Find another cool guy to have a fling with, I was in a similar situation and the fling REALLY helped me get over my ex. The fling has since ended and I’m still fine

Best way to get over someone…get under someone else 😆
Progress isn’t linear and time heals all. Cheesy but true! I went through a very rough breakup after being with my ex for almost 8 years. Was heartbroken for about a year and then it was like the clouds lifted and I was ready to turn the page. Distract yourself as much as possible and try to remind yourself that whatever comes next will be better than what was left behind. Sending you lots of positivity!

I appreciate you 💛
You need time to mourn. I dated a woman for bout 18 months, and she broke up with me. I was devastated for about 6 months. I thought we were going to get married. Eventually things get better - while you need to mourn, you also need to do some fun things, like take up a hobby, travel, etc. In hindsight, we were not right for each other, and am happily married to the right one. Good luck!

What I hate most is seeing him on dating apps. I don’t want to be on them but he’s adamantly moving on and therefore so should I. I’m trying to meet new people (not necessarily to date but maybe to befriend; I’m not ready for something romantic) but I can’t deny that I still miss him no matter how badly I want not to. He haunts me in my dreams, where we finally talk and reconcile. But in reality he ruined my birthday and doubled down instead of simply acknowledging that we both made mistakes. I forgave him long ago but he hasn’t forgiven me for my reaction to his actions. I’m devastated from how his reaction to our first big fight was to shut me out, still. I just want to forget him.

I blocked him everywhere he hasn’t blocked me but tinder doesn’t have a block function

I’m not sure where I heard this, but I heard that it takes half of the amount of time you were in the relationship to get over it…. I can 100% attest to that too. I was in a 6 year relationship, and it took 3 years for me to get over it. Stay strong.

It gives you a metric. Sometimes a goal can be comforting. If it’s not, you should ignore the “rule” 😂

Progress is overrated.
