30 days.

Today marks the one month anniversary to him breaking my heart. I already know it is going to be a rough day, but I am wondering, now that we have been NC for 3 weeks and the only contact was to get my stuff back a few days after the break up, does it get easier from here on out?

 

I miss him terribly, and the hope that he will realize his mistake and come back just won't go away. I need that hope to disappear so I can move on. I am just going to tell myself- today is just another day, not an anniversary, just a plain ol Thursday.:sad:

me and my ex split 8 weeks ago...over the last few days i've come to accept were over, i do feel a sense of peace, i still miss him and i still love him..but i know now we'll never be together again, i'll still have bad days i know but one thing is for sure i'm over the worst. I felt the same as you that he might come back, now that feeling has gone i can move on you will get to that point too, you just need more time, it will come....1 day at a time eh.x.

The worst storm is over. Of course it will still rain from time to time...but there are sunny days ahead

After 30 days the pain is still fresh. It took me about 4 months to begin feeling remote happiness again but things did get easier over those four months. One day, it was quite odd. I was at work and all of a sudden something happened and I had a moment where I just didn't feel so sad. It was like for a moment I felt happy. I recognised it immediately because to feel anything but sadness was a complete shock. I think that was when I really started to heal myself.
