so I had a bad breakup from a relationship of a year and a half. she made my heart feel like my home was beside her. could sit and stare at the wall all day with her and feel accomplished. we work in the same facility (the break up was bad and my fault) I work as a supervisor in the same department as her father (im not his supervisor but I am above him). he says she will regret it because I even went above and beyond to take care of her. it kinda stings still because I see him and have to talk to him everyday. I never really had any really thoughts of a family or kids until I met her. I still can't bring myself to be mad at her nor disrespect her name i even still find myself protecting her name in conversations. I do miss her but I am slowly letting go not because I dont love her but im tired of holding this pain and guilt.

i had an ex who changed the way i saw my whole future too, suddenly i was thinking about marriage and kids and building a life when before that i never cared about any of it. losing that person feels like grieving the future version of yourself too
I feel you because I even spoke to my mom and she even said she never heard me (out of my own mouth) talk about wanting kids except with this one woman
, the fact you still protect her name even while carrying guilt says a lot about how deeply you loved her
if I were to tell you she even had scars from self inflicted wounds from before me. i even kissed them and didnt judge because I thought they were just as beautiful as the woman who bared them. I didnt even ask her about them because I didnt feel the need to know or want to judge her past because I fell in love with the person who stood in front of me.
You are on the right path.You have accepted the fact and sane enough to protect urself from conversations that include her .One day it will be a thing of past n you will be proud of himself on surviving these dark times
keep your head up, keep moving forward, and know you're not alone friend ❤️
thank you
does seeing her dad every day keep reopening the wound for you, or is it more the reminders of the life you pictured with her that hurt the most?
probably the reminders of the life I pictured but he and a lot of the coworkers around me say that she will regret it in for retrospect because not many people would have done anywhere near a quarter of the things I have done. but she is younger than me in her early 20s and im in my later 20s. but her dad told me that even before her and I were together he and I were friends and as long as I never hurt her (physically) he and I would be ok.
