Ladies, when you’ve broken up in the past, how do you untangle your lives? Especially if you’ve been together a while, but not married

Unfortunately had to slowly ween myself off or mutual friends that were more his friends than mine. And had to unfriend him and unfollow others on social media.

Fortunately we lived in different towns so I was able to easily stop doing the things we did together in his area.

I also took the opportunity to reconnect with old friends, spend more time with others, and start doing more of the things I liked.

And of course gave back all his stuff and got rid of whatever else left that I really didn't want (only kept a scarf and purse).

Not living together made the physical untangling easy. The mental bit took a year (to stop think about what we were doing on that day last year, like Thanksgiving with his family). But it did get easier after 3 months and than 6 months.
