Getting through a breakup
I am having a real hard time getting through a breakup, and I can’t talk to my friends about it because my ex is friends with them too. We were together almost 2 years and everything was going well, he was practically living with me. Then about 2 months ago he just called it off, with no real explanation other than he couldn’t manage a relationship. I have a feeling he just freaked out about how serious the relationship was getting. He often said he wished we were older. Now I’m constantly checking his facebook to see what kind of stuff he is doing, wondering if he is as miserable as I am. I don’t want to stop talking to him because each time I do it makes me happy, even if it’s just for that brief moment. How do you get over such debilitating pain?
Everyone goes through breakups like this, it’s a stage of life we all experience. But that’s the thing… it’s only a stage. I know it doesn’t sound like much right now, but time really does heal all wounds. You need to give yourself and this guy a little space to breathe and get better.
Keep busy
I think it’s awesome that you feel like you can still talk and hang out with your ex. In the long run it’s always better to maintain a good friendship with someone you dated for so long. But keep yourself busy, you don’t want to be texting and calling him all the time just to hear his voice. If you look like you’ve recovered (even though you may be dying slowly inside) then he’s going to find you more attractive. Lets face it, no one admires the girl who’s sobbing quietly in the corner.
Get out and about
Get yourself out of the house and hanging out with your friends. Just because you share the same group of friends doesn’t mean they don’t care about what you’re going through!! In fact, they can probably relate and will try to help you get through this tough stage.
Enjoy your youth
In the end, you’re probably right – your boyfriend most likely just freaked out about how serious the relationship was, which is completely natural for someone your age. A surprising amount of married couples are people who dated when they were younger, broke up because it was too early to get serious, then found each other later on and got married. Enjoy your youth while you can, and don’t start burning your bridges with this guy too soon. You never know what’s going to happen in the future. Sarah xx
