Hang in there Man!

Postby Quik_808 on Tue Jan 11, 2005 8:51 pm

GQ,

Hawaii

Just read your post and hang in there man. Like I said, the best thing I did was not to hope and keep myself busy. That is the HARDEST thing to do because I know your break is fresh. You are probably going to feel like s@$t for a couple of weeks. At this point, you are probably at the lowest you will feel. All there is to go from there is UP! I read your posts and it seems you guys always "break up to make up". I don't know how serious yall are but it depends on that circumstance on how you should handle the situation. I don't know the circumstance but as for me, I always like to be in the "drivers seat". This means that I always want to be the strong one and keep my pride. This may be different for many individuals and alot of times, pride needs to be put aside. But in my situation though, I needed to be the stronger one. This meant as much as I wanted to call her, or go sit in my car outside her house or call her friends to see where she was, I DIDN'T! As hard as it is, you need to do that if you know its over and want to move on faster. Let her call you or want you back. When she notices that she doesn't have your attention anymore, either one of two things should happen. One, she will not call you at all and move on with her life. This will be hard but at least you don't have contact with her and know shes sleeping with someone else, or staying at his house or riding in his car. You won't know this because your not calling her or her friends right! Two, she will realize that she really wants you and she will pursue YOU! That is probably the best option because you have an option. You are in the drivers seat at this point because you can either stay single (and continue to not talk to her and move on) or try again with her. I think that is the best way to handle the situation. You can use this advise if you want but hope it helps. Again, hang in there man!

I knew it...I live in Hawaii myself...Im from kapolei...

Well everything you said is very true...We had a really serious relationship...I used to be the one who always start the fight until i saw her holding hands with that guy...After that,i put my pride away and treated her really well.Everytime we fight I was the one saying sorry even though sometimes its not my fault...

About the not calling her part...Im really amazed on everything you said...Thats exactly what ive been doing,though its as hard as hell...Damn it hurts so bad...And i also thought about the same exact options that you posted...The problem is what if she dont want my attention anymore and actually moved on and see other people...Well im pretty sure that she's seeing someone but i dont really like thinking about it...I just cant believe that i cant be with her and there's nothing i can do about it...

Well firstly, I'm glad there are other guys out there that feel the same as me and have the same thoughts as me!
I broke up with my gf over christmas and new year and its still hurting me daily. I try and i try to get over it but i she just keeps coming back in my head. When we first met my gf was in a bad state due to an illness which made her unable to walk, she was overweight and she felt unattractive. I loved her tho and we got together 2 days after her birthday, I cared for her alot and eventually she got over her illness but not so long after that she found out her sister was getting beaten up by her fiance so that was quite a tough time for her and then after that her parents split up again a tough time. She kept telling me i was her hero and no other man wudda stayed thru all this S***. The 2 years saw alot happen, as i said and she lost weight and blossomed into an attractive outgoing girl. We were both our first real loves and lovers. We shared many great times but we did have our arguements...
Just b4 christmas she told me she wanted a break eventually saying that being friends wud be the best thing to do and we'll just see what the future brings. So we broke up and i went to collect my things from her house we shared our last kiss and i told her everything my heart cud tell her. The friendship didnt workout and eventually i found out she was seeing a guy from her college two weeks after we split. I contacted her to be told to leave her alone or to she wud contact the police because she hasnt loved me for months now. I also found out she drinks heavily and partys constantly as well. I was starting to feel better tho lately but then i saw her with the new guy and i practically crashed to the ground again.

I want and desperately need to get over her but i can't seem too, she was a big part of my life. I've tried plenty of things to help me but it just doesnt seem to work. I feel i have just been tossed to the side now that her life has gotten back to normal after all her back times. I was gud for her then but now she knows she can get sum1 better *looks wise* My confidence has gone and i just dont see another girl being with me. If ne1 has any advice im on pete_hughes@hotmail.co.uk thanks and sorry for boring youse all!!

hey man im real sorry to hear about you and your ex. the same thing happened to me my ex dumped me back in july 2004. when i called her up 4 months later she says shes seeing another guy and she lost all the love for me. im just like you man i still love her alot and i cant get over her. everytime i think of her i always picture her and the guy doing the things we use to do. Man it really hurts it hurts alot. i hope you can get over her and move on because lingering in the past will get you nowhere. We both have to fight it, i have and its working little by little. God bless to you and everyone.

First time here

Postby regret on Sun Jan 23, 2005 7:56 am

Hello everybody. I made it a new years resolution that I would no longer think about my ex girlfriend.... Well, that hasn't happened. To give you all a quick background, I a currently a 30 year old medical student. I had an extensive dating history (literally ~1,000 + women; and no, I am not a slut or a male lady), once upon a time. but all that changed a little over 3 years ago. I went on a blind date and it lasted almost 2 years. This woman is the only women that I have EVER met that quite literally took my breath away. I thought it was going to be another bad blind date, I had no idea that she was going to be so breath takingly beautiful. Every thing about was beautiful. She is the kindest, sweetest, most loving person I have ever known. She is also very tall ~5'10", which is great for me since I am 6'4", 230lbs.
Anyway, even though I have a vast dating history, it is all a faded, distant memory. Once I met her, none of that mattered. I didn't realize it, but I never knew what love was until I met her.
We have been boken up for over a year now. We still chat via email, but its not the same. I wish with all my heart and soul that she would give me second chance...but she won't. She moved on. I am trying too, but it is so hard. I feel that there is still hope. I know I am only fooling myself, but still, I hope. The reason that I am reluctant to "move on" is because if I do, then that's it. There is no longer hope. I know I sound like a loser because it is over and I won't accept it. I suppose the thing that bothers me the most is the fact that I screwed up, and I want to prove to her beyond the shadow of a doubt that I have changed. I made the greatest mistake anyone can make while dating. No, I didn't cheat on her (I never have cheated, nor will I ever) but I did something which is much worse (IMHO). I took her for granite. I was so busy working on my reasearch and trying to get into medical school, that she got neglected. I wasn't there for her. I am now a first year medical student, but who F****** cares? I don't. All of the sacrifices I had to make just to get here doesn't matter. becomming a doctor is irrelevant without her.
I have tried and tried to get a second chance but to no avail. So I live my life knowing that God sent me an angel, with the only requirement was for me to love her with all my heart and to make her happy. I got part of it right, but I failed on the happy aspect. Now I am fearful that God will not allow true love to happen twice....but at least I was truly loved by her; she is the love of my life.

Mickmick, this may be pot calling the kettle black but trying to keep in contact with your ex is the worst thing you could do. I tried to and it just keep making me get hurt, its been over 2 weeks since we last spoke so im pretty proud of myself for steering myself away from the odd txt or email or call. I still hurt alot but im slowly getting there...S-L-O-W-L-Y!!
i heard this past week that she changed her work hours slightly so that we wudnt bump into each other cus she doesnt want to see me (we work together!) Am i just trying to kid myself or is she mayb feeling guilty? I bumped into her sister and neice today and that kid sure has grown up...i miss spending time with the neice...
I'll get there, and so will every1 else on here. Trust me i have bad days but i know theres sum1 else out there 4 me...theres sum1 4 every1. My heart still bleeds though....

how to get her back

Postby keak on Tue Jan 25, 2005 6:47 am

i broke up with my x gf,about a month ago we went out for about a year and a half almost two. i broke up with her over this drama we had and i over reacted, we didnt talk to each other for about a month and just started talking again about 2 weeks ago. but she has a new bf, and during that month without talking i realized what have i done, and wanted her back, because during our relationship she loved me a lot and i seemed to take her for granted and not care but i started caring after she was gone. she wants to be friends right now and its hard to because i have strong feelings for her, and when we talk , she talks about her new bf and her probelms but she tells me she loves me, and she wants to be with me oneday, but she recently told me that her new realtionship is starting to get serious which im affraid of because what if i loose her forever!! i dont wanna move on because i know shes the love of my life. i need some advice so if anyone has any any advice for me plz tell me thankyou

Keak...This isn't really advice, just merely my point of view and my experiences, hope it may be a little useful.
Well to be abit corny nobody ever knows what the got till its gone, but its true...no one ever realises it in any situation. When my ex first wanted to go out, i wanted nothing to do with her...she started liking this other guy, it made me jealous and it made me realise i missed talking to her and having her 'chase me' in a sense...now that this relationship is over I realise once more how much I had lost, I did take her for granted..it was a false sense of security then BAM it hit me without me even realising...communication is always the key in a rship....
For your point in not wanting to move on...I'm really sorry but it has to be done...I didn't want it to happen...nobody wants to move on to begin with, hell I'm still get used to the fact myself! But yeh you gotta move on, she obviously have...and don't let her bullshit you into thinking 'I may have a chance in a coupla years' my ex said the same thing, she told me she never knew what may happen...women like this idea of always having a guy to 'fall back' on..dont let this happen!! Besides, people change...my ex changed dramatically she prolly wont even think S*** about me if this new guy breaks up with her you know? So your ex may be the same...
I know im just prolly speaking a heap of garbage but i hope you get the idea somewhere between the lines...My ex was the so called love of my life too....

my situation

Postby hamper19 on Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:40 am

its nice to see others are feeling the way you are and youre not alone. My situation has some twists.

My ex and I have been together for 2 yrs, and we broke up about 6 months ago. I was the one that broke up b/c i was confused about lots of things. She met some guy 2 months later and dated them for about a month, this hurt but i thought i was over it. We have kept in touch since then, pretty much everyday. She became friends with my sister, and my sisters friends and they hang out pretty often. I recently went out with all of them, and saw her talking to guys and the one guy she said she might be interested. That night seemed really good for us, she was hugging me, seemed like she had feelings. I realized that night that I am still in love with her and want her back. When she hugged me the two times it just felt right. Like it was meant to be. I told her all this and she said her feelings arent the same, and that she loves me but only as a friend.

We talk everyday, during work on instant messenger. Its becoming increasingly difficult, as each day i hope she tells me she changed her mind and is willing to give us another shot. I know its probably the best to just not talk to her at all. but i can't seem to get myself to do that.
Furthermore, she is friends with my sister and her friends, so i hear about her all the time, nothing bad, but just constant reminders. I even see her at my house when they are getting ready to go out. I am 25, she is 23, and hopefully i will be moving soon.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do? I really want her back. Her friends and my sister all think she is putting up a front and really does have feelings for her. She also always reminds me how I hurt her, and that I have no idea how in love she was with me.

its killing me

You don't want to move on, no one ever wants to move on, but around 9 times outta 10 its the best case to let her go. Just recently I've finally came to terms with that fact and the healing process has begun after all the hurting and then the hating that I had inside. As any1 who has read my replies will have seen it hasn't been easy going!! Infact just today my ex finally started coming into work at the right time - the time which means she bumps into me...it was awkward but we had a little chat going and i must admit i feel like a weight is off my shoulders. Its the first time we've met since breaking up and it was the first time I've ever had this girl in the room and not had my heart skip...it was a strange experience!
I'm getting there though, you will be able to get past this someday so you will get there too....

Finding new love...

All I can suggest to anyone is to take time and keep your hopes up! It may not seem true, but there's definitely someone better... like, someone who won't break up with you! :-)

Don't you just hate it when parents bring it upon themselves to get involved?? My ex's father was a great buddy to me and I felt a bond between us and though it would grow esp if he were to ever be my father-in-law. But when my ex and I were arguing on the fone he came on and said I think this conversation should end now or I may say something ill regret.
Again a few weeks later, the day she told me she was with this other guy her dad txted me and said he was sorry for all that had happened but i should cut off all contact with his daughter, leave her alone or he would get the police involved! Isn't it funny how the gud things a guy like me did for the family got thrown out the window?!? If only I'd known sooner I wudda just let them rot in their house instead of helpin them re-decorate!! Such is life!!!!
