Day 9 (broke up 2 1/2 months ago)
I'm new to this forum, this is actually my first post. Contact was initiated 3 times by me since the breakup, text messages only, just random stuff. She replied all of them, probably out of politeness.
Nothing hurtful was said at any point, it was an amazing relationship during the first 2 years, we just grew apart after she went abroad to study last year. She's much younger than me (23, I'm 29), and I completely understand why she ended it. She just can't see a future with me.
I still feel terrible, but I've made some progress in the past few weeks. I'm getting more sleep and eating normally again. I know I wouldn't get back with her now or anytime soon if she suggested it, which is a massive improvement, it means I've come to accept the fact that the circumstances just aren't right at the moment.
It's hard but it will make me stronger.
Good luck to everyone!
