The Last Step in Getting Over It
Ok, so I’m in the last stages of building a bridge and getting over it. I’ve gone over 6 months without seeing my ex, with only very minimal occasional msn contact. We’re both at the point of dating other people, though we both feel like we went through the wringer with our breakup last fall. My problem now is, (and I’d LOVE some advice!) is that NOW, he finally GETS it (the reasons we broke up.. some of them include the fact that he hid and lied about his true feelings for another girl ‘friend’ that was in our lives.. well, they ended up hooking up and she left him hanging and wouldn’t leave her boyfriend of 3 yrs for him.. sweet karma, yes, but doesn’t make me feel much better to know I was right all along about them and spent 5 years thinking I was going crazy). Anyway, NOW he seems to finally get what she was all about, and all my work here is done. But that’s just it: I feel like I pained and suffered and fought for something for so long, and now the NEXT girl he dates will reap all the reward of that. I don’t want to be with him, and it took so long for me to get to where I am now (away from it all), and part of me feels pretty good (somedays!). I just can’t stop thinking about how I freaking had to suffer and sacrifice 5 years of my life for HIM to learn his lessons (I mean, I learned mine too of course). I guess this is bitterness and finally letting go. How do I get rid of it? I just want to let go and finally move on.
Many thanks.. hope you all are having a good day:)
