Finding love again after breakup?

[Amby138]

Hi!
So I’m currently going through the worst break up of my life. Was with my ex for several years, lived together, was planning to start trying for a baby in the new year, and now he’s left me because he has fell out of love. Neither of us did anything wrong, he just doesn’t love me anymore.
I’m trying to keep my head together and carry on, but I just don’t feel like I will ever meet anyone like him ever again. I feel like I’m done with love, but of course I do want to settle and have kids etc and just be in love again. I’m 27 years old, and lots of people will say im so young and have plenty of time, I just feel hopeless now.

Feeling sorry for myself tonight, all alone! Just hoping to hear some positive stories about love and life again and such a hard breakup xxx

I don't have any stories for you but wanted to join your thread as I'm in exactly the same situation as you but we broke up two months ago. Can't imagine being with anyone else yet but I'm sure we'll get there! Xx

It's a process, a grief cycle, seperation anxiety. It's shit but I promise it gets better. It took my 8 months to get over my ex but I'm ridiculously happy now.

Make friends, strengthen the friendships you have already got, get out in nature, join a gym, find sonething you live doing (I've been paddle boarding and sunset chasing all summer).

Change your furniture around, watch your favourite films, buy some ready meals so you don't have to think about food. Treat yourself. Journal, write him letters you'll never send.

I promise it gets better if you don't let yourself be bitter.

Having children and finding love (again) aren't mutually exclusive. Plenty of people find one or the other, some "settle" too as finding both at the same time when you need it may not be possible.

Do yourself a favour and don't get over him by getting with someone else. Give yourself at least 6 months, if not a year of finding yourself and what you love doing. There is plenty of time to find another man after.
