A Really Special Person wrote her ex a letter when she realized that perhaps he was not as committed to the relationship as she was. She breaks down what she wrote in her letter, and shares some of the strategies she used to cope as she came to the realization that her relationship wasn’t going to turn out the way she wanted it to. She also shares her daily mantra: “pain comes from the inability to accept what is.”

Strategies

• Get out of the routine you created around this person
• Remember the parts of your ex that you actually did not love
• Don’t try to move faster than the rate of healing
