Why i struggled with my first breakup at 25

Author

For me it came to dating relationships and physical intimacy I was definitely a late bloomer. Before him I'd never really had strong feelings for anyone never been in a relationship and had no romantic or physical experience.
This guy and I had known each other for years. We flirted liked each other and there was always something between us. When we finally got together things moved fast and the connection felt incredibly intense. After wanting him for so long it felt like everything I'd hoped for was finally happening. Then he told me he didn't want a relationship with me.
People keep saying I'll move on and find someone else but that advice is hard to connect with. Most people had crushes relationships heartbreaks and experiences much earlier in life. This was my first real love my first relationship and my first experience of all of it at 25 with someone I'd wanted for years.
It's been months since things ended and honestly I still can't seem to let him go

I had the exact feeling and I was in four years, I then got discarded like nothing over a month ago and I’ve been trying been fighting but he’s just ignored me he really doesn’t give a shit about me

He sounds like a douchebag. Clearly took the comfort he had with you to his advantage while he still wasn't over his ex.

I did not move on from him

when we broke up I just felt shattered and I was more like how I'm going to be okay when he would love someone else and I'm not part of his life. But honestly that fear came from that 'I never loved anyone except for him', 'How I'm going to find someone where I would find someone where I can truly love'.
