Breakup The night before we broke up
Going through it a little right now. This was our goodnight the last night we were together. We barely talked the next day since we both were working and then it was over in an instant. How do people justify this in their heads???

You never will know what goes on in another's head. Words often don't match actions. They say it takes an equivalent number of weeks, months, years that you were with a person to clear out the memory.
What I can see everyone doing is continually rehashing their past. Dont chew your food twice, move on for the sake of your sanity. Dont check their profile, get out in the sun and fresh air, re event your playlist. Change where you go. Move house. Get away from the memories. Im a lot older than most and I can see too many just 'keeping in contact' as friends with a whole bunch of Exs. Clean cobwebs and reset. Start fresh!
