It's normal for the human mind to not let go of disturbing things that we have experienced, but I personally feel that it's better to try to just let go of them than trying to work through them because the more you think on them, the more it sticks in the mind.

I feel it's better when you find those thoughts in your mind to find a great distraction & get your mind thinking on other GOOD things in life. I find that when I fill my mind with all the good things in my life, there is NO ROOM for the crap that other people throw at us.

You said that you looked at the relationship as sort of a fling anyway as you were planning on moving to LV anyway.....one doesn't develop a stable, meaningful relationship is a short period of time.....take your thoughts back to the beginning of the relationship & you may be able to realize that what you were expecting out of the relationship then isn't anything like what you have convinced yourself that you are grieving now. When we start to look at things realistically with our rational mind rather than our emotional one, things look a lot different.....a lot more in tune with reality than the drama that our emotional mind creates. Know it's difficult to tie our two mind sets together, but that's when the healing from situations like this can occur.

Hoping that you will be able to let go of this not good time for you. Reality says that this guy would have never been able to give you the stability that you were hoping would come from a relationship with him. Had you really gotten to know him before expecting that from the relationship, you never would have expected it. It seems that your expectation was based on your own hope (wishful thinking), not on what he was ever really like.

Hopefully you will be able to put this whole thing in perspective & get on with your life.

Wishing you the best with this
