How long did it take for you to start dating again?
My girlfriend broke up with me last month. She told me at the beginning that she's FA and she really wants to heal from it. Turns out the relationship was just too much anxiety for her to handle right now, so she told me it wasn't my fault, she just needs to be by herself in order to start therapy and work on this. I still care for her very much, I saw her (and honestly still do if she heals) as someone I could have built a future with. I know the most important thing for me to do now is to give her time and space to heal, so that's what I plan to do. She also said she didn't want this to strain our friendship, so I at least know she doesn't want me completely out of her life. I'm still healing and know that I can't expect her to come back, but I'd definitely be open to that possibility.
I guess my question is how long did it take you to want to start dating again? Not necessarily being fully healed but at least comfortable with the idea of being uncomfortable I guess.
