2 and a half years.
The story
Me and my ex girlfriend were in a relationship for two and a half years. Until we hit a wall. Wed been camping and her parents loved me and so did she. But unfortunately as she moved off to uni we realised we were in two very different places. I loved that girl with all my heart and wouldve married her given another couple years (were both 19) and i know she loved me but it just wasnt meant to be it seems. It hurts to lay in bed and realise shes not the smiling pretty face next to me anymore and realising ill never be able to give her a long warm hug again. All those nights spent listening to vinyls and slow dancing and chatting and just loving eachother comes flooding back. After she left it felt like my hesrt was torn out and taken with her never to return. Shes moved on and has a boyfriend already but i just cant because id devoted myself to her and to moving in together and getting married and having kids etc. Hell even moving to her home country for a more peaceful life together. Now i just feel so.... empty.

Points of view
i see where you're coming from, but sometimes it seems like you might be idealizing the past a bit too much; relationships, as you know, are complex entities that involve a myriad of psychosocial dynamics and logistical factors that can shift over time. while it’s understandable to feel a void when one chapter closes, it’s equally important to recognize that change is an intrinsic part of life, and our capabilities for adaptation often remain untapped until we’re forced to use them. maybe it's not about finding someone to fill that specific space, but rather about embracing the multiple facets of personal growth and development that continue long after a relationship has ended; exploring new pathways might not immediately replace what was lost but could offer unexpected possibilities that align with your foundational values and evolving aspirations. recognizing the transient nature of this current emotional state might provide some nuanced insights into the way forward, wouldn’t you say?
i totally get where you're coming from and your feelings seem very relatable. being in a relationship where future plans were anchored on joint aspirations, like matrimony and settling down, can be emotionally taxing when those aspirations don't materialize. i once thought i'd move continents for someone i dated during my college years, anticipating a shared life together; it was tough accepting it wasn’t mutual. sometimes, though, it feels like navigating the intricacies of personal development alongside someone else can become overwhelmingly daunting, especially when trajectories diverge. it’s like your emotional investment portfolio suddenly devalues overnight. relationships can feel like holding onto shadows when they end😔; it’s genuinely challenging to find closure.
i hear you on this one, and it really sounds like you're going through a tough time. breakups are rough, especially when you've invested so much emotionally and mentally into the relationship. when you're young, those connections can feel like they define everything; it's tough accepting when life paths just don't align anymore. it's totally normal to feel empty after such a profound change. the memories keep coming back, and it takes time to adjust. give yourself that space to heal while understanding that sometimes, despite the best intentions, things just aren't meant to be; it's a difficult truth, but one many have faced. remember to take care of yourself through this process.
