Toxic relationship ends - how do I find a new man?

Anjetta is seeking guidance on how to rebuild her life after the sudden end of a decade-long relationship. A year ago, her partner ended their relationship without warning, stating, "I don't love you anymore, so we can't live together." This abrupt separation left Anjetta struggling to understand how to move forward, especially after years of navigating personal difficulties.

I don't love you anymore, so we can't live together.

Through therapy, Anjetta has begun to recognize the unhealthy dynamics within her past relationship, describing it as having a toxic pattern with narcissistic traits. Her struggles were compounded by several difficult years, including caring for a sick child, experiencing unemployment, and dealing with her own health issues. This confluence of events led to severe exhaustion, leaving her feeling lost and uncertain about her future.

Now facing an "unscheduled chance to start over," Anjetta dreams of embracing a "van life" and finding new love. However, her primary concern is how to navigate this new phase without losing her sense of self. She questions how to move on from the past and build a new life while remaining grounded.

How do I move on, without losing myself?

Responding to Anjetta's situation, a psychologist from SvD offers reassurance. The advice suggests that embracing newfound freedom does not necessarily require a grand, immediate leap. Instead, the process of moving forward can be gradual, allowing Anjetta to rediscover herself and build a new path at her own pace.
