When my ex left me 7 years ago, the advice I received from everyone was to "move on".
The problem with breakups is that our biology makes it physically impossible for us to tolerate the idea of our ex being with someone else. The thought of this causes us actual physical pain, like an amputation. But unfortunately, most "consultants" out there don't understand this. They focus on treating the mental pain of a breakup, but they don't realize that the pain is actually physical. The hormonal connections we have with our exes are destroyed during a breakup, and it feels like we're losing a part of ourselves. It's a brutal and painful process. So, if it's too painful for you, you can
consider getting your ex back - just to feel better. Then, you can decide if you want to continue this particular relationship.
