Tips

Hi, I've just broken up with my partner of 6 years, I know it's the right decision but just looking for advice how to cope over the next few weeks and months. Even thought I know it's the right decision it still feels awful

Do you exercise, start if not, even just a long daily walk, maybe in the evening so it will take up time where you would of previously been with partner. Will make you feel much better physically and mentally.
Book a holiday if you have a friend or someone you can go with.
Use it as an opportunity reflect on what you want from life and make changes to try and make it happen. Do you have children? Maybe it's the time to change jobs, move house, relocate etc.

Focus on something else: professional training, write a novel, get fit, try a new sport, travel, get therapy, join a club and meet new people, volunteer.

Block him on everything. In six months you'll struggle to remember why you were upset.

I have two children from a previous relationship which I have full time, (their father passed away unexpectedly) I used to be an avid gym goer before this relationship then I realise it's been 5 years since I've been, and it was the only thing I really did for me so that's defo on my list to get back into. I didn't live with my partner although he spent a lot of time at my house.

I have blocked them on everything, I was worried that might seem childish but feel it's the best way to move forward?

Its the only way forward.
