Struggling to get over him

Today is the day my X and I got together 2 years ago. We had been good friends for 7 years before that, and supported each other heavily through the ending of our long marriages.

We split up 1 year ago. He ended things, but tbh, he jumped before he was pushed. I felt like an option in his life, not a priority. The times I spoke with him about it, he apologised as he could see why his actions made me feel the way they did. He promised change, but it never came.

I still really miss him. My heart still doesn't have seemed to have got the message that my head knows being together didn't work. I miss our friendship, the fun we had, the understanding, the care, the history. It feels harder getting over him than it did my 20yr marriage.

Any advice to offer to get over him, except more time? I ask for advice outside more time, as my FWB is clearly still in love with his X from 2005. It means he doesn't give anyone else a look in. Time hasn't worked for him. I don't want to be that person!

I wish I could help here. I just send you hugs as I’m going through the same but not for so long. I miss the friendship, the chats abd having fun together. Now he’s dropping me breadcrumbs and disappeared again.
