Its natural to grieve a loss. We've all been there and it hurts. We ride out the feelings. What are you doing with your time?

I am in the same boat. But everyday gets a little easier. Everyday brings new challenges. This website has been really helpful in keeping my mind off of him. It takes one day at a time and remembering why the relationship ended. I know its hard. but its his loss sweety.

Talk to your friends. Message us on here. Fill your time with things you like to do. Take time out just for you. Do something you have always wanted to do, but never did.

It's hard and it will be a roller coaster of a ride. But you can and will get thru it.

Do things to keep yourself busy. make plans with friends, take a weekend vacation, start a project that consumes your time and avoid doing anything that will cause you to wonder what he's doing. I've been broken up with my bf for over a year, neither of us have dated anyone else, we don't ever talk and i find myself missing him every day. It's always hard, but every day gets easier. Just keep busy, throw yourself into something that will take all your focus and I promise it will ease some of the pain.

Addressing specifically your question:

Read "How to Fall Out of Love" by Debora Phillips.

A little gem of a book.

I hate when things aren't on Kindle. I want everything NOW NOW NOW :)

Stay busy-do what you've been wanting to do but haven't had the chance or time - now you do. Make this time about you-about what you want or don't want.

Get moving!

Never make someone the priority-when they make you the option.

Sending you support!

stupidwoman - I love that quote... I hope you don't mind but I'm gonna make that my status on facebook today. thank you!!!!!!!

I remember reading somewhere in the "I remember reading this somewhere" that men between the ages of 28 all the way up to their 80's will engage in another relationship in less than 2 years (average 9 months) (particularly after a divorce) or breakup whereas the woman will not.

While I believe there is no stature of limitation on the grieving process however, I do believe there is a limitation on how you go about it. After my so-called breakup I found myself in a dark period of obsessing over this man that went beyond the realm of unhealthy. I did not eat for days, my sleeping patterns went off and I suddenly found myself in a fitful state of depression.

You say this happened two weeks ago and that's little time to heal and readjust from the loss of a breakup. It's quite normal to feel sadness but not to stay in it. One way on the way back to recovery is to keep yourself occupied. I know it may sound cliche and lame but find a hobby, take up exercise, meet new people but don't let that be a replacement for the grieving itself if that makes sense. The more you find new ventures in your life the less the obsession of the loss slowly stares to become. It will take time and most likely you will have to go through this alone. Give yourself some leeway and credit that there is much more to life than thinking of "him."

Bless the ones that walked away from you, they're just making room for the ones that won't....

luvpink I am stealing that quote. Its great!!

Of course-be my guest! It's a great quote! It's my montra these days!

focus on yourself and you will slowly stop thinking about him. What do you like? where would you like to go? a park, the beach, a movie, wherever... just get out of the shell and do something fun for you.

Even if alone so you are not afraid that you don't want "that" company... it really helps.
