I was in a relationship at school that only lasted about a month but it still hit me really hard.
It ended suddenly one night after an argument. Things escalated quickly and just like that it was over no slow fade just a text saying we’re done.
Even though it was short he had become part of my daily routine. I looked forward to his messages the good morning texts falling asleep on the phone seeing him after classes all those little moments that made up my day. Now they’re gone and I’m left with this empty feeling.
I know a month isn’t a long time and part of me feels silly for being so affected. But it still hurts. My days feel quieter now and I keep reaching for my phone out of habit expecting a notification that will never come.
I don’t really know what I’m asking for maybe I just needed to get this off my chest. Has anyone else felt this way after a short relationship? How do you cope with that emptiness when someone suddenly disappears from your routine? And how do you handle the thought of seeing them with someone else soon?

what part you miss the most right now, him specifically or the feeling of being someone’s daily person?
