It has been two months post break up (I am the dumpee), and I am still feeling sadness and regret towards how things ended, how things could have ended, and how love wasn't strong enough between us to maintain the relationship. I have been mourning in the typical way, I don't want to pretend that this event didn't happen. I know I need to experience the hurt, the grief, and the pain in order to move on. I just broke into gloom after thinking about how happy my ex is currently. She is not experiencing any of my pain, she is off with a new guy a month after we ended having the time of her life. I feel as he was just a replacement for me, as I truly cared for her and took care of her. I just wish I could be over her, I wish I could be truly happy and not have to think about them. I wish she could understand the pain I am going through and show a sign of care or remorse. Hell, she emotionally cheated on me at one point in our relationship, and I gave her a second chance, but I am not allowed the same when I make a mistake, and yet, is willing to work through the issues and go to couple counseling and therapy. I just needed to vent, but any advice would be very appreciated.

She will eventually (not that you should care).

Two months isn't long. I'm approaching two months and it's a roller coaster.

 

A significant relationship will take more than a couple of months to get over. Go easy on yourself and allow yourself some time to come to terms with it. I don't expect to be fixed for a while yet, I'm hoping by the time the summer months arrive I'll be in a better place.

 

It's going to take time bud.

Jumping into a new relationship only masks the pain.

Once her "honeymoon" phase is over with the guy who is more likely to be Mr. Right now vs. Mr. Right....she will have to face that she hurt someone who loved her and SHE wasnt strong enough to work on it.

Your feeling rejection likely, but your doing great. Sometimes it gets worse before better but the hurt is very normal.

Nightmares and chest pains here. But I know it will go away.

And I also know I did all I could.

Life isnt fair but I bet you will see in the long run you dodged a bullet.

Think of her annoying habits :)
