i’m a little under 6 months out from the worst heartbreak of my life.
my ex left me after i stood by him through stage 4 throat cancer. he left when i was in the worst physical pain of my life dealing with a torn muscle in my back. i had spent so much time caring for him and the moment i needed that same care in return he walked away knowing my family and the people who could have helped me were 2000 miles away.
my heart is completely shattered. this has changed me in ways i never expected. i’ve had my heart broken before but never like this.
i want so badly to move on. i want to stop crying over him and stop feeling this ache every day. but i can’t. i loved him so deeply and the truth is i still do. sometimes i feel pathetic for that.
i moved across the country to be closer to my family and try to start over but somehow it hasn’t made things easier. if anything i feel even more lost.

did you end up finding a decent doctor or physical therapist out there for your back yet, or are you still having to push through the physical pain completely on your own?
when i moved back home after mine i kept trying to force myself to stop crying, but honestly letting myself just be angry for twenty minutes a day helped way more than trying to move on. you spent months putting all your energy into keeping him alive, so of course your body is still carrying all that heavy love with nowhere to put it yet.
ik it's hard but u should stay in no contact. like no contact at all.
i gave up years of my life taking care of my ex when his life blew up, and the exact week i got laid off he told me he needed space. sitting alone in a new city while your body hurts and your heart is wrecked is a brutal kind of quiet.
So sorry for your heartbreak.. something to think about is that.....The person who is worth crying over, wont make you cry
I am so sorry girl men are so cruel. My ex broke up with me the day we were supposed to move in together. I waited for him in Ikea and he never showed up. I am really hurt and broken. I feel you girl
