    For everybody going through a breakup right now, lemme tell u something, it's gonna be okay, give it time. Now you're grieving, but in a few months, it will hurt less and you're gonna find inner peace. Keep going. Don't consider your relationship as over, consider it as completed, it's gonna make a huge difference. May God Help us.

      ​@@FBread-xj8qk You already have the answers...it feels devastating, because at your point in life you might have thought that this relationship resembles your future; the only fault here being that you think THE RELATIONSHIP with THAT PERSON is THE ONLY WAY to a fulfilled future...and that's not true. I know how it feels, because I've recently been dumped by someone I thought would be my future. It all got mixed up in my head (with my other past relationship) and my feelings of self worth CRUSHED. No meaning without that person - is what I thought. But one thing helped me: actually switch how you think about the "worth" of that RELATIONSHIP. It's the WORTH YOU GIVE IT. What I mean? The relationship must've triggered such thoughts and feelings of WHAT YOU WANT and WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. But those things were INSIDE YOU all along. That encounter just helped you notice those...What to do now? Reflect on THOSE THINGS and see that you can achieve so much without that person. Also: if the person does not see the beauty in your person and character, then I guess it's better the relationship is over. You will survive it. I am also trying and really GRATEFUL for the insights the person gave me. It was not the right time. But I learned a lot about myself and the world around.

    Step 2 advice is so solid. I tried to be friends with my ex for 3 years and we finally just cut ties. We dated for 2 years and we lived together as roommates for a year and a half after. I def held out hope we would get back together even though I dated others. Once he said he wanted to focus on himself but he still wanted to be friends. I had to be honest with myself that I knew I wanted more. So I made the decision to cut ties all together. Deleted all pics, text and his number. It’s not easy but it’s def the best thing you can do. I’m only 5 days out of the separation but I have accepted and began the process of letting go with love and appreciation.

    I think that erasing their digital footprint on all your devices is more effective than just blocking or unfollowing them. Mute their posts, stop checking their social media, delete chats, delete pictures… if you’re like me and you’d use these to get a fix or get triggered by them, erase their digital footprint on all your devices. Otherwise, you’re prolonging the healing process. I still can’t bring myself to unfollow or block though because it feels too drastic compared to how civilly the break up went.

    Wife of 4 years...
    Just told me she was leaving Sunday morning and has not spoken a single word to me since. Feel like I'm a ghost in my own home and I have to see her morning, noon and night. She made it even worse last night because when I climbed into bed she got up and went and slept on the couch. It's like death by a thousand cuts because I have to watch her packing her things, move, etc. It's going to take months. There is no ripping the band aid off and just deleting photos and phone numbers, etc. This has been absolutely unbearable.
    UPDATE - We sought couples therapy and I thought we had gotten past her issues. Her biggest one was that she claims I always made my daughters my priority vs her. We each have 2 kids from our priors. Well, we woke up on Christmas morning in a great mood. Around noon I told her my oldest daughter was coming over for Xmas and spending the night. Apparently I forgot to ask and discuss it with her. She completely flipped...started screaming at me, cussing at me and told me it was over. Stormed out of the house as the kids were about to open presents and that was it. She didn't come back until late Christmas night. Presents are still under the tree. She told me she'd be out in 6 weeks and moved into another bedroom. Hasn't spoken a single word to me since. I just don't know what to do. This is insanity. Who flips out because one of the children comes over on Christmas?!?! I would never expect her to ask me if one of her sons can come over.

      @@ctgeorgia Glad to hear that it has gotten better. But it sounds like it must be extremely though to be in your situation... I agree that it is definitely better to be alone than with somebody that slowly sucks the life out of you. Of course in all relationships there will be problems, but the - let's call it - effort/reward ratio should be reasonable one for both parties, and no one should sacrifice too many pieces of themselves to keep something going.
      I don't know if you're both open to that, but has she considered therapy? It sounds like it might be a good step into diving into the root of the problem.
      When it comes to myself it's been tough few months for me.
      I'm 26 and I've been dating someone that is 7 years older and I think that the age-gap in our case makes too much difference for me (for many different reasons) to keep this "relationship" going. It seems that it would be the best for me to let this go, but I just can't bring myself to do it due to some feelings that I feel for her. But I think I'm just delaying the inevitable

    It feels reaally disappointing because I thought she was the one, and it just feels like she doesn't like me as much as I do. It hurt my self esteem and respect especially because i was selfless in the relationship. Thanks for the advice here, it makes me feel less alone that others are struggling with the same thing.

    I keep searching for her face and body when I look for other women to be involved with. The 11 week rule helped a lot because it put a barometer on the amount of time it could take to get over this. Trying to imagine her as not existing anymore is a big help but the delusion of it makes it hard. Never had a break up this bad, I'm just trying to use it as a teaching moment. I'm seeing what I could improve on as a person and what I can use as motivation going into my next relationship. If we didn't break up the way we did I don't think I would've seen my biggest flaw, but this shit is hard to get over. I didn't realize how great she was until I knew I couldn't go back and social media let me see things that made it hurt more.

  • @Miramiee
    @Miramiee 28 днів тому +3

    I broke up with him last week, and I still regret it. I had been bouncing the idea of breaking up with him in my mind for months because I wasn't getting the relationship I needed, but ultimately I stayed because I loved him. Every day I wished he was different: like that man I knew when we first started the relationship. But stress and life took a toll on us, and led me to cutting the cord. It was my first relationship. Nothing had ever prepared me for the absolute obliteration, even as the person who initiated the break up. Send help. :'(

      I commend you on your courage and generosity. The fact that you didn't rush into breaking up with him but listened to your love for a while speaks volumes to me. I did the same, I thoroughly loved the woman, but I was beginning to pay the price of her lack of self-awareness and inability to process her feelings. I thank you for putting it so simply: you weren't getting the relationship you needed; neither was I, even if I liked many things about her. It was killing me. I hope you will find a person that truly deserves you and that so will I. For the moment, let yourself be

    Stumbled on this video and have never seen your stuff before. All excellent advice but I really want to commend you for providing honest and humble advice. So tired of seeing other influencers push toxic advice shrouded in some BS masculine agenda
    As a dude. It’s okay to feel sad and hurt because you miss a girl that you loved. And depending on the situation, your ex may not deserve to be viewed as some worthless commodity.
    You don’t need to demonize your ex to move on but you do need to move on and the advice here is a healthy way to start.

    The reason people obsess with how their ex is doing is not necessarily because you still love them and want them back, in fact often times you know you want something/someone different...The real reason is you have control issues. Once you understand it's not love that keeps you thinking of that ex, you should and will start moving on. Give it a few months and if you can, make new friends and connections or reach out to close existing ones..New interactions will become more important than old ones by pure recency bias. Your heart and mind will instinctively say, ENOUGH! when the time is right and you will come out on the other side hopefully having learned how you can be a better partner when the next person comes along.

It hurt so bad that i cried every minute, hadn't eaten anything until now, and then after our break up, he promised me that he would change himself for me, and after a few days, he said that he would go to the girl he cheated on me with. I feel like dying because he broke my heart again. I feel so stupid for not wanting him to go after all he did because i really love him, and now that it is all over, i don't know how to help myself forget him.

    Healing from a breakup can be tough, but know you're not alone. I'm on this journey too, and it's okay to feel the pain. But remember, you deserve to heal, grow, and find happiness again.
    But here's the thing: you deserve to heal, to grow, and to find happiness again. It's time to prioritize your own heart, to protect yourself from the what-ifs, and to focus on the incredible person you are.
    Remember, moving on doesn't mean erasing the memories or the love you shared. It means acknowledging the past, learning from it, and embracing the present with an open heart.
    Keep moving forward, even when it feels like the smallest step.
    Let's prioritize our own hearts, protect ourselves, and focus on the incredible people we are. We got this, and we're in this together!

    No contact is the most painful method to get over. I have done both. Spending my time after break up with contact and without contact.
    After my divorce I stayed on contact with my ex wife and I got over her pretty easily. I saw her flaws and bad attitude every day and my desire towards her died out soon. She was just an average woman for me I did not want back.
    With my lovely gf who dumped me out of the blue without any serious reason I started the no contact. And it is damn terrible. I think about her damn every day. I miss her more and more. I idealize her. I can not get over her at all.
    After the last break up and during the no contact I am actually the human wreckage. I hide this and I make brave face but I am destroyed inside.

    to a much lesser degree you also have to deal with electronic ghosts when people are not metaphorically but actually dead to you. I had to deal with stuff like that after my mother died a few years ago. removing her number from my contacts archiving message threads removing buy gifts reminders from my google calendar etc. obviously this is not someone I am trying to forget but cutting down on the little electric jabs that she isn't here anymore helps a little with the grieving.

    There's some good stuff here, but be careful, because not everyone who throws themselves into a new venture gets positive results. If you hit the gym and get jacked, only to not be able to attract a new girl, or dedicate yourself to a new business, only to have it go nowhere, it can actually make you feel worse about yourself because you did what you were supposed to do and put in the time, but didn't get the results.
    It's like if you decide to go out to get laid on a Friday night to suppress the pain, but end up going home alone, and it's your 12th time in a row striking out. What started as a way to make yourself feel better and move on backfired, and now you feel worse than you did before.
    Be even MORE careful with the exercise at the end of imagining your perfect partner. Because while some people might do so and actually manage to attract them into their lives, if you do that, then go on to meet many girls who fulfill that vision, only to have none of them have any interest in you, it hurts. A lot.

It was important to me for things to end in a civilized way, but that didn't make it any easier. I'm getting the USB key tomorrow. I've cried all the tears I had to cry and it's taken me a month to get to the point where I'm finally ready to let her go. I'm glad I've had this person in my life because she made me fall in love for the first time in many, many years. I wish her well and I hope she finds peace.
