Will the heartbreak get easier?

[Anonymous]

My long distance boyfriend ( we are on different continents it'd be a minimum of 1 year before we see eachother) and I broke up recently because of fights that would happen all the time. He told me something between us is broke and honestly I agree. I told him I loved him I'm sorry for everything that has happened and I wish him the best. I told him I'm going to block him on everything not to be mean but I have to move on and I can't do that if I still watch his social media. Nobody did anything wrong it just didn't work out but it still hurts so damn much. I'm 28 and tired of dating. Does this shit every get easier?

Aw man, that really sucks. Breakups are always so hard, no matter what. But you did the right thing by blocking him - that's gonna help you start to heal instead of clinging on and hurting yourself even more by stalking his socials.

I know it doesn't feel like it now, but it will get easier over time, I promise. The heartbreak pain starts to fade more and more each day until one day you realize it doesn't hurt quite as bad anymore. Seeing other people move on and finding someone new helps too.

For now, just try and keep yourself distracted. Spend time with your friends and family, pick up a new hobby, work out - whatever you can do to keep your mind off things. Let yourself cry and feel sad when you need to, that's normal. But don't dwell on it and beat yourself up.

You're gonna get through this. You're strong and you learned from this relationship. One day soon you'll be ready to put yourself out there again. For now, focus on you - you totally got this!

The pain from the break up does get easier but the difficulty of dating doesn't
