I must move on then

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, the relationship probably isn't going to re-form, sadly. Can anyone give me any tips on how to move on? It hurts.

Don't contact them. Even if you're planning on staying friends, leave it at least a month to accept that it's over.

Distract yourself and hang out with friends, family etc. as much as possible. Even if you don't feel like it, it's important not to let yourself stay alone too often or you'll keep dwelling on it.

No problem. Good luck. It will get easier over time

Thanks Lene.

It kind of hurts though... it was only recent that it ended and we were together for two years in a long distance relationship. I will never understand complete emotional detachment from a relationship, and I sort of wanted to hope for two years if she can get things going on her end to form a relationship that suits her needs, but I can't hold onto it like that.
It doesn't feel very natural to me, for her to just completely move on like that.

Oh well - I will just feed my comforts philosophically and know that I can be free from this.

The feelings never really go away. I still feel at least a little something for the women in my past. Some more so than others. All you can do is move on to something else. If you were able to have one relationship then you are capable of having another. I don't look at them as failures but as learning experiences. I learn more about myself and what I want and don't want in a woman each time.
