Day 17
Today sucks. I had awful dreams last night. I can't decide what part of the DABDA Cycle I'm in anymore. I experience anger, then I exercise and feel decent but emotionally am depressed. I know I'm done bargaining. I gave her one phone call and a chance to redecide. After that, I've...
6 years is a long time. After reading that and knowing what I posted I felt a little insensitive. Sorry buddy. Just stay strong. It will get better. The no contact from her will be helpful!
As for me, I really have no idea what my ex is thinking during this time. I know we're both dating...
Scarcity mentality is a terrible thing to have. You need to figure out if you miss her or the idea of her. I agree that it stinks to lose a sense of family. I've never had that in a relationship until this one. I miss her dog like crazy, she was the greatest dog in the world. But you have to...
Day 16
I'm doing better with each day. I think having this forum gives me a designated grieving time. So my grieving doesn't interfere with work. The only time I can't Concentrate is when I'm at the gym.
I went to dinner with my roommate and his gf last night. We talked much more candidly...
I hear you. I'm going to read that for sure. I really don't see harm in holding on to it though. I know that my roommate will take care of it when the time comes. All I have to say is that I can't deal with it, and he'll step up and mail it, with a personal heap of poo in it. Lol. I wouldn't let...
Cold
Yeah that's some cold stuff buddy. It sounds like you're doing better. So nice to know we have each other through this.
I think I'll just hold on to it for now. Her current setup only lasts a year. It's in the basement with my tools and I'm not working on any projects. So I won't be...
Day 15
This **** sucks!
We are all victims of our own doing. I keep reflecting on the red flags and wondering why I waited around for this to happen. Great lesson, sometimes waiting for genuine is better than settling for any companion. So. I only blame myself for letting someone treat me so...
Ugh
Each day I think I'm getting better. And then a terrible pain hits me from nowhere. Tonight it's at the gym. Nobody balling up here, so I'm just shooting around. Listening to music. And of course, getting in my head. Can't bring myself to lift right now. Sitting down to recenter myself.
Day 14.3
Maybe you're right. It's possible we're not compatible. Are there any good reads on men falling for sociopaths? Lol. Maybe I'm beta and "wanted" love. I don't know. Maybe it was that I fell in love with the idea of a family and having our dogs together every day really hurt the...
Day 14.2
I hear you. I have a giant list in my phone. When I get anxious I read that. When I get angry I read a short motivational. I've got my mechanisms in place. The problem is that from a character profile were very compatible. The issue is when either of insecurities get in the way, which...
Day 14
My story is long but my hopes are high.
I dated a girl for 18 months. She is 32 and I am 30. She moved away for a fellowship program for the next year. During our relationship, there were plenty of bad times. But, regardless of that, I felt like our personalities and interests were a...
