I still want to talk to him though. I know I need to move on, but it’s difficult because I don’t want to move on. I still want to be with him.

In terms of healing and learning, I definitely need to learn how to be more emotionally independent, how to make myself happy rather than relying on someone else to provide me with happiness.

I agree with you that I need to move on without moving onto someone else. Another thing I need to work on is my strength to do what I want and stick with it. I have a hard time saying no and find myself easily influenced, and that applies to guys asking me out, etc.

Thanks for your response, Anita. Yes, I’d say I do feel that way, and did when we were together as well. I remember saying once in a throwaway comment that “I need him”, and he told me that he didn’t need me. This was when we were in a relationship and living together.He has been the only person I’ve felt comfortable opening up to, even after we broke up I would go to him for comfort when I was feeling down. Now that I can’t talk to him about these problems I have no one to turn to

He has been the only person I’ve felt comfortable opening up to, even after we broke up I would go to him for comfort when I was feeling down. Now that I can’t talk to him about these problems I have no one to turn to. I feel like I have no one and nothing in my life to get me through this. I know that I need to become more emotionally independent and not rely on others for my happiness, but I don’t know how to do this.
