Lonely


I broke up with my ex over a year ago and still find myself thinking and wanting a relationship with him. I reached out to him and he asked me “respectfully” not to contact him by phone, email or in person. I’m angry at myself for screwing up this relationship as I have been unable to meet and connect with anyone else the same way. I’m very lonely and wonder if I’ll ever have a healthy long term relationship again. I’m 52 years old and have never been married. I’ve done several models on this subject but these thoughts of loss keep haunting me. I’ve been on several online dating sites and am not connecting with anyone. Should I just keep doing models on this subject until the desire decreases? Can you help me stop desiring my ex when he has moved on and wants nothing to do with me?
