I agree with Mark. I had a boyfriend of two and a half years dump me by email. A different scenario but very painful. When I tried to email him back to find out why-he never returned any of my emails. Nor did he respond to phone calls or text. Until I blocked him out of my life I felt trapped and as if I couldn’t move forward. I went to school in addition to working. I began painting and doing all the things I always told myself I would do “some day”. And I filled my life with good friends, good hobbies and self care.  And you know what? I don’t miss him at all! I’m happier than I’ve ever been!
