I've just decided to do no contact with my ex-situationship, who wanted to stay friends and keep in touch. This is the second dayof no contact, but I already feel so bad and wanna reach out to him.
When will it get better? I feel like I'm never gonna be able not to miss him.
Also he just posted an instagram story andI really really wanna check it, but I know I shouldn't.
Tbh I wish he would text me, but he could say anything, it wouldn't change things. He lives on the other side of the world and he is emotionally unavailable right now, so I understood why he didn't want to do long distance relationship.
The hardest part about this is that we didn't break up because we didn't work out...I guess the timing and the distance played the part. So I am not only grieving the memories but the potential too.

the life you thought the two of you were going to have? because those were two really different kinds of grief for me.
every time i didn't check, i got through one more wave. they still came, but they stopped feeling quite so impossible after a while.
day two is ALWAYS the worst. i remember staring at my phone telling myself i just wanted one little peek at his story, then i'd end up spiraling for hours. i missed the future i'd built in my head just as much as i missed him
I also relate to this. me and my ex broke up because he said that he lost feelings a little over a month ago and we stayed “friends” after that because he wanted to. but I ended realizing that I wasn’t getting anything out of the relationship and it was killing me to communicate with him when I knew that we couldn’t be together when I wanted to and he didn’t. and so I texted him and I ended he friendship. but I still check his social media and fight the urge to check it every day.
It's so hard, but stay strong! We've got this!!!
Sameeee, my girlfriend broke up with me over 10 days ago...on the exact day of our 6 month anniversary yet i bought her somethingto celebrate the day and address the radio silence issue, after ghosting me for over 2 weeks, which I gave Grace for given she was in exams. I did spiral within that periodbut didn't crash out as i was seeing her playing candy crush very actively but not telling me that she's busy and occupied, but yeah. She ended things via text saying she lost feelings and couldn't keep holding on when her heart isn't in it. From then, I just cut off the communication entirely with her on all socials. All in all, for your own sanity and peace of mind...cut off communication, and leave no backdoor otherwise it'll just hurt you the more.You can get through it...
I believe texting while the circumstances are the same won’t help. Maybe contact him when the circumstances changed.
