Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager.
How did you make it through that first night? The second? The third? Is it really just time? I feel like my body is too old to survive another heartbreak.
What I did? Vodka. It’s always vodka.
What I recommend? Find something to distract yourself. Time heals, although not completely; it’s often like a physical cut, you might get some scar that itches from time to time but it won’t be as painful as the fresh wound.
Psychic pain and physical pain use the same receptors. So antalgics like paracetamol/acetaminophen work too. You won’t miraculously forget the pain but it’ll take a bit of the edge of it.
