Learning to live with heartbreak is one of the hardest things we will ever do. Knowing that you cannot change the past and can only move forward, but it happened and you cannot forget either. Every step forward is a hard one. 😢

Yup. It took me months, but I am not finally over my ex. My ex decided to walk away from a beautiful relationship we had. My ex did not choose me. I now accept it and I choose myself. That person is not worth it.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
