  • I don’t even really remember I think, I don’t even really feel like I’ve “dealt” with it. I’ll tell some of my experience but I won’t go into too much detail.

    For us, we were even talking about marriage, but I did something wrong and I felt helpless after the break up, I couldn’t do anything, other problems arouse and I even started planning suicide.

    I tried talking to other people, some related to the situation and some not, to get perspective on stuff, I even got a new job, but depression hit me hard once I started, so I quit soon after to get that under control which was fine, my financial situation was good enough to do this at the time.

    Eventually I just started thinking about what I wanted in a relationship and somehow I stopped blaming myself, but now I have a anger I don’t know how to deal with towards her and her family, we see each other once a week during our martial arts class, and it keeps it kinda fresh on my mind but I love the class so I decided it’s worth it.

    I’m talking to someone else, not really as a potential romantic partner but someone who I can be good friends with and if it goes that way then it’s a plus. I didn’t have the biggest friend group before and it got even smaller after the break up, so I’m trying to branch out.

    I guess that’s how I dealt with it, focused on a hobby, and making new friends, making sure I got to talk it out with various people to make sure I didn’t get into an echo chamber (which my brain and family would be a major one)










  • We play it by ear most times, we currently live with our parents still, I’m in college and she’s a preschool teacher with the rest of her family (bit of explaining needed but eh, not bothering right now), so half our days are already taken, we have a day we almost guaranteed to see each other which is when we go to taekwondoe.

    When we go to the others house, we kinda both have discomforts with our homes, so we try to balance out the times we spend there, and if we aren’t feeling either place, my truck is where we go to chill out. Basically, I’m saying that if we find time, we hang out in whatever way we feel comfortable.

    There are times she needs a break from all social interaction, and I’m willing to give her space and usually hang with her fam, which im good friends with anyway.

    We have talked a good bit about this, and if we have problems, we try to find some kind of compromising, or at least an understanding. mindset is something I find dictates a lot of my mood. If I’m not in a state of understanding, I feel pissed. If I know how she feels, I find myself much more at ease, even if I don’t like the situation.

    Tldr, if we ain’t feeling it and tell the other, we fine with giving space, and usually just preoccupy ourselves.
