It's been a year of the worst emotional pain I’ve ever felt

It's been a year of the worst emotional pain I’ve ever felt. Went through false hope anger hatred and a million urges to text him. The fact that he moved on so fast and got engaged in like three months didn't help. But I'm finally at a place where I fully get that he's happier without me found someone who’s right for him and I need to let him be and be happy for him. The other day I was looking at his wedding photos for probably the millionth time and for the first time it actually felt good seeing him so happy smiling with that warmth and love in his eyes. I gotta be happy for him cause that’s what love is. It's still painful but it feels more peaceful now.

Your post hit different made me tear up. I get it, loving someone and trying to forget them while watching them move on and be happy without you. And inside there’s this love so deep it’s like it’s ripping you apart but still won’t let go.

I just wanna say that what you're feeling is totally valid and honestly it takes mad strength to get to where you're at. its a long time to carry that kinda pain and the fact that you worked through all the emotions anger false hope shows just how much you cared.

That's cool and all but what about YOU? Are you talking to anyone seriously? Dated since the breakup? Staring at his wedding pics for the millionth time isn’t doing you any favors. You're just hurting yourself.You gotta let him go and focus on YOU now. This isn’t healthy. Make deals with yourself like an addict If I make it through the week without checking his socials I’ll treat myself to new shoes (or whatever). If I go on a date this month I’ll treat myself to ??. Keep busy. Go on walks or hikes. Join a book club (tons on Facebook).Just stay occupied. Who knows maybe one day he’ll be checking out YOUR socials feeling salty.

Aww that's kinda bittersweet but I'm glad you're at the acceptance point now. Just for real don't go looking at his wedding pics or anything. Best move? Just cut him out completely no stalking no updates no nothing. Hide everything if you don’t wanna delete it like photos and stuff.
That way over time your heart can let go and you won’t get that little pang of sadness every time you think of him.
And also don’t feel like you have to be happy for him. You don’t. He chose to leave you so he doesn’t deserve any of that from you. You’re the one who deserves happiness not him.
