Sorry I'm so late on this thread...
It does get better. Surrounding yourself with people who will support you is the best thing for the first couple of weeks, and having a friend (or two) you can call at midnight to cry on for the next couple of months is essential.
Going out and doing the things you would not have done with the ex (or because the ex didn't like it) is great advice. It's going out and doing something, and it allows you to kind of thumb your nose at the ex.. (and, yes, being angry and hateful for a little while is perfectly acceptable, but you may want to avoid creating big ugly rants on a public blog or mass e-mail rants to all the friends you had in common!)
I didn't notice how long this relationship was, but if you had been doing things like looking for places to retire together, you may want to check out a book entitled How to Survive the Loss of a Love by Colegrove, Bloomfield, and McWilliams. It was incredibly helpful to me when my lover moved out after 12 years.... |
