6 months out. Initiated. Guilt, acceptance, and more.
I broke up with my gf of almost 2 years in Dec. we’d moved to a new city and didn’t work out— in the last month, we both could tell I was emotionally distant and realizing incompatibility. Just heartbreaking, as I loved her deeply and was quite attached, despite being aware of incompatibilities.
I did the breaking up— we kept texting for weeks, and I brought up my feelings still being there. Rejected, and knew that was coming.
The guilt of the last weeks consisting of me being colder and distant is eating at me. This is a person who I was close with more than anyone, and became my person.
I’m starting journaling, hit the gym for awhile now, done the recommended things. I still feel like I don’t know who I am without this person. Not sure what I’m looking for here other than to relate to others.
