Aww sorry to hear that hun, so hard when you thought he was the one for you.
In truth there's no easy way forward if it's a finality, but until you can get yourself into the mindset to ACCEPT that it's over you won't move forward.
You can't change the past, but you can create your future, so if you do think of the past, acknowledge the good times but try not to keep them alive at the expense of allowing something new, and may be even more wonderful to come into your life.

Hi, I dont really have much advice to give, but you say it was the other day... these things take time, especially if you thought he was "the one".

Look at it as his loss!


Good luck, I'm sure you'll get over it soon, and welcome to the forums.

My advice is to sort through the things you have and think through the things you do.

You might be keeping assorted inanimate objects that remind you of the relationship, for example. If so put them in a box until you work out what each item's individual fate should be.

Was there any positive pursuits that you put aside because of the relationship? If so maybe it's time to take those things up again. If you can't think of any then find such a pursuit to take up!

Maybe give yourself an official period in which you are allowed to mope but during that period think about, and plan, what you'll be doing afterwards.

For, whatever the reason for the break-up, the good news is that you'll have more free time. Make the best use of it you can think of.

Good luck. Very Happy

Hmm. This one needs a bit more thought that I initially expected.

For starters I don't think I've been lucky enough to find anyone that could have been 'the one' yet. I'm more so a believer that there is no 'one' unless you choose to make that person such. No matter how much good there may have been in that relationship, that person obviously wasn't up to scratch so I'll try and draw from what I know as to how I would go forward.

Of course this is mostly logic and logic doesn't always help where emotions are concerned Smile

First up, its early days so just sit back and try to get yourself together. If you get involved with anyone else too quickly it could be trouble (although it might not be, there are no guarantees). I was on the other end of going out with someone who got involved with me too quickly after a previous and boy did it screw us both over. That's only a minor point though so unless you want to know more I'll move on..

There are some things that I picked up on from the divorce of my mum and dad. My mum got professional help as real long term is much more difficult and one of the things I remember was that you get a notebook. At the front you write all the good things about the relationship and at the back you write all the bad or painful things including where you are up to now. You have to be brutally honest and in doing so you may find out things that you didn't realise you knew. As you write more over time you might find your opinions changing.

The other person doesn't always make it easy either but if you can find the reasons as to why it wouldn't have worked, you can generally start to move on. Its hard to give a specific opinion without knowing more of the details so I'm going to stop there as all I'll end up doing is quoting examples from my own experience and what I've learnt. If you think that'd help let me know but I don't want to swamp a thread about you with stuff about me Smile

As long as there is variety in the posts you'll be fine. If not you might turn into the librarian frog.
