What did you do to survive the night of/after a breakup? (lemm.ee)

Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager.

How did you make it through that first night? The second? The third? Is it really just time? I feel like my body is too old to survive another heartbreak.

No one is worth your suffering, and if that sometimes does not seems enough then remember that no one who truely loves you deserves witnessing impotently you bursting your heart and mind out about somebody that instead does not even love you nearly enough.

Try reconnecting with the people who loves you and whom with their relationship with you naturally help to make you feel more self confident, you'll notice you're still that fine and self confinent person and that you aren't really missing anything that important, surely not important as you. Good luck and keep it up, you're awesome!
