Ah, same thing here, only shorter. It took me 2 years to fully recover. Several pivotal events had to take place before that could happen as to my recollection. First, the suffering was so great I compelled myself to help other people to take my mind out of my own troubles. Second, my father cried when he saw how thin and depressed I became. Third, I realized she does not love me at all and the only reason she was my mine was I wooed her like she’s the only woman in the world. Years after I got over her, I saw this Bruce Willis movie where he tells Matthew Perry, “You’re lucky, you are about to find out if the woman you love really loves you.” He did and she loves him. I could only chuckle. ( what a jerk ! LOL )
