Positive stories of love after heartbreak

[Crumpets123]

Sunday night blues.

Newly split from partner and weekends are hard.

Proud of myself for how I have handled myself this weekend... I allowed myself to cry without shaming myself. But then also "picked myself up" and tried to do positive things for myself like going to the gym, inviting a friend over for coffee and a catch up, meeting another friend for a walk, doing a bit of gardening and housework, and currently got some roast potatoes in the oven making myself a roast dinner for one because it is my favourite meal and I deserve it!

I guess I'm sharing my wins here because i can't tell my partner (ex). I have wanted to lie in bed and wallow and cry, but I have tried to take care of myself and put one foot in front of the other.

But still I sit here on the sofa on a Sunday night and miss having my partner to snuggle up to... to watch a programme together and have someone to comment on it with. I feel sad. I miss my ex so much.

I panic that I won't meet someone. I panic that there is something wrong with me. I panic the relationship not working was all my fault and I will never have the kind of happy, healthy relationships my friends have.

I panic noone will ever love and cherish me :(

Please can people share their positive stories of love after heartbreak

Hey

Last year I found out my ex husband had been stringing me along whilst sleeping with my ex best mate

I honestly cried myself to sleep some nights and thought I would be alone for ever as who would want someone with health issues and 3 kids etc

But I met someone about 3 months ago and I'm learning what a relationship really should be like and how amazing it can be. So hold on in there. It hurts like hell now but one day you really will be okay x

Thank you @Sideorderofchips I'm so sorry you went through that and I'm really glad to hear that you are so happy now! How have you been able to trust your current partner after being hurt so badly in the past?

He knows about what happened with my ex husband and is very reassuring with me and already I know he is a completely different person. I still get inside my own head and question if it's all real but I'm working on it

My last relationship ending terribly. He was still married and I ignored the red flags. It was all very dramatic & sad. Never again.

I used lockdowns to work on myself and sit in the sadness/void really. After 10 months I decided to give OLD a go and I’ve met the love of my life. I still can’t believe it’s happened. I’m convinced really feeling that break up meant I was truly available to meet a great guy.
