I broke up with my partner because she was constantly neglecting me. She showed little interest in doing things together and I had enough of trying to please her. She ends up with a new guy just two weeks later.
The other person was helpful.
Less wait time.

Restatement or Paraphrasing
Trying to avoid thoughts about her, but every where on social media she is posting about her new guy. It is hard to escape the sadness.

wow. in our connected world it is hard to get away. do you want to tell me how it happened
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yeah it is. Well we have been having trouble staying closely connected since the lockdown. We tried to make time for one another, but it has been tough. I was the one who broke things off because I know longer felt much love coming from her. I felt neglected and I thought a break up was the best solution. I did not think she would pick up a new guy two weeks later. I was not prepared to deal with this kind of pain and it hurts.

It was wise of you to know your feeling towards the relationship and make a mature decision for the both of you. During this pandemic too. that must have been even harder.

Affirmation and Reassurance
Yeah it has been difficult and I know I will make it through. It is just difficult to get through break ups these days. Unless you disconnect you can't avoid the other person.

that's a good idea. Have you thought about disconnecting?
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yeah I was thinking of maybe organizing a hunting/fishing/camping trip with my buddies over winter break. That could help get me out of the digital world and would help me spend quality time with my friends.

nothing better than the outdoors wit h some friends. Fresh air can really clear the mind.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Yeah I think that is probably what I will end up doing. It will probably help the mental health of the entire friend group, but especially me right now.

perspective is found from looking at things from a distance. you maybe to close to everything right now to see the forest from the trees
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Thank you for the help and the advice. I think I will follow through and make the trip happen. Any tips on eventually getting back out in the dating game in these strange times?

Again, I think you were the mature one that ended the relationship. It is hard to see her "move on", but you will do the same. covid has changed the environments to meet people though, and all I can suggest is to be patient. The world will get back to normal. and you will too.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Thanks I appreciate that. I can spend some time focusing on my career and relationships with friends before looking for another romantic endeavor. I appreciate your help with this situation.
