I've been doing a lot of thinking today about missing people. I haven't seen my college roommates in about a month and my one of my life long best friends in almost six months. At first not seeing them was really hard, and I missed them a lot. But, eventually it was something I got used to. I have been wondering about how this works in romantic relationships.
It has been almost five months since Max and I broke up. Five months since I heard his voice and five months since I hugged him for the last time. Despite how far I have come emotionally, I still miss him every day. Even though the pain has slowly started to subside, missing him is still something I have to cope with. I have been wondering, is the day going to come when I stop missing him so much? Will I get used to it? Will it get easier? I like to think that the answer to this is yes.
I often think back to my relationship with Sam to compare my feelings and what I am going through. There was a time I missed Sam everyday, and eventually I no longer felt that pain each day. But, I believe that I still miss him on some level, just because he was so important to me. I have said before that I loved Sam very much, but my relationship with Max was much stronger. This is what makes me nervous about missing Max. I got used to missing Sam; it became natural over time. But, since I had much deeper feelings for Max, how long will it take to get there?
This is when everything I have discussed about being positive comes into play. If I sat around and just asked myself when it was going to get easier, I would drive myself crazy. I have to remember to keep my head up, stay distracted, and keep busy. This is what I have been doing and it has helped. It helped me in the past with Sam. Doing these things will help get you to a point where you do not miss your ex each day. It will get easier. Of course, you will still have moments when you think back on your time together, but eventually it will bring more feelings of nostalgia than sadness. So I believe that the answer to the above question is yes. The day will come when you stop missing someone so much. It just takes a little work and time to get there. I will keep you update on my journey, and I hope you all keep me updated on yours as well. Until next time!
