Why can't i move on after 88 days?

Its been 88 days since we broke up.
my days aren't filled with anxiety like before. My nervous system has settled, I have my appetite back, I sleep better.

We've both broken no contact in an attempt to preserve a friendship but I realised I just really missed him so I ended that.

After 88 days, I still want him back.

After all this time, I know a relationship between us wouldn't work. He's an avoidant who's not ready to work through things. He thrives off freedom. I know he still loves me and cares about me, but I also know he would never choose me.

But I still want him back.

In time I know there will come a day where he wont even cross my mind. As sad as that feels, I would have truly moved on.

i got back in touch with my ex hoping friendship would make the loss hurt less, but it only kept reopening the wound. i'm glad you were honest with yourself, even though i know that choice HURT.
