My ex’s mother is an amazing person and she loves me a lot. But after our break up she messages me everyday, even though she is very attentive to me and I feel respect to her, it doesn’t really help.
Sometimes when she mentions my ex and reminds me of him, that makes me feel bad cause I really try not to think about him. Reminding about him and the way we broke up makes me feel emotionally unstable and briefly obsessed over our break up again.
And makes me start thinking about something that I already tried hard to put in the past. It does affect my emotional well being, cause I don’t want to think about that anymore, but she messages me everyday, like a good boyfriend, every morning and every day ends with her good morning and a good night and since she is my ex’s mother, it reminds me of him and I don’t want that.
I want to totally forget, which I succeeded almost but talking with his mom doesn’t help. She’s a very nice woman and loves me dearly, I don’t want to hurt her though.
I don’t want that though.
That break up totally messed up my mind. I don’t want to try to reconcile with someone who felt it was okay to lose me. It does affect my emotional well being to even think about that or talk about.
I want to forget and not to think of him fondly. But the stories she tells, makes me feel sad about him, makes me want to hug him and comfort him. Makes me think maybe it was me who wasn’t good enough, but no… I was very loving. He told me that after break up, that he doubts he will ever meet someone to love him the way I did.

I’ve been in therapy after break up. It really messed me up. Therapy helped a bit but I think it’s still my journey.
The lowest period I had I already overcame without taking any medications. I think I can train my willpower myself to better be able to control my emotions. But at least I need some time totally away from anyone who reminds me of the past event that caused me that emotional pain.
Good for you and it seems that you a determined spirit. Taking charge of one's own destiny is both attractive and healthy.
Thanks. We broke up in the end of August.
It’s been 5 months so I try not to judge myself too hard. It was my first relationship and lasted over 3.5 years. And he was my fiance.
I am much better now than I was before. Talking and writing here helps me express my emotions.
I have been through that and she followed me to graduate school. She saw my job which required international travel and gave me ring back. "I did not sign-up for this,"
You must have been very young at that time. I think that was for the better. Long distance would make both of you suffer.
As for me and my ex, the relationship ended due to long distance. We lived together the first year, then Covid happened and China locked up. I couldn’t go back to him, he couldn’t leave his country for 2 years. We were an amazing couple but the long distance and time changed both of us.
How long did it take for you to recover from the break up?
year-2 by 26, I was good
