I was just wondering about different peoples experiences and how long it took you to fully recover from a break up?
I’m 4 weeks out of a 8 year relationship, just under a year of that was married and I’m struggling. I have a dd who is keeping me going but it also means I have to see my ex at least twice a week which is brutal for me. He ended it but I’d say it was a mutual break up.
I was fine to begin with, busying myself with dd and sorting our lives out. But since I found out he’s been messaging other girls I’ve gone to pieces! I can’t have meant that much to him if he’s doing that!
The thing is, I was miserable leading up to the break up, when it happened I was relieved so why am I a mess now?
I’ve also read on google it takes half the length of your relationship to get over it. Am I really gonna feel like this for 4 years???
