My ex and I broke up about 2 weeks ago. I love her, I miss her, I wish we had better closure, and I still wake up reaching for her sometimes, but I have her blocked on everything because I know it's over and that it's for the best. I'm deeply sad, but I know it'll be ok.
But I have to admit that I'm getting worried about not getting married. I'm still young, but not a baby. I'm doing well in life and bring a ton to the table, but I'm just super introverted and don't get out much (also not wanting kids is a deal breaker for many). It'd be nice to settle down with someone before I hit 40, but that door's slowly closing; it keeps me up at night.
I'm just trying to stay focused on bettering myself. I'm about to apply to grad school so I can leave teaching and become a therapist, I'm lifting weights and getting stronger every week, I'm keeping my dog happy, my cooking is getting better than the restaurants, and I have lots of video games to play.
