Heartbroken and Unsure How to Move On
The story
I never thought I’d feel this way, but here I am, completely heartbroken. It’s been two weeks since she ended things, and it still feels unreal. We were together for almost four years, and I honestly thought she was the one. We had so many plans—talking about moving in, maybe even getting married someday. But now, all of that is just... gone.
She said she needed "space" and that she wasn’t happy anymore, but she never really explained why. I’ve been replaying every moment in my head, trying to figure out where I went wrong. Did I not show her enough love? Was I too much? Or maybe she just fell out of love with me, and there’s nothing I could have done. I guess I’ll never know.
The worst part is all the little reminders of her everywhere. The playlist she made me still comes on sometimes, and I can’t bring myself to delete it. Her favorite coffee mug is still in my kitchen, and I haven’t had the courage to move it. It’s like everything in my life right now is just one big reminder that she’s not here anymore.
My friends tell me it’ll get better with time, but honestly, I don’t see how. How do you move on from someone who was such a huge part of your life? I’m trying to keep myself busy—going to the gym, meeting up with people—but it all just feels so empty.
I hate feeling this way, but I don’t even know where to start. Has anyone else been through something like this? How do you stop feeling so heartbroken when the person you love is gone? I just want to feel normal again. 😥

hey there... I get it, breakups are rough, but i gotta say: sometimes "space" is just a polite way of saying it wasn't working??? you know, many times, feelings change and it might not be anything you did or didn't do. maybe it's a case of romanticization?? ever heard of "grass is greener syndrome"? people think there's better out there... your friends say it'll get better... but have you considered it just becomes... less noticeable??? realign your expectations, maybe... it's like that saying "time heals" but, does it really??
anyway, remember, healing isn't always linear... good luck!!!
totally get ur feelings but honestly I think u might be overthinking it a bit! I've been there too: felt like the world was ending but ya know... sometimes it's just not meant to be: when my ex left I thought I'd never get over it too! But eventually, I realized it was for the best :-)
u gotta give urself time and space to move on... life ain't a rom-com, things just happen! hang in there man 😅
totally get what you're going through. breakups can definitely leave you feeling lost and confused; sometimes it's not easy to pinpoint exactly what went wrong. the emotional and psychological impact is tough, especially when memories and shared experiences keep popping up. it's natural to analyze everything, looking for answers that might not even exist. even though it feels overwhelming now, focusing on personal growth and maintaining a healthy routine can help. just take things one day at a time.
Hello,
I must express my viewpoint, which diverges from your story/point of view. Emotional upheavals, such as breakups, often distort our perception. One might say the feelings you're experiencing are inflated. 💔 In my experience, dwelling excessively on the past does not facilitate healing; rather, it magnifies distress. Despite the pervasive notion of soulmates, I maintain a skeptical perspective. Could it be that this separation, though painful, is an opportunity for introspection and growth??? It's crucial to question whether the perceived bond was truly as profound as it seemed.
Time and distance often illuminate these truths. Stay strong.
