guest569 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Why cant i move on? Heartbreak.. There is no solution and no escape. There is no comfort to be found. What can I do besides wait for time to work its magic? I joined clubs, meetups, gym, pool, got promotions, got a pet, work in my garden, go for walks... I have dated again and fallen for someone and been hurt again a few times but I am still very much in love with my ex who broke my heart 8 months ago. I miss him so much and just want him back so badly. I feel distraught and miserable. Is it unreasonable to expect to be normal again by now? I have never been through something so emotionally draining. I have lost and grieved, but I have never had heartbreak before this. What is the cure? My friends haven't been there for me at all and i really needed them. I'm trying to make new friends but I need good old friends to get support from and dont have that.

hockeydan Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I am not sure how long of a relationship you had, but I don't think it is out of the norm for you to still be finding it hard to move on. My previous ex before my most recent one was a 6 year relationship and I still think about her from time to time. The ache in my heart is barely there, but I still feel a bit a pain. We broke up 3.5 years ago. My current ex of 3 years has left a much larger scar on my heart and I don't expect to really feel normal until at least a year to year and half out (currently at 2.5 months break up, 3 weeks NC). We were together half the amount of time, but I was so madly in love with her that the heartbreak is so much worse than the 6 year relationship. Emotions come and go, but a part of each person that was at some point important to us will exist as a scar on our heart. The bigger the scar, the longer the recovery. Keep hanging in there and staying strong. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
