Why can't i let go after the breakup?

Author

When we first met, my ex and I just joked around a lot until, over time, we started getting closer. In the meantime, I found out he wasn't over his ex. I was disappointed, but I eventually forgave him because we weren't in a relationship at the time. After that, we actually grew closer until we started dating.
After we started dating, his attitude suddenly changed. He started contacting me less and disappearing frequently, until we finally had problems and decided to take a break. After that, we broke up, got close again without getting back together, and then slowly became estranged again. Now it's all over, but honestly, I still can't fully let go of everything we once had. and right now I'm still confused about what I should do if I miss him at night

i feel this because that in-between stage can hurt so much. when you miss him at night, do you miss him as he is now, or do you find yourself missing the version of him from when things were good?

i just miss him, sometimes I always think why we have to end up like this. but when asked if I want to get back with him or not, the answer is always no, because even if I do get back together, I know very well that in the end nothing will change

i used to reach for my phone every time i missed my ex at night, and it always made things worse.

the nights make everything feel ten times louder. i kept remembering the good parts and forgetting how confusing things had become, so i’d end up missing someone i knew i couldn’t really have back.

i agree, it is very confusing and painful
