I recently went through a break up and I'm broken hearted. I've been feeling pretty wobbly and as things are with grief, I've been tying myself in knots (bargaining) as I try to find a way in which it could've worked with him.
Well today I heard some words I needed. But not from him.
My friend came over for lunch and we exchanged Christmas presents. What I got her wasn't anything fancy, just something I thought might make her life a bit nicer. She beamed and said, "I'm so glad you came into my life."
I'd like to just pass on the sentiment to all of you. If I hadn't found FDS I doubt I'd be single right now. So while I am absolutely fucking devastated right now, I know I'm not crazy for exiting a relationship that wasn't right and I will feel so much better soon enough.
So thanks all. I'm so glad you came into my life.
I cherish my friendships. They are what helped me survive this year. I tell my friends all the time how much I value them. FDS makes it very clear to me that we must prioritize all kinds of love in our lives and feel gratitude for it. A man's love isn't everything. Hold on to all the love you find as you heal your broken heart. I am glad you have this friend by your side and that she said something so beautiful to you.
Aaw that's such a sweet thing for her to have said aloud. Goes to show that you're appreciated and loved however brokenhearted you may be.
This is so sweet 😭 I probably would have cried!
Breakups really remind us of who really matters in our lives. Sometimes it feels like romantic relationships are so fragile and conditional (and even superficial) compared to friendships. Especially in adulthood, where everyone is so absorbed in their own lives, it feels so precious to have someone just like you for your company and appreciate what you share with them.
From one holiday season post-breakup FDSer to another, sending you love and a happy Christmas💗 Some days will be harder than others, but you did the right thing!
Women need to appreciate their girl friend’s more. It seems most women are just hanging out with you in between their next boyfriend or husband when they’ll ghost you for him. And I get it, men are time consuming and many of them even purposely isolate you, but it’s your female friends who’ll be there after he’s gone. Divorce rates being as they are, it is far safer to keep up with your female friends than it is to give every bit of your time and attention to a man who’s at least 50% likely to become divorced from you.

This post is so wholesome and lovely. ❤️ I feel you. I'm going through the same thing and the holidays are extra rough. You will get through it though and those feelings will fade with time. Glad to hear you have solid friendships in your life. Merry Christmas, queen! 🎄 👑
I hope you feel better soon. Hugs.
That’s so sweet. I’m sure many people in your life love and care about you. I believe an ex is an ex for a reason. If one of you leaves each others' lives, then you were never meant to stay in it. I think it’s so great that we can find love in women friendships. I know that I love my best friend and I’m excited to give her my Christmas gifts too
Sending hugs to you. I'm glad for this community too. I wish I knew you all in person!
Don't worry you are the queen, him not so much!
Wow that's really uplifting 😊 What a great friend to have. These people keep us sane through uncertain and shaky times. I know the second-guessing and rationalizing stage all too well. I still have relapses over a year after my breakup. But they get less frequent. It helps to remind ourselves of the unchangeable reasons why it didn't work out. Do you feel comfortable sharing what that reason was for you? If you don't you can always write in on a big piece of paper and stick it to the wall 😆
The intimacy I've shared with my lady friends far outperforms any intimacy I've had with men. Period. You are lovely. Also your username is amazing, are you referencing the woman herself or the film?
