He didn't want a relationship after 3 years so I ended things


Recommended Posts

Now you do a couple of disjointed things simultaneously.

 

You take comfort in your own decisiveness & the fact that you know your own value. Instead of wallowing in limbo you too action. Many people don't so good for you.

 

You mourn the loss of your relationship. You might have been the one who actually broke things off, but emotionally based on his declaration, you are in essence the dumpee so go ahead & grieve.

 

You have to grieve. It's part of the healing process. This isn't going to be quick or painless but you will get through it. You have a strong sense of self that will serve you well.

 

Surround yourself with positive supportive people.

 

Cleanse -- purge your house & computer of the mementos & photos. If you can't throw it out, box it up, tape it shut . . . like use a ridiculous amount of tape so it's a real p.i.t.a. to open it back up. Store it in the darkest corner or your attic or some place equally inaccessible.

 

Rearrange your living space to exorcise his ghost / memory. You don't need the visual of him sitting on the couch. It's a little easier if the couch is moved or even covered with a new slip cover. The point is to make it different.

 

Do good things for yourself: read the classics; volunteer somewhere to give back; get a hair cut; join a gym; take a walk

 

Just hang in there.
