Nope. It's been me, every instance.

Is there any potential for a friendship here?

Kinda
I was still definetly madly in love

I cried a bit and then cut off contact and eventually just time healed it
I was blind sided a bit so it took longer then previous breakups

Good luck, something a friend told me one time that helped me was
You’ll make new memories with better people
Also this song helped me a lot too

Time, it’s the only antidote.

I've never had to move on from a mutual love. I've had to move on from several one sided loves. It's such a unique kind of pain when you love someone comprehensively who only loves you in a specific way. For me, it's a kind of pain that never goes away. I just have to have enough other memories to go on top of it to the point where that incident, no longer causes me unbearable pain.

Depends on the reason for the break up. I found out mine didn't want the same things I did, and so I knew the relationship would go nowhere. It doesn't stop you still being in love, it's just the hurt and heartache you need to deal with and eventually you do. But it takes time.

It took me a couple of years to truly get over it.

No. One person always cares more, and for that person it’s tough

i do self destructive things and things to take care of myself too. its a roller-coaster.
