Caterina Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I was in a relationship of sorts...he was my best guy friend and because he doesn't reciprocate romantic feelings we decided it would be best not to see each other anymore. I don't want to discuss whether that was the right decision- it was. But I'm having a hard time moving on...how long do you think it will take? Do you have any suggestions to speed up the process? I'm naturally inclined to depression and I don't really think I can take another thing. My family is sending me hate mail during this...so basically I lost the only person who cared about me while they attack me. I know this is a lot harder on me than it is on him. and I keep hoping he'll change his mind Link to comment

charliebrown Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 animals and friends help me the most. ice cream too. don't think of everyday as worse than the day before, you can't possibly be sadder tomorrow than you already were today. do anything you can to enjoy yourself. go on dates when you feel like it.

BetterKarma Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I don't think it's a gender thing. It's more of how much you put into the relationship or how invested you were emotions wise. It's very subjective. Link to comment
arcadefire Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I think the more you've fallen, the longer it takes to get back up. Links in with the more emotionally invested you were. I also believe that extroverted, positive, high self-esteemed people tend to fare better in break ups as well. Link to comment
