Just left relationship, tips to make me get over him easier

5 replies

Been with partner for 6 years, engaged and wedding booked for next year. DS aged 2 together. I’ve had enough of being spoken down too, treated not the way I should be, sick off the phrase “well I don’t go out” so this is a free pass to do fuck all in the home apart from play his Xbox.

I am madly in love with him, and my DS loves him but I’m on the verge on burnout, and I’m losing myself the confidence etc due to the relationship. How do I get over him yet I have to see him for my DS?

Thanks in advance for any replies

How can you be 'madly in love' with someone who makes you feel like this?

Quickest way to get over someone is to get under someone else!!
When I threw my exh out I met a soldier and had a steamy fling!

Got to agree with you there Bunny!

Getting under someone else to get over someone may sound crass but I believe there’s truth in it.

Even if it’s only a one nighter - being intimate with someone else can bring a bit of closure. It also helps to remind yourself that there are other possibilities out there for you and you are attractive to others.

I wasn’t suggesting you have an affair btw - I mean once you’re out of the relationship!!

Get over him by being proud of the value that you have placed upon yourself and know that you are not going to spend the next x amount of years being treated like a mug. In the beginning of a split, it's often the absence of their presence that's hard so do nice things for yourself and ds. Go places he didn't like to go, spend some time looking after yourself, spend time with your friends. My ex hated cats so when I threw him out, I got myself two kittens. I'd wanted them for ages but he'd refused to have a cat in the house. The cats were infinitely better company than him! 😂🐈‍⬛
