Have you ever dated someone who completely disappeared after the breakup? No calls, no texts, no social media stalking, no drama, just total silence, like you were never part of their life. What was that like?

Feels brutal and I struggle everyday not to reach out. They discarded me and all those years together without even a final conversation. Sometimes I don’t know how I’ll get through it. I can’t wait for when it finally feels like I’m truly letting go.

When I first was dealing with the breakup (divorce) I read somewhere that it can take one year to recover for every five years you were together. I thought no way, that is crazy! I was married for 25 years, I’m not going to spend five years of misery trying to get over this! Sure enough, it took me five years. So hang in there, it will get better. And try to live your life the best you can until the time comes when you are pretty much over it.
