Relationships tend to change people, and when they are over the confusion and void create a lot unsettling emotions. This post if you read is clearly about getting yourself back, the other person is secondary....if even relevant at all. |
I think that is the most important thing. I read the title of this post and I got curious. I even laughed a little when I read the title. I could never understand the reasoning for a person wanting to get back with an ex. They are your ex for a reason, but if that is what you want then here goes. If you want to get back with an ex the only thing you need to do is move on. Don't sit around waiting for the phone to ring, stop dreaming that this person will realize that they made the wrong decision, start loving yourself (you should have never stopped in the first place) Realize that no one but you determines what is going to happen and decide if you are going to be happy, because when you try to get your ex back you are saying that they get to decide your happiness. I have had my fair share of relationships where I have broken up with someone and someone has broken up with me and every time a relationship ends I think to myself oh well that happens and that is what life is all about. It makes you a stronger person and you should learn a few things. And I evaluate the past relationship and take it only as a lesson. And I am going to tell you more times than none they always come sniffing back, but by that time it is too late. I don't see the person the same way anymore because I have moved on and that person is no longer good enough for me. And if I did decide to get back together with them then who's to say that it wouldn't happen again(and yes nine times out of ten the relationship ends again). So I don't go that route. When it's over it's over. And that is how anyone trying to get an ex back should feel. They are your ex for a reason and it is not your job to get them back if they truly wanted to be with you they would have not ended it in the first place. | | |  | New Member | |

Ha, if you are reading this it means you are hoping you can win a loved one back. You are desperately seeking solutions in which you already know the answers to. You want to show them how big of a mistake they made. How foolish they were. How you were the best thing that ever happened to them.
You want them back, you can | | |  | New Member | |

I think my divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me because it was never really the best thing for me in the first place, but it took me time to recover and get use to the fact that I would be a divorced single mother of two beautiful children. Years ago I wouldn't picture me at this point in my life where I am as strong as I am. But I am here, and Now I am helping others who are where I was 4 years ago. | I just joined this site tonight while looking for information regarding how to handle the two ira accounts that I have received from a recent divorce. I thought this was strictly a finacial planning/investment site. Lol
Quick synopsis: married 12 years, 2 young kids, separated last year, not a single tear shed over the lost marriage. I don't think we ever truly loved each other and remain friends.
After the divorce I met someone. He wanted a commitment, I didn't at the time. He pushed and I fell for him. HARD! I had never been treated better or felt so incredibly loved and accepted. The chemistry was amazing as well. He ended up moving to my city with his daughter to be closer. He and I had our future planned.
One day out of the blue (it seems to me) he broke up with me. I have never experienced this thing everyone calls brokenhearted, even in regards to the divorce. Until now. I am devastated. I know logically what I need to do but emotionally I just can't move on.
I wonder if a big part of my feeling so utterly broken and lonely is because I have never been alone and now I am. I completely lack self esteem and have made a few choices that were pretty immature for my age.
I don't know why I posted this, lack of sleep can make one delirious I guess. Sorry for rambling. | | |  | New Member | |

| | | I've just posted a question
Is she playing a game?
And jolie?....it scares me how much of what you said is what I did. But with me, our relationship seemed pretty solid after the first break up. I could kind of understand if she cheated on me if our relationship was stale and declining, but right up until the day she left on holiday I thought we were so in love! She certainly gave that impression. Guess that first 12 hours pretty much summed up what the relationship was....a total waste of time, money and effort. | | |  | Ultra Member | |

Men don't generally push for relationships to begin with and then to push for one with someone who just got divorced almost makes me believe something else was going on there. It sure comes off like he had something else in mind, what I don't know but it doesn't sound like it was in your best interest, whatever it was. Quote: |

The brain kept you busy with the new guy who may have done some new, different, and exciting things from what you were accustomed to but he was a temporary fix for the actual loss you were feeling. Once he was gone, the loss came back but now you've attributed it to him and not the divorce. Quote: |
Originally Posted by tootired75 I wonder if a big part of my feeling so utterly broken and lonely is because I have never been alone and now I am. | Very possible. You don't seem to have a self identity, which is very important if your going to date. It stops guys from picking up girls who have been recently divorced and planning there own future with them. I say that because if you look at the bigger picture, you seemed like you were vulerable and he took advantage of it. It's now to time to reclaim yourself without anyone in your life so you know who you are and what you will put up with for the future guys you date. Quote: |

Keeping your self esteem up is like working out, you can't do it for a week and expect lifetime results, you must practice it for a lifetime and love the results. Quote: |

So what, so has everybody, it can't be any worse then any hollywood celebrity who's on the front page of a magazine at the check out line.

Your attitude needs to be, "This relationship ended as new ones will come, but what positive things did I learn and can I take for the future." If you keep telling yourself this was a waste of time, you do not give yourself the benefit of getting something for the pain you now feel. Pain is going to happen in life, that's the reality, what you get from that pain, that is YOUR reality. Make the pain worth it and get something from it for your own good. | | |  | New Member | |
