Thank you so much. I'm trying to completely let go of someone who has been pulling me along on a string, wants to date other women, but doesn't want to give me up.Quote:

I know that shouldn't be my focus right now, but it is the focus of my ego.
Should I email him and tell him never contact me again, or just not answer his emails and phone calls?
Don't Awnser His Calls Or Emails He's A Using B**t**d AND DON'T EMAIL HIM OR CALL HIM AT ALL
Do you think he'll even care even I never speak to him again? Right now he's away at a dance festival that he had originally asked me to, but then lied and said there were no more tix.
When he found out I knew he lied, he got all flustured and said he wants to go away with me sometime, and see me the next day, etc. then after major questioning, he admitted he wants to date other women, but is not looking for another lover. He's there right now without me, I'm sure not even thinking about me.
He always says he would be "sad" if we weren't friends anymore and has never wanted to cut things off completely with me. Why not if he doesn't love me?
I'm sure he thinks I'll be here waiting for him when he gets back, just like usual.
Do you think he'll care and be upset if I'm not there for him at all?
It's also hard to admit that someone who I've made my life and been there for thick and thin has no feelings for me.
How can that be?
Am I that delusional?
What was all that?
His feelings aren't enough to sustain a relationship with you.Quote:

No just caught up in the middle of those growing pains, that we all go thru. Painful? Yes!! The end of the world? No far from it. You just have to learn to cope with your feelings and deal with life on it's own terms.Quote:

To tell you the truth, these posts are helping me a lot tonight. I've been wanting to leave him for so long because of his not wanting to commit, but haven't felt strong enuf to. For some reason, I feel responsible when I start sleeping with someone and find it hard to leave, and I had a major crush on him from the start.
I guess I just don't want to go through the initial loneliness and giving up. esp. when I think he doesn't care at all and doesn't feel the same way. It's humiliating.
It's hard and it sucks.. It's only been a month in my break up and I've slept with three girls,gone on several dates,been staying with friends the whole month so I don't think about things- but I still do.. I don't like being alone, I want to be with her, but I can't.
When "they" don't want us anymore we shouldn't sniff around and hope and plead, we stop talking to them but we hope that they do.. and it doesn't make sense how they could change, but they did.. and there are two things you can do. You either drain your brain with trying to find the logic behind his/her decisions. Or you say "right..something went wrong, what did I do wrong in this, what can I learn from it" - and you move on.
It shouldn't matter whether he cares or not.. its in the back of my head as well thinking "it would be great if a month later she calls me up in tears and says shes sorry and she regrets everything e.t.c".. but the raw reality of things shows that this happens to 2% of us..
--to add to this, though I love her and want to be with her I wouldn't allow myself to take her back. She's been a b*tch to me and incredibly immature during our break up.. and to be honest she doesn't deserve a second chance after the way I've been treated.
Don't bother trying to get him\her back they are not f**king worth it
They are just wasting the time we could be spending with are mr\mrs right
Forget them and move on
What if the person you broke up with IS Mr/Mrs right. Is it really better to just move on? A little hope is never a bad thing
Well, day 7 in my no contact with him. He's called once and left an email, both which I didn't respond to. Last night was hard because we take this swing dance class together, which I love, and I didn't go. I love dancing with him. We have fun. It's romantic.
I miss him. But I know that going back, it'll be the same pain, different day.
The saying, "if you love someone set them free, they'll come back if it's meant to be" , something like that.
What if they aren't, and your spinning your wheels wasting time, when you could be out there for the real Mr/Miss Right. The point is you never know what tomorrow brings, but you do know that you want to be happy, and healthy, so at least when that person shows up, they will be attracted to your positive, and not see a sad pathetic person, who is waiting for permission to be in someone's life, who has dumped them already. :eek:Quote:

Weather this is true or not I don't know but its nice to think it is true
If he was sooo bothered about you dancerwriter then he wouldn't of asked you to go to a concert then lie and tell you their was no tickets left
I think he just wants you to be his fall back when he can't get it no were else he'll come sniffing round you to see what he can get then if you won't give in he'll spin you the I love you crap so he can get what he wants then leave it a day after you give him what he wants and give you we shouldn't of done that crap
You really need to forget about him he's just giving you a load of bull s**t lines to get what he want but [how many other girls is he giving this bull to] if I was you if you didn't use any protection id get myself checked you don't know how many girls he's been sleeping with
In the end it's not what he/she say or promise, its about their actions. I have learned from my experience that thinking too much about tomorrow, and the future you loose sight of the present TODAY.. Basically the only thing we can do about tomorrow is to begin preparations TODAY. By taking it one day at a time. Sometimes we shouldn't ask 'How can I find the right woman/man for me?' We shouldn't, worry about finding the right woman/man but concentrate on becoming the right man/woman.
Thanks for the great advice... but so many people thinking of the revenge first in that case... but I think the greatest revenge is to ignore them and improve yourself..
I feel you on this one brother, you need to step back from the situation evaluate what caused the break up and move on from it. When someone says they need time to see what they want , u need to try and give them space. It is hard to just stop evrything and try and forget about it , but sometimes that's life and you have to grow with change and hope everything will be allright in the endQuote:

Hey tal, what brought you to this website and what sustains you being here? Just curious.
Love the people, and I came here with a question, and just stayed. I got hooked. Honestly those PM's thanking me for being able to help make my day.
That was so true, but its so hard letting go of someone who you love and have been with for so many years as I have.
Reading this gives me guildlines to stick to but its so hard to let go and finally move on.
We all realize how hard it is to move on, plenty of pain involved for sure, and it sucks. But you will feel much better going through the pain, and learning how to cope with your loss, than running away, and never learning your lesson. Your in the right place, with the right people, so hurt and heal, with the rest of us.
Well said. Kind of hits home for a lot of people. :)

My answer is yes. By any means.;) if the outcome is worth the battle. Go get 'em.:mad:
jolienoire,
You have given great advice and insight to how we have or are feeling after the breakup. I with flip back to this often as I continue my healing and take these word to heart. As much as I would like to have hope that there is the possibility of reconciliation, I have to believe and expect that it won't happen. Maybe one day, I won't want to anyway.
She left me, now I have to leave her.
Thank you.

Good for you and thanks for sharing that.
U said everything I needed to hear! Now I have a lot to do in my lonliness and thank the man who has hurt me for he gave me the chance to get my 'lost' self.Thank you!
Glad that I can help and sorry for the delay in response I was on vacation, We all have been heartbroken but it's a break up not a break down... these feelings will fade.. and you will look back and be thankful that they happened it's the only way we will ever learn..
Yea, my girlfriend broke up with me 1 month ago and started dating another guy two days later. I realized the kind of person that she is and it helped me a lot. Now, I'm just focusing on myself and wanting what's best for me. If I can better myself and learn from my mistakes, women will want to be with me instead of me wanting to look around.
As somebody said before, if you love yourself, others will love you. Plus if you are really meant to be with your ex, it will happen. Why bother controlling fate/destiny if it's not in your hands?
All you can do is live your life and enjoy every moment as if it could be your last. Life is too short to think about the past and hold onto something that may not be there.

Well,
I have reread this post several times and come to one solid conclusion...
If you are trying to get someone back, don't bother. The result is usually the same as before and you will go through it all over again.
Is he/she worth it?
Think about that for a minute. What is it that you really miss? Do you miss the relationship? The comfort of companionship? Or how about the reasons that it ended?
Relationships end because one or both parties have given up on it. That being the case, instead of trying to get them back, get yourself back so that you find someone who won't give up on the work that the both of you have put in.
"Transition is not because
Something is wrong.
Transition is because
Something is over."
Sometimes people grieve over an ended relationship beating themselves up emotionally and mentally over what they did wrong. They assume if they can figure that out, then they can fix it. I think the quote above is helpful if that is what one is going through in their mind.
Very nice post.
I agree totally with you jolienoire.
- To get something back you have to let it go first
- Is it worth to keep wanting the ex back ? If yes go for it with a plan
- Remember and re-discover things you liked and didn't do for decades
- become the admired person again you where when you start dating (your ex)
- go out, enjoy life and date again, even if you want to get back with your ex
- people love to get what they can't have or what is difficult to get, so don't run right away back to your ex if he/she call, let him desire you and wish you back.
You have to LOVE yourself in first place, before you can love anybody else.
G.
And if I can add just one thing I have learned:
"You can only love others to the degree you love yourself"
If you are involved with someone and they just always seem to come up a little short of what you need emotionally, it doesn't always mean that they don't love you, they probably love you as much as is within them to love anyone. But even so, if they don't meet your emotional needs, it is probably a good thing that one of you ended the relationship.
Sometimes we feel we have messed up something when it is actually just that the other person at a young age, was not given what they needed and therefore didn't learn to love to any great depth. Just realizing this, helps somewhat to see it could not work, no matter how much you work at it. Sort of gives you a release from feeling YOU can fix it. It just isn't always fixable through no one's intentional fault.
Thank you so much Jolienoire... absolutely beautiful. The tricky part for me, at 39 years old, is trying to love myself... I never have... too much insecurity. But what you wrote is lovely :)
