Make time each day to nurture yourself. Help yourself heal by scheduling daily time for activities you find calming and soothing. Go for a walk in nature, listen to music, enjoy a hot bath, get a massage, read a favorite book, take a yoga class, or savor a warm cup of tea.
Pay attention to what you need in any given moment and speak up to express your needs. Honor what you believe to be right and best for you even though it may be different from what your ex or others want. Say "no" without guilt or angst as a way of honoring what is right for you.
Stick to a routine. A relationship breakup can disrupt almost every area of your life, amplifying feelings of stress, uncertainty, and chaos. Getting back to a regular routine can provide a comforting sense of structure and normalcy.
Take a time out. Try not to make any major decisions in the first few months after a separation or divorce, like starting a new job or moving to a new city. If you can, wait until you’re feeling less emotional so that you can make better decisions.
Avoid using alcohol, drugs, or food to cope. When you’re in the middle of a breakup, you may be tempted to do anything to relieve your feelings of pain and loneliness. But using alcohol, drugs, or food as an escape is unhealthy and destructive in the long run. It’s essential to find healthier ways of coping with painful feelings.
Explore new interests. A breakup is a beginning as well as an end. Take the opportunity to explore new interests and activities. Pursuing fun, new activities gives you a chance to enjoy life in the here-and-now, rather than dwelling on the past.

Don't be afraid to love again,and allow yourself to be loved."If you can't be with the one you love,love the one you're with". Love can make or break a heart.

Is there an age gap between you? As it sounds as though there may be, as sometimes younger partners can suddenly feel they are "missing out" on something, and then foolishly decide to see if the grass really is greener ! In my humble opinion, time will be the only real course of action, albeit a very difficult time for you unfortunately. She may well realise the error of her ways, as it has only been a few days, but in the meantime you might have to lean on a few good friends for some support . All the best.

Surround yourself with beauty and kindness. No one needs another to live...We can love many things about many people and should accept the good with the bad. Wish them happiness and move forward. You define your life.

Use a surgical needle, 14 gauge surgical thread and a lock-stitch suture. Oh, and some anesthetic if you want to be kind :)

Volunteer. Hobbies are fine, but they can get boring. Activities are fine, but sometimes you just WANT to stay home. When you volunteer, you turn the energy into something that benefits others.

Usually it's time. And you will often carry a flame no matter how small for the one that broke your heart. And then there are those that you are glad to be rid of in retrospect.
Good luck to you!Like (1)
