I think I already know what the answer may be, but I really need to hear it from other people.
Short version: how do I get over an ex?
Long version:
>ex-gf of 7 years
>broke up with me twice now
>different values over things of various importance
>we were each other's first everything
>took erotic pictures and video, and used those instead of porn
>>so I've come to believe she was the epitome of sex appeal.
>even if the above weren't true, I loved her so much I didn't want anyone else anyway
>but of course she broke up with me after almost a decade and now I'm here alone with my birthday in less than a handful of days.
