How did you get through a break up???

[MagsC]

Well. My signifigant other of almost four years and I broke up today. There is no "fixing" it.
Anyone else that has been through this, HOW did you?

Once I realized who he REALLY was after all the crying and eating ice cream, I felt much better about it. At the time I loved him, as time went on, I started seeing how there was no way it would have worked in the long run. Now is a time to grieve and eat ice cream and watch sappy movie and cry some more. Worry about moving on after that gets old.

Go out. Get noticed. It helps

Ice cream sounds good right about now. thanks!
As far as getting noticed, I have always been more of the introverted type, a little bit scared of that sort of thing.
Maybe thats why I stayed with him as long as I did, because he was good to me and a "known".

Not that I dont love him, just trying to reason things through.
LOL, of course such good timing, right before Valentines Day!!!!!!!

Honestly...the only thing was going out and meeting other people.. that helps in the beginning.
and the rest will heal over time. I promise..

Sorry to hear about your breakup

Both post above are good advice. But thinking about

him always helps

Thanks all.
I just took off my ring and that really feels strange.

One day at a time. And with ice cream and/or chocolate.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

 

[MagsC]

Yeah, I think this weekend I am going to do a sappy movie marathon and load up on the ice cream and chocolate when I go grocery shopping tomorrow.
One day at a time is right.
Somehow I dont remember it hurting this much, so red hen, I am sure you are right when you say it DOES heal.

Oops. I forgot. After that, get on the treadmill!!
