Hello there,

its been 5 months since my boyfriend of 9 years has broken up with me, he was also my childhood sweetheart, i am now 23 nearly 24.

we lived together and had a dog, our breakup didn’t exactly go down like yours but i feel ultimately it was for the same reasons, gradually he started to make less of an effort an became cold an in turn i grew bitter, he ended up kissing a coworker an ended things with me.

ever since he has broken up with me he has cut off all contact an ignores me, this has been especially hard for me to process.

i would love if someone could reassure me that things get better? i feel completely lost without him still, i cry most nights.  ive done my best to recover, spending time with my friends more, going back to college, doing more overtime in work an ive recently joined the gym but i still feel hopeless , i just want to feel at peace, if anyone could give me some words of comfort or advice i would really appreciate it x
