Thanks, Mate. As much as it hurts, I’ll be okay. One day at a time.

the end of a relationship carries its own weight, it is a form of grief, and with that comes all the triggers and warnings...one day at a time, one foot in front of the other...it is all we can do until the scars start to heal...

Absolutely. I’m reminding myself that he’s the one who made the choice to end things, I can’t change how he feels, so I just have to put myself first best I can and try to move forward. Still love lhim, but I also still need to love and respect myself too.

and that is the part we often miss, self love and acceptance is so crucial..

Yep. Absolutely. The self-esteem has taken a bit of a beating so it’s a work in progress. Would be easier to move on if he was an arsehole, but the reality is that he’s a beautiful soul, he just fell out of love with me, and I can’t hate him for that.
