What do i do to heal my broken heart?
I’m 17 years old & my boyfriend & I just broke up. We were together for almost a year and he lived with me for 6 months. He is a drug addict & it was hard to live with him when i was againest drugs.( i helped him as much as i could finding places for rehab meetings & trying to help him when he was struggling & it didnt help him he didnt want help) He got kicked out of my house about 2 weeks ago & moved in with his sister 3 hrs away, which was hard because i was used to seeing him everyday but we wanted to try & make it work. A few days ago he called me & told me he needed to talk to me & he said he fell for his sisters fiances daughter who lived in the house with them & he had been sleeping with her & they were pretty much together. We broke up & i’m so heartbroken i don’t even know what to do. All i can think about is him with her & how screwed up it was. It hurts sooo much!!! I need some advice asap!!! =(
You’ll get a lot of advice telling you that the other guy was trash or that your time is better spent elsewhere.
Unfortunately, logical arguments don’t quite do it for severe emotional trauma.
When I broke up with my first girlfriend, I didn’t get over it until I convinced myself that I was in love with someone else.
Once that happened, it was all gravy (and I ended up getting with that second person too!)
Try to redirect your energies – there are a lot of fish in the sea. Being distressed about someone who doesn’t care about you is a complete waste of time.
