I split up with my long term partner in October last year. It was my decision because I wasn't a priority to him. I did think that by splitting up and standing up for myself that this would jolt him into action - but it didn't. I feel really sad every day. I keep myself busy with work and hobbies. But every day I have these massive waves of sadness washing over me and I just feel adrift on them. I wanted to reach out and see how others have coped.
