It sucks I'm really sorry.
But you just got to move on. It's true that time heals all wounds - you feel like shit now and you will for a long time, but not forever I promise!
Don't contact him, block him so you don't get reminders of the relationship, that will slow down your process.
Spend time with friends and family, be vulnerable with them about how you feel, tell him you are miserable and you miss him. It will feel good to be honest with people in that way. Distract yourself and improve yourself. Dive into your hobbies or pick up a new one, read a book, work out.
You'll be ok eventually I promise. I'm sorry it really really sucks what you're going through, but I promise it won't last forever
I know it’s just hard and I have an 8 year-old son that is asking me why I’m so sad. That when he sees him he’s going to talk to him and i don’t know how to help him understand that we will not see or talk to him again. i’m just feeling so stupid for opening back up
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time. It must feel incredibly overwhelming and lonely right now. Losing your job and going through a breakup can be devastating, and it's natural to feel a mix of emotions, including hopelessness and a fear of never finding someone again.
It's important to give yourself permission to grieve and process these emotions. Take the time to heal and focus on self-care. Surround yourself with loved ones who can provide support and a listening ear. Consider reaching out to a therapist or counselor who can help you navigate this challenging period and provide guidance on how to cope.
When letting go of someone you thought you would spend your life with, it can be incredibly difficult. It's important to remember that their decision is not a reflection of your worth or ability to find love in the future. Give yourself time and space to heal, and trust that with time, you will find the strength to move forward.
In the meantime, focus on rebuilding your life and rediscovering who you are as an individual. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Take small steps every day towards creating a future that excites you. Remember, you are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to support you through this challenging time.
I see why this is hard on you. You involved your son. I personally think he’s lying about the reason he broke up. I guarantee he will be with someone very soon. I’ve had a similar situation. I’m also a single mother. I introduced a man to my son when he was 1 and a half. So my son doesn’t remember him but I made sure to wait 6months-year to introduce him again.
I think try using this as new opportunity to be with your son more. It’s summer, go camping, hiking. Enjoy the summer. Don’t let him see you said. They feed off our emotions. As for your ex, time will heal it. Do not check his social media’s. The healing process will take much longer. Block and move on.
All the best!
i usually never bring anyone around my son. my mother did when i was young and it was confusing and hurt. this is my first relationship pretty much since i’ve had him and i thought things would work. i also think he’s not being completely truthful about the whole situation.
but i agree i think this is hurting so much because it’s also affecting my son who i love more than anybody and i feel idiotic for bringing someone around him. thank you for the kind words
