The girl is 27 years old, and it's been two years since her last relationship ended. She still can't move on? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I am 27 years old, a woman, and met him four years ago. It was love at first sight, and I adored him for that. Perhaps it was because he was mature, wise, emotionally stable, gentle, and caring towards me, of course, not to mention his handsome appearance, which made it hard for me to forget him after our first meeting.

This is my first romantic relationship. I had always stopped at the stage of getting to know people, never having met someone I truly liked until I met him. I couldn't control my thoughts about him, and I became anxious and restless. After each meeting, I experienced a flood of emotions that took several days to settle down, perhaps because I had an intense liking and attachment to him.

We started dating almost immediately, and he was very proactive. We would chat for hours on end during our meetings, which gradually helped me let go of my guards around the opposite sex and increased my fondness for him.

I actually lack a sense of security, and during our relationship, I repeatedly brought up breaking up to confirm if he truly loved me, but I couldn't bear to separate from him.

The reason for the breakup was that he was in contact with other girls. I chose to break up with him directly, and we have never been in touch since then. However, I still can't help but remember him, feeling extremely sad and unable to move on or start a new life.

We all have emotional problems from time to time. First, take a deep breath and calm down. Then ask yourself, does he value you as much as you value him? Think about what you like about him and what you like about her. Why did you break up? Once you know the reason for the breakup, you will know what to do.

There are lots of ways you can regulate your mood physically. Have you ever thought about going to bed early, getting up early, getting some sun, and exercising regularly in moderation?

Mentally, you can regulate your mood by imagining happy things that have happened in the past, happy things that may happen in the future, and the beautiful things you like. It's a great way to lift your spirits!

For example, if you like a celebrity, imagine them smiling and happy. Then when you're unhappy, think about how happy they make you feel. This way, your mind will be filled with these good things, and these good things will help you banish the bad emotions from your mind.

Build a warm little harbor in your heart, just like a child does when they see their parents. You don't have to feel secure to do it, but it's a wonderful feeling! You can also keep everything you like in your heart, so that you can be with them all the time. This way, you have a warm little harbor where you can take refuge from the storm. When you're feeling down, just keep thinking about these beautiful things and keep them firmly in your mind.

The best part is that it doesn't cost any money, and you don't have to give anything up! You can do it anytime, anywhere, and it's not bad for you.

You can do it anytime, anywhere, and it's good for you, so go for it!

Why not give it a go right now? Just think about all the things you like, all the happy things that have happened to you in the past, and all the wonderful things you hope will happen in the future. Imagine all this in your mind, and then just experience what you feel when you imagine it.

Greetings,

From your description, it is evident that you have a strong emotional attachment to him and that the reason for the breakup is significant to you. However, in order to address the issue of your inability to move on, it is essential to examine your thoughts and feelings about him in greater detail.

Two years have elapsed since the dissolution of the relationship. Has the content of your thoughts about him remained consistent throughout this period?

For example, when you think of him, do you consider the positive actions he took on your behalf, your feelings towards him, the joyful experiences you shared, or the instances of conflict and subsequent dissolution of the relationship?

The consideration of disparate factors suggests that the underlying causes of this inability to move on may also vary.

If one considers the positive aspects of the relationship, it may be challenging to move on due to the belief that such a compatible partner may not be readily available in the future. Similarly, if one reflects on the positive feelings associated with the relationship, it may be difficult to move on due to the assumption that it may be challenging to find a relationship that evokes such positive emotions again.

If one considers the happy moments shared with a former partner, the inability to move on may be attributed to a sense of dissatisfaction with one's current circumstances. Similarly, if one reflects on the dissolution of a relationship after an argument, the difficulty in moving on may be attributed to feelings of guilt or regret about one's actions during the conflict.

From the aforementioned description of the situation, it can be surmised that the subject is preoccupied with recollections of their interactions with the other individual at the time.

You indicated that you lack a sense of security and will use the dissolution of the relationship to ascertain whether the other person truly holds romantic feelings for you. Additionally, you stated that the reason for the termination of the relationship was the other person's contact with other romantic interests, and that you chose to end the relationship directly.

I note that you employed the term "directly." Might I inquire whether, at the time, you perceived the existence of alternative courses of action? Could this be the rationale behind your tendency to ascribe culpability to yourself?

One might inquire as to why it is not possible to commence anew.

One potential course of action is to indulge in the recollection of past happiness and joy. Another is to ascribe blame to oneself for past actions. A third is to exhibit apprehension regarding one's capacity to form a new relationship.

You are currently engaged in a process of reflection on your thoughts and actions at the time in question. However, you appear to lack confidence in your ability to resolve this issue. It is possible that you are concerned that initiating a new relationship may lead you to rely on the dissolution of previous relationships as a means of confirming the affection and commitment of your partner, and thereby maintaining your own sense of security.

It is important to recognize that life is constantly evolving and that personal growth is an ongoing process. A new chapter in one's life is often shaped by challenges and changes. Ruminating on past experiences and anticipating future challenges may not be conducive to embracing a new beginning.

One must therefore endeavor to place a modicum of trust in oneself and endeavor to take the initial step.

The aforementioned information is intended for reference only. Best wishes for success in your endeavors.

Hello, girl. I can see you're confused. Hugs!

You have relationship problems. I hug you again.

You are 27 and it has been two years since your last relationship ended.

You haven't let go of your last relationship.

What do you need to do to get over your last relationship?

I suggest these methods.

Write a formal farewell letter to the guy from your last relationship.

Use the "empty chair technique."

The "empty chair technique" is to imagine your ex is sitting in another chair and say what you want to say to him.

Once you've said it, you'll feel better.

If you don't know how to use the "empty chair technique," see a counselor.

Also, make more friends so you won't be so affected when your relationship suffers a setback.

I hope you find a solution soon.

I'm out of ideas.

I hope my answers help and inspire you. I am the answer, and I study hard every day.

Yixinli loves you! Best wishes!

I can totally relate to how you feel. It's tough when your first love leaves such a deep impression. Even though it's been a while, my heart still skips a beat thinking about the good times we had and how special he made me feel.

Shayla Anderson Truth is the glue that holds society together.

It sounds like this relationship meant everything to you. The way you describe him and your time together is so heartfelt. I wish there was a way to go back and change things, but all we can do now is cherish those memories and hope they bring more smiles than tears.

The pain of losing someone you loved so much never really goes away, does it? I admire your courage for confronting the situation headon, even if it hurt. Sometimes moving on is the hardest thing we have to do for ourselves, and it's okay to take your time with that process.

Kennedy Miller Time is a precious gift, waste it not.

First loves are unforgettable, especially when they're as intense and meaningful as yours. It's clear you gave your whole heart to him, and it's understandable why letting go is so difficult. Just remember, feeling this way shows how capable you are of loving deeply, and that's a beautiful thing.

Kato Davis The knowledge imparted by a teacher is a treasure chest that students unlock throughout their lives.

Reflecting on what you shared, it seems like you were both young and perhaps inexperienced in handling certain aspects of relationships. While it's painful now, maybe this experience will help you grow and find someone who appreciates and respects you fully in the future.
