Want to move on but feel stuck?

Time. I know it is cliche and sucks to here but time will help. Get busy focusing on you. Every time you think about him, think about why you ended it and then find something productive to do. Meditate, find a hobby, learn to love yourself. With time you will not only truly believe you deserve better but you won’t even put up with mediocrity from the dudes you wind up dating.

Hi Yolanda
My last breakup was very hard. So my advice comes from someone who went through what you are going through less than a year ago and understands the difficulty of letting go and holding on to hope. What I have learned is that less/zero contact after the breakup is best for both people. It is hard for the man too even tho we tend to believe they are emotionless. Taking time to yourself to really see what the relationship was lacking and the reasons for the breakup is important. I don’t think it is necessary to do that so soon. The first thing is to get all your emotions outs cry, talk to friends, watch movies, eat ice cream, listen to music …but also do healthy stuff exercising, walking, meditating and reading, reading reading. Self help books and relationship books are awesome. Some moments will be harder than others but it will get better as long as you refrain from speaking to him, stalking his social media and put away any of his items at your place. I like to believe that if things are meant to be they will happen. You don’t mention the issues in the relationship but sometimes time apart can make people realize their errors and hopefully both parties can agree to work it out. If it doesn’t….. remember that you have grown from the experience because you already survived those months without him!!!!
