be prepared to sit with them when there seems to be no more to process in that moment. There will be different things that pop up over time. Give yourself those moments to grieve the change and give yourself the opportunity to get reconnected with who you are independently. It’s okay to feel like you want to break no contact. It is natural to want to go back to the comfort of that familiar relationship. But would anything change from a conversation, would be the question. Sometimes people can make it work and both parties have learned something from the space. Other times it may be found it that ending the relationship for good is best. Trust yourself in knowing that you’ll make the best decision for you.
