Trying to cope.
I don't know how many people will see this post, but I need help. Let me start at the beginning. I had ended a 3 1/2 year relationship that was mentally abusive and very unhealthy. It was heartbreaking for me to leave on the circumstance that I did still love him at the time but he was never going to change. I wasn't fully over the fact that this had happened when my current boyfriend came into the picture. I was selfish and wanted the attention so I was talking to a lot of different guys at the time. The first time I met my boyfriend I was so nervous, and when we first kissed I felt the electricity of it. It was one of the most amazing kisses of my whole life. I was terrified that he wouldn't feel the same way, and I would be heartbroken. Again. I continued to talk to these other guys. Fast forward a couple of months and I'm totally head over heels in love with him. And he finally tells me he loves me, over those months of me falling for him I slowly broke ties with the other guys I was talking to. So when he told me he loved me I was so completely happy I didn't even know what to think. We were so right for each other and always have been! Well as the months have gone along we continuously have been fighting and have been angry with each other. We just celebrated our one year anniversary on July 29th. So yesterday rolls around and I called him to ask about what was going on with him and said I was at the store and needed a bra but didn't have the money for it, I asked him if he just wanted me to get the bra tomorrow or if he would drive there to bring me the money, well I wasnt just asking him for money I have my own money I just forgot to bring it with me. So he's very short on the phone with me, so I texted him asking him what was wrong and he goes on to say he thinks we need a break from each other to find ourselves, that he still loves me and that we need to find ourselves so we can be together again. He cried and I cried and I know he means it, but I'm wondering how you go from being with someone every single day to barely seeing them anymore. This has been a very civilized break up I'm just trying to cope with being by myself more and him not being my boyfriend anymore. We're still friends and have been texting nonstop and we still love each other. We have plans to hang out tomorrow and everything, I'm just wondering how to deal with the loneliness? He says he's still my man and I'm still his woman. We were so scared to lose each other that we were holding on for dear life and not realizing how much we were hurting each other. How do I cope with being alone? He's my soulmate and I know we're meant to be together. I need to find myself but I don't know how to do that without him😭😭
