everything #1 said. also, be kind to yourself during this time. feel out through all your emotions, it’s important to know that they’re all valid. try to keep yourself distracted, but also leave time to yourself to sit and feel. it’s a balance. please take care of yourself, breakups are hard. <3

What I did was I focused a lot of my energy on the things that I loved in life. People say focus on yourself but that can be extremely broad and difficult if you don’t really know what that means for you specifically. I really enjoyed the company of my friends and tried to spend every free minute with them. I got back on dating apps pretty much immediately and went at a pace that worked for me

From me: it’s easy to make them the villain, but I treat a break up as a time of self reflection. I use it as a time to step back and evaluate how I feel and what’s all happening. I also think about the relationship and how it made me feel and what I need to learn from this if anything.

Personally what helped me the best was to look for a rebound/hookup while keeping the mindset of finding a new relationship to start dating again (within a reasonable amount of time) I set up tinder to look for a hu but I set up hinge as well as I could for a genuine connection and pretty much used both as different ways to 1.) get the rebound mindset taken care of and 2.) get comfortable with the idea of moving on and seeing all the great people I now have the chance of going out with

In summary I got my rebound abt a month after the breakup and shortly after that I met my current partner on hinge and went out with them for a month and then became offical (my ex and I broke up after 4 months so it’s similar to your relationship length but not the same) definitely felt like that really worked well for me especially bc we’ve been together for almost 2 years now and constantly talk abt marriage plans in the future. Hopefully this helps you out and feel free to reach out
