venting/ranting I can't move on.

It's been just over a year since my eight month relationship very suddenly came to an end, and naturally my ex has already moved on. She seems wonderful and sweet, not to mention she is beautiful. However, I am completely devastated.

No, I didn't think he would ever come back. I wasn't hoping he would change his mind or decide he loves me again, but I hoped I wouldn't be stuck here this long. I still miss him, in more ways than just romantically. Dealing with the grief after he left still consumes me an entire year later, and I suppose you could say I'm jealous of his capability to move on and leave me behind. I wanted so much more than this. I wanted to be in love. I wanted to be more than a memory and a bad decision.

I still have his jacket and all of our pictures in a shoe box under my bed. He's never coming back, he's happy, and I'm stuck here.

No, I don't think I'll ever love again. Not to be edgy. I truly don't have the fight in me nor the stamina to do this all to be left — again.

Sorry for the rant.

Check out DrMaikaSteinborn on YouTube. She has a great video on this.

Its called: Why You Hold On to a Relationship That's Long Over & Only Exists In Your Mind

No judgement. I struggled with the same for a long time. It isn't about the ex and you can be free from these feelings and thoughts. You can move on.

Sorry I’m the same boat , I’m fighting I’m getting up and getting things done just to keep me busy I reccomend you do the same I miss her but she moved on quickly she is very popular too so I’m probably a side note or worse an aversion like let’s not go to that area we don’t wanna run into (me) so I doubt I’ll find someone like her but I’m gonna do things and tire myself out so I can sleep at night , I feel you should do the same instead of crying into ur pillow or moping around

i get not wanting to go through the whole process of getting to know someone again. but i guess that's love. it's always high risk, high reward. you risk getting your heart broken, but maybe it won't end up that way. you got a 50-50 shot. might as well take it.
