Yeah, it’s not true that you won’t meet someone. It’s just hard not knowing who, when, or where that is so it feels a long way off. But in any case, it really is better that you got through this with her now rather than stringing yourself along forever.
So much this. From experience. Suffered for Damn near three years in this situation, once I cut her out of my life I was over it in a few months. The few months sucked, but better to be very sad for a few months than a little sad for a lifetime.
