I finally left my bf of 2 yrs about a month now. He still texts me everyday to wish me a good day but I dont ever respond back to him. I've gone back to him a few times before but this time I've had enough and have really distanced myself from him.

Lately I've been feeling very lonely and I miss being held. The nights when I have trouble sleeping I know I can have him beside me to hold me until I can fall asleep. I miss the comfort I felt from him. Every time he texts me the thoughts linger and I want to talk to him, to see him and get those old feelings back again. I do try to focus on the reasons why the relationship made me so unhappy, why he broke my heart and the frustration and anger I feel from staying in the relationship for so long. Still I have those short moments in the day and loneliness sneaks in and it just overwhelms me.

How do you ignore those lonely feelings after a break up?
