So, my ex and I broke up about 4 months ago. We had some loose ends (i.e a shared cell phone plan and a loan in both of our names) that still need to be cleared up, so I haven't been able to go full no contact yet. We were together for over six years through the last half of my twenties. I finally resigned myself to the fact that he is never coming back, he doesn't want me, and I have to move on. I deleted him from facebook last night and also deleted any friends that were his before the relationship and didn't become mutual friends.

 

What I am having the most problems with is that I have forgotten how to be happy being single. I know I am not quite ready to date yet and no one has really shown any interest anyway, but I get depressed almost everyday because I was used to having physical affection in some form. How can I get over the need to be hugged and kissed every day?

TIME. That's it. Sorry babe, I wish there were another way. I'm in the same boat as you, it sucks. But don't look for it in another guy because you won't find it and it will make you worse. Trust me.

 

You know how you got used to hugging and kissing and having a boyfriend? Well now you will get used to being single. It's weird at first. Different. Not normal. But after some time has passed, it's all you will know. And you'll find comfort in it. And you'll be okay.
