A little back story: I left my ex of 3 years exactly 2 weeks ago today. He was dragging his feet about taking our relationship to the next step, ie moving in together, engagement, marriage, kids, and I was just over having to beg for my core needs to be fulfilled just because he was afraid of taking any major step in our relationship.
But the reality hit me hard: I am 33, single, and the possibility of ending up alone and miserable has really been taking a toll on me. I just know, for me to be truly fulfilled in life, I need to find my lifelong partner. But at 33??? Ending this relationship, even though it had to be done, really threw me off my game.
I have been having trouble working, eating, and everything feels numb. I don't want to have pleasant conversations, I am snapping at people when all they did was ask a simple question, and any time someone asks me how I am doing, my eyes well up with tears and I can't promise that I won't breakdown right then and there.
I am taking horse riding lessons during the week, going to the gym like usual, and also trying out dancing for the first time. I am planning a couple of trips for the rest of this year, probably solo, so I am going to keep myself busy. But like I said, all of this literally feels like a zombie is doing it.
My heart is just shattered and I don't know how to overcome this huge setback in my life.
