“I returned my wedding dress and bought this giant expensive mirror” 😂. You are amazing. Sending you so much love! So happy I recently stumbled upon your channel ❤️
I laughed at that. Go Jess
I feel so proud of how you’re dealing with this. Letting go of things and replacing them with what makes you happy is an incredibly healthy way to heal. Wish you all the love and joy!!!
I was going to ask about the cool mirror. Guess I don't need to. But, I think there's a metaphor in there somewhere. For the time being I'll rest with the obvious.. Reflection, which I think is what's needed and transpiring.
Jess, I’ve been just where you are now. Unfortunately I did leave the door open the first time and got suckered back in, then it happened again and the door was slammed that time. I did like you and made it a no contact zone. That is the best and healthiest way to go. I laughed when you said you returned your wedding dress and bought that huge expensive mirror. Good for you. I just also watched your video from Costa Rica. I know this video and the Costa Rica video are months apart but you’re doing good. I know there are sad times but those will get better with time. Much love and stay safe.
"Rejection is protection" I heard Monica Lewinsky say this on a podcast recently, and it really rings true, when I look back at what I've been protected from, I'm grateful. I feel you've been protected and spared as well. Thank you for sharing so openly.
When my boyfriend broke up with me, I realized I was the winner. He lost someone who loved him, but I didn’t lose someone who loved me!
or you lost someone you loved, all the while he lost someone he didn't love. sorry if that sounds harsh. but people are allowed to end things, especially if they aren't feeling it. it's actually the nice and respectable thing to do rather than to move forward pretending things are mutual.
@@jjm2948 that’s just a nasty comment, not from wisdom.
Wow that is a wonderful way to look at it!! I'm going to remember that in the future ❤
@@roamingwyld if that’s the way she wants to look at it she can. So I don’t understand why you would even comment this.
@@g.roberts12 this is a bruh comment
you are incredible. so well said when it didn’t need to be. you deserve the world jess.
I LOVE YOU
Shouts out to Casey!!! Best Friend Ever!!!! Prayers and well wishes to you as well. Take care :)
I agree. And you will GET the world. The van is just a thing. The dogs are not. I stumbled into your vlog days ago - and now i have to watch all these stories kind of "backwards". This is weird and spooky. But don't stay angry to long. Anger gives you bad and destructive energy. I wish you all the best. You deserve it.
@@dirkjansen4309 me too.... I came across Jess's vlogs a couple days ago. Having watched a ton of PCT thru hikers chronicle their trips, my page took me here . Everything seems to happen for a reason. Jess, you are grieving and going through a litany of emotions, the first being denial , the second is anger. I don't think you will be spend too much time there as your light is too bright to dim in that emotion. You deserve the best and the best will come around to you!!
Jess, for those of us who have experienced this kind of a loss, it is so hard to hear about the deception and lies you had to experience. And your anger is righteous and necessary, a way for you to assert who you are, to end one journey and begin a new one. For those who have undergone such a loss, your videos are incredibly valuable. This is what it looks like to take back control, to move forward while grieving what was and yet look forward to what will be. It's brave, it's necessary, and I think it will help others navigate the loss of a lover and partner, to address that feeling of betrayal when someone you know turns out to be someone different from whom you thought you knew. I was there, and it took me two years to work past it, and I am in awe of your ability to publicly present yourself, hurting and strong and making decisions for yourself that you know will help you. I think your videos, as unexpected as they were for you to ever think about just 4 weeks ago, are going to help many people. I admire your strength, even as I know there will be periods where you still have to work past the pain. To steal a phrase, it gets better.
Very well said, Dana. 👍
I wanted to jump in and say something to support Jess as one whose marriage ended in this way, the hits after it ended and the ‘almost funny’ amount of information that kept coming. Dana you said all this so beautifully, Jess if you read this it honestly does get better probably not as soon as you want it to but it does. It comes and goes in waves, the anger and the grief and the occasional relief from the feelings. Jess you seem so much more all over this than I did when it all went down for me however if there is a book I would recommend that is very validating around the disrespect and abusive nature of this type of behaviour it would be “Leave a cheater, gain a life”. Jess please know you can add one more soul from all the way across the ocean who is cheering you on and is amazed at the strength and beauty of soul and character of you.
Also Jess just so you know, your voice and how you talk about life, it’s always been my soothing place and I find myself randomly smiling whenever I listen to you on your video’s.
Boundaries are so important. You're so strong and amazing for continuing your channel. Lots of people have gone through heart aches this year and your videos really do help. Know that. Hugs from a stranger across the pond.
💯💯💯💯 SO true!
Oh shoot, I didn’t think it ended this way. Nothing but time can make the pain go away. I wish you to keep dealing with the grief in a healthy manner like you are doing right now. You’re allowed to feel the way you do. Feel all the feels and then move on to a better place. ❤️ You got such an amazing community with you. Keep growing, girl. YOU GOT THIS!
Jess, your beauty of spirit, clarity of thought, your strength and your honesty are all utterly inspirational! And the huge mirror is pretty amazing too! Enjoy looking at the wonderful woman you are each time you walk by it...
This happened to me too... I was such a babe in the woods 🤣 To think that you live with someone for 18 years and think they're the ONE person who's on your side, your protector, the betrayal etc etc. Terrible! After 4 years it still hurts. But I'm in my sixties and you're still a beautiful young woman. So yes, take time to say goodbye. Please look at this as a narrow escape. You're on a good path, Jess. Things will be okay. No contact is the best decision, believe me. Stay strong. Deal with the anger in therapy. Break a few plates. 🤗
Well said. 👍
Same here, only it was 23 1/2 years. It's been over 6 years, and I'm happier now than I have ever been!
I know how you feel. Was married 24yrs and my then wife left me for someone else. I was left upset, mad and confused. Six yrs later, it no longer bothers me. The person she left me, died not too long after she left. To this day, we don't speak to each other even though we are at Birthday and holiday dinners with the grandkids. It will get better in time. If your like me, you feel robbed of the time you did give and devote. You truly are a great person. Hugs.
All I’m going to say is I’m thankful you are the one who took over the channel. I’ll leave it at that.
I came to the comments because I thought I had things to say, but I have no words… in a good way. You’re just SUCH a good person. We’re rooting for you. And absolutely YES to a digital wine date with the uphill adventure club. 🍷✨ Keep soaring!
Coming from an old gizer . Make sure her name isn't on the mortgage deed etc. Make sure your name isn't on the van. Big hugs 🤗 your doing good. You deserve the only the best. Keep smiling 😃
Another old geezer here.. Don't drink alcohol during these periods. It feels good in the moment, but it can be it's own downward spiral...
@@NeverTakeNoCut-offs a glass of wine here and there isn’t bad though. Too much of anything is never good, but in moderation it can be nice
X2 w/Diane…. make sure her decisions cannot still affect you. She’s lost that right! I’m so proud of how you are presenting yourself. Guiltily, I’d love to hear all the things you’re learning. But please work on your journey, that’s what I’m here for. Love you Jess, I think you’re amazing and I can’t wait to follow your journey.
This is good advice. We split all assets evenly at the end of our marriage, each taking a car and household furnishings. We didn't refinance the loans on the cars and when they didn't keep up with their payments, the bank was coming after me for payments. Really messed up my credit. Sorry you are going through this, but time will heal your heart.
@@anneliesjoss of course!, but when you use alcohol as a medication, it can really get out of hand if you have that tendency
Anger is ok. It's even healthy. Anger shows that you know your self worth and you know your boundaries. Anger means you know when you've been wronged and you know its not ok.
Anger is not a bad emotion. There is no shame or "wrong" in anger. You do not need to bottle it away. Just like all the other emotions you've gone through, you need to give it light... air... and empathy... and then let it go. Which you are clearly doing
Very true!
Well said!
You dodged a bullet Jess. Truly. I admire your grace and you are wise beyond your years. You’re crushing it! Love the mirror by the way!!
Healthy boundaries, yes... You got this.. Stay strong and we are here for you..Live your best life right now...Enjoy each day some day you will be glad you seen the real person in that relationship. Sad..but true that was just a chapter in the book of life, You are a beautiful person... It's time for you to bloom.. Loved the smile...
Something deep down was telling me this was the case. But it’s still unbelievable how you two were engaged, about to get married, while this other person was in her life (and this other person was okay with that? Kinda sh*tty… sorry for the language). If that isn’t just… I don’t have a word for it. I can definitely understand the anger now bc I’d be angry too but I’m so sorry you had to go through that and you MOST definitely deserve SO much better but you know that. Good for you for being transparent about the whole thing because I think that’s a big step in itself to moving on. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but I’m so excited for what’s to come for you. I have so much respect and admiration for you - keep shining in spite of 💕
Your “we broke up” video randomly showed up on my recommended videos one day, and I decided to watch. I’m so glad I did because your personality is seriously the best. How you handle yourself and the situation is amazing. The control you have to not just spill all of the “tea” out of anger is inspiring. I’m not sure I’d be able to do that. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through all of this but you gained a subscriber and i know you have such an amazing life ahead of you. And I also subscribed for the cute dogs 😉
🥰🥰🥰
YES JESS! There is so much power in being angry! You look happier in this video despite talking about an obviously painful topic. Actually this weekend, a friend of mine told me my ex has just been left by the guy she left me for about 15 months ago and you know what? 99% of me couldn't give a hoot but that other 1% is ecstatic after the way she treated me throughout our relationship I'd love to be the 'bigger person' but honestly? She deserves it :D All the best Jess
Sounds like Sara is spiraling down and you are soaring up ! Wine and workouts, friends and puppy hugs 🥰
Get her name off the mortgage is a must .
💯
Yes! Have her sign a Quit Claim Deed.
@@TikiBirdTracy Well you have to make sure you have full ownership of the house and a quit claim deed on its own won't do that. Make sure you total ownership of the house.
The best way to get her name off the mortgage is to refinance the loan. That’s what I did.
You are so much stronger than you realize! I’m 9 months away from where you are now in terms of breaking up. I appreciate you and your ability to be honest, transparent and angry! Let it all out, let yourself feel it so you can heal and move on.
Her being gone is a BLESSING.
❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
It's good to find out what kind of person she really is before the wedding. Now you have a fresh start and you will be so much happier...
You never know someone, truly know someone until the shit hits the fan, then you see what they’re about and what they’re made of! Stay classy Jess, stay classy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just have to say...you are one of the sweetest "angry persons" I've ever seen. And soo respectful. Beautiful inside and out...and loved by sooo many. I'm soo sorry for the hurt you feel regarding Sarah....but....you are on a much better path now...with soo much potential for happiness in front of you. Be strong...keep looking forward...let your sweet spirit shine. Your smile and happiness is infectious and heartwarming. The only behavior we can control is our own...and you're doing a great job. Surround yourself with with your fur babies and people that truly love you...you are going to be fine.!!!💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
I'm so impressed with the calm maturity you demonstrate. Thanks for sharing your story.
Been down that road, my 1st love left me for someone else after 10 years and today I'm so grateful she did! I have been with my wife now for 34 years and couldn't be happier. Love will find you again and it will be Spectacular! You are on the right path, Self Awareness, Self Help, Self Love!❤
I feel like we are experiencing exactly the same situations. Except I was already married, not that it makes it any more/less difficult. I found out SO much hurtful information after the fact and it sent me spiraling. My partner also left me for someone else. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I felt betrayal on an indescribable level and I still wonder if any part of my relationship was even real. It’s such an odd and terrible feeling. Watching this brought me right back and my heart is hurting for you!
you are blossoming even if it hurts 🌞 sending endless support & love your way
People take such a turn sometimes it’s unreal. Been there.
Same here too!
Jess, i feel you , i was in the same situation , my wife left me suddenly 3 years ago and i also realised i didn't know her actually , there was a lot of hurt and anger , we also have a dog - beautiful golden retirever that stayed with me - and he got me through when the chips were down - you will get through because indeed you don't deserved this - you are a great woman and keep it up - you will overcome this :)
Your strength this early on in setting a no contact boundary is amazing! 💪🏾I still struggle w that.
But you inspire & help me (e.g. I have taken the trashcan to the alley & brought it back to the house for 2 weeks in a row, thanks to you!) Hopefully your no contact boundaries will help me too! Jess is doing it & so can I! 👯🏾♀️💗
Hope you are doing well now, I think many can relate when you said maybe I never knew her . . Happens all the time . . .blessings
Your strength and maturity for someone your age is amazing 👏. You have taken this with such grace. I know you don't know me but I am so proud of you for taking up for yourself. Wow. Sending you prayers and well wishes. Take care :)
I am so astonished at how well you articulate your thoughts and emotions. You certainly are well-centered. Keep on keeping on.
I’m so glad you got the channel in your divided assets❤️ super happy to keep seeing you more and more!
You are Crushing this recovery phase! Luv it! Luv that ur allowing others, who may not have the same support from fam n frens as you, but can see u as a beacon of faith to hope n happiness.
Thank you for sharing the details of this event. I know this couldn't have been easy for you. I am so sorry that she chose to treat you that way. I'm elated to hear that you're doing well. I personally believe anger breeds strength in our actions, our cognitions, and progressing forward. I also want to thank you for sharing your genuine grieving process with all of us. It's helped me center my mind on things I cannot control, it has called me to check into my own empathy, and has made so many of us feel a sense of solidarity. I look forward to continuing to watch your journey unfold. 🌻🌌🌿
Beautifully said ❤️
Thanks for sharing! I’m actually going through something similar where my significant other decided to leave me for another person. But you closing the door and making sure that you are willing to set a boundary and not have a romantic relationship in the future with them is really inspiring. I’m not sure how to avoid these types of people in the future, but I know they have a lot of insecurities within themselves that cause them to cheat. Thanks for being strong, it’s really inspiring me to do the same ❤️
My partner of 4.5 years cheated on me and of course I found out. That was not a good time in my life - I was angry that I was not worth the truth and I certainly was not as clear minded as you are .. .. your reflections are incredible .. It’s evident that you are on the right track :) I am so inspired by your strength and your self worth .. .. love and light..
Im new to you and I love you! Im going through the cutting off of people who were near and dear to me and it sucks. To see you and hear how you are handling this makes me feel like I'll be ok. I can be as strong as you ❤
HOLY FFUUUDDDDDGGGE 😳!!! I am so incredibly proud of you for how far you have come in such a short time. Good on you for setting boundaries and enforcing them. The whole situation is sad, but you are giving yourself some very well-deserved self care. Look at you getting out and doing some new things. It seems like you have a good handle on how to proceed forward. I’m glad to hear you have the loving support of family and friends. By the way, great mirror! Take care of yourself. See you Sunday. Hugs to Ollie snd Ro. 💛
You are handling everything with such dignity. Boundaries are so important when you're feeling vulnerable and healing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings and here's to the future ❤️
Great that you are working through your anger!! Healthy boundaries and no contact will give you the space you need to heal your heart! You’ve got this! Hugs to you❤️and wishing you joy! I would love a wine drinking livestream!! I’m in!
Jess you are such a warrior! I also experienced panic attacks from contact after what I thought was the love of my life crossed trust boundaries during our breakup. It would make me literally shiver when he’d call. All situations are different but I experienced those big emotions in waves and they got smaller and smaller over time. Just focus on your life with you, because that’s is the person who will 100% always be there. It’s crazy how strong we are when we have to be. By the way I just married the purest person who would never betray me (but I know I can handle it if he would), and believe we cross paths with people when it’s meant to be.
I am 5 mins in and what first comes to mind is that you’re a well adjusted woman, and impressive. You’re going to be fine. And wow… for a couple weeks, it is what I assumed. Continue to take the high road. You know you are better off. There was your life before, and plenty of life after. In time, it will all be in the rear view mirror, and a better more meaningful happiness in the future. Good luck! I am rooting for you!!
I felt her distance from your videos . I said to myself she has someone else . . I’ve been there . You will get through this . Do a lot of self care and honor your feelings
Me too. I came across this channel recently and watched one video and I was thinking that woman has a new love interest. It was so obvious to me just watching the video.
I thought, am I the only one who saw Sarah distancing herself, it was happening over a period of months. It was like she was disengaged, and moving on long before she left.
@@rockingredpoppy9119 This channel popped up in my feed, so I watched one video and thought to myself Sarah is done with all of this and has a new love interest. So, no you were not the only one seeing that reality.
I am so proud of you, your bravery and honesty. New life, new chapter. Thank you. I’m so sorry you had to address this. It is your life.
That mirror is beautiful and so are you! So sorry that this happened to you, I hope you can stay strong and thank goodness you have your beautiful fur babies with you, they’re great emotional support 💞
I cannot even begin to tell you how well I relate to when you say that she has treating you with such disregard that just leaves you feeling... like youre in the twilight zone. It happened to me, a person changed on me so much. But I dont think the person I thought I saw was ever really there. It is mind blowing how people can behave like that, the dishonesty, the unkindness. From someone you though that, if nothing else, they can always be trusted to be honest and kind to me. The feeling is inexplicable and unimaginable.
I am so proud of you. My eyes are swelling with tears because I am so damn proud of you. Keep looking forward and know you have so much support!
Like you said, you deserve so much more.
Don't let anyone bring you down about dating. There is nothing wrong with going out and meeting new people.
You are so strong and such an inspirational woman. ❤
Thanks Arielle! ❤️🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing. I love how each vlog you have grown stronger and more confident. You did get the best end of the deal, you got the dogs. They are priceless. Take care!
It was such a hard thing for me to experience how cruel someone I loved could be. You are working through and not hiding from these emotions, feel everything and eventually, choose to move on. You deserve to be free and open to new beginnings. As this comment section shows, there are so many lovely people in the world.
Jess ,please stay strong. It is not worth losing your health for any human being. I have been through a similar event and now I understand how stupid I was then. Personally, nature and my dogs have helped me more than any human. Life is short. Keep looking forward and not backwards. Love from Greece .
Thank you so much for being honest. You’ve come so far in your break-up process. And believe me when I tell you you are helping so many of us with being open. My boyfriend left me 3 weeks ago out of the blue and I’m still so sad. So seeing you how you handle everything is giving me hope.
You accomplished a number of things by sharing that with us. Thank you for doing so. That was a giant step in continuing on the journey of becoming you.
Thank you so much for the info you shared. You answered pretty much all of the questions that I have been thinking about. Obviously all of us who followed your channel were “invested” in your joint journey. You absolutely do deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. You were betrayed in the worst possible way. I have great respect for how you have handled yourself. Absolutely time to move on. No looking back. I will continue to watch and support your channel as you begin and continue to walk your own path in your solo (for now) journey. Your precious dogs are lucky to have you. Please meet with an attorney to make sure that you are legally protected in every way. Oh, and the music that you lead with sounds like Sarah’s guitar playing. Now would be a good time to choose an into music that suits you. God bless you and bring you the happiness you deserve.
Thank you for sharing. I'm just going to send you love, light, joy, and peace as well as HUGS!!
Wow. Only love and admiration for you girl. Speechless. You're pure power. You got this.
I was worried when she stopped the 2nd Pct attempt. Seemed like you sacrificed a lot to support her in that and she quit at the same point as before (like I get it’s hard but the whole vibe seemed off).
So much love x
I noticed something then too. Super sad. Loved them together. But I love seeing Jess soar more! Keep at it lady! Your kicking Butt.
Yes, it was a bit of a whiplash. She's doing the PCH. She's taking a break. She's back on the PCH. she quit.
Seems to have a problem with commitment
Agreed. I picked up a strange vibe from her during that video. She mentioned meeting people that she really vibed with while on the trail. I'm guessing she's with one of those people now. I always noticed that Jess was the one who seemed to be more affectionate in their videos. She was warm and real, where you know who seemed distant and almost cold. I'm not trying to disparage her in any way, it's just something I noticed, and now I guess it makes sense. She was distant because she truly wasn't present, and living a double life. Jess, your smile looks beautiful on you. And, that's one bad ass mirror! Hugs to Jess and those sweet boys.
@@sinjon Agreed. A "quiter".
Girl, I am SO proud of you!
There are always two sides to the story but I gather from what you're saying that Little Miss got cold feet and ran, ran, ran. Welp, then you stay grounded in your spot and make the most of your life.
Because, as I've said before, I'm old, and I've been there - you do get through it. You do get through the anger stage and every other stage of grieving. It may take a while but it will happen. I promise.
I am so happy that you got the mirror you wanted! That's awesome! It's gorgeous btw!
You and your puppies are a solid family and I know, judging by your words, you will make the most of your world.
I'm so glad you have a lot of support around you!
Your beautiful inside and out, I wish to have your strength one day, and your DAMN RIGHT, you deserve so much better. You give me strength, thanks for sharing your feelings, just recently found your channel, I'm now along for the ride😍 Take care of you and keep smiling that beautiful smile❤️
Thank you for sharing this. It's so easy for someone to basically forget the other when they have someone else in their life. It hurts but you'll get over it. You're doing great. Keep it up. Get back to the beautiful person you were before her.
We love you so much! So sorry you have to go through this, you really do deserve so much better. Also - I really like you showing your anger because honestly? A whole mood. Especially in a situation like this. Keep on blasting good 4 u, we're here for you
You are strong. Not because of the breakup but just because it’s who you are. This was incredibly hard and traumatic. But you are strong individual. You are your own person. You have our own life to live. Do the things you love. Take naps, travel abroad, spend time with friends and your pups. Discover yourself! I think if you can.. take a solo trip. Somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. Be the independent confident women you are.
Girl! Never allow anyone to disrespect you, especially a partner. You deserve so much more.
You are doing amazing. Thank you for sharing. Be well and be happy.
Jess, I am so sorry you are going through this. You are a beautiful woman full of life and love and will come out of this stronger! Stand strong and continue no contact , even if her situation blows up, you can not allow yourself to get sucked back in. This healing process is minute by minute, hour by hour, then day by day. Anger is definitely an emotion you have to move through, you are entitled to that emotion after someone disrespects you to this level. Everything she is doing defines her and says absolutely nothing about you!
Ouch!!! That's really tough. Thankfully it happened before you actually got married because that would have made everything so much more complex for you to get out of. You deserve so much better and I know you'll find it. Just don't rush into anything. Take all the time you need to grieve and sort your new life out. Wonderful things are coming your way and one day, none of this will matter. Stay strong and take every bit of happiness you can from each day.
While I'm very sorry to hear she's not the person you thought she was, I'm so grateful you found out now!
I'm fist pumping for you over here because YES, you DO deserve better and seeing the light in your eyes when you say that, ooof, makes me smile! Ps.... Yes wine!
Jess...keep forward on your path. You've got this! It was very apparent in the video that talked about the Pacific Trail that your partner was already gone emotionally. I'm sorry if that statement is painful...It's what I read from her eyes...watch the ending of that video...there is a warmth in your eyes...a vacancy in hers. Be bold and build your dream life xox
You’re a beautiful person!! I wish you all the joy and love you deserve! Love and hugs!
Speaks to her character that she waited until you were going to be married before doing what she did. Also not wanting the dogs.... who can just walk away from the fur faces? She's a coward. Stay strong and keep moving forward.
Right? I just CANNOT believe this. Go Jess. Kick ass and take no prisoners.
I don't find her leaving the dogs to be a character flaw. It may have been very painful for her but she wanted to do what was best for them.
@@purselmer5931 The character flaw I spoke of was her not having the decency to be honest long before they were on the road to their wedding. Why go that far into what was obviously a lie?
@@kristyb3714 Oh yeah, I agree w/you on that one. Just thought you were dissing her about the dogs too. If not, sorry about that. :-)
@@kristyb3714 you don’t suppose u know what is in another’s mind do you? Wow, you could be a psychic and work at circuses like this one you’re in.
This journey of your love and break up should go down as an example of how to move through love and letting go… your inner strength is shining through! Your higher self is holding you up! I know we don’t see the messy side but we all know it’s there… we don’t need to see it… seriously though this is inspirational and many young ladies going through similar events need to see how it’s done… I’ve only seen your channel this last month so I’ve not known you and Sarah as a couple but nonetheless I feel so inspired by your strength… thank you for being the example of strength… we need woman like you in this day and age! Good bless!
So sorry to hear what happened. Hard to believe. It does seem ironic that your channel is called “Uphill Adventure”, as you are certainly working uphill at the moment. Best wishes and good luck. Oliver will not desert you
Yes! Living by yourself is awesome IMO. I thoroughly enjoy it! & that mirror is 😍😍. I have always liked your decorating style--even the pothos & other plants you had at the entryway to the van.
Did you ever get the plant you ordered when you first moved into the house? I'd love to see it. 🪴🌱
Jess you literally deserve the world. Thank you for opening up to us, we’re here for you always 💛
Sorry for the circumstances of the break up and all that pain and anger, but cheers to you for putting yourself first and focusing on building a new life for you and your furry friends! I think many of us may have been through something similar at one point or another and probably have not handled it quite so well. I love your example of how to heal and move forward, it’s wonderful to see, despite the traumatic circumstances. Take care and be well!
I'm so glad to see you smile. ☺
Not even watched the first five minutes and even though you describe yourself as currently angry, I am happy that you are going through the process. All the love for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so happy that you’re feeling strong! You are brave, you are a queen!
Fuck yes! You’re experience with growing through grief is so fucking beautiful watch!
Only recently came across your channel and I can relate to your pain. I feel for you and I know it may not feel like it now but you seem to have had a lucky escape. The last 8 years aren't a waste and you will have learnt so much. You will come out the other side of it much stronger and you already seem to be taking the right steps so really well done on that. I know how tough it is from personal experience.
U do U!
Love seeing you smile and feeling your feelings!
There is such a positive mess about you now that has never been as apparent from past videos…at least for me.
You are a beautiful gal inside and out and any person would be fortunate to know you.
Blessing from the western USA!!! 💕
Keep moving forward and glad you stopped contact. It's the only way to get through this. Hanging on, communicating only keeps the wound from healing when you know it's over. As far as the house verse the Van... like you said there's a mortgage. However you both decided to split the assets is your business. I'm glad you are doing better, getting out, even dating some . That's fantastic. Good for you 🤗😘
♥️Jess. Thanks for sharing. You are SEEN and unconditionally LOVED. The best is yet to come!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️ (I hope and pray your mom is doing better♥️🙏♥️🙏)
Her loss... you are awesome!
Look at you grow ;) you're going to see EVERYTHING come to you as you've always wanted it to. Years and years of manifestation will be at your door daily. Because the universe is here to show you, she's been waiting for you. And she's ready to work on YOU with YOU! Sending so much love hun!
Sending you love, light, continued healing, and strength. You’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad you know that.
It took me almost six months to tell my ex-wife to stop contacting me, and even now I will sometimes go and look at her new socials and creep on what she’s doing. You’re a boundary-setting inspiration and I’m going to take a leaf out of your book and stop looking. 💗
It was years ago, but I certainly remember my own experience like that, and how awful it was for me. So I can truly sympathize with you. There's a song from 1966 that perfectly fits what happened. It's called "We'll Sing in the Sunshine". I hope you'll take time to listen to it on UA-cam, because it contains a real message --- a way of looking at what happened, a way of understanding it.
Holy wow! Your honesty with this phase in life is unbelievably helpful to so many folks. Letting us join you on these painful realizations is truly a gift. I hope you give yourself the space and grace to come through this phase stronger, healthier, with your soul intact. Thank you!!!!!
You’re so awesome ♥️ Sorry you had to go thru that bullshit… you’re so, so much better off alone, with your dogs :)
Wow what a story jess!!!!! You are a strong amazing woman who WILL get through this. I always thought you were too good for her. Stay strong you beautiful soul. You deserve the world and the right person IS out there for you xxx

I’ve had many friends who have gone back only to have the same thing happen. You are going to have a wonderful joyful life!
You are doing wonderful!! Thank you for continuing on sharing your life!! Can't wait to see where you go!!
Your I broke up video just popped up in my recommendation one day. And I feel and understand your pain. Nearly 2 years ago my relationship of 4 and a half years ended badly I poured my heart and soul into that relationship only to have her be cheating on me for 4 months in those 4 months she was talking about a wedding and another kid. I feel your pain your doing so well and I can tell you it does get better it just takes time and alot of crying I'm definitely subscribing to follow you on your journey though this new chapter of life
I see an amazing progress since the video in which you visited places you shared with her. I'm so proud of you. You found your way. Keep strong!
I was with my ex for 10 years and he ghosted me to leave me for someone else. Didn't even tell me. Just stopped talking to me. I found out from friends what happened. This is 8 years ago now. I was in med school. I am so glad I had that, med school that is, because it saved me. I didn't have time to let it break me down. I rose up and stayed strong and now I am a dermatologist with an amazing career and my life is amazing. Still single though. I am 37. Female. But I think he did me a favor looking back. I am so sorry you are going through this.
We all wanna know...are you a Doctor now?
I absolutely agree that you MUST be true to yourself! It doesn't matter how the world views you. It took me ages to figure that out. I would always turn my anger (& other "negative" emotions) inward & that eventually stresses the body with negative results. I am proud of you!
