How to gracefully move on?

[Anonymous]

If you aren’t new here, I’m the girl whose boyfriend broke I’m with her for joking about wanting to be a bottle girl then she lashed out on him and mentioned his baby who passed away. I profusely apologized. He said just give him space. Then throughout the day I realized that my mean thing isn’t what caused the breakup… he had already broken up 2 days before the mean comment over stupidly joking about wanting to be a bottle girl. I was holding onto hope that when he got back from his weekend trip to a friends wedding, we would make up. But then my friend told me he’s going on a dating app. When I confronted him about it he said “Yupp made it today.” I told him he’s a terrible person and that I wasn’t going to let him get me out of character again and that I hope he finds what he’s looking for. He responded with a simple “you too”. I don’t believe anything I’ve done or that’s transpired warrants him being so cold to me he just told me he loved me for the first time one week ago

so clearly now there is no hope of reconciliation but I would like some advice on how to move on gracefully. I blocked him on Instagram because even though he does not follow me, he continues to watch my story even after confronting him about the dating app. Is there a trick to moving on? We only dated two months so I don’t know why I feel sick to my stomach about this. Help 😢.

Edit: my friend told me she saw him on a dating app and his photos on it were new photos he’d taken since we’ve been together.

Moving on from a breakup can be a difficult and painful process, but there are some things you can do to help yourself move on gracefully:

1. Allow yourself to feel your emotions: It's normal to feel sad, angry, or hurt after a breakup, and it's important to allow yourself to feel these emotions rather than trying to suppress them. Give yourself permission to grieve the loss of the relationship.

2. Focus on self-care: Take care of yourself physically and emotionally by eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Consider taking up a new hobby or starting a self-care routine.

3. Lean on your support system: Reach out to friends and family members who can provide you with emotional support and understanding during this time. Talking about your feelings with someone you trust can be very helpful.

4. Practice forgiveness: Forgiving yourself and your ex-partner can be an important step in the healing process. Try to let go of any resentment or anger you may be holding onto.

5. Give yourself time: Moving on from a breakup takes time, and it's important to be patient with yourself. Don't rush the process or try to force yourself to feel better before you're ready.

Remember that everyone's journey through a breakup is different, and it's okay to feel whatever you're feeling. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself the time and space you need to heal and move on.

May I suggest taking some time to really self-reflect here?

Second, he doesn't love you how you want here. Very honestly we forgive and make efforts to never lose those we love. He doesn't seem concerned about losing you.
