I'm 25. Only had two actual relationships, around two years apart and both lasting for probably a year and a half of good times followed by six months to a year of knowing it's not great but trying anyway/still sleeping together having split up etc.
I feel like my issue is that I can't let go, rather than the relationships themselves, which just fizzled out with minor discrepancies on both sides. I never feel 'ready' to start a new relationship until I feel almost completely over the last one
Most recent relationship has recently come to an end. We stopped speaking at Christmas, continued this until a couple of months ago and then slept together again twice. I didn't even like him any more as a person, really, but sleeping with him was easier than meeting someone new for self esteem reasons and when he ended it for entirely the right reasons a couple of weeks ago I felt (and still do feel) awful
sorry for the rambly nature of this but I just don't feel like I will meet 'that person' because I'm obviously not a very good judge of what that feeling feels like. Also, advice on getting over 'most recent' please?
