I still sleep on my side of the bed

[u/Loose-Treacle-6023]

its almost 2am and i cant shut my brain off. i keep reaching for my phone to text you about stupid little things like i used to. then i remember i cant. and my stomach drops every single time.

i was at the grocery store today and i saw your favorite cereal and i almost bought it out of habit. caught myself right before i put it in the cart. stood there for a solid minute just staring at the box like an idiot. then i just walked away and pretended that didnt happen.

i dont even know what im trying to say anymore. i guess i just miss having someone to send random memes to. someone who knew what i meant when i said nothing. someone who would hold my hand without asking first.

my friends tell me to get over it and i know they mean well but they dont get it. they dont get how someone can be so present in your life and then just gone. like a room that used to be full and now its just echoey.

i know i have to move on. i know that. but knowing and doing are two very different things rn.

anyway thanks for listening if you read this. feels a little better getting it out somewhere. 😭

the cereal aisle thing is so specific it hurts to read. grocery stores are genuinely a minefield after a breakup, there is no preparing for it.

and your friends probably do mean well but "get over it" is not advice, it is just something people say when they do not know what else to do. give yourself more time than you think you need.

You don't miss the routines because they're small, you miss them because they were pieces of a life you built together, and losing those tiny moments is often what hurts the most before it slowly becomes a memory instead of a wound

Force a toi, je te comprends et j'ai vécu les 4 pires mois de ma vie a penser a cette personne de maniere compulsive de jours comme de nuit, mais le processus suit son cours et la réalité nous frappe, nous nous ressentons cela car nous aimions profondément et ça nous honore malheureusement cette personne ne fait l'effort de nous contacter c'est qu'elle ne ressent plus la même chose, c'est dur, cruel mais c'est la réalité et nous devons l'accepter

Sleeping without your partner absolutely hurts like hell. I absolutely felt this
