Have you had an amicable breakup? Can you still be friends? How did you move on?
My ex and I recently decided to end our relationship because our lives are moving in different directions. We met abroad and spent a year together, and he will continue traveling while I’ll return home to California, where he is also from.
It has been the best, healthiest, most secure love I’ve ever experienced in my life. And we made the mature decision to let each other go. But how do I go about the moving on part? I feel like in terms of my career and lifestyle goals I made the right decision for myself, but my heart isn’t so sure. Am I stupid to let something good go? Or if I truly love him, is this what I’m meant to do so we don’t hold each other back? We are both in our mid-late twenties. I’ve never had a breakup that didn’t end in me disliking the person. I just want to talk to him and keep him in my life. Is this realistic?

I found it best to keep the found memories, and not to maintain contact. You learned something about how to truly love someone, and how that feels. That will help you in your next relationship. Until you let go, you won’t be able to give yourself fully to anyone else. Be grateful for the experience you had, and move on
