Things ended 2 years ago but I still think about my ex everyday

We only dated for 6 months but she broke things off with me after finding another woman she was more interested in (she thought I didn't know that she met someone else btw). She was actually very rude to me towards the end of our relationship. I was sick and had to stay in the hospital for a week and she didn't visit me during my hospital stay at all. It was the first year of covid and I could only get one visitor a day. Like and idiot, I told all of my friends and family not to come to the hospital to visit me because I was saving the visit for her and she never showed. She had gotten me a dog for my birthday but when we split she gave my dog away the following day, after I had told her repeatedly that I wanted my dog. She gave him away the day after I got out of the hospital. I distanced myself from her, even though she would still call me (she only called twice). I wanted to allow her peace and happiness in her new relationship so I left her alone. Also, I wanted to give myself the space to heal so I had to completely cut off communication with her. Anyway, I may still think about her a lot because I actually loved her. She was the first personal I had genuine love for in 5 years.

I'm so sorry, this happened. Please, do not beat yourself up and keep replaying the should haves, could haves and would haves, over and over, in your mind. It's self torture, destructive and so non productive.

I know how you feel. Most of us, do.

I love, how you handled this, from the start. You wanted to offer her peace and happiness, in a new start.

Never regret being classy, doing the right thing, and taking the high road.

It's always best and gives you, a sense of healing and closure.

IMO, the 'baggage of the past', needs to be, left behind, so you can now open that door, to an even better relationship. I so hope, you understand.
