I miss him so much. The company, our talks.. holding hands as we sleep. I can’t even sleep on his side of the bed. I really wish I could move forward. I feel like I take one step forward and two back. Can anyone offer any advice on what I can do to put these feelings to bed once and for all? Me and the ex are currently civil and are on speaking terms. I feel that this is helping but don’t know if it’s suppressing my emotions?

do you feel like talking to him still gives you comfort, or does it leave you more unsettled after? sometimes the answer to that says a lot about what your heart actually needs.
what usually helps me is creating a little distance, even if it’s uncomfortable. sometimes you need space to really feel the loss so it can pass through instead of hanging around half-buried. and don’t rush it healing has no straight line.
when my ex left, i couldn’t even sit on his spot on the couch for months. every little thing just screamed his name. being civil helped me at first too, but i realized later it was kind of keeping me stuck in that “almost still together” feeling. you’re not alone in that back-and-forth. it’s such a weird kind of ache
