Serious question. How do you get over an ex?

It's been nearly 3 years since we split up (we were together nearly 4 years and engaged). I have been single since. There's no one I could think about being with if it's not him. The relationship wasn't perfect but there's not many that are, but to me he was the one I wanted to be with forever but he started to resent me for many reasons (none that I personally thought weren't fixable, I never cheated or anything like that) I struggle with mental health issues and he couldn't deal with them so I walked away so he could carry his life on as he wanted, which he has and I am so happy that he is finally happy and with someone who he loves and can love completely. But that doesn't stop me missing him every day. I miss his face, I miss his presence, I miss his texts. It's so fricking hard and I honestly thought being a mature adult of almost 50 I could get a better grip on this, turns out, heartbreak doesn't get any easier to navigate as you get older.

Help!

I can't help, I haven't really experienced this - however didn't want to leave the thread dry.

Hope someone can offer some potentially helpful advice!

Not sure why this just popped up for me from months ago, but I wonder how you’re getting on? I’m struggling with a break up now, feeling exactly as you describe, that there’s no one else for me and never will be. Plus, due to my age, lots of baby related grief. Thought he would be father of my children. Devastated that someone else will likely share that with him. I hope you’re doing okay and have found some relief x
