U feels emptiness cuz there's no one to love, to care. He/she was your world, your life.

Find a new life target, be it a new partner, new work objectives, new targets to get better.

This is how u move on. Shift the focus to something/someone worthwhile.

Time will surely heals the wound. It's part of the life experience, be it good or bad. Your +ve mentality shall be your guide. Trust your instinct, not the heart at the moment.

So I have chosen the path to try to save the relationship. We still have some casual texts and meet up. I tried not to initiate to find her in a new day but she did it. Few days ago she invited me for a lunch which I felt surprise as she will date me out. It was just a short lunch session, but we still act like a couple. doh.gif

The next day morning after the lunch, I gave her a sudden call in the morning when the time she was driving to work. I knew she has a habit to have phone chat during the driving time. Apparently my phone shown I am in the call waiting. After a few calls, she picked up my call and told me she didn't realised the call as she put the phone in vibration mode which in fact she lied. I confront her with the call waiting stuff and we get into kinda bad mood which always happen when we discuss our issue. After few minutes of chat, she hung up my call and she continue to have another call again(my phone shown me). I do not assume who is the one she on call during our conversation thou. We had a few text afterwards and she gave me the reason "I don't want you to feel sad, that's why I did so'.

I started don't know what I am doing all these while. Is it still worthwhile for me to save the relationship? The way she lied to me was so natural and I may really believe it if my phone didn't show me the call waiting notification. sad.gif

you're a good man that to think saving a r/s first, rather than bailing out unnecessarily.

'bout the call waiting, is it her habit to lie/hide things from you?

on your part, it is natural for the guy to go crazy/protective of the girl, especially when she's not picking up phone, left you wondering/overthinking, etc etc. sometimes, she's just busy or was on something else. chill bro!

it's diffiicult, but try not to overthink stuffs. if you think she's an honest girl, do a face-to-face talk about it. you both need to communicate more on deeper level, setting the expectation, putting up the right effort at the right time.

try to take a step back, look at it objectively.

I have spent 4 years to get over it and in fact, I'm not sure if I have really got over it.

There is no definite closure until u decided to move on and find someone new.

Only then, the previous chapter is closed. Else, it'll be just lingering there to haunt you. You deserve better, must always be strong and +ve about yourself.

Take care!~

I did start a new relationship 3 years later but I was thinking of him when I was with this 2nd bf; when we went to places that I went with him before, my head was just about moments that we spent.

In the end I broke up with the 2nd bf.

gosh, that's one burden that you shouldnt be carrying all these while. it's not even a fair responsibility anymore, why waste it to someone that doesnt deserve you?

hope you're slowly moving on.

I feel the same as debbieyss. I have spent a year hypnotizing myself; but I turned out still unable to forget it. The pain still feels so raw. I tried moving on, but it never worked.

how long have you been holding onto that pain?

sooner or later, u gotta let go the burden. any expectation that you setup personally?
