| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/12/2008 5:49:19 PM | | I'm not really sure who you guys are talking to anymore. I started this thread for myself, and I don't mean to sound like a ****, but now there are other people adding their problems into it! I don't mind, but I'm not sure who's talking to who! It's very confusing with who's posting to who now!!!!!!! | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/12/2008 8:38:11 PM | Hi Lofty, If this were my situation, I would really try to get my friend to stop contacting the ex, it's a way for him to keep up with what's going on in your life and it seemed a bit much for her to email him to contact you and now you know that he chose not to. On-going drama is not healthy for you this point. I would probably stop sharing my thoughts with this friend for a while, just tell her you can't talk about him anymore, you are moving on with life. ( Just my opinion.) I would put the ring and other reminders in a box in the attic, you don't want any further contact with him. | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/13/2008 11:21:24 AM | Thanks naturegal!
I've since told her not to contact him, because I totally agree with what you said! I know she asked him to call me, and he didn't. Before I probably would have been sad/hurt about it, but now I really don't care. He's got his own life with his girlfriend, and I have mine. Things are over between us, and I no longer want a future with him. We've both made our choices, and I plan on sticking with them! As much as I will always love him and care for him, there is no more room for him in my life. I want to move on to bigger and better things, find an amazing guy who actually loves me for me, and not have to be in the same place I was before.
I'm finally feeling free and it's amazing!!! Thank you! | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/15/2008 6:29:17 PM | | So my ex had a shirt that was left over in my stuff and he didn't come and claim it, so my parents had a fire in the back yard, and I threw it in there! Damn did it ever feel good! Bye bye t-shirt! Screw with me, you're stuff gets burned! | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/15/2008 6:48:25 PM | Honestly, the best way is to cut all ties to let yourself heal. Stop seeing him and talking to him. Think of it as a skinned knee........If you leave it alone, it will heal and probably won't leave a scar. However, if you keep picking at it you're going to open it again, it won't heal as quickly and you'll probably have a bad scar. I hope that doesn't sound gross and/or elementary but it's a very good analogy. My trademark way of moving on is to delete the guy from my cell phone. I'm not good with remembering numbers so by deleting him, I'm not tempted to call or text (especially after a few too many) because I can't. If I hear from him, I may not answer because I won't recognize the number. Then if he leaves a message and I decide to call him, I've had a chance to think about what I'm going to say beforehand, rather than being caught off-guard. The best is when a guy texts me and I reply "who is this?" because I really don't know. Gives a small blow to the ego. I'm really not one to play games but it's the best way for me to cut all ties without being tempted. Good luck to you and be strong, because your "relationship" is not a healthy one and one day you'll wonder what you ever saw in him in the first place!!! | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/15/2008 9:26:29 PM | I haven't called him or text messaged him in about 4 weeks. I don't see a need to bring back all the hurt and pain again just to hear his voice. I know his numbers off by heart, but I probably always will know his numbers.
He hasn't tried contacting me at all, and even if he does I probably wont answer it. I don't want to talk to him. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/16/2008 12:51:00 AM | | wow. I'm proud of you. It didn't really take that much time at all. You are strong girl. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/16/2008 1:06:06 AM | Well what was the fight about that made you two break up. You are quick to try and make him sound like the bad guy, but you don't say what the fight was about. I'm actually pretty interested to know. And remember- lie to your family and friends- not a complete stranger.
Your friendly neighborhood spiderman | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/16/2008 2:09:30 AM | | You need to get out the house more and stop concentrating on him so much, theirs a whole world out their. Look it does not work let it go accept it you do not get along but their may be better to come but you wont find out dwelling on him all the time. | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/16/2008 4:50:08 PM | Awwwwwww jerry! My heart goes out to you man!
I know exactly how you feel. I say I hate him and I call him names, but I still think about him constantly. We've been broken up 5 months ago today, and I still miss him just as much as I did when we first broke up. I still wonder what he's doing, if he misses me.
I used to think my ex was my soul mate, and as much as I still love him, I know he wasn't right for me, that I'm better without him. People keep telling me it gets better over time, but I still hurt.
I keep getting this feeling that my ex is going to drop outta the blue and want to talk to me. I had that feeling all day at work that he'd just show up and want me back. Like he's going to call me. I don't get it. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/17/2008 3:48:22 PM | | It will pass the heartbreak but you have to aid it somewhat by just getting out so you have less time to think. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/18/2008 10:04:42 AM | | Im so sorry for your pain. It will be a year in August for me and my breakup and most times it feels like it just happened yesterday. For me its hard because Ive been sick and not working for awhile now so I sit at home and my mind races most days to where I feel like Im gonna go crazy. I pray u will have an easier time than I. U seem like u have a huge heart . (and yes this guy does sound like a jerk) mine was too. Im lucky my parents live next door to me I have a few close friends. Its important to surround yourself with people. Dont be too much of hermit that seems to be my mistake sometimes. I just want u too know u arent alone and maybe someday u and even maybe me will find someone who truley loves us for us. I prefer it to be a little earlier then maybe me in a wheelchair in the retirement home. lol sorry 45 spinster here! lol U are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless. Karen | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/18/2008 2:33:56 PM | | I understand how even though most think you putting yourself through all that crap is crazy on your part, but most don't understand how being in love and then losing it you found yourself doing everything out of character. It has been SEVERAL months since I left the only man I have ever loved and I can tell you it wasn't easy at ALL. But as noted here by others good friends and allot of self talk will get you through this. One saying I like to tell myself is: Hitting walls and getting scars makes you who you are - Take a good look at the relationship and understand how it allowed you to grow and take that with you to your next love. | |

I used to cry every night because I missed him so much, but now it only happens maybe twice a month! How do I get over him!?
That shows you ARE getting over him. Used to cry every night, now twice a month. It's apparently going to take longer than 5 months, though. I've been apart from my ex-gf for almost 8 months now, and it's still hard. I missed her so much the last few days that it's like WE just broke up. But that happens.
I had that feeling all day at work that he'd just show up and want me back. Like he's going to call me. I don't get it.
It's wishful thinking. In the back of your head, you probably felt good thinking that too, didn't you? | |

Take it from me ...It works!!!! My new guy is 25 years younger !!!!What a body !!!! | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! NEXT Posted: 6/18/2008 11:15:52 PM | Lofty, you are making tremendous progress .
I found the hardest thing to let go of is the feeling of 'being in love', and that's quite normal. I've read this thread from beginning to end, and it's apparent you have taken the many good replies, thought about them, and have made decisions to change the situation. You are preparing yourself for a future genuine, confident relationship. Like a lot of learning, it comes with work and occasionally pain, but the payoff will be worth it. I'm glad to see you objectively consider the character of this jacka$$, makes it easier to say good bye. NEVER should a true man EVER treat a woman like that. Sounds like he has the perfect mate now, one that will deliver pain in spades. Ah, that's his problem now. You're poised for something much better.
I was married to a person I absolutely & completely adored, never even considered for a second another woman during our entire dating & marriage. She told one evening she was falling for a co-worker, was like a sucker punch in the gut. Fast forward, it took me two years before I was ready to date. But, I'm thankful for that time and the many good friends & family who stuck by my side. I harbor no bitterness, toward my ex-wife , women, nor the person she chose. Looking back, he did me a favor. Now I'm more objective toward a relationship, but not jaded toward the sparkle, just in check.
Best to you  | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/18/2008 11:37:19 PM | | i think you pretty much can get over anyone. It's much easier when you meet someone new who is really good or better though. I find the lifestyle change reverting back to that sense of freedom to do as I please socially the most difficult adjustment in a breakup. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/19/2008 1:49:52 PM | I don't have any bad feelings towards him. One day we'll be able to be friends, but not now. Now I need to get myself back together from that relationship and move on. I still care about him, but I don't hate him for breaking up with me. In a way I'm glad we're not together, it just hurts knowing he's talked to mutual friends about our breakup and he says rude things about me to them.
And in a way I do want him to call me. I want him to call me and tell me he's broke up with his girlfriend and wants to get back together with me, because I want to be able to turn him down and tell him no. That I've finally moved on, and I don't ever want him back. Sure I'll always care about him, but I don't want him in my life unless maybe just friends. | |

| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/20/2008 11:32:17 AM |
My ex boyfriend and I had been together almost two years when we broke up. He had had fights before that have lead to him saying he wanted to dump me, but we always fixed things and moved on. The last fight we had when he broke up with me was the worst night of my life.
We were living together with a few of his buddies from work, and none of his friends liked me. We both worked at the same mall, so we got off at the same time that night, and then went home. Everything was fine until he decided he wanted to be a total ***hole, and he ended up screaming at me. He stomped out of our bed room and I thought he had left the house. Turns out he was downstairs, so I went to him and tried to make him feel better, all the while crying my eyes out.
Then he dropped the bomb. He told me he didn't want to be with me anymore, that he wanted to break up with me. I had heard this before, so I refused him as I always did, telling him he didn't really wanna break up with me because he loved me. He told me he did, so then we argued some more, and then I finally agreed with him. He was speechless.
He went upstairs, and I followed of course. He yelled that he wanted me to pack my shit and get out of his house. He then left the house, to go meet the other guys who had gone to 7-11 for smokes. I cried and cried in my bedroom until he came back with everyone else. Apparently he had told everyone we had broken up, and they decided it'd be funny to piss me off some more, so they turned the volume up on my tv in the living room to a point where everyone in the house could hear it. Me still being pissed off, confronted them and told them to turn it down, that I wasn't in the mood. Things escalated from there.
That night, when he came to bed, I was so ready to just push him out of the bed and make him sleep on the couch, but I figured we would get back together that night. So he slept in my bed.
The week that followed, I stayed at the house because my parents were in the Dominican until the following week, and I wasn't going to be in that house alone. So I stayed at the house, each night sleeping alone because he had started hanging out with a "friend" he had met at work. I cried myself to sleep every single night until I wanted to puke. I felt so alone in that house, no one came to see if I was ok, no one came to comfort me, I was completely alone and it was like no one cared.
After I moved out of the house I figured everything would work itself out in a month and we'd be back together. A little while later I found out he was dating that "friend" from work. I cried in my moms arms for a good hour, my heart completely broken again. It hurt so bad knowing he was with someone else.
Since then, we've hung out a few times, without his girlfriend because she hates me, and I hate her. We used to e-mail each other, talk on the phone until we were really tired, and he even once surprised me at work by just showing up.
Now all that has stopped, and he's ignoring me. He told me before he still loved me, that he wanted to give us another chance some day, but he didn't want to hurt his girlfriend by up and dumping her and then come back to me. I know it's probably for the best that we're no longer talking, but from going from seeing him every day, to not talking to him at all makes me wanna puke. I miss him so much, and I still hurt so bad after almost 5 months of being a part.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him, wonder what he's doing, wonder if he misses me. It feels like only yesterday that we broke up.
How do I move past him?! One minute I'll be ok, and the next I'm crying like it was only yesterday! I used to cry every night because I missed him so much, but now it only happens maybe twice a month! How do I get over him!?
Help!!!
I think I saw this on an episode of cops. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/20/2008 12:03:38 PM | | Been there also....anyway you just need to stop talking to him.....just stop everything to do with him.....and spend time alone.....until you have your head straight......then you will come to understand that he wasn't the one for you and then you will be able to move on. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/20/2008 12:48:42 PM | "I was hoping he'd eventually get tired of his new girlfriend, because she's controlling and a complete **** to him about stuff. He used to tell me it was easier to be with me, than it is to be with her, and yet he's still with her."
Just a thought:
He treats you like crap and you still want to be with him or "get back together" but yet she treats him like crap and you dont know why he wants to be with her?
Just takes time and healing, you have to realize you dont need to be with someone that treats you that bad, there are a lot of good guys left out there, you just have to be willing to open your heart to them! | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/20/2008 4:28:35 PM | Sturdavint, that was a wee bit harsh, wasn't it.
And I really truly don't want to be with him anymore. I did, but not now. | |
|
| Still not over my ex!!! Posted: 6/20/2008 4:46:51 PM | Hi Everyone,
First time posting something. Just want to say that our ex's dont deserve us. If they dont want us then their loss. I know its easier said then done. Im still hurting over my break up.Who wants to hear that he wants to be with one of his oldest gal mates that he's liked for twelve years. Total kick in the stomach. She can have him but the dissapointing thing is he is older ( 30) and he doesnt want to be friends or no contact which is killing me because could talk to him about anything and he was not judgemental. Will always love him because he's my first love but if he doesnt want to know then I cant help it. Am hurt but have to move on.Im only 22. Plenty more fish in the sea. | |
