You need to edit your question for typos – but yes, I am having trouble getting over the break-up of my marriage right now.

Yep. I don’t grieve and tell.

I worked through the 5 stages of grief. Yes it does need time.
1.Denial — “I feel fine.”; “This can’t be happening, not to me.”
2.Anger — “Why me? It’s not fair!”; “How can this happen to me?”; ’“Who is to blame?”
3.Bargaining — “I’ll do anything for a few more years.”; “I will give my life savings if…”
4.Depression — “I’m so sad, why bother with anything?”; “I’m going to die soon so what’s the point… What’s the point?”; “I miss my loved one, why go on?”
5.Acceptance — “It’s going to be okay.”; “I can’t fight it, I may as well prepare for it.”

Therapy helps one move through it too.

This should also be in social.

@blueiiznh That’s the 5 stages of death shame on you taking credit ;)

I have not had anything to deal with, but then again I naturally supress or forget things so how would I know?

Divorce. Took me many years to get over it.

@XOIIO Isn’t social for non-serious questions? or questions where humor is okay?

@raven860 No, social just allows for more back and forth commenting on things that don’t necessarily answer the question directly but can still be important and valuable input.

Yes I had trouble getting over my last relationship. It ended three months ago, we toyed with getting back together, he went on a previously planned 2 month trip, came back and decided to move back to the other side of the country to his parents ( :-\ ) ....he literally left this morning. We cried all night last night. We had an amazing relationship (of course now I can only remember the positive) and we still love each other as people and to lose not only your boyfriend but your very best friend that you traveled constantly with and enjoyed all the little things with, it’s really tough. According to @blueiiznh ‘s list, I’m in between steps four and five now. I know everything will be fine, but I miss him so much already I want to vomit just thinking about it.

I can’t even IMAGINE ending a marriage. I know my measly 2 year relationship doesn’t compare to many long long relationships and I’m sure it’s a whole new emotion entirely. Ah.

@deni Is right, general is for straight forward responses and whatnot. None of that newfangled tomfoolery.

@XOIIO I did not take credit for it. It is called the 5 stages of grief as I listed and as it is commonly known.

To ensure proper credit is delivered:
The Kübler-Ross model, commonly known as The Five Stages of Grief, is a theory first introduced by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying

These commonly apply to most major life aspects

I tend to have a hard time getting over relationships more than anything, especially if there’s an unpleasant ending (sudden silence or ugliness). I had the worst time healing from being cut off by my son’s father and losing two best friends. My current separation/divorce took me about 2 years to come to terms with before actually acting on it. I am embarassingly overly sensitive to rejection. Ptth!

In contrast, I deal with loss from a death much easier.
