Starting a new chapter

Can I ask advice/experience from anyone who has had to cut someone out of their life after a long period of time (22 years in my case)? How do you let go of one life and embrace a new one without them in it? I'm finding it difficult, despite it being the right thing to do. Also, when the person you are letting go has already made that transition, how do you get used to it? I don't know what I'm asking really, I just feel really crap and I can't understand why.

It’s hard but it’s possible. I was with my STBXH for 11 years and he just told me he didn’t love me anymore one night in July and that was it.. no pre warning, he just changed. It’s been a tough 6 months but I’m finally excited for whatever the next chapter might be. Focus on you, don’t focus on him and how he’s doing.. it’s irreelvant to you and your new life.

You can’t move forwards if you keep looking back xx

I think with time. Also keeping yourself productive and self improvement. Fill your free time with things you love to do. Surround disappointed yourself with friends. Accept that it's over and think about healing now.
