Just broke up with my GF of 6 years! I just don’t know what to do now. I still love her but don’t know how to move on.

Mind numbing sex is wack tbh. Get some therapy, make a few plans with your best friends, and do some light reflections. You can sprinkle sex in there, but that’s not a viable solution to the problem you’re facing

This sounds like advice given by a B4/WITCH manager. If you think therapy is just crying your eyes out, you clearly don’t have clue. Going to therapy is taking action. Swiping around on Tinder is what immature kids do. Maybe one day you’ll grow up

I actually just did the exact same thing a few months ago, my fiance and I separated. My biggest thing I'd recommend is to keep careful watch over how you feel, and go out, try to enjoy life a little without her

Just know that you will be fine. It always suck, but you’re not the only one going through this and perspective helps.

Just allow yourself to be down for a few weeks, it’s normal and it will pass. In the meantime, try to find useful things to do with your time, like playing a sport or martial arts. This will keep you from thinking about stupid shit.

Just wait a few months and you’ll be fine.

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers.

The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.
