[@deepg7084]

Went through the same thing brother. She cheated on me with a "friend" of mine. Had this feeling like I wanted to throw up all the time. I started working out regularly, reconnected with old friends that you lose track of when you're in a relationship, went skydiving by myself, got my bike license, just started crossing off things on my bucket list. Gradually over time you'll think about her a lot less and be back to yourself. Hope you're doing well now my friend.

[@lisabell2134]

Ben, My post wasn’t meant to be taken as literally as “be alone for the rest of your life”, or that we shouldn’t have good relationships with other people. Good relationships can enrich life. I have good family and friends, but I don’t expect that anything will last forever or that anyone else can be responsible for my happiness. I have to be content with myself and not rely on external people for that, because they can go away at any time really. You really only do have yourself and your own experiences for the rest of your life. You can only guess what others are experiencing but with you, you know. So have a good relationship with yourself first, that’s a great basis for everything else.

After my wife and I separated and I came to the realization and acceptance that she no longer loved me I had several days of severe emotional distress and even a few hours a delusional vertigo and then a few weeks of sever depression and now I'm kind of in a state of emotional numbness but I look at all this as a part of the grieving process of the death of a relationship. But I look forward to becoming a person who is excited about life again and its potential.

[@unwisemonkey2945]

Hey Mark, I have just been through the same thing at the start of the year and when I was describing the way I felt to my family/friends I used the exact same terminology that you have as grieving the death of my relationship and looking back I can also pin point the stages I was at during different times (shock, denial, anger etc etc). Its fair to say that what happened nearly 'ended' me and has taken me a while to get to 'acceptance'. I will say that if you are going through it still the journey isnt always a straight line (as im sure you know). Right now I have just come out of another very short 'relationship' which ended badly and while it sucks I am at least finding myself thinking about this person rather than my (ex) wife. Everyone deals with this stuff differently you just gotta keep moving. Find something new to focus on and try to surround yourself with good people. Just remember you are not alone.

[@blacknapalm2131]

*As a man that was left truly heartbroken I have a strange bit of advice, embrace the heartbreak and don't be too quick to try and get over it* I was so shattered that I cried every single day when I came home to an empty house, I would have to go to the sick bay at work several times a day just to cry. I got drunk almost every night, I sung to myself, I crawled on the floor, I was a mess. BUT IT PASSED. Every week it got a little less and after a few months it was fading. As a romantic and emotional person there was something about it that was special and although I did not enjoy it, I did not hate the way it felt either. Embrace your emotions, good or bad, they are fleeting, so just allow yourself to FEEL these moments while they last.

Very much so. It's more difficult if it was a relationship where you both shared good times through most of the relationship, so when that all ends and even it's been a long time since you've communicated with eachother, you still have that desire to make contact. Unfortunately it's more than likely to make yourself feel better, and even if you have a good response at the beginning, soon enough it will be the same issues that ended the relationship in the first place that will resurface

BlimBlam Kaboom, I think it's fear that prevents some people from letting go. Fear of being without that person. Fear of starting over, alone. Fear of the unknown. Fear of having to let someone new into our lives somewhere down the line. Fear of what will everyone else think. Fear that they might never meet anyone better. Fear they might never again meet ANYONE. etc, etc.

[@stevenschneider2455]

Wow, my ex is an illusion, and my unwillingness to let go is not about her, but the things she came to represent in my self. I see now I was viewing her as the source of my stability and self-worth. I don’t want her back - what I really need is to find that stability and self-worth within myself. Profound, thank you.

[@mogznwaz]

It's called 'emotional attachment' my friend. When your mum dies do you 'get over it'? No. You carry them with you, always. Doesn't mean you don't accept they're gone but you can't remove them from your story, your memories, your self. The problems come when you don't accept they're not in your life anymore and there's nothing you can do to bring them back. It is actually better to think of a break up as like a death. Grieve. Accept. Move on. Remember with fondness.

[@CorrinaMusic]

@@roisglassco8986 I think you're misinterpreting him a little. This video is focused more on those who can't move on from their ex when it's not working out for a reason, and they're not allowing themselves to move on and find inner peace. Learning how to love yourself and not make your life's sole purpose about getting married and having babies, but instead on something that society hasn't dictated us to do, (i.e fighting for a cause you believe in that could help others) ISN'T self indulgent. The moment we realise we don't have to abide by the norm is the moment we realise our potential and power as individuals as well as collectively. Parents who have a child together are INDIVIDUALS THEMSELVES and have a every right to move on from one another, whilst still loving their child and being civil/respectful to one another. If you start tip toeing around and lying to your child about the situation, some weird vibes occur and THIS is what affects them mentally, because children are clever and can sense these things.

[@Autonova]

I got my heart ripped out by an emotional manipulator, it was the darkest thing I ever experienced, I got depressed and lost weight. I'm glad it happened though, now I'm perfectly happy in myself and I never place any undue faith in another person. I ended up marrying a wonderful woman and I'm happy. If you're going through a breakup, remember time is truly a healer.

[@robotsongs]

I'm going through a really painful divorce right now and it was immensely beneficial to realize that I wasn't mourning my soon-to-be ex-wife. Instead, I was mourning a fantasy of what she was, and the reality is that she was never that person and was constantly miserable and unhappy. In essence, I was mourning a fantasy. I find myself benefiting from the divorcing of her as an idea, and that mindset can be so, so great. I hope others can benefit from this as well! The sooner we do, the sooner we can heal.

The problem is being in love with a future you'd imagined you were going to have with that person... Especially especially if that person was extremely attractive (to you)... If they checked every single box. You were happy to have found that person and felt very lucky to have found them. It feels like you'll never find another person like that again.. especially when you get older. Biggest trigger, the only trigger actually, for me to crave opiates again. It feels like withdrawal when a relationship ends unexpectedly.

[@MiauxCatterie]

yes. it wasn't actually what he offered me in the real world that i craved. it was what i thought, what i hoped, what i pictured he could offer me if he let himself be vulnerable to me. and who knows. maybe that's true. but maybe he wasn't vulnerable to me because i wasn't the right person for him to be vulnerable to. maybe if he was vulnerable to me then we would have had a whole new batch of issues crop up. i know the traits i saw in the "dream version" of the relationship.. those are what i want in a true partnership. those are what excited me. the real person just offered me pain. i'm not sure how to find those things "within myself" because they're ultimately a reflection of a true and exciting connection to another person- finding someone outside of myself who shares these interests. i can already share them with me. it's that additional connection i want. perhaps i need to find people who share those interests and befriend them, instead of hoping to find them within a partnership. maybe that's how to do it. stay strong friend, those opiates don't hold anything you need. honestly, i've been smoking weed again the last few nights to handle some pain and it's already starting to make me a bit automatic like it always does.. i think it's time to put it away and handle the pain the right way. the weed is just going to keep numbing me and set me back in all the other areas i've been growing stronger in. and like a bad ex, i don't need that in my life. i hope saying this doesn't trigger anyone who is in a recovery situation that might come across my comment.

Very true. Heartbreak is awful. It's crippling. The emotion and thoughts are overwhelming. your heart is your strength, your confidence, your spirit, your happiness. It's everything that makes you strong and complete. When you start to fall in love, you give that person your heart, When they leave, your heart leaves with them. You become lost, confused, empty and broken. The only way to truly heal from a break up is to become whole again. You can take all those things back from your ex, your strength, your confidence, your spirit and your happiness. Your heart doesn't belong to them, it never did. It never will.

St Franck it’s called grief. In my opinion, it takes just as long to get over an ex you truly loved and is still living as a loved one who has died. Heartbreak is a sickness like any other. I wish you happiness. Be kind to yourself.

[@elizagoodytwoshoes8348]

The hardest things we work on end up being the moments in our life when we can choose to learn more about ourselves and how we respond and why we respond in the way we do. Where did we learn to love someone else more than ourselves? I should know I always stayed way to long and then would collapse into grief when it was over. I've since realised that a certain amount of grief is of course healthy we have hopes and dreams, expectations but then I've learnt to value life, value each day and every day I get an opportunity to be a better version of me whether I'm with someone or not, best wishes you can do this because your life IS worth it🙏

What a caring, considerate message. And spot-on. For me, after the relationship ended with the person I felt was 'the One', it was much like as if he had died. The sense of inexorable loss and subsequent mourning process was the same. Out of that, I came to see how potently he changed my life for the better. Even letting go, those tremendous things he contributed carried with me as I moved forward, a better person. But, my gosh, getting to this place was a long process, which principally involved delving into that "primary relationship with oneself".

This video has literally helped me so much. I had a break up over a month ago, and it was hard at first but now I’m starting to realize moving forward is necessary and that the past with her is an illusion, it was non sense and unnecessary. I was use to a pattern in that relationship. A pattern that was the same each day. Watching the movies and shows together at night, listening to the same music, etc...but now that pattern has been broken, if you are feeling the same way, you aren’t alone and you are normal. Engage in conversations with friends that will lift up your spirits or even find a place to volunteer and with those like minded individuals you will get a sense of confidence and I promise it will all work out. Do not try and get over your ex by immediately trying to go out with someone, you’ll only repeat the same actions and you aren’t quite healed. You must be emotionally independent first before attempting to date anyone. I feel better! Especially watching a couple of brands videos. Well done sir.

Sounds like you're her backburner or she is yours. One thing a cheater desires more than the instant gratification of attention is security, you give her that security.

If she is interfering with this then there is something there deep seated and you need to let go, it is just my opinion after I became friends with my ex who cheated and it I happen to be her back up plan, moved on and now I see everything clear

[@jacobpadilla5810]

Me and my ex of 3+ years broke up and we both missed the times of reconciliation after the breakup. She came to pick up her stuff from my apartment and we discussed why it has to be like this. Why we have to close this chapter in our lives to move on to the next one with a possibility of us creating a new chapter in the future but for right now a clean breakup has to be done. She was crying so much and I told her that both of our pain will end and we will be happy and better individuals for ourselves in the future. Some days are easier than others. Yesterday I had no feeling to want to talk to her or stalk her on social media but today I felt the feeling to do so. Whenever I feel the need to do this I come back and watch this video. It helps me focus my thoughts on me and my own spirituality and individuality. I wish I could talk to her everyday but I know it's best if we focus on our true selves and grow into something better.

[@westernalliance796]

You guys can break no contact when all the emotions have settled and you guys have truly moved on.

No I would never break no contact my friend. Especially if she was the one to end the relationship. It’s on her to reach out, but don’t hope for it and if she does I would expect it to end again unless there has been a lot of time between you two (like a year+ at least) and a lot of work on yourselves. You’ll be alright man. I went thru a 7 year relationship ending a couple years ago. Tried it again after two months and ended again with even more pain. It’s been quite a journey, and I’ve only in the last few months realized it was one of the most profound positives to ever happen to me, it forced me to learn a lot about myself and grow up as a mid 30s man, like living alone, growing self confident / not co dependent, developing new hobbies, getting rid of bad habits / lifestyles, etc. I had another relationship since and it lasted about 14 months, just ended a few weeks ago. It’s been rough and it sucks, but not near as bad as that other one as I know everything will be ok with time and that I will emerge and even better version of myself if I work on myself, learn from mistakes, etc. also this recent relationship wasn’t toxic and was so much healthier than the last, so it feels a little better coming out of it. Focus on you, develop passions, and when ready go out and date to re gain confidence. Hopefully 4 months in your a little better. It’ll take time, especially a long one like yours. Accept that and just tell yourself I WILL GET THRU THIS! ❤️

[@openheart4606]

[@jacobpadilla5810]

​@@johnnyflow9731 sorry I missed this - a couple months after the breakup I completely got over it, I didn't feel the need to contact her at all. After those couple months I found out she was dating my ex best friend at the time, which happened pretty much immediately after our breakup so that made it a lot easier to completely move on. Lost some life long friends during that time due to them knowing about it but hiding it from me but it's honestly for the best. My circle of friends has gotten smaller but they're friends that actually care about me and would never do something like that to hurt me. I think in retrospective anyone would be surprised as to how much someone will hurt you even though you thought they never would. Since then I've been so much happier removing my ex completely out of my life and some of those toxic friends. I've seen her a few times since we broke up but she's said nothing to me. Her boyfriend actually tried to fight me when he got really drunk one night at a bar I go to because I literally told him "I don't really have anything to say to you" after he wanted to talk. He got in my face and tried to punch me outside the bar but I literally just left and luckily I had friends there that pushed him and some of my old friends away. I know the guy personally and he's a huge overly-masculine type of guy that resorts to physical confrontation whenever someone threatens his ego or makes him feel insecure. I really just wanted them to leave me alone and stop trying to bring it up and after that night they all have completely. I dated a girl for a month or so shortly after the whole debacle but it didn't work out. The past two months I've been dating this girl and last month we recently became official and I couldn't be happier. Life has been great, I love the girl I'm with and the friends I have in my life have been amazing. I haven't felt the urge to check on her/any of those old friends at all and I don't really plan to. Life moves on and so did I and it was all for the best.

Edit: Like for example I feel like one of the problems in my last relationship was that I was too needy, but I've learned my lesson and think I could do better, and in a lot of ways me and my ex had a great relationship just with a few issues. I'd be seriously tempted to take her back if she decides that. We're in no contact right now and it's up to her to reach out or not

[@TheMirrorAndTheWindow]

Being present in the moment and embodying that in your everyday life is key to overcoming any situation in the past, including exes. An ex by definition belongs to the past. Also practicing non- attachment and equanimity, standing in your truth and unblocking your self-worth as a free, sovereign divine being. Much love to all 🙏🏻

[@Ngrios]

@@ExileTheKnightsOfMaltaNow I am a fan lr Eckhart Tolle, yes. Recently I have been reading a lot of Neville Goddards work. My break up is recent. Not even 2 weeks, and just recently have i gotten over my obsession of getting him back. Doors are opening for me now, new people coming into my life, new opportunities. Yet, something inside of me wants to manifest him back into my life. I am torn between really moving on, or giving the situation time to cool, and perhaps a reconciliation in the future. All I know for certain, is that as of TODAY, my priority is myself. Self love and spiritual growth. Best of luck to you , William. ✨✨

I was just wanting to be friends but I need to work on myself because I'm in no way shape or form ready to even buy a sandwich. So she probably won't even want to be friends in the first place. And when I think about it the reason I'm thinking about her is because my life is a mess and that's why we broke up in the first place. So I need to just worry about myself and clean up before I even think about making friends with anyone.

@@sophiek4642 My pleasure. Hard to judge the situation if he WAS giving you his free time - but it was still insufficient - but then says you control his time...lol. Having what is called ambiguity-tolerance is a good idea, so you can step back & see how much possibility & how much resistance there is. How much need & how much fulfilment... Sometimes we can have someone starving for bonding/affection matched up with a miser of affection. You may just be the type to have deeper bonding needs (to give & recieve). If you have to move on, it's best to honor the person, grieve, accept, learn & reassign them to just old friends: for the sake of starting another relationship as pristine as possible. 🌞
