You WILL be okay, OP. There are billions of people out there. You guys just werent compatible long term. Best thing you can do is to learn from any mistakes and start working on you inside and out. Someone else will come along. I wouldnt even actively seek anyone out for a while. Just take time to do you.

Im going through an iffy time in my own relationship and if things go south thats exactly what I intend to do.

Sure, but sometimes you need give people a push. It's not healthy for someone to still be getting over a break up six months later. It shows they aren't actually dealing with the issues.

But that's my point exactly. By rushing into a rebound you're not dealing with your feelings for your ex. You are papering over cracks by trying to distract yourself. Distracting yourself with a relationship to forget about a relationship isn't very clever. At least not in my case. If you haven't dealt with previous feelings and you're not ready for a new start you are gonna end up hurting someone else as well as yourself.

1.) look after yourself- emtionally, physically
2.) time

3.) might sound crude but go and hook up with someone- that's helped me in the past (not a stealth brag lol)

Too bad she was The One and there's no one else in the world that will ever replace her as she was the only person that got who you really were.

Oh wait, she really wasn't The One since she broke up with you and there will be one of a number of other people that will get who you are.

Good luck OP.

Gotta spend time with friends.

Also, there is no such thing as "the one."

I was in your shoes a little over 8 years ago. I proposed to someone, they accepted, then broke up with me a day later.

1. Time really does heal all wounds
2. Take this time to work on yourself. If you're grieving, I suggest seeing a counselor or cognitive behavioral therapist
3. Join a gym or workout more. Not only will your mood improve due to the natural high that you get from exercising, but your body will change and you'll start to feel more confident.
4. Lean on your friends during your low times.
5. Maybe think about volunteering. Not only will helping others take your mind off your heartache, but maybe you'll meet someone else.

Get drunk and watch porn with the volume up

I mean, easy fix

I kinda do the opposite of giving it time. I told myself my ex wasn't worth being sadden over and moved on to a better person.

Delete facebook and hit the gym.

 

[Lasthope106]

I'm sorry to hear that man. Hang in there. Like other have said, do stuff you enjoy, reach out to your friends and family. Life goes on, and there are more adventures and good times ahead for you.

Delete facebook and hit the gym.

Wut. He can hit the gym without deleting Facebook. Why would he punish himself.

Becuase he's probably checking out her statuses and pictures every few minutes.

 

[SecretDan]

Be miserable for as long as you need.

Spoiler

not too long tho. don't get trapped.

Then go do something you enjoy.

Blocking her was already suggested in the thread. He doesn't have to delete his whole Facebook just like he doesn't have to leave the city just to avoid her...

Me and gf, perfect relationship, 6 months

Yesterday, sudden text "I need to think about things". I asked her what's wrong and that I'm available to talk whenever and that I love her.

Almost 2 nights has passed, no message or call yet.

People are weird. That's all I gotta say.
