Drifting Apart in Relationships (What to do)

It's the most painful feeling in the world when we try to hold on to something that is no longer there.

People change, circumstances do too and sometimes by trying to hold on all we'll be doing is making ourselves more and more unhappy.

I know it's the worst feeling trying to get back the person whos no longer there. Like for me when I grow apart with someone, it feels as if they've turned into a different person (because of how much they have changed)

It’s the worst feeling in the world and if you’re in a situation like this I’m sorry,

but here’s what can be done

If you haven't talk to the person about it explain how you feel and see what they say. Something might change, in my case, I tried talking, but then everything remained the same and now we're drifting away even more, but it's worth trying.

And two, time.

Sometimes all we can do is let go, as painful as it is if you've talked and it's not working if you've tried spending more time with them and the person is still pushing you away, all you can do is let it go. Sometimes they'll come back, maybe something is going on in their lives, or maybe they need a break, or maybe there is something they need to figure out. I know in that case most of us want to be with the person and help them but if you tried talking out it and they don't want us to, then it's better to let it go.

In order to not make ourselves even more miserable by chasing something that can't be attained it's better for us to let go.

As hard as it is it's the truth. Sometimes they will come back, and sometimes they won't, I had to do that with my friend who I was growing apart with, we stopped talking for a few months and I got tired of always being the one to reach out. It's better to move on and find new happiness and new friends than be constantly unhappy chasing something that is no longer there. But everything is alright now, at the end you realize who your real friends are.
