I accepted the breakup, but why can't i stop reaching out?

It was my first relationship, and we had planned everything for the future together. Now we are separated, and I have accepted that we cannot be together anymore. But I do not know what to do now "how to control myself from contacting her?" or how to rebuild my life. How can I remove that person from my future goals?

when you feel the urge to text her, what’s the feeling underneath it? loneliness, habit, hope she’ll respond the way she used to?

man… first love hits DIFFERENT. i accepted my breakup too, but my brain kept reaching for my phone like it had a mind of its own. we planned our whole future together. trips, house, kids names. losing her felt like losing my entire roadmap. you’re not crazy for struggling with that
