AIBU for not getting over this

So to cut a long story short, someone who I got close to and was a great emotional support to me, someone who I had feelings for which I believe were reciprocated (although we never admitted or did anything about it, other than a few lingering, tight hugs and lots of prolonged eye contact - we def cared for each other)…he ghosted me. He knew how much I needed him and he knew I was there for him too, it just wasn’t the right time for anything to happen. He moved away and ghosted me.

I know he has a whole new life with another person and is seemingly happy. I however, am struggling massively. I’m concerned for my mental and emotional health as it’s been months now and I just can’t get back to being myself. I think about him all the time and play back memories in my head. I feel so sad and annoyed at myself for being so pathetic. I’m seriously annoyed at how much I think about him and how low I feel. I feel like I’ve lost that someone who cared and supported me and understood me with just even looks, no words necessary. Then I think, did I read too much into it and rely too heavily on them for my mental health - I was so much happier when they were around and saw them most days.

I feel stupid, lost and so angry at myself. I need to get over this and I miss that support during difficult times in my life. I can’t get over it. It is getting on for almost a year.

How do I stop thinking about this person and move on?

Sorry you’ve wasted 10 years

why on earth would you want to waste any more? Of course he’s apologetic… for now
He’s been caught
