Bumped into the ex girlfriend last night!
Now then; a week on from being dumped. How has my week gone?
Rather well actually. I had soul searched and pretty much recognised what a person I had become, i.e. not the person I was when we met.
Not one about of crying since I left her house. There was a very quick 180 degree change in attitude on my part. Call it a kick up the arse.
I have accepted that I am very responsible for her not feeling for me anymore, and it all co-incided with a lot of bad thing shappening in my world. Fall out with family which is now finally resolved. Loss of a job, loss of a car, and a general depressing demeanour.
Well, in the last week I have secured a job. And I am awaiting other job offers which I will take if offered. It's nice to be in a position where you have options.
I am getting a new car in the next few weeks. I am back in the gym, and I am very happy with my life and how it is going.
It took a break-up to really shake me up and kick my into gear.
My friends noticed an instant improvement in my attitude, happy amiley, confident and strong. Back to the life and soul of the party. I had become the exact opposite.
So my personal life is back in order and I am really going places. I have spoken to people who know her, and rather than pine about what could have been, I have let it be known that all the above mentioned aspects of my life have improved. They know I am happy and they know I realise and take responsibility for my actions. Being moody depressive and then jealous insecure and possessive are EXACTLY what caused the change in my girlfriend's feeling for me.
My exact thinking is 'ah well you have to learn from this and move on.'
Well I am definitely learning and there is a definite real change in me.
I am not actively seeking to get her back and I am definitely not expecting it. AND EVEN IF it transpires that she want sme back, it will be careful, I will tread very carefully and let it be known that I am improved and attractive again. I do not need to say this. It has to be seen.
So, last night I went to a house party, and guess who turns up? Totally unexpected on my part. For a split second I got a very funny feeling and was awkward.
However, I was self-assured and very cool, very gregarious and was extremely happy and positive all night. Don't think she was expecting it. If anything she was cautious, arms crossed and she looked more affected than I was.
I think I did extremely well.
Also, the host of this house party (a couple) know us both well. The man was saying to me (in private) that she was extremely upset last week, and he said he doesn't think this is over for good. I said well that's nice to hear but I'm not banking on it at all, though I probably would take her back.
I have no tbeen in any contact whatsoever all week with her.
All intriguing stuff.
