Why can't I move on ?
posted October 20th, 2021 at 1:36 PM
I have lost many friends to death and drugs. My ex and I broke up a year ago and I always thought we would stay close as he was my best friend and told me he would be. He has a new girlfriend ( whom he started dating a week after telling me he loved me and would reset ) and has completely stopped talking to me. Which he should right ? It has been a year and I can't stop crying , and ruminating, I am depressed and ill. It just doesn't make sense to me that the love of my life is with some one else and doesn't care for me after 5 years of being best friends. I feel nauseous , illogical and I just wish I could move on.

Obviously not the love of your life. Be thankful the moron is gone and move on with your life without that D-Bag.
I broke up with a guy back in '96

who I had considered the love of my life because it was obvious he wasn't in-love with me anymore (if ever), and it took about twice as many years (or so) as the relationship lasted, to get over him... so about 6-7 years.
Hopefully you can get over your ex sooner so that you don't end up like I did -wasting YEARS of your life obssessing over an ex who doesn't deserve your love devotion.
If it feels like you're not getting over him, get help (counsellor, psychologist, psychotherapist) to help speed up the process. Also consider reading 'The Power of Now' because when it comes down to it, that's really the only time you have. Don't waste it regreting the past or worrying about the future. Believe me, you will regret obssessing over an ex.
But...

You can move on. Obviously the ex was not honest. Work on that basis. In this case it's not you, it's him. The ex is not worth another tear.
You need Trina

The discard is telling...Does it help to know there's sociopathic men out there lying their face off the entire relationship. They move from relationship to relationship fling to fling to avoid being alone. They mirror your personality and emotions to you to make you believe it's kismet, a soulmate connection. It's all fake - 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 years - no differ. It's what they do. Take what you can learn from it, detachment, self-love, healing from past traumas. Grieving takes time to move on from, and the ending of this relationship, in abrupt fashion, could have triggered past losses. Talking to a grief counsellor might help.

I don't get what your crying about your lucky to get away from someone that is not worth another thought or tear.
Being alone is great !! More people should try it never have anyone judging you anymore or saying harsh untrue words to you or hurt you
and never have to wait for anyone again, you can come and go as you please, you never have to listen to another boring ass story " look how great I am " and you can feel free to be your True Self.
Sounds pretty good to me getting rid of that mess !
Find you again is my advice.
