I ended things with my girlfriend about three weeks ago after being together for a little over three years. The last 4–5 months had become toxic she stopped communicating was openly rude to my family and constantly found things to complain about.
I kept giving her the benefit of the doubt. I stayed hoping things would improve. I tried to talk to her to understand if something was wrong or if I was doing something to upset her. But she’d either say everything was fine or we’d talk and the same issues would resurface weeks later.
Eventually I couldn’t take it anymore and broke it off. But now all I can think about are the good times. I miss her so much and I don’t understand why because I wasn’t even happy toward the end. Still since the breakup I feel numb. Empty.
All I want is to go back to when things felt right. I guess what I’m really asking is… why does it hurt this much? Why can’t I move on even though I was the one who walked away?

It’s normal to miss someone. It’s ok to take a step back. You both are young. Maybe with time she can mature and you guys can get back together?
Grief is painful
Because naturally, you’ll miss the good times you had. Being sad about it is just part of the process. Just because you weren’t happy in it doesn’t make you immune to feeling this way.
