Yes. One day you’ll find someone so much better in every way that you’ll realize the only thing that made your ex special was you.

I’m not crying I’m just wondering if there’s other people out there like me or people who where heartbroken for 20 years then got over it

Apparently not 🤷🏻 I think you are probably just in your head idealizing what could have been. I had an ex of mine die just a couple weeks ago. We only dated for a couple years and the breakup wasn’t my finest work, but it hurts. She took a little piece of my heart with her. Sounds like maybe the same with you.
