So scared I will never find anyone as good as my ex

It’s been 2 and a half weeks since my 5 year relationship ended (24f and 24m).

I can’t stop romanticising my ex and his life. He was funny, we were sexually compatible, attracted to each other, he has a really well paid job, just got a house, his family were so lovely, he had a holiday home, loads of friends, good at cooking, could drive etc..

Then I compare it to my life. I’m living at home, got a job I hate at half the salary of his, haven’t got many friends, feel so unattractive.

I feel like I will never find someone as good as him and I keep thinking maybe one of the reasons is because he wants someone as rich/posh as himself and I just wasn’t it. My hearts hurting and I don’t know how to make it stop.

My best advice to you is to LIVE WELL. You cannot control somebody else. You can only control yourself. So LIVE WELL. And fake it until you make it if need be Flowers

It's been two weeks! Give yourself a break. These things can take years to get over.
