Should I continue learning C++?

I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit, but I just needed to put this somewhere. My ex (M20) and I (F20) broke up about 2 weeks ago. Before our breakup, he was teaching me C++, his favourite language. I also code, but only in Python, so C++ felt pretty different to me and I was still at a very beginner stage. The thing is, I still want to keep learning it on my own, as I find it pretty interesting. But now, every time I try to write C++, I immediately think of him and end up feeling weirdly emotionally loaded for no particular reason. It feels a bit ridiculous because it’s literally just C++. At this point I'm not sure if I should keep going with C++ or just pick up another language.
