I think she's always done that, considering it was like 3 months before she admitted that she had feelings for this guy.
My family were amazed I didn't pummel the shit out of him and see him off, dunno I was a, i'm not happy if you are kinda guy. She was happy the way things were and for a time so was I, then I realised that it wasn't right and it all came to a head. Took a massive over-dose for me to see the light though...


Good god! very drastic and very sad Aradon. But! you know, i to have been on that rollercoaster of emotions and i understand the total disspair that you can feel. It takes a long, long time to come to terms with the loss especially when your feelings are still very strong. It does take a long time to get over! and maybe you never will ? I know! i am still in the middle of those dam emotions. I understand totally where you are coming from and i know its no consolation, but! there are others out there who share your feelings and do understand.

Thanks trace and yeah, my head is still a mess and my heart is still so sore, i miss her horribly and it's just killing me. I have panic attacks and that's never happened to me, just thinking about the future without her and I throw up i spent a night screaming why into my pillow and i'm so exhausted from all the crying. People say I will get better but she is my soulmate, i'm obviously not hers but my feelings wont go away...

edit: I guess i was a swan in past life, only one partner for me (killing my future chances here i know LOL)

I know!, and you feel you have no purpose in life anymore! I was with my ex for 24yrs... i still have, almost daily contact with him becuase of the children. My tears are now silent and go unheard. If i have a pound for every time someone says to me,
IT WILL GET BETTER! i could have retired by now! The trouble is most people do not really understand or know the circustances of why you find it difficult to move on.

Indeed, i've adopted this quote.

"Do not rely on others to love you, you'll only get hurt eventually, instead learn to love your self and be happy forever"

That's my own btw Razz

It kinda sums up where i've been going wrong all my life, I have always looked for love/affection etc etc from third parties, time to look for it from within...

Agreed! but to love your self and even like yourself i think is part of finding confidence within. Having some selfworth and regaining some self respect are all of which i think play a huge part in the recovery process.

Why not? I'm with my x very, very good friends. Maybe because nothing really happen between us we just stop being happy together. After when we split up we were still shagging but a few moths later it changed. But for sure I could not get very drunk with her it would finish in bed I guess.

hi..after reading through this thread, may i say how saddened i was to hear about all the shit and feelings you are going through..think there will be many who can relate to what your feeling and saying..
Learning to love oneself...yes very important and yes very, very hard ..
had to do the same process myself..and still doing i suppose..BUT also would say..in order to love oneself, first you must 'accept' yourself...you are you..are you happy with you? if not, why not? can i change it? once you are happy about what you are about, then you can start to love you..

Well written and said just would like to say before others can love you you must love yourself. I don't mean look in the mirror its inside yourself. maybe not articulite enough but i hope you will understand what i mean! Smile

hi back to the main subject.

after splitting up with my girlfreind after 3 years we have fallen out pretty bad, i find it hard to be freinds because every time i see her i want her back etc etc sadly we have to avoid eachother and go in different pubs clubs.

Really does suck but its for the best i think, down the line when we are both fully over it mayb we could find it easier to become freinds. she was my first real love but i messed the relationship up even though i loved her so much i made the same mistake a few times (not cheating i wud never do that) so i say to myself was i in love or not? was it becoz i was used to having her about all the time?? etc the first year with her was amazing then it started to get worse and it was all my fault and now i feel bad because i lost something truly amazing down to my stupidity and didnt realize it untill its over how much i really cared for her and love her, its been a few months now and i feel a bit better now ,hope theres more girls like that to come the next one i will hold on to with everything i got.

sorry for the sob story lol
