Positive breakup stories / moving on

[Sarah989]

Hello,
I'm a mum to 19month old, my boyfriend (farther or daughter) has left after 4 years together. He’s said I’ve changed as a mum and not the person he loved (on those lines etc) I’m finding it really hard at the moment, I’m in my late twenties and would love to hear some positive similar experiences / outcomes? Thank you! I hope this makes sense.

When me and my ex split up, and our DD went to bed I'd spend countless nights crying, feeling lonely and feeling like if I did speak to anyone else I was an absolute burden amongst not being over my family being broken up. I was 29.
It took a good few months before I realised that I preferred my new life. It was a little lonely yes, but I remembered who I was without him and then began a new era of my life, I had new friends (it helped to find single friends so they could relate to my situation), became vastly more cultured and learnt several new skills with my freetime (as we still coparented our child 50/50) by going to night school. A year or so later when discovering the new me, he decided he'd like to come back and I honestly couldn't fathom giving up myself for this man again and actually thanked him for leaving in the first place so I could find myself. We're actually quite good friends now and I'm with someone else that he gets along with fairly well with.

To summarise, it gets better, I promise ❤️
