How to move on from a long period relationship
I’m a 23-year-old male and I recently went through a breakup after a 3-year relationship. She was the one who ended things because she felt like she wanted more freedom.
I’m honestly struggling to process it because we were supposed to get engaged next summer. From my perspective, we had a future planned together, so this came as a huge shock.
I feel confused, hurt, and lost. Some days I’m angry, other days I feel like contacting her. It’s affecting me more than I expected.
I’m not here to blame her or ask how to get her back. I just genuinely want to know: how do you move on from someone you thought you were going to marry? How do you rebuild yourself after your future suddenly changes?
If anyone has been through something similar, I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice.
