Breakup from my boyfriend and his family

My long distance boyfriend and I broke up almost 4 months ago. I’ve really been struggling with it. We were together for almost 2 years. I thought I was going to marry him someday and I was close with his family, especially his parents. I’ve been trying to get him and his family out of my mind and my life but they always seem to make their way back in somehow. I got a text from his mom the other day saying “hey, I hope you’re doing well. I miss you.” It completely through off my day. Why did she contact me now? What provoked it? What was her motive? I have so much guilt and regret over the breakup. I just want things to go back to the way they were before.

@peacesigngrl3 sorry to hear that it happened a lot of long-distance relationships don't work they tend to end quicker than a real-life relationship maybe it's best to find someone close by.

Sorry to hear about your Breakup and that you are struggling. ☹️ 2 years is a long span and honestly, Long distance relationships can be difficult. It's not easy to move on from someone with whom we have been together for 2 years and its okay to take as much time you want to heal from this Breakup. It's definitely hurtful knowing the person we always wished to marry is not with us anymore.

Your are trying your best to move on from him and the people associated with him. But it seems like they keep coming back into your life which is making the healing process difficult for you and also I know it does get difficult to move on from them.

Also, getting that text from his mom can be confusing as it can make us overthink what must be the motive behind sending that text.

I hear you saying that you want things to get back to how they were before. I am sure you know your situation the best and also the people who are associated with your ex. I hope you are able to feel better and also know that we really can't control how the other person will treat us or whether they will keep coming back into our lives or not. But we can surely control how to react and how to treat them without getting carried away with emotions.

You have full right to stay away from people who you do not wish to contact.

Know that you are trying your best and I hope you are able to heal from this Breakup!

Take care of yourself! ❤️
