I read you are still in contact with your abuser and not feeling stable, i've been there over the past year, trust me when i say if you keep as much distance from them as possible and allow your brain…
About no contact. — I just wanted to say that, yes, you should go no contact if you got dumped, only way that someone will realize what they lost is by not having access to it anymore, could take days, weeks and months f…
Met my ex after a year apart. It was the best day since our breakup. Here's what happend. — A year ago, I said goodbye to someone I truly loved. A year and a half together, big plans, intense love. The breakup was painful and messy. For a year I processed it, analyzed it, doubted myself. Ev…
The best things I did to stop me ruminating and wishing my ex would come back (After wishing she would for more than a year) — Hello Everyone At the beginning of 2025 I went through the type of breakup I would not wish on my worst enemy, I wont bore you with the details but I struggled with this for over a year. Here are …
This was what I said when we met up a week later after she said she would’ve married me while breaking up with me. Only reason we met up was cuz I asked if she was serious ab what she said and she said “yes. I would’ve married you” — I’ve had a lot of time to really think about and indulge in what happened to cause this. You are right. I shouldn’t have added her back. But what you’re wrong about is what you think what was said aft…
Sunday night drops — As a recently divorced, slightly crestfallen dad, I often stay awake at night wondering: Will I ever feel whole again? When does this hole in my chest go away? These are the questions that keep …
Time heals? Nah, TRAUMA K*LLS — ‘36m’—-‘24f’ So my pregnant gf after 6 months of being prego and in a relationship with me decided to part ways, said some junk about finding Jesus…. Needing some space and finding peace from her de…
I am looking for some practical/ tactical advice — I am almost 4 months post breakup and man this shit is so unbelievably hard and non linear. I am doing better than I was the first couple months, ie not crying all day every day, and am doing all the…
what’s something you wish people were more honest about when it comes to breakups? — i feel like most advice is always “move on,” “focus on yourself,” or “time heals everything” which is true, but also… it’s not that simple. some days feel okay, and then out of nowhere it hits again l…
Advice for healing? [20F] [21M] — Hi. I, \[20F\], have recently came to a standstill in my dating side of life. 2 years ago when I was 18 I broke up with my ex, then \[19M\],now 21M. I have only ever been in love with him, despite bei…
You can do no contact for years and still not heal. Here’s why — Something a lot of people overlook when doing no contact is that no longer reaching out to an ex is only one step in the healing process. That’s because silence and distance alone don’t facilitate em…
Everyone says "time heals" but I feel worse everyday. — Today I woke up 2 hours late. Why? Because I was lying, half asleep, BEGGING God to bring him back in my life. I was giving God some "time" to make him text me before I finally do wake up. Maybe I was…
I don't exactly have advice, but this is very similar to what I experienced with a former colleague that I dated for a bit and developed limerence for. I'm still conflicted about whether I actually "f…
Thank you for making me feel not abnormal or something like that, I truly appreciate it and it calms me down a little bit because I've been feeling very overwhelmed with all the aspects of my life I f…
honestly 3.5 years sounds really toigh to get over. i was with my ex fiance for 3 years and i feel like it literally took like 2 years for me to get over him. it just takes a while with those long ter…
I appreciate your comment, thank you! I went out tonight and got so ridiculously sad. I’m like what is wrong with me. But reminding myself time heals all wounds! Best wishes to you too.
Time heals, just difficult to see when it first happens.
Yep mine did that with an ex! Time heals all wounds and it will suck for awhile but everyday it will get easier
just 2 days shy of 2 weeks. anytime i had a crush on anyone in the past i felt like such a creep so i never made a move. i was 16 when this relationship started, and im 19 now, so dating in the more “…
Time heals all wounds and feelings change, I cut off my best friend and told people I would never forgive him or talk to him, fast forward to 4 months later the nostalgia of all our good times togethe…
Hey. I am in a similar boat in terms of closeness. He called me his soul mate and started crashing out cuz of work and broke up with me. It’s been really difficult. But as everyone says. Time heals al…
So in the end they won? Even if time heals all and exposes the truth, isn’t the time taken away also a win for them? Taking time from me to connect to family? I truly can’t believe someone can hav…
Because either there's a feeling there was maybe more to explore there, maybe when each person's situations were different or whatever... or that there wasn't. Time heals wounds. But if you're conf…
I felt quite similarly when my ex broke up with me - I don't think she knows how much pain she caused me, how attached I was to her. The first couple of months after were pure anguish, I don't think I…
All I can say is time heals. These are somethings that helped me: Find hobbies you always wanted to try. get yourself out of the house at least once a day, even if it’s literally just standing outsid…
This was a tough read and reminded me of my own parents who are starting to get frail. I’m sorry you have to go through this. You mention health. Doing anything, like going to the gym, taking long wa…
Facing the exact same thing. Hope we all will be alright soon. Time heals everything don't worry. He moved on several months back he just told you 3 months ago that's the reality.
Thanks. It’s clear you’re trying to be supportive, it just the ‘time heals all wounds’ philosophy doesn’t help anyone in the here and now. All the best to you friend.
It’s been an over a year and I’m still healing . Though I’m the one who broke - up . You’re right . 50% of relationships came from us . I’m still struggling when he flex his new rich gf in fb right af…
Not sure of the whole story. Who broke up with who and why. But at the end of the day 5 years isn’t gonna go away over night. Very likely she thought of u after and is trying to force herself to move …
I've been avoiding any contact with my ex for months and reading this made me reflect a lot. Not about reaching out — but about whether I'm actually living through this or just waiting for it to pass.…
Sorry you’re going through this. You were cheated on. And that is the first thing to process. You have every right to be hurt. But I promise time heals all. What you need to do, is what your heart alr…
Honestly, while yes, you should absolutely let her go and to continue to try to contact her would be bad, it makes perfect sense that you'd want some sort of closure with that abrupt of an ending. You…
Bro in 4 months from now you will look at this and will be glad you made the right choice. You will gwt over it. Time heals
Time heals all wounds. While we may not like how things end, we have to accept them. Keep in mind that’s what’s coming is far better than what’s behind you ❤️
You get over it one day at a time, by prioritizing yourself, your health, and your peace every single day. This is one of those situations where neither party is in the wrong, you simply have differ…
You can't imagine the amount of times i've relapsed and its been 2 months... Until i noticed that i was the only one doing it... The pain is unbearable but time heals all wounds
OP, free advice, free of charge. Have this be a litmus test for her ability to prioritize you, your trust and your feelings. Your request was very reasonable and clear, and yet now the town and countr…
Im not a relationship expert or anything, actually quite the opposite, I was also dumped recently by my girlfriend. All I can say is that there are millions of people in the same situation as us, b…
Hmm. While it makes logical sense that voluntary surveys might favour less traumatic experiences, I’d question your (?)presumption(?) about that. Time heals. Self-work heals. Something kept quiet abo…
The fact is she had the meet up planned probably weeks in advance and wasn’t going to change it even if dad passed in front of her. In time you’ll heal. It’s certainly hard grieving your dad and a rel…
It's wild how you can intellectually know "time heals" but not really \*get\* it until you're actually living through it. That awareness you've built around the triggers and patterns is huge - once yo…
I don’t even have hope that the universe will reward me. This is my second horrible heartbreak and I thought he’d never do this to me. Both relationships ended for the same reason- they didn’t love me…
I suppose I didn’t solve it THROUGH shifting honestly that entire period of my life kind of feels like a blur right now I don’t remember the transition between things being horrible and suddenly b…
Most people don't know what "time heals" truly means. It sounds poetic but the process is grueling. It feels like you are in a swamp trying to move forward no matter how much you try you feel stuck. I…
This ☝️ … my ex apologized but his pattern never changed . His ego is bigger than his b_lls . So access denied . I’m healing as well though I’m the dumpee . Now he’s driving his new rich gf car flexin…

Good for you. Time heals all wounds.
You have to realize that the person you thought you knew Was not in fact the person you thought you knew I know it sounds strange also drinking won't help you I know its fun but I just got off of the …
I recently broke up with my ex and there's things that I practice everyday in order to heal and move on. I really loved this person and we were talking about getting married so it was really hard ge…
Time is honestly the icky thing that will heal this pain. I wish I had more words of wisdom. Some of us are struggling through similar circumstances. That's all my therapist says to me. Time heals all…
Given uve just broken up ... please dont date😅its not good for ur own self ur emotions mental peace depends on u being single! Give urself time bud... time heals u will heal urself.. Love given is ne…
Totally agree with all of that and am so sorry you're experiencing the same feelings. Time heals all wounds they say.. I hope our time comes soon. Be strong and do everything you can to love yourself.…
Yes… I understand that feeling….🥹People always tell us to let go of the past, that time heals all wounds, but honestly, time only lets you get used to living with the scars, it doesn't heal them. I'm…
Very astute point as I see "when will they come back?" or "how long will it hurt?" It bothers me. Not that they are asking for insight, but that there's no way any of us can effectively give a time …
Hang in there! Its been almost 5 months now since i split up with my ex fiance of 6 years. For the first couple of months i felt like crap but slowly got better. 3 months in i found out she moved on…
It takes time. Time to reflect over all of the things that could and should have been. All of the wrongs that were done to you. The bad times. The good times. And now to think about how to move on. Ho…
From one ”survivor” to another: I think the book “Existential Kink” might be a good read for you. It was for me, and I’ve see others recommend it around here. It’s a helpful and deeply empowering ref…
You don't get through it. You get through today. That's it. Big breakups, the ones where you saw forever with this person, those don't heal in a straight line. You'll have a good morning and a terrib…
First, I am terribly sorry you are going through this. I know it hurts and how hard it is. Give yourself some grace to feel everything, to be human. Important relationships help ground us. When you l…
It more jokey, I rlly am sorry if that came off as rude. I am so glad that time makes distance, I’m just very young and have been hoping that time heals. Sorry about that
