To all girls on SP

All of the “relationships” I’ve had involved people who were originally users here. The only one (although the label ‘relationship’ or not is ambiguous) that was substantial and which I was actually intimately involved in also ended when it ran its course. I didn’t block them, we figured out a way to work around our differences and reasons why things didn’t work out. We became good friends and got along well, despite deep feelings of loss and betrayal I felt that was a product of our breaking up. It all depends who this person is, are they worth being friends with? Is it too painful to be friends with them?

I don’t believe getting over someone involves completely removing every aspect of them from your life, maybe that works for some people, but personally that just throws salt in the wound for me. If you genuinely cared about a person deeply then it’s terribly hard to forget about them and move on, it’s a process, you need to wean yourself off of them. It will take time and conscious effort, but you’ll get there eventually. There really are so many people in the world, you may find someone who suits you even better than your previous partner. Of course nothing can replace them, but rather allow something entirely new to form. Don’t give up hope, life is prone to sudden change and you never know what might be behind the corner. Embrace life’s ambiguity and unpredictable nature instead of fighting it, approach change and the unknown with curiosity, be excited 🙂
