ive still not let go
«

April 08, 2013, 10:31:55 AM »
I thought I had, but in reality I've only accepted that its over, but I know a part of me still wants her back, the thought of her getting married or pregnant with her latest man saddens and scares me, and if I had let go it wouldn't.
I feel I know the reason why, its because I'm scared ill never find someone again, I'm working on being happy weather I'm alone or in a relationship, but my heart craves for one. I've never had a huge amount of attention from girls, and since we split I've not had a sniff from anyone, I guess I'm scared.
We broke up in November, been N/C since Christmas. Should I have let go by now?

Not necessarily – there isn’t a time limit is there? I remember many years ago when I had split up from my first long term GF and I hit a really bad depression, I tried to put a time limit on me being better the first week of February ( we properly split on NYE ) and guess what? By the time it came around I was still an absolute wreck, soon after that though I met someone else and we were together for 2 and a half years! Its crazy how life pans out I know……

Mate, we are in the same age range (24/25) ... .
I haven't let go either. It will take you longer to accept the loss in comparison to your ex. This is normal ... . check your inbox

No of course not! And you know what? I left the country for the summer and it was the BEST summer Ive ever had ( I didn’t see that coming! ). The way I feel right now, as explained in other posts, like Im never going to meet another girl like the one Im still in love with, but the feeling will pass I know it will, but like yourself I wish I could put a timer on it as then we’d be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel
