how do you think your breakup has affected you for the future?

2 months out of a 4 year relationship. I am 29, this is the woman I gave my heart to, I was myself, vulnerable and showed all my emotions.

I am dealing with the breakup a lot better than I ever expected, yes I miss her and the love we once had.

I think there are parts of me that will be improved in my next relationship as I can see everything that went wrong and how we could’ve dealt with everything and saved our relationship. However mentally I just cant see myself being that vulnerable with someone again, I feel like it got taken for granted and I really don’t want to feel that way again. Basically being discarded after four years.
