People love to make assumptions, but for some reason, women often get hit the hardest, especially when it comes to relationships. Society's quick to label women as the ones who just can’t move on from their exes, as if we're stuck in the past or too emotional to let go.
This is the case for content creator Crisha Uy, who was in a relationship with Joem Bascon for eight years. They've separated many years now, but the influencer is still on the receiving end of these same judgments and assumptions. Having had enough, Crisha decided to set the record straight with some much-needed real talk to address these lingering misconceptions.
"Lagi iniisip ng mga tao di naka get over sa ex.. hindi lahat umiikot sa ex," Crisha posted in her Threads.
"Pwedeng may pamilya ka lang na may sakit at nasa ICU," she lamented.

Her post was met with support, echoing the sentiment that it shouldn’t always be this way. They emphasized that there are countless other aspects of life that deserve attention and focus, rather than dwelling on a person from whom you've already parted ways.
Crisha Uy Speaks Up About Being Single And Rediscovering Herself
Ending a relationship doesn’t have to mean the end of the world. There’s so much you can rediscover about yourself, and that journey can be just as fulfilling as the time spent in a relationship. Whether the relationship was long-term or short-term, it’s okay to grieve the loss. However, it’s essential to use that grief as motivation for personal growth, much like Crisha Uy did.
In an interview with Philstar, Crisha opened up about her struggles with letting go of her long-term relationship. She revealed that embracing this new season of her life and rediscovering herself was the best decision she ever made.
"I feel better. Ngayon ko lang na-embrace yung single life dahil ilang years din ako in a relationship. Marami akong na-discover sa sarili ko na kaya ko palang mag-desisyon mag-isa," Crisha stated.
"Siyempre nong umpisa naiyak ka, ganyan, nag-pray, go with family and friends at share mo yung feelings mo para mawala tapos habang tumatagal nakalimutan ko na. Alam mo 'yung parang kwento na lang siya. Next chapter na kasi e so parang anong next. I feel good kasi may freedom yung feeling talaga," she added.
Crisha also took the opportunity to share some heartfelt advice with those who might be going through a similar situation. She emphasized that it’s normal to feel lost or heartbroken after a significant relationship ends, but letting go is always the best thing to do especially if it is no longer healthy.
"I-enjoy mo lang yung life. Naisip ko din na siguro hindi mo na patagalin kung nakikita mo na na hindi kayo para sa isa’t isa, wag mo nang patagalin. You can live alone naman. You have to listen to your intuition," she said.
