    Hey Dare 81,
    It is actually crazy here in Singapore- so many communities and religions and everyone gets along well- that is really great etc.
    Singapore is truly a cosmopolitan place and thank god they have all the british shops, and food- or else I think I would get v homesick! I think they have more british shops and food than they do in Trafford Centre! Lol.

    I'm sure there are some really good looking guys also right Zeeniee ;)?

    More than one of those would probably love to meet you!

    Hahah you guys make me grin- well yes there are many guys here in Singapore- but I am going to be single for a while- I figgered there are a few things I want to achieve before I get into a relationship again!

    I guess I am being sensible- but also I think one would need a fair bit of time before getting involved again.

    Single life it is for now- sucks!

    That's the way I feel too, after 8 years of being in a relationship I am beginning to appreciate the freedom that I have now

    Yeah I know what you mean- freedom- what is that? I think I am just starting to figger it again and in some ways is a beautiful thing and in some ways it really scares me- lik ethe other day when I was chatting with my friend about where we can go on hols - iit occurred to me that I can pretty much go anywhere in this planet- scary...
    At the same time- with what I have been through and still going thru- I am now f***ing scared of guys! Sorry to say this- but it is true...

    Well we shall see! I am sure I will be fine in time as I am not narrow minded person- not all guys will be like the ex! Some will be worse and some will be better!

    Well at least I know what kind of guy I would like to meet this time- so that's handy to know!

    What happened with your relationship- I read the post and you did not say- hope you don't mind me asking..
  • Jan 20, 2009, 04:42 AM
    Dare81

    Well basically me and my ex we broke up about 3 years ago 6 years into the relationship, I begged her to come back hung around for a whole year, she finally decided after a whole year of tagging me along that he wanted us to be in a relationship with me, found out she was with a couple of other guys while she was tagging me along. No biggie. This time around the relationship lasted for 2 years, everything was going great, we were talking about getting married, bought a ring a plane ticket to go and propose to her( she lives on the east coast I live on the west coast).She didn't know I was coming. I get a call from her a day before I was suppose to leave saying that she didn't think it was going to work and started rehashing all the old stuff I though we had already gone over. Long story short she broke up with me again. I feel like a total dumbass for trusting the same person twice.

    Hey Dare 81,
    I am truly sorry to hear this. I don't think you should feel like a total dumbass- you obviously loved and believed in her v much to give it a second go- that is what people do when they are in love. One thing I have learnt- once a person cheats on you- they will do it again- whether it was a one night stand, or a quick flirt or them just getting an extra cherry on the cake... that is what happened to me... and so take your time and heal well and keep chatting here- yeah look at the bright side- at least she does not bring her new man (if she has one) over and parks herself two minutes from your place!

    Yeah I guess you are right.A long term relationship takes a long time to get over, but NC really does make my life a lot easier. No confusion and no drama.

    That is very true- NC = no confusion, no drama, just aload of pain and sadness to deal with and there is no escape from it...

    That gets easier with time. I am almost 2 months into NC and I can tell u I feel a lot better now then I did right after the break up, I can go to sleep get up probably think about her a couple of hours a day before it was every minute of the day, so it does get better

    Hi, The ex just called. I had to pick the phone up as I got a new one and I don't have all the numbers in yet and so I did not know who it was- I knew it was not the ex because it was different number, I assume (assume wrong) that it was either my brother or dad as I recognise my mums mobile number.

    He is peeved about his decks- I was calm and I told him ann- could not find the deck lids- sorry. Then he told me one deck is new and the other is old and the needles and wire is missing. I said oh right- best to take this up with ann- as you left them with her. All I did is wrapped them up and sent them over- sorry and hung up...

    Now I know that number- I will not pick up if it rings again.

    I actually have a new number- but as I use the mobile phone for work as well, I had to issue the new number to work and activate that number in 4 weeks time to notify relevant staff- apparently this is company policy as I work across the board with UK, China and Verona. This is the best way forward as I can only see him ringing when he needs something.

    Obviously he has not learnt v much of his actions- I have a feeling he never will
