How does it feel being single again after in a long relationship?

i am still there. i feel lonely after a break form a 5 year relationship. i have been alone for a year and i missed the wonderful times we spent together. i hope to meet someone.

For me, it is kind of a sad one. I feel that a part of me had lost and I cannot do anything just to get it back.I cried sometimes. No matter what I do, I cannot forget him.I missed him so much. Everytime, I will see the gifts he gave to me during our relationship, it makes me weak. Sometimes I'm thinking what if I had not broke with him and just continue the relationship. But, I admit that it is my pride that refrain me from talking to him. I just keep on saying to myself he is not the right man for me. I just keep myself busy in order not to be able to think of him. I put his gifts to a place where I cannot see those.Being single again after a long relationship makes me have time with my family and friend.Mingling with them makes me enjoy my life again.I continue making friends to other people also. Aside from that, broking up with him makes my faith in God stronger. I just get my strength to God. Without Him, I don't think so that I can overcome the depression I got from broking up with the relationship.

Well I guess its understandable in your case to find love back again. I think you just did is the right way when encountering that same situation. you should heal yourself before jumping on another relationship. That is what is common mistakes of those that do jump in a new relationship hoping that they would find happiness and avoid the pain. But sometimes or most of them do fail to find real happiness because new relationship is not the same as the one you had before.

i do accept what you say. it is very difficult to be a single. that too after being in relation with someone. its always a very sad thing when someone leaves, be it a friend or lover or whatever. when it is love it is even hard to digest it. i feel sorry for that. happy to hear that you are getting back on track to live life better. don't worry and look back. i wish you a very happy and brighter life ahead.
