We’ve all been there. Can you focus your mental energy on what you want in a partner, relationship and from life? That’s always helped me. Going through grief is not linear, so I try to focus on doing things that bring me joy in the now. And what I want for my future. Your mind wants to stay in the past and start the negotiation/what if part of things. Be kind to yourself. Be gracious. Don’t settle for trucking yourself into making something work. It’s the clinging that causes the suffering. Be your best you. Good luck, OP. Sending you positive energy.
Thank you SM1. Just joined this bowl. I've been living in my mistakes and regrets and I'm finding it really hard to move on. This helped just a little bit and I really needed it.
Family and friends can become that strength too. Stay in today. The hardest pill I had to swallow is learning how to pick myself backup and how to cope without people who I thought would be in life for a long time. Stay positive. Good things come to good people.
Are you me, op?

This is a difficult time in general Op. don’t make a short term decision that’ll impact your happiness long term
I’ve been there! I almost daily reflect on my ex, painting “what could have been” and romanticizing how good it was. But the reality is he is a toxic person. He means harm. Also have an ex like you are describing. Just luke warm about everything. He will never change and he will die alone.
I won’t! The right person is out there! I believe it! And your person is out there too!
You need to drop the negative energy so you can draw in your person. You can’t find the person you need until you are the person you’re meant to be. There are a million ways to be happy - do what’s best for you. Be with family, exercise, take up a hobby, speed date, whatever! But you need to fill your mind with something to stave off the void.
