After being in a long term relationship. I mean one that is over 2 years, it is difficult to move forward. It is necessary to take time for yourself and reflect on what happened in that relationship. This purpose is to reflect not blaming the other person, but taking responsibility for what you put into the union and what you may have done wrong or should have done more with that person.
Moving on can be a trying task, especially when there are not many individuals in the world willing to give them self to truly being in a relationship. Sometimes the hurt from the past succeeds our ability to move on. This is something we can control. Not allowing yourself to be happy with another is a disservice to yourself. This is giving your previous partner way too much power over your happiness. Do they really deserve to be idealized and respected? Don't you deserve to be happy and find that person who can appreciate what the other couldn't? Don't you deserve to share moments and work towards a life with someone who will not pull out on you?
The answer is yes, you do deserve these things. So, lets stop dwelling in the past and focus on the future. What you had is gone, but you will get is in store. Be positive about your flaws and your strengths, they work together to make you special and unique. If one can't accept who you are, another will. Don't forget to respect and love yourself, that is the only way another can do the same.
