How do you deal with heartbreak at this age?
Dear Ladies, previously I got brilliant advice here, so here I am again for some wise thoughts, comfort. I (34F) have been dating a man (45M) for more than seven months. Everything went really well, I felt like I had found the love of my life, he put a lot of effort into the relationship, it was perfect really. Then we had a convo about us and it turned out he loves me, but “not that much”. I was shocked, and asked him about this, that from his actions I was under the impression that we were on the same page. His reply was that he is doing everything as he can because he wants to fully fall in love with me, but he is just not there yet and not sure when he will be, if ever. I told him, if it hasn’t happened yet, probably it won’t so it would be better to end this. I am shuttered. I am disappointed. I am angry. I am devastated.
I am not sure how to move on from this. I do my work, I go to the gym, I run, I do everything I possibly can but I am just sooo sad all the time. And here I am again, almost 35 and have nothing but my cat. How do you recover from a breakup in this age and find the strength to start over the dating stuff all over again?
