Welcome to the board angelwings2007,
It's going to take some time to get over a 5 1/2 yr relationship especially when you are still in love and want him back.
Here's some good reading material to consdier:
How To Get Over Your Breakup
Hi Angelwings,
First of all I'm sorry for what your going through right now. Believe me I was in your same situation a month ago. My ex broke up with me 2 days before our 5 year anniversary and I was completely shattered and wanted him back. I know this is probably not what you want to hear (because i hated it when people used to say it to me)but time really does heal. Other things that helped me out was:
- Reconnecting with old friends (i lost a lot during the relationship and situations like these show you who you can really count on)
- Rediscovering yourself- what do you like to do for fun? was there anything you couldn't do while you were in the relationship but always wanted to try (i finally get to go snowboarding and am buying a dog soon)
- Take a vacation or at least go out of town for a bit...i think the one thing that helped me get over him the quickest was going to CA a week ago. Worked wonders.
I know every person grieves differently, but I'm here to say it will get better. A LOT better. I am a very emotional person. I took the breakup really hard. But if I can get over a 5 year relationship in one month, you can get over your 5.5 year relationship too. I mean yeah I still miss the RELATIONSHIP I used to have once in awhile but I do not under any circumstances want HIM back. I saw my ex a week ago and there were no residual feelings left over. Rediscovering myself helped me realize I'm better off.
