Me and my boyfriend of 8 months split up a couple of weeks ago and tomorrow is his birthday… I’ve tried being friends with him but it makes it hard to move on because I still have feelings for him… We work together closely but soon he’ll be moving across the country… I had plans to give him a really fun birthday adventure and now we’ll be spending the day apart and after his birthday is mine and we’ll spend that apart too and it just really sucks… I hate feeling sad but being a single Mom I’m “strong” 24/7 and loosing a small piece of life that brought me joy outside of being a mother isn’t the end of the world but it hurts. No matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise.
