At this point, you’ve been broken up for a while, and the anger has faded. Your memory might be a little biased as you struggle to get used to being alone, but regardless, you miss them. You start going to all the places you used to go, partially out of nostalgia, partially to convince yourself that you’re moving on and can handle it. Whether you see them out on a first date at the coffee shop where you first met or just overhear the news from a mutual friend, you find out they’ve started seeing someone new. Ouch. The person you loved and imagined a future with is starting a future with someone else.

You’re happy for them, but at the end of the day, you still wish they could have found happiness with you. It’s hard to watch someone you still love be with someone else. But some things just aren’t meant to be, and sometimes love just isn’t enough.
