how do you deal with breaking up with someone you thought you’d be with long term? I dealt with something similar recently 🥲🥲
I’m sorry you’re also going through this! It’s hard and sucks. Before I say how I’m dealing with this, just bear in mind that I’m a 7th house Aries Venus lol. I’m not really sad even though it’s only been a week since the breakup because I had mourned this relationship and processed this breakup many times over. There were several times throughout the past four years that I knew this wasn’t going to work. I cried a lot the week before our breakup because I knew it was coming and it felt final (and also because I was having a mental breakdown about my partner treating me so poorly during the biggest moment of my career, but I don’t wanna talk about that yet). But since it happened, I’ve really just been focusing on all the possibilities that have opened up because we split. I can leave this boring ass town that I hate. I’m moving home to Atlanta and living with my best friend and our pets! (And her boyfriend whom I also love).
I felt a lot of grief and loss in my relationship because there were just all these parts of me that didn’t fit. I loved my ex and I liked our life, but so much of what I love about myself and about life was just….missing. And I thought I was just gonna have to learn to live with it. And now I don’t have to do. And I’ve realized that I never did.
I’m coping by being really fucking excited about the life I get have. And also I’m spending all my time with my closest friends. And I’m napping, eating, watching tv and smoking weed as much as I want. And I just keep feeling so relieved that this relationship is over. I don’t say that to bash my ex. I sincerely wish the best for her and I hope she finds what she’s looking for. But I like myself and my life better when we aren’t together.
