    I think it’s normal to need to grieve I think people who don’t allow that may allow themselves to grow unhealthy obsessions with someone. Just remember that people have the right to leave you. Besides if someone is forced to stay with you. Then you would never know what’s truly genuine and what’s not. Would you? No.

    People just need to realize as well they wouldn’t want someone doing that to them. Even if someone wronged you, you absolutely have the right to feel the emotions you feel. Whether that’s anger, betrayal, sadness, shock, or anything else. But don’t give these people a reason to make you look like the bad person. Don’t take the bait when they are trying to provoke a emotional response out of you.

    No, if I want to let go of someone , I let go of them , so for me to let go of someone and get to that point? , they must of had did me wrong or dirty , for me to even get to that point of letting them go , I won’t let go of a girl that isn’t letting go of me unless she cheated on me , then that’s a different story lol

    Guilty! I think I trauma bonded with him. He was the only one that was there for me when I was going through a traumatic event, but he was also emotionally abusive. He was unpredictable, he would be extra loving one minute then back to lying and getting angry the next. I was always craving for the “highs” and forgotten all about the “lows”. He cheated but I still took him back, only for him to cheat again. Even until now I’m still struggling to let him go…

    Some people are easy to let go of bc they just didn't occupy an important space in your heart/life. Others are harder to let go of bc they were a part of your life at a meaningful time or bc they held a meaningful space in your heart/life.

  • Ah, wanting to let go but feeling stuck, huh? That's a classic heart vs. mind battle. You're not alone; many wrestle with this emotional tug-of-war. Sometimes we hold on because of memories, comfort, or the fear of the unknown. But knowing what you deserve and recognizing red flags is key. Reflect on your needs and values, love. Remember, it's okay to put yourself first! 😊❤️

    What I think I've discovered is usually they get replaced and rarely thought about again simply like when I see a new piece of hot candy woman ♀️ 👠 👠 👠 my mind immediately goes "forget my current crush, I'm now crushing on that fine piece of woman's arse"

    No. I have my rare and short emotions under full control. Of course I had doubts with my first teen love few times but my rational and pragmatic mind decided to dump him and I didn't regret that a millisecond.

    Yeah it took some time with a guy I really loved but I eventually let him go.. It still hurts sometimes but for the most part I am over it since he never loved me anyways..

    Now a few years later she’s long gone in the rear view mirror

    Yeah that was my ex.. Held on to her for a while after she had probably gotten over me.. Eventually I finally decided that I can't keep holding especially once she didn't even want to see me.. Even though she expressed she did..

    Every time I "disagreed" with the breakup. For an undefined amount of time. It's unpleasant, but it always ends, I wish I knew when. Good luck !

    Never. I'm wired so that if she is no longer into me I walk away, no issues. My idea is, "Why prolong something if one or both are not happy with it?" I don't want to be miserable, nor do I want that for another.

    No. I'm ice cold. I cut my mother off after she threw a wine bottle at me for no reason and paraded around the house butt ass naked the first time she met my wife and 2 year old daughter. They were never going to know what I grew up with.
