How does a gay man recover from breaking up after 9 years?
I broke up with my bf of 9 years today. How does one recover from it?
Eat ice cream, watch sad movies, be depressed for an unknown amount of time and someday it ends up ok. just remember that the things that happend when you were ten arent the most important things, with time everything changes and feelings lessen. you’ll be ok.
Hot pack on your ass? Sorry.

Also, busying yourself around with friends, goals, new classes you could take, travelling, meeting new people. Anything to keep your mind busy.

You may not feel right now, that it is possible. But one day you will wake up and not hurt any more.
Get out and enjoy yourself… dont mope around and feel sad. The best thing to do is to try and stay busy.
Think positive… you will be alright. Things happen for a reason.

I’m so sorry. I don’t thing being gay makes it any different. You will need some time to move on and I hope you do well.

I am sorry to hear that.
But, they get over it just like a straight man—
Go out and find yourself some ‘hoes.

How does anyone recover from that! It’s gonna take some time, time heals all wounds. There really isn’t much more you can do, it will hurt for awhile then it will start to get better, but it definetly will take some time. Make sure you try not to talk to him as hard as it is, but it will make it worse.. so distant yourself and do your own thing to keep your mind off of him!

Well, hopefully you also have a career, home, friends, community, and interests. Twice in my life, once after seven years and once after 24 years I had to break up with someone because we had career opportunities or obligations to our aging parents. I know it was hard for both of us, but we did what had to be done and didn’t have the leisure of moping aorund about it.

I’m sad for you.
It will take time and you’ll go through all the grieving stages or loss, denial, anger, bargaining, acceptance ….sometimes all in the same day!
Please remember not to take it out on yourself … by not eating, overeating or cacooning. Be honest in dealing with your emotions and don’t climb under the comfort blanket of drink or drugs. Try and get regular exercise.
It’ll probably be a good few months before you’ll begin to feel emotionally stable again. Avoid the temptation to make contact with him. If he contacts you, keep discussion to a minimum. In time you may be able to remain good friends … but it is unlikely that any communication in the next few weeks will help that to happen.
*hugs*.
Good Luck

One day at a time. Sometimes, one hour at a time. Don’t completely shut out your friends even if you need time alone. Take some time to recover and find yourself as anewly single guy before you jump into another relationship. Hang in there. Time heals all wounds, not all scars, but all wounds.

I am so sorry to hear. I would treat your feelings like some one would grieving the loss of a loved one, cause basically that is what happened, your feeling the loss of your loved one. You will hurt for a time, but after a while it will hurt less and less, next year, on this date might be difficult, but you can survive! Good Luck.
