Not true, took me a year to get over my last ex - but I was genuinely in love with him. Depends on how deep the feelings were. Before him, I knew I was just kind of settling or “in like” liked the company from time to time or hanging out, not that serious. For me, after the last break up, even though I initiated the break up, I kind of retreated into solitude for a while, depressed and lonely bc I had to adjust to not being with him and didn’t want to be with anyone else. With the others, it was more of finding distractions to move on. Like fukkk it, wasn’t that into it anyway type of deal.
But on the flip side of that, I would never let the last ex know I was hurting/weak or bothered, even though he was on my mind all the time. Just played it off like I didn’t care so he wouldn’t think he had control over me, avoided him and didn’t engage him - not return his texts or calls , even though I really really wanted to. Didn’t rebound or f with no one either, bc I wanted to got my mind right, back on my square.
To this day, he still tries to get back together .....leaves messages, and what not. it still triggers me emotionally , but the shyt was toxic as hell, so I stopped romanticizing the situation, just learned to live with that loss, bc it happened for a reason.
