4. Focus on yourself
Dedicate that time and energy you used to invest in him to yourself. Do things that fulfill you, learn, travel, surround yourself with people who inspire you.
5. Accept that letting go is also self-love
Sometimes the best way to love is to let go. Not to punish the other, but to free yourself from the place where you’re not valued.
Tips for healing and moving forward
- Don’t punish yourself for loving. Giving love is never a mistake. The mistake is staying where it isn’t received.
- Surround yourself with support. Talk to friends, family, or even a therapist. Don’t face what hurts you alone.
- Make this experience a lesson. It’s not about becoming cold, but about becoming wiser. Learn to recognize the signs before you give your heart away again.
- Remember: self-love isn’t pride, it’s survival. Loving yourself is the foundation of any healthy relationship.
