Struggling with Letting Go of My Favorite Person

Alike wisdom is right; there's no one-size-fits-all piece of advice that will work for everyone. For me personally, cutting people out cold turkey has always been what's worked best for me in the end... as terrible as it sounds. I guess for myself, that's where the ol' "black and white thinking" actually comes in handy. Maybe some people will think it sounds cruel, but whenever I've realized that someone has done wrong by me and is now drifting away, I immediately put them in the "Fine, don't talk to me then" category. And at that point, I can move on without always being pulled back in by some sort of false hope. That all sounds pretty harsh and pretty scary; like I said, that's just me! And obviously those extremes aren't really something you can jump to on a whim, like an on or off switch. What may help you in the end may be something entirely different than what's helped me. But I figured I'd at least offer up my experiences as a sort of perspective. I'm very sorry you're going through these motions with your ex. I know how gut-wrenching it can be. Whatever it is that helps you feel better in the end, which you Will feel better in the end, I hope it finds you soon <3
