How do i learn to focus on myself after a break up? I was in a relationship for a bit over 3 years and we were close to getting engaged. Weve been on/off the last 6 months but I can tell she’s making a serious effort to move on this time and I think I need to as well but i get lonely much easier these days and living by myself doesn’t help!

Work out and treat yourself to some self care activities! Figure out what you like doing, what makes you happy, and look for ways to fulfill them without relying on significant other. Trying to find joy in your alone time is better than moving from one person to another

Stop on/off and just cut it off completely. Work out/get better mentally. Go out to the bar and have a couple of one night stands. That’s what I used to do and helped a ton. Once you hook up with a couple of girls, you’ll realize it’s not the ex gf you need but the things you used to do such as dinners, drinks, sex, etc.

If you’ve been on/off for a while then it wasn’t as serious as you thought. That’s not the type of person you want to marry. There’s much better out there OP. Go to the gym, sleep well, eat well, and do something that stimulates your mind. Enjoy your own hobbies and when you’ve had sufficient time to heal, then start dating again.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
