After one year we broke up Saturday. today is day one of no contact. What advice can you give me for the next week that you wish someone gave you?

Stay strong, it will get easier and better in time, I'm sure it's still so raw and painful and I'm very sorry you're going through this. Just keep no contact, any message you send now will only hurt you more.

was the breakup something you both saw coming for a while, or did saturday hit you completely out of nowhere?

I didn’t see it coming, but I’m not surprised by it either… like I thought things were going to work out. but that’s not what he wanted. so he ended everything.

this is still so fresh. the best thing i did that first week was stop treating every emotion like it meant i needed to act. i'd miss him, cry, want to text him, and then let the feeling pass without doing anything about it.

there is always time in the future to say whatever you want to say and you'll be able to say it from a more grounded and clear place once you have some space and time

day 1 is brutal. i remember thinking i needed answers, closure, one more conversation. what i actually needed was to get through the next hour, then the next one after that.

i feel the same way as you do just keep reminding yourself that there's a lot of things that are needed to be done. in your daily routine like there's so many things that you need to do its not like your life is stuck within the process you are right now. just keep moving forward and motivate yourself that everything will be easier each day.

stay strong and keep no contact no matter what. if you give in you may only open more wound and just hurt yourself more.
