      I feel you
      I think the best is to allow yourself to FEEL the feelings you try to avoid.
      Accept them all: accept you miss them, accept you loved them so so much, accept you was ready to give them everything but keep moving forward.
      It's okay to want to unhear their name, to want to unsee them, it's alright.
      But you have to keep moving forward. Accept all the feelings you're feeling right now but never stop doing things you love because the more you refuse to feel, the more it's going to be difficult to go through the fact they left you out in the cold.
      NB: My english is pretty..meh but I hope you get it and you feel better !

    8. Focus on the potential. Meet new people and friends you wouldn't have met, take in valuable experiences you couldn't have had, and create unique memories and connections that only a breakup could've given you access to. Though it's painful, these things help you assign the breakup a positive value; you'll see it more for all it gave you rather than just for what was lost.

    Been with my ex for 8 years almost close to 9…just allow yourself to heal with time. Just take your time, don’t rush things. Just treat yourself as same as if you are sick. You don’t try to force to be normal when you are sick. You just wait till you feel better. Time heals and let your emotions go and be with the pain. it’ll make sense one day.

    Nice Video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love him so much I can't stop thinking about him, l've tried my very best to get him back in my life, but to no avail, I'm frustrated, I don't see my life as anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts of him, but I can't, I don't know why I'm saying this here, I really miss him and just can't stop thinking about him.

    I’ve been single going on 3 years, I’m past old relationships but self exploration is so important. Learn your boundaries, change the toxic traits you may feel you have and embrace who you are. You should be your strongest relationship, so no matter how many no’s come your way, when you finally get a yes, you don’t push all that trauma onto someone else. ❤ Your doing great and your an amazing person, I know it’s hard right now but I promise you the reward is worth the pain ❤

    I left a relationship because I felt like I didn't have my peace in it. 4 months later, however, it doesn't feel like I'm getting the peace I wanted by leaving the relationship. I can't stop thinking about what I lost when I left the relationship because it doesn't feel like I had even gained anything by leaving it. Every day, I live with doubt and regret even though I know that I made the right decision to leave. I'm terribly lost and confused. You say time will heal this wound Joey, but each day feels worse than the last. I hope things will turn around soon enough.

Actually she ended things and we didn't have a closure at all. She just started acting super cold and got a girlfriend.

What hurt for me the most was how she checked out ages before the break up and just used me, once she was done manipulating me and just kicked me to the curb. She also hid me from the world and now she has a bf and it’s posted everywhere. Never have I hoped Karma exists this much so that she can feel the pain she caused me.

    My gf just broke up with me 2 ago after a really short but amazing 1 year and 2 months, I know it was really short but it was just incredible. The thing is we wanted different things and I was really fine with doing things she liked like living in many countries in the future but I also wanted to have a house together in one place have a family and get old together. But she thought I wanted to do it only for her which kind of was but I wanted it because it made me happy being with her. When she was breaking up with me I asked her that if we love each other we can go through this together… but she said sometime love is not enough, it just broke me. I respect her decision but still… it hurts a lot and I know this is all going to be better but still it hurts really bad.

    I broke up with her because she lied to me, she was very narcissistic and manipulative. I feel stupid for even missing her. I try to remind myself of how I felt during the majority of our relationship and I was always unhappy. I was doubtful of us even getting married, although she was all for it. The term “find somebody that loves you more than you love them” isn’t always the move. They will place you on this pedestal that you know you don’t deserve. She will suffocate you with love and you start to realize that it’s more of an obsession than love. It almost makes me feel like I was never really loved. It was an infatuation, you don’t lie to the people you love. You don’t sneak things behind their back and try to gaslight them when they figure it out. People are crazy, never try to fix someone that it is broken. They will cling onto you and drain you for all that you have. You will lose yourself and ultimately your soul. Your sanity will be questioned, anyone reading this. Look out for people with BPD or NPD, they are master manipulators of the mind and will lie just to keep you around. I may be wrong but this is the problem I’ve ran into twice, just keep your guard up💯

The crazy thing about it is that at the end of the relationship she cheated on me, blamed me for everything, then magically became the sane individual. While I ended up the psychological wreck.

      Dealing with these kinds of people will leave you questioning your own sanity, your own morals, and your naivety. It is common for people to believe that they can fix, heal, or deal with a mentally unhinged person but ultimately you will be damaged beyond repair in the end. The mind games that they play will leave you spinning in circles questioning your every move. Ultimately to have you second guessing everything in your life afterwards. It truly isn’t worth the mental damage these individuals bring, and I’m happy you were able to step away and acknowledge that this was not for you. Many people run back to toxic relationships so it is wise for you to run away from it. You tried your hardest to help this person, so despite what she has tried to blame on you it was not your fault. You gave her love as authentically as you could form it, she made the mistake of taking it for granted and using you for it. That was someone who was not worth it, a poor investment. Continue to run and watch out for similar signs, rebuild this love in yourself first. You deserve someone in your likeness with pureness in their heart and sanity. I pray you are able to find this one day my friend🙏🏽 God Bless

    Honestly one thing that's always helped me short term was some simple material upgrades. Relationship ended and you cancelled a big expensive date? Take that money and get better bedsheets for yourself, some better-fitting shirts, a plant or wall picture you've been eyeing for a while. Guys are more object-oriented than women so making little changes around your house and apartment can help, or plan a trip, give yourself something to look forward to while you have to put a lot of mental energy into planning something. All these other steps are great too, this is just one other thing that's helped me.

    This is my first break up from my first real realtionship. Ive already watched 4 of your videos and while its not anything that i havent already heard it is said in a way that makes a lot of sense. My biggest problem right now is that i see her everywhere in everything i do. Not literally, but the radio, my alarm clock, my bed, my couch, the painting she made on my wall, the necklace she gave me. And thats all before leaving my apartment. Im currently staying at my parents' because i just dont want to be home right now. She has the same job as me too, so even work makes me think of her. Now im laying in an unfilmaliar bed and the last bed i slept in that wasnt mine was her's. I thought a change of scenery would help, but my mind still correlates everything to her. We like a lot of the same stuff so everything i enjoy reminds me of her in some way. Granted we only broke up 2 days ago so i wouldnt expect to get over her so soon, i just didnt realize it hurts this much. She was a lot of firsts for me and i never thought heartbreak would be on that list.

    I have been dating her for almost an year, i loved her with all my heart and even came to a point were we planned our future ahead and 2 weeks before we hit our one year mark she broke up with me. The reason being she was scared that what if her parents do not approve of us and she was scared to take our relationship ahead, she said its better to end now than in the next 5 years, now i kept fighting for her and i was even ready to talk to her parents regarding this but not at the moment as we still have time as i am currently 22 and she being 21 but she never listened and replied saying "I know that it can't continue, i do not want you to keep hopes". This really broke me into pieces thinking how can someone change that quickly and everything was completely normal a day prior. ------- I have never loved anyone like how i loved her.

    Nearly a year together. The relationship was very healthy. We called everyday, we both listened, I took her out on dates. Great emotional and physical chemistry and same core values. Good open communication and conflict resolution, I loved her parents and they loved me. We broke up because I wasn't sure I was going to stay in the US long term and she didn't want to risk getting even more hurt later down the road. Even though I had a job and was planning on staying a several years, it's wasn't enough for her. (I'm Canadian) 3 months goes by and I make the decision to stay long term, only to find out she already moved on to someone else - Going on international trips and making new memories together.
    It made me feel so cheap. Like I was easy to get over, like our time together meant nothing... It feels like a betrayal. One second your best friend is there talking to you till 2am and the next she's gone, doing all those things with someone else...

    I have BPD, which sometimes causes me to lose my temper and say terrible things. While it's no excuse, I completely lose control when my abandonment issues are triggered, leading to verbal outbursts. The anger consumes me, and I often don't remember what I said.
    I could accept being left if they cheated or under other circumstances, but losing two amazing people due to my temper is devastating. It's making me doubt if I'll ever be able to maintain a healthy relationship.
    Growing up with an abusive childhood and an absent, alcoholic father has shaped my people-pleasing tendencies, low self-worth, and unclear boundaries.
    I don't know how to move on. I've never been a player, but if love hurts this much, maybe low-commitment situationships make more sense.
    I'm doing therapy, cold showers, meditation - the whole gamut - but when I'm triggered, nothing seems to help. When I lose control, I really lose control.
    I don't know if I can go through this again. What's the point of life if you can't love?

    Great video man! The way she broke up with me definitely blindsided me and she made me feel so guilty about mistakes, making me feel I was responsible for it, while she never took any actions and accountability for her mental health problems. Within two weeks of breaking up, she hooked up with a guy, and her bedroom still had the things I gave her, like the card I wrote for her was right next to her bed, the condom wrapper was on top of it, she lied to me about not seeing people and cried on my shoulder that she's very sad . The way I found this out was, I had her keys, went into her apartment when she wasn't there, and found all this out, I was again devastated, but that was closure for me

  • @avi_s0ncin0

    It’s so frustrating because I originally ended my relationship because I simply had come back home from the country I went to for a year abroad and where she lives and realized I wasn’t going back in the foreseeable future. But then I started to notice all these things about our relationship that would have been a roadblock regardless if it wouldn’t have been distance that ended it. It’s still so difficult tho, I struggle so much even trying to listen to the bands and artists we both loved, or even remembering the conversations and memories we had together without getting sentimental. I also know that im not anywhere near a position yet physically let alone emotionally just quite yet to start dating again, and im really unsure if i’ll be able to connect with anyone like i was able to with her. I kind of just wish I could stop worrying about the past or finding love in the future, and just focus on myself and getting my life back together. I wish I could just let go of love for a while and not try- just let it happen naturally again when it does, but I’m so worried it won’t unless I actively get on apps or social media again, which I really don’t want to do.

I have no desire to cook for myself, which is something I love to do. I have to force myself to shower, eveything feels so pointless. I keep battling every day trying to survive it, sometimes it feels like I just can't live anymore without that person. They were everything to me, why do I do this to myself?

    The thoughts of her being sexual with anyone else is what kills me every. Single. Time.
    How do I stop thinking of it??

    Do you think, I can be friends with my ex just after we broke up? She alredy found someone else and I dont like this guy. I feel like she is a good person and we broke up in a good way and now she is dating someone who is like far worse than me and I hate the reality.

    How would you best heal when the love of your life (and fiancé, dating for 3 years) starts binge drinking (as a result of grief) which leads to physical abuse towards me. So much so, that the relationship has to end, and she could still not take responsibility. It's so hard to lose a best friend and partner because they transform into somebody you don't recognize. You still see their heart and love and trust them. And yet, they are unable to comprehend the severity of their behavior? It's been 5 months and i still miss her so much

    The problem is that I'm in his friend group, and if I Go through no contact then I won't have any friends that I can talk to everyday.
