I've been through heartbreak before. I've lost long-term relationships grieved people I loved and carried my share of trauma. But nothing has hit me the way this breakup has.
I still love her deeply. Not a day passes without her crossing my mind. We ended things with kindness and respect and I understand why it had to happen given our circumstances. Still I wanted to fight for us. I wanted to rebuild. Instead I had to let go and accept that healing was the only path forward for both of us.
I've tried everything people recommend. I've picked up old hobbies reconnected with friends gone for daily walks filled journals started therapy hit the gym spent time with family. Yet nothing seems to bring me joy. Everything feels dull.
She's everywhere. Half my music reminds me of her. Every street in my neighborhood holds a memory because I shared so much of my life with her there. Even work isn't an escape. It's where we met and somehow I keep getting assigned to her area.
What hurts almost as much is thinking about everything we had planned for this summer. Trips experiences little moments we were excited about. Now none of it will happen.
We ended things with love care and understanding. So why does it hurt this much? Why can't I accept what's happened even when I know it was necessary?
I miss her constantly. I want to talk to her to see her again but I know she's hurting too. And honestly I'm still in no place to do that. It's been months since the breakup and weeks since our last conversation but some days I feel exactly like I did the first night it ended.
I've spent the last five days crying.
She felt like my person. The truth is I don't want anyone else. I don't want to open my heart again the way I did with her. I won't chase her or try to change her mind because I respect her too much for that. But right now I can't imagine loving someone the way I loved her.
Part of me wonders if I need to completely change my life. A new career. A new city. Maybe even a fresh start somewhere far away. I know I'm not usually this desperate or emotional but lately I feel completely lost.
I just want to know if this ever gets easier.

I feel you bro. Im going through the same sort of situation with my ex who is also my co worker. We have spoken about having children in the past, so now when I see couples with young kids it reminds me of her every time. I dont even want to speak to another woman right now. It will just be a distraction.
Ive never experianced something like this in my entire life. I wish I could just get up and start a new life, in a new place, i just feel as id take it with me. I wish you well on this journey
