Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager.

How did you make it through that first night? The second? The third? Is it really just time? I feel like my body is too old to survive another heartbreak.

    First of all I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through. It’s gonna hurt, and they are times when you may feel things are too much. Just take things a day at a time, if that’s too long take it an hour at a time or so on. I’d you have friends or family you can rely on spend time with them.

    My first relationship was a 2 year one with a friend too. I blocked her on everything and cut out anything in my life that reminded me of her and immediately tried dating again, mistake for me. There will be times where you think you hear his voice and there will be a smell that reminds you of them.

    It’s ok to feel hurt sad blindsided all that. My DMs are open if you want to talk about anything as well if you don’t feel comfortable talking to someone you know. I was 23 when I went through my first breakup but 31 is not too old. My mother-in-law found live at 70 so you’re never too old.
