I'm Heartbroken and Devastated

go to the North.

Easy for me to say, but try your hardest not to do the 'rebound' thing. Getting broken up with is the most horrible kind of gut punch, and I am sorry. Sit with your feelings for a while; maybe call a super‐supportive friend or two to help you process.

Men are like streetcars. You miss one and another one will be coming soon.

Be like your fingernails nails and press-on, honey.

If you love someone, set them free. If they don’t return to you, hunt them down and kill them.

Welcome to the club!

I am currently in love with hundreds of beautiful, courageous Ukrainian people I've seen and heard interviewed over the past three weeks. I actually feel infatuated with many of them when I hear them talk.

My advice: be glad you live (presumably) in a peaceful time and place and look for aspects of people you already know that you already love.

"The one" is a trope from literature and entertainment. Love is bigger and better than that.

Just smoke silly amounts of pot, copious!

become a lesbian.

Hindsight is 20/20. He wasn’t the one if he’s no longer in your life. It’s that simple.

find a therapist

Read a fantasy novel. The Ones are in endless supply in all kinds of fantasies, including romantic ones.

Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.

He didn't deserve you.

Hop on Grindr and invite some strangers over to fill you up with some good lovin'.

Time for revenge fucking OP

[quote]I thought he was the one.

I condole you.

Hang in there and remember that time wounds all heels.

I'll probably watch Murder, She Wrote and other comfort shows that make thing of my family.

I'm only 25.

He did you a favor. Now you will be available when someone better for you comes along.

Keep his stuff.

I'm sorry OP. There is tons of advice online. Take the advice that seems most appropriate.

Dear OP,

I know this sounds stupid, but go for a walk. That’s what I’m doing in a bit.

A long walk clears the head and makes one feel like everything is gonna be OK, because usually, it is gonna be OK.

Love u, OP. ❤️

You dodged a bullet there.

He wasn't Mascular enough for you.

If you donate your time and skills to a worthy cause, you might get lucky and have a 'cute-meet' with your next beau.

For example, these Ukrainian soldiers need all manner of relief after three weeks on the front.

Sorry, OP. I know that when it happens you feel so alone (my “first love” experience at 20 with a sophisticated 34 year old Air Force man). Take time, reflect and regroup. It did lead me to realize what an awful, entitled spoiled brat I was at the time. It also led me to leave my parents home and set out to be an adult. Unfortunately, I also threw out some babies with the bath water (some good things in my life). Anyway, a friend at the time recommended getting some good dicking. Yes, it helped also. Go for it.
