You know, bcoz you want to be with them always, regardless of your fears. You know, bcoz you love them unconditionally,you know they're not perfect, but undoubtedly perfect FOR you, and having them in your life is the only choice for you. You know bcoz in your heart they are a part of you, an extention of you, and you will love them forever regardless of how things turn out. That's how I feel about it anyway. You're not horrible. If you don't know, you don't. You can't pretend to...
Thanks for this!

I'm so sorry ending relationships are always painful, regardless of the dynamic. I'll be online if you want to continue to talk... Or I could just listen...

Thx guys, I'm doing better today. Still feel like crap but mornings are always better for me in general. I'm heading to my parents house for the day. Hopefully they won't ask about the bf.

[QUOTE=Trippin2.0;2414788]Thanks for checking in[/QUOTE

Mom asked how the bf was doing, if I'm still considering moving in with him, etc. I just said idk and changed the subject. Avoidance is all I can do at this point in time. Is that bad?

Bad? Not at all concidering how fresh it all is. There's nothing wrong with avoiding the subject until you've wrapped your head around the situation.

He's already on a dating website and "talking" to some woman! Too soon! And I'm kinda pissed. I can't blame him. I broke up with him. But I'm still a little jealous. What the hell is he doing? I'd ask myself why it bothers me, but I know why...bc I cared for him. It hurts

Of cors it hurts when someone you cared for is seemingly looking for your replacement before the paint has even dried. It's a natural response, breaking up doesn't mean you get to magically eraze the past don't get caught up in his post-relationship activities, he's doing what he needs to in order to deal. You should focus on you instead

All over the internet it says you should wait at least a month before talking to an ex.

So clean cut would probably help some.

I agree. Even if you want to salvage the friendship, there should be a 'no contact' period to allow you to adjust to the new dynamic.
