How to let him go
How I did it: It was horribly hard because I just moped around the house, going over everything over & over again in my head. I had to make the deliberate decision to start going out, distracting myself with activities, hanging out with old friends. Getting out was a good way to pass the time, before I knew it a few months had passed. It also reminded me that there's such a big world out there with lots of different people. Seeing him around was the worst, the awkwardness...telling each other what was happening in each other's life. The first couple of times I tried telling him stuff that made it sound like I was different, better than what he'd left, which was the worst thing to do - made me look horribly desperate. It was hard but, in my experience, allit took was time.
Lessons & tips:
- try to go out
- interact with others
- distraction
- don't try to win him/ her back
- time is the key
