    Hi Annie,

    He told you he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you. I know it’s painful, humiliating, hurtful and upsetting, but it’s the truth. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you’ll get over it, and him.

    You are feeling lonely now, so you regret breaking up with him. But you were lonely in the relationship too. So the relationship really wasn’t so great, right? Don’t settle for a mediocre relationship. You deserve better.

    Keep active, do things you love to do, go out with friends, meet new people, set new goals. It may take time but the pain will pass. He’s not the right guy for you. You’ll do fine without him. You’ll see.

    The first step is accepting what he told you.

    It’s not easy, I know.

    Dear Annie, I totally agree with Lori on this. From what i read this guy isn’t ready to be in a relationship with you so why do you want to be? Dear I know how you feel because I’ve been in similar situation and trust me it is not easy to just let go and move on but you’ve got to be strong and do it. He is not your man sis. Don’t be too hard on yourself and forgive yourself first cos that is the first step to healing your wounds. Try as much as possible to avoid him if seeing him makes you uncomfortable and if by chance you meet please avoid the temptation to talk about having him back. With time I know you will heal and get someone more matured and loving than him, although there are no perfect guys out, u deserve the best….love

    Hi Lori,

    You are right – that I need to accept what he has said. Somehow I really can’t get over the hurt and anger that has resulted from this relationship. There is almost this feeling of being abandoned although I know i’m an adult and I can’t be abandoned. It just upsets me knowing that someone knows that I am suffering and they just don’t care. Of course, not everyone cares about others. I don’t know about anything anymore. I am just struggling friend friendships and all of the people in my life. I am lonely and I have tons of friends. My happiness is short lived. I feel like I accept then I forget and I accept and forget, kind of like the title of this article.

    Hi ahliyya,

    Maybe because we were in a relationship before? Clearly things did not work well then, and I’m sure they wouldn’t have worked out long term. He resists intimacy, but there is nothing I can do about it. I still get sad thinking he will move on with someone else, maybe he has already moved on. I am still sad though, and hurt, and angry. You are right, I need to completely avoid seeing him and/or talking to him because it really makes me feel bad. I can not let go of my guilt that this was somehow my fault even though I know rationally that we were both responsible for the good and bad things that happened. I think part of this has to do with me putting him on a pedestal and thinking that I will never find someone as handsome as him.

    Hi Annie,

    I understand the hurt and anger you feel. Rejection is distressing. It almost feels like the pain is physical, doesn’t it?

    You can get through it, though.
