How long were you and your ex together and how long ago did you break up?

no contact at all too. wiped from every social media. it’s just been harder bc we go to the same college so i sometimes see him around.

aww thank you for the encouragement!! I’m happy to hear this is normal. even tho I logically don’t ever wanna get back with him my heart is a little attached still I think. I’m excited for the new chapter for us both! 🤍

Ok so you shouldn’t feel bad but if you feel like you’re not ready to move on then you might need more time to heal. But don’t ever assume he’ll com back, it’s always a move forward situation and it’s also bc it’s a new person and after a year of dating it can be tough. But good luck tn!

thank you!! yes I think the whole starting over aspect is what’s hard just feels kinda weird but my ex was not a good person and I’ve just been trauma bonded to him so I feel I owe it to myself to take a true step in moving on if that makes sense.

Yea so it’ll definitely feel weird at first but it’s what you need. You don’t grow by staying in comfort you gotta feel weird but it’s ok to feel weird! It’s a new step for you!
