    Enjoy your trip man. Should be tons of fun.

    Glad to hear your doing better, if you can see her everyday last week and not get upset about it, I think your just about there.

    Looking forward to that someday soon :)

    Not sure what's in Europe... I guess that's why I'm going!

    I'll be backpacking with my best friend from college (feels weird saying that... ) for 2 weeks. I'll be hitting up London, Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague, Barcelona, and Madrid.

    I'll "update" my blog every now and then from different cities. I'll miss you guys as well. Ciao!

    I'll check your blog. Next to dailycoyote, it is sure to become a favorite.

    Thank you for your congrats. TPTB couldn't come up with a title (so multitalented am I), so I was a wandering expert for a while, but they finally hit on something quite satisfying. I'm hoping you will avail yourself of my expertise when you job hunt and have your first child (but not anytime soon).

    Just out of curiousity is anyone hitting Rock Werchter (Rock Werchter 2007) this summer?
    Would be cool to meet some of you guys.. Especially the normal non psychotic girls :D
    (We could actually turn these forums into a date site since most of us are single)

    I'll go first:
    Vulnerable 22 year old male just dumped.
    Seeking true love.
    Likes poetry and long walks on the beach.

    I want to thank everyone here. I have been going through a break up and it has been now 2 months, and seeing how you have eveolved with time Sneezy, it really gives me hope and has helped me a lot. Since I am overseas it is easy with NC but sometimes you do get weak and decide t odo something about it but stop... but this has been most helpful.
    Once again THX a lot people.

    No problem bud. I think it's time for an update soon. Perhaps I'll put one up sometime today.

    Keep your head up. It does get easier.

    Update:

    ... I had to count how many days it's been... and lost count. It's been a little more than 7 months. Obviously, if you've kept up with my posts for the past 7 months, you'll realize that I'll well over my ex. I've dated a few girls (nothing serious, a few dates here and there.. ).

    I remember in the past, predicting that my ex and her new boyfriend would end it at 6 months... citing a ridiculous reason (I predicted a certain reason). I just found out, that on their 6 month anniversary, they ended it for said reason.

    Of course, I couldn't care less that they broke up (really... I really don't care) but I was ecstatic to find out that I was dead on about the time and the reason. It was like winning the life lotto. It. Was. Awesome!

    For everyone that's still in their early periods of NC... keep your head up. It really does get MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Trust me.

    For everyone who wants "revenge"... don't bother. It'll only backfire. Revenge happens naturally. For example, I ran into my ex at a restaurant (my favorite restaurant... not sure why she was there). She was there with her new boyfriend... I was there... with a smoking hottie... let's just say, revenge when unplanned... is... SWEET.

    SO. Keep your head up. Don't give up.

    Hey Sneezy, I've been reading through your thread for the past 1-1.5 hrs, and its been very entertaining but besides that I'm glad to see that you've recovered so well. I'm only on day 16 of no contact and its been almost 5 weeks for the breakup... I know I've improved in that time but it's good to see that things will get much better with time. If you don't mind me asking, how did it end for them? Nice guess however it was.

    And I got a random question... do you really sneeze funny because people tell me that I do all the time...

    1. I actually started like that too.

    My ex ended things with me... right during finals week.. . I was OK with the breakup until I found out she got with a new guy within 3 days of us breaking up.. . then I was a wreck. I ended up spending 4 days in the library... where I just read people's posts about breakups and NC for hours and hours. Made things a bit better.

    2. It ended for them... exactly how I called it. The new boyfriend is actually a distant friend of mine. I knew him through some other people... he had a bad rep for being a flirt and a liar and a cheater (I know, I'm biased... but it's true. He really did have a bad rep. His cheating record is apparently 100%). My ex didn't believe this at all (MANY people, not me, have told her about his rep. she didn't believe anyone).

    Apparently, at 6 months, he cited "religious differences" and how they have no future together. That may/may not be the truth... there's actually a "rumor" circulating around though that he's been sleeping with his roomie for some time now. Regardless of whether that's true... who knows.

    Only thing that matters... I CALLED IT!

    3. The user id ISNEEZEFUNNY came to me while I was in the library... around 5am.. . I didn't want to use any of the user ids I currently use... for the sake of anonymity, when I sneezed. I was going through a rough patch, wasn't eating well, wasn't sleeping well, and certainly wasn't bathing well (I spent something like 62 hours in the library... straight). So I caught a bit of the cold. When I sneezed, my upper lip didn't cooperate with my bottom lip to make that "O" so that I can actually "ah choo"... and my sneeze, instead of being an "ah choo" became a "ah ppfftttfgbbtt".

    Hence...

    Keep your head up pwtnu4. Spend time with your family... friends... listen to music, watch movies, watch TV, read a book, go to the gym (when people first told me to go to the gym, I thought, "wth are these people talking about?"... and now I realize, it REALLY helps you relieve stress... and also, I realize I look good afterwards; makes me feel better)

    Distract yourself. And do your best to not find out what your ex is up to.

    Best.

    Thanks sneezy, I started working out a few weeks ago but then got lazy but I'm thinking of starting up again, maybe tomorrow actually... im leaving to study abroad in Prague in a month so I'm sure that will help things get much better for me and I got to do a lot in getting ready for it including reading so I've got plenty on the agenda to keep my mind off things. I'm actually finding in the past week things have gotten somewhat better for some reason :)... hope it continues!

    Cracking stuff Sneezy.

    Id say that your story has been a great help all round to a lot of people. Myself included. Keep up with the good work, and part of me is glad that the karma came round on your ex.

    She'll never find another sneezy!

    Likewise my ex will never find another JPM, and when I feel a bit down, I smile when I think of this.

    I have been through this low Self-esteem phase right now, after 2 months. Is this something you have gone through Sneezy or not? I have done much yesterday and the day before so it might be because of that. Thank god I am not in the same country as her haha. Any additional advice?
  • Aug 2, 2008, 07:28 AM
    ISneezeFunny
    low self esteem?. yeah, I'd say I was there. I remember "being a wreck"... not sleeping for about 3 days, not eating, etc. Admittedly, it was.. a low point. I remember trying to find a random person in the library at 5am just so that I wouldn't have to sit alone.

    It took me about a week to get out of that "wreck" phase... and I just started to force myself to get out of the house... go out with my friends, listen to music, read books, and mostly... the gym. That heavenly place down the street that smells like sweat. I never really worked out until I realized that.. going to the gym, REALLY helps. Relieved a lot of stress... and after about a month, I just looked better... and thus, I felt a whole lot better.

    and as far as self esteem goes, I also realized that after a month or so, I was saving up so much money by being single (I used to spoil my gfs... )... so I went out and bought some new clothes, got a haircut, etc. really helped.

    So now after 7 months if you think of her how do you react? (if she does cross your mind at all).
  • Aug 5, 2008, 08:24 AM
    ISneezeFunny
    Mmm... she'll cross my mind every now and then. If I go to a restaurant, and my date orders the same thing (appetizer, entrée, AND wine) that my ex did... or something like that.

    I... just reminisce for a quick second, go through the memories, smile a little, and move on.

    Well... here's an update.

    It's been a while, huh?

    Last night, a friend of mine needed a ride to the grocery store... so I obliged.

    I went to pick her up at her dorm (where my ex is a resident advisor), and guess who I run into? My ex and her "new" boyfriend.. . I say "new" because it's been a few months now.

    Last I heard, they broke up, but are still "together"... so yeah, I ran into them, directly. I simply nodded a "hello" and went about my business.

    I come home, and I get a text from her:

    U should be really happy that your not with me anymore. I've turned into this horrible b*tch that I can't even stand to be around.

    ... urgh? This is odd as... I have not spoken to her in about 8 months or so...

    ... and I have no idea what that even meant.

    I didn't respond, because the only response I could think of was, "ok..? thanks for...the update?"

    ... interesting.

    1. She misses you. You were best thing that ever happened to her.
    2. She wants you to miss her. It kills her to be ignored/waved away.
    3. Even though she says she wants you to be happy, in reality she doesn't want you to be happy (without her).
    4. It's all your fault that she has become a b*tch.
    5. She's hoping you will hop astride your white charger and gallop over to rescue her from herself.
    6. Her grammar needs polishing ("...that I can't even stand..." s/b "...that even I can't stand...").
    There's probably more, but I'm tired and can't think.

    Haha, thanks wondergirl.

    I automatically agree with what you said... although I feel a bit weird about all this because as I said, it's been SUCH a long time since we ended things... not to mention she still has that new guy... a bit odd.

    I absolutely agree with you on the grammar. She was such a stickler to grammar when we were together. I'm wondering what happened to this girl..

    If my ex texted me or if I ran into her, I'm just going to walk by =]

    She's already burning her parents' money by hanging out with her "new best friends" to drinking + parties... Apparently, her parents income is less than $30k/year

    Besides that, I have a girl who really likes me... she admitted she loves me~ although we have a huge age gap D:

    Sneeze better not respond! Ha ha.. she is just putting feelers out there, she does this from time to time, whether its direct contact or through a friend.

    Take it with a grain of salt, she's still clinging to her "new" guy and you have gone so far without her. Jealousy is such a big disease
