heart break

i feel kinda lonely because my ex said that its better for us to remain friends. We've been together for two years for the last 4 years. Whenever i think of it, i get soo depressed.

I'm in a very busy schedule because I came back to school to study education so i could teach in the future. I dont want to think about my problem but its haunting me.

I really know my priority so I have to be strong.

Just how do you deal with the fact that its over and time to move on?

Keep busy. That's the only way to mend a broken heart. Time does heal.

He left you when you needed him most. Huge deal breaker. Just because he broke your heart doesn't mean you will immediately fall out of love with him. As I said, time will heal. And, you deserve better. Don't short change yourself!

Not sure if you're up to date on this forum, but my husband left me and our two young kids in Feb on a "break" because he hated being a dad and wanted to get away from kids. Well, 6 months later, and he's finally admitted he's not coming back. He put me through hell-all the promises that he'd be back, all the promises to our older one about coming back. I was a mess for the first few months. And after all of that, after finally getting myself to a place where I'm okay with being on my own, when we talk about what all of this means, it still induces panic. It's still really scary. I don't know why, it's not like he's been much of a husband or father this year, but I can't help it. I can tell you that time will ease the pain. Sounds dumb, of course time will, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And you have to go through the pain to get to the end of it. You can also give yourself permission to be sad. There is no rule about how you should feel regardless of how much of a jerk he was. It is what it is. Let yourself be what you need to heal.
