Dear Question Asker,
I observed your inquiry on the digital forum and empathize with your situation. You have terminated your romantic relationship with your partner, and it is understandable that you are experiencing a range of emotions, including sadness. It is therefore recommended that you take some time to process your feelings.
It appears that the dissolution of the relationship was conducted in a relatively amicable manner. The individual in question indicated that they did not experience any emotional distress during the separation and did not have any objections to the circumstances. They recognized the significant emotional support that was provided by the former partner throughout the relationship and recalled numerous positive experiences together.
Given the circumstances, it is understandable that the individual would desire a cordial separation. This is a common occurrence in romantic relationships.
The issue arises from the fact that your former romantic partner indicated during the dissolution of the relationship that the reason for this was the influence of a mutual friend who was not supportive of the relationship. This has led to feelings of distress and suspicion that the dissolution of the relationship was motivated by a desire to avoid accountability. However, you are experiencing a profound sense of anger and injustice.
What is the appropriate course of action in this situation?
1. I would first like to inquire whether your current emotional state is primarily a result of the dissolution of the relationship, or whether it is influenced by the statements she made during the dissolution. Are you distressed by the quality of the relationship you had with her?
Alternatively, might your anger be directed at her for her evasive and irresponsible behavior? It is possible that she may have terminated the relationship simply because another friend suggested that she do so, without considering your feelings.
2. If the latter is the case, it is to be expected that feelings of anger, sadness, and injustice would ensue. Given that he has chosen to terminate the relationship, it is reasonable to conclude that your role in his life has effectively come to an end. This raises the question of what your relationship meant to him and what it signifies in his life.
Moreover, it is uncommon for individuals who have genuinely loved each other to remain friends after a breakup. Therefore, there is no need to actively attempt to maintain the friendship; it will likely evolve naturally over time.
3. If she has truly made up her mind, it is even less likely that you can force her to change her mind. If you are uncertain about the reason behind her determination to end the relationship, you can inquire further about the underlying cause. You can also express your current thoughts and feelings. It is important to remember that women are more emotionally expressive than men. When asking her about the reason for the breakup, it is advisable to remain calm and avoid scolding her. If the relationship is truly beyond repair, you may have to accept the separation, even if it is difficult. However, understanding the real reason for the breakup can facilitate the healing process. It is also important to consider the possibility of salvaging the relationship. Initiating a conversation with her could be beneficial.
The question thus arises as to how one might overcome a romantic separation and adjust one's emotional state.
1. If one has done nothing wrong and is nevertheless forced to endure the pain of separation, it is important to recognize that this pain is not a result of one's own actions. Regardless of the nature of the relationship, separation is inevitable. However, same-sex love is often accompanied by a heightened level of emotional distress. It is essential to acknowledge these feelings, rather than rejecting or denying them. Accepting these emotions sincerely and fully is an important step in the process of healing. Accepting the reality of the breakup and preparing to face the pain of losing love can facilitate a more rapid recovery.
2. It is a widely acknowledged fact that being heartbroken is an extremely painful experience, and that everyone who has experienced such a situation will inevitably go through a challenging period. This is to be expected. It is therefore recommended that you identify a trusted individual with whom you can discuss your feelings, express your frustrations, and receive emotional support. In the event that you are unable to overcome your feelings, it may be beneficial to seek the guidance of a professional counselor.
3. It is important to allow oneself to experience grief and sadness during this period. There is no need to suppress these feelings, nor to pretend that everything is fine. Instead, it is essential to follow one's heart and to release these emotions in a healthy manner.
4. To truly return to one's previous state, it is recommended to seek out the assistance and companionship of genuine friends, engage in activities that one enjoys, take walks, observe one's surroundings, and engage in physical exercise when appropriate. This will help to distract one from one's current state of mind.
There are numerous methods for achieving this, which can be trialed and selected according to personal preference. It is advised that one should attempt to elevate their mood as soon as possible, as the distress associated with a broken heart can be mitigated by the passage of time. This process may take between one and six months.
It is my sincere hope that this response is of some assistance to you.
I extend my warmest regards to you and to the world at large.

I can totally relate to feeling conflicted in this situation. It sounds like you're processing a lot of emotions. Maybe it's time to reflect on what value this friendship would bring to you now and decide if maintaining contact serves your peace.
It seems like there's a lot of unresolved emotion here. Perhaps talking things out with her might provide some closure, or maybe distance is needed to heal. Only you know what's best for your emotional health.
The breakup reason she gave does sound problematic. It might help to focus on your own feelings and needs rather than trying to make sense of her friend's disapproval. Your worth isn't determined by everyone liking you.
Feeling used as a scapegoat can be really frustrating. It could be beneficial to seek support from friends who appreciate you or consider speaking with a counselor to navigate these feelings of anger and resentment.
It's understandable to feel upset when past relationships turn sour. Sometimes setting boundaries or even stepping away entirely can be the healthiest option, especially if the relationship no longer adds positivity to your life.
