I miss him. Any tips to mend a broken heart?

Question

I decided to break up for religious reasons. My faith doesn't condone dating people who are not the same religion. So we decided to be friends even though we love each other very much. I miss him everyday. Any advice on how to mend my broken heart?

Answer

So is truly loving someone not enough? Religions that put such strict rules upon people’s lives is really hard for me to understand.

Answer

Keep yourself busy, so you don’t think about him, you are actually probably better off not even being friends with him, because it’s like lemon juice to an open wound. You chose not to be with him, you already made up your decision you made up your mind. And the fact of seeing him move on and seeing him with someone else is going to be like lemon juice to an open wound as well. Keep yourself busy, tell him luck this isn’t working out, I don’t think we should be friends, and I really don’t want to see you move on with someone else. That’s like torture. So I think we should both go our separate ways. I’m sorry, but I I think this is what is best for the both of us. And keep yourself busy that is my best advice to you. Spending time with friends and family, dog walking, getting pets, volunteering is the best way, to keep yourself busy it’s like a makeover for your soul, it gives you new perspective, it makes you not focus on the little things, it makes you realize there’s more to life than what goes on in the four walls of your home, and it makes you have gratitude that you don’t have to deal with what they have to deal with. Feeding the homeless at a soup kitchen, Reading to the blind, Habitat for Humanity for people of lost their homes, etc. exercise is another great way, it’s a great way to deal with sadness and depression, naturally, your body releases oxytocin, dopamine, endorphins, serotonin, all the feel good hormones.￼￼. Same thing as spending time with pets, and children. Cuddling with a puppy, maybe volunteering at a pet shelter, or an animal rescue, you get to see them be adopted and have happy homes, get to play with them too. Get a job, get a second job, take a class, learn a language, read books, take up a hobby, a self-defense class, CPR, painting, pottery, photography, travel, there’s more to life than just relationships. Find your reason, find your purpose in life, find and do what makes you happy. Take the time to heal before you move on, because the last thing you want to do Is sabotage your next relationship by blaming the new guy for what the last guy did a previous partners or any other baggage that you may have for my own family or traumas. You can’t take baggage from a previous relationship into a new boat and not expect it  to sink. Heal, work on yourself, Keep yourself busy, don’t focus on him obviously, focus on bettering your life, take care of yourself, love yourself, date yourself, pamper yourself, you don’t need a man to do those things, and remember that a man does not complete you, you complete your self.

Answer

In this situation I would say being friends may not be the best mentally. If you still love him it is gonna be like glass shards with salt on them every time you see or talk to him. If you really need to break up that is your choice but why torture both of you by trying to stay friends when it is just gonna cause pain. Find ways to keep yourself occupied,  pick up a new hobby, just stay busy but I'd say do it with a complete break of him. Not just for you but him too, especially if the break up was one sided. It has the potential to be a lot harder for him for many reasons.
