But once the marriage subject came up, he started making excuses to delay it. Eventually, the situation grew so bad that we had to call it quits. But I’m not able to concentrate on anything as every little thing reminds me of my ex. It’s like a tattoo I can’t remove. I thought of calling him today but I fought against myself as I don’t want to appear to be a weak fool. But in all honesty, I must be because I haven’t moved on yet. How should I deal with the breakup?
