How long

How long until this pain goes away? I can't handle it anymore, it is killing me. It has been nearly two years now and it still hurts like it was yesterday. Was with my partner for 10 years. Was the only place I have ever felt safe in my life when I was with him.

Oh my heart goes out to you @Hatemylife84.. this sounds so tough for you,To have been with your partner for 10 years and to feel safe with him would have been so comforting and supportive for you. And I can understand how the loss of this significant relationship is affecting your life now. When we suffer a loss like this we grieve, and I'm wondering how you are doing with the grieving. Maybe someone alongside you to support you through this would be helpful.. a therapist, a listener..... we care for you.

A broken heart heals very slowly. I'm sorry your heart is still hurting after 2 years. I wish there was an easier way to make the pain stop but the only thing that ever seems to really work is time. And everyone is different so there's really no way to know when the pain will stop. For me, the emptiness of not being with the woman I love has left me trying to fill that void with friends, family, new experiences, new people. But there's always a moment when I'm not moving forward, when I'm just still, and that's when the loneliness and the heartache catch up to me. I don't know if you'll ever be able to outrun the memories of a happy relationship, but I'm still trying.
