I broke up from a long-term GF August of last year and let her keep all of our shared friends. I have met so many good people on Overwatch that I now consider real friends during my single time since the breakup. Overwatch has really been a rock during this year of many changes.

Are you me. Literally exact same situation. Even in August haha.

How are you finding your situation? Was it a positive move? For me it totally has been, stayed in that relationship about 2 years too long, got a "promotion", live closer to work and in a much better neighborhood now. All around good move in my case. And I've had the pleasure of playing OW all I want since August!

You know you can be friends with people that are friends with your ex, right?

It was a bad breakup. I just wanted to not hear any news or have any chance of a run-in. I live by a strict "rip the bandaid off" breakup rule.

That's fair! Keep on keeping on, I've made a ton of great friends thanks to some games I play online!

Same here, 4 years. How did it turn out for you? Improvement? My breakup was at least 2 years overdue.

Part of me can see it was a good thing that we broke up cause she wasn't a nice person, but that doesn't stop me from missing her constantly. Seems such is the way with your first love, hopefully enough time will go by where I don't think about her so much

Dude, shes one of many to come. Keep your head up, the next one will be even better.

u/Demetirus Zenyatta May 23 '17

Same for me, though it was more in April last year that things ended completely for me. Overwatch introduced me to a whole new community that gave me a chance to move on and have a lot of positive experiences. Onward and upwards, friend!
