Searching
'Searching' may imply many things, but probably not the first thing that pops into your mind. Recently I broke up with my ex because I simply wanted to be by myself. Although it was my decision, I still felt absolutely heartbroken. So much so that I turned to the internet to find blogs that gave me advice on how push through these feelings. I know how that sounds, but what’s better than some advice from a stranger - meaning you don’t have to cry to your friends over and over again. However, in every blog there was a few things I noticed:
Self-help blogs on how to get over your ex were all directed at women and their male ex partner. The list goes on about the diverse range of couples, but none were about anything other than a heterosexual couple, with the male ending the relationship with female.
Women are desperate for a man’s approval and attention. Literally all of them talked about how “there’s someone out there who is right for you”, or at least something along those lines.
Woman are the ones pining over their ex, while the said ex is completely fine and capable at moving forward.
Perhaps for many women this is the case, and maybe someone who ends the relationship doesn’t always need advice on what’s next. But in my situation, and assuming there are others out there in the same predicament, what do we do? How do we move past the world wind of emotions. I’m not sure what I am wanting to achieve through this blog, and am fairly certain this will stay unread, but I feel creating advice for people who are in my position is something that is rarely addressed.
