Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I really took it to heart and agree with what you said about moving on, focussing on myself and accepting that this relationship has really ended and it’s time to let go.

I have reservations still about one thing. I have been talking to someone about all of this and I have trouble being able to just completely disconnect him from my life. That involves social media (only instagram), but more importantly, can I be friends with him in the future? Do I need to “learn to accept him for who he is” even if he is out of my life now? I never want to be on bad terms with someone, but I don’t know if I can really be he friend in the future or be able to get lunch with him sometime and not want to tell him how much he hurt me and how much I realized about our relationship. I want to talk to him when I am level-headed… I just don’t know if it is possible.
