It feels really empty and sad. A week ago, I ended a three-year relationship, and I can’t think about anything else. It feels impossible to be without him. I truly believed I would spend the rest of my life with him.
We had our problems, but we were always willing to work on them together. We’ve broken up many times before, but we’ve always found our way back to each other. I don’t know if that will happen again. I realize that maybe it’s for the best, since there were issues that might never have gone away.
But in the middle of all this emptiness, all I want is to be next to him. It feels so incredibly awful. I don’t even have anyone I can talk to the same way I talked to him. I miss everything about him.
I know that if I messaged him, we would probably get back together—but I just don’t know what to do.
Tell me what I should do—what would make this easier. And yes, I know that reaching out won’t help.
I know I just need to keep doing things and focus on myself. I’m traveling alone right now, and everything feels twice as awful.
