It's just so painful.
it's been 7 months and I still miss him very much. I was told just a few minutes ago that he has moved on and is happily dating someone else now. I didn't ask for the information so it really caught me off guard. I haven't been the same these past months and I'm hearing it from everyone; I just wish all the pain and and disappointment from the break up would just disappear. I was blind sided and didnt see it coming and I'm still very sad every single day, I literally mean every single day. Few days go by that I don't cry not simply over the relationship ending, but just an overall sadness and feeling of disappointment overall in my life. The breakup negatively affected so many other aspects of my own life (friends, finances, stress/emotions, religion, my DD missing him, and so forth) so it really had a domino effect on my life overall and now I'm just tired. I'm tired of smiling and trying to fake it till I make it back to the old me.
I know things will get better but I just wish it would speed up. My heart hurts so much right now.
I know it is hard.Sometimes the loss is a blessing and we just don't realize it. It is hard getting over the dissapointment. I saw some pics of another couple getting married. It just feels like everyone else just got it right. it's not fair when you heart is broken and the sadness of what could have been.
It's so hard to do. I don't want to do anything knowing he is out doing something with someone else while I'm doing something alone. EVERYWHERE I go in the city reminds me of him. Being in my apartment in my bed reminds me of him. Of the Sunday mornings we'd wake up late and watch Netflix all day. How to stop the reminders.
Make a list of all his good/bad qualities. Write everything down. Stick it in your purse and keep a copy by your nightstand.
Plus, would you want him to see you like this? Think about that. He's out on the town with some chick and you are in bed looking drab. Wouldn't it be better if the next time he saw you, you were looking fierce! I mean drop dead gorgeous! Girl, do some exercise tapes, slap on a mud mask, and swipe on a coat of pretty nail polish. Men always -- ALWAYS! -- pop back up in your life so be prepared for when he does. Make him think that HE lost a good thing, not you.

This is the absolute TRUTH!!!! Friends told me the same thing when I was going through my breakup, and I did not believe it. Chile, stay cute!!! LOL
But, make new memories/experiences...Don't go out alone!!!!...Go out with friends ( girls and guys) casual dates, etc. I forced myself to go out and never regretted it.
OMG I just called him and of course he didn't answer. Someone come wrestle this phone away from me! Why did I just do that?!?!?!?!?!

I was told years ago that men hear silence louder than words. It is surprisingly true. I use silence after I have said everything there is to say, not before.
I also read this today and thought of you: "How would your life be different if you learned to let go of what has already let go of you?"
Delete his contact info from your phone. Delete old voicemails and texts. If you have to pick up your phone 100x just to see if he called/text/ etc., fine. But don't call him. Men know how to reach you when they want to reach you. Trust me.
You called him because it's familiar. Have you deleted his number from your phone yet? Do you know his number by heart? I was so frustrated with a guy over Valentine's Day that I deleted his number. I automatically dialed his number when I told myself that I wouldn't. He didn't answer either. So I had a very quick conversation with myself and deleted his number.
Healing from a broken heart is a very frustrating process but it takes time for the heart to heal. I promise that you will feel stronger and happier in the end. Just try not to beat yourself up about it. There are a lot of wonderful women here on LHCF that have given you great advice and support.
