You’re soooo right; it does hurt. My last rship ended this way; after a year and a half. The Dear Jane letter also included that I was being replaced after being overlapped as though to behave thus was the most normal thing in the world. Went no contact ASAP and have remained so ever since.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Sadly in todays world of technology replacing human contact, this has become more common. Work through your grief and hurt then get back out there and play in the dating world again. There are good men out there to date. Hugs to you~

Dear Lisa,
Thank you for publishing this along with your good suggestions.
I had a similar experience. Outwardly I’ve maintained my poise but inside I feel entirely baffled and somehow rather ashamed. Do you have a few words of help, please?
Thank you,
Pat

Pat…when someone does this to you, it takes away your power. To become empowered again, you want to heal your wounds and get back out there and date. Sometimes you need help to do that from either a therapist or coach. Shame can take you down.The thing is you did nothing wrong. You might want to look at Brenee Brown’s work on Amazon. Her book is all about overcoming shame. I think it would be helpful to you. Hugs to you~
