Hey ladies,

I’m in need of some encouraging words at the moment. My ex and I broke up over a month ago. We were together for over 4.5 years and lived together for 1 year. Towards the end he was really unhappy with the relationship and himself and he ended up being very cruel with his words. He completely withdrew. I initiated the breakup and kind of just became numb to everything until he moved out a few weeks ago. Seeing him again was so difficult and it took me a few days to recuperate. A wave of sadness has just hit me and I can’t stop crying. I thought he was going to be my forever and we bought a dog together. I can’t help but wonder if my dog is mourning the loss of his dad. I miss how things were and I feel like I’m mourning what will never be 😰
