Back to square one: trying to heal after a tough breakup

Author

Update: We reconnected after a few days, but things actually got worse. I thought I was ready to love him better than before, but I feel like our trust is even harder to repair now because of our history. We both made mistakes, and it reached a point where there just isn't any peace left for us. So, here I am again—Day 1 of no contact

when you picture going back again, does it feel hopeful or just familiar? sometimes i had to really sit with whether i missed HIM or just the comfort of not being alone

this part where you said there isn’t any peace left… that hit me. when it starts feeling like constant tension instead of safety, i usually take that as my cue. no contact isn’t about punishing them, it’s about giving your nervous system a break.

i’ve BEEN there we reconnected too after a break and i swore i’d love him better this time. but the history was loud. every old fight sitting in the room with us. trust felt even thinner than before. it hurt more the second time because i knew what we were losing. you’re not crazy for trying again. sometimes we just need to see it clearly to finally let it go

If it's over. Accept the separation & try to forget your sacrifices and whatever you put in to the relationship. it's past now, it was a beautiful dream that is over. Now forget everything, and focus on your future.

It's hard for now, but doing this constantly will somehow made your minds accept it soon
