Hi everyone, I hope you don’t mind me jumping into the conversation at this stage, but your experiences and feelings are absolutely what I feel right now and sadly it isn’t the first time. Over the last 10 years I’ve been in the same situations – break ups – 4 times, including most recently a few weeks ago. The fact its happened 4 times is embarrassing and I am ashamed to say that in ‘public’.  Each was equally as devastating but somehow I’ve got through. Not saying the journey has got easier as each time it has happened the trauma from the previous has been brought up and hurts twice as much. It feels like someone has taken your body and crushed the life out of you.  Slowly that crush lessens. sorry to not be positive but I just wanted to say I hear you and feel for you.
