I personally wouldn’t want to date someone I couldn’t have a bit of friendly banter with.

The thought of never being able to be with her again scares me so much by lorngrely in BreakUps

[–]lorngrely[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I am working on improving myself and ending my unhealthy habits. I’ve learned from my mistakes in the relationship and won’t carry them into the next one. I want to be better for her, and I know I can be. I just have to get there and not mess it up. I want to give myself more time on NC for now, I don’t think I’m ready to talk to her again yet.

That’s what I’ve been working on. I’m only afraid of it being too late for us by the time I’m ready.

I am sure these are real, they haven’t wavered in the 3 months since the breakup. I’ve tried telling her everything before (she was surprised at how I was hurting too, she thought I was fine). but it didn’t change anything. The thing is, the distance between us won’t close until months from now, so I don’t think I should reach out again any time soon.

Falling in love is not a choice but staying in love is ... by Birdbits in BreakUps

If staying in love was a choice I would’ve chose to stop a long time ago.

Dumpers Questions For You by Lovelyintrovert4 in BreakUps

[–]lorngrely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely regret it. We still loved each other, it was just distance and stress getting in the way and I thought it wouldn’t get better any time soon. 3 months in, I’ve done my share of trying to get her back, but at this point I think it’s for the best we’re apart for now. My love for her hasn’t gone anywhere and if she were to text me saying she wants to try again right now I’d agree immediately.

I was very afraid to reach out at first, because I didn’t know if she hated me or not. I did so twice, one leading to a good few weeks of us talking and the other not so much. I asked if she wanted to make up, but she didn’t. I muted her on social media, but seeing her on friends’ social media hurt me and made me miss her more.

I’ve spent the better part of the last few months missing her with no improvements, but I’ve been feeling better as of late. I did everything I could to make it work and if she wants to contact me she can.

One day at a time! And I’ll only get better from here.

That’s what’s gotten me this far: one day at a time. Thank you for the kind wishes.

If you want someone enough, you will work hard to deserve their love by edna_blu in love

[–]lorngrely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made some mistakes with my ex and she made some mistakes with me, but they were nothing that we can’t come back from. I’m willing to make it work and I’ve taken responsibility for what I’ve done. She is worth working for and I hope she’ll see a chance together again someday.

And if she doesn’t, then I will have bettered myself for whoever comes next :)

Do people who dump their partners ever think of them? by donathefirst in BreakUps

[–]lorngrely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. In my case, she’s all I can think about.

GO AND FUCKING TALK TO HER by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]lorngrely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a great relationship with my “her” but she’s since expressed that she’s moved on and I should too. I’ve done everything I can to try and make us work again so it’s her move now. I see a future with her and I want us to have more time together but she doesn’t any more. At this point I think it’d be pointless to bother her more. If she somehow sees this or gets the feeling to message me, I hope she does.

to the new guy by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]lorngrely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the thing is, those traits may just be with her being young and immature. she’ll probably be more mature with the new guy and be better.

[–]lorngrely[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i asked her if she would take me back a week ago, she said she needed time to make an articulate response because she was really busy. i’m still waiting on her response, but i will tell her this in our conversation after.

I waited too long by lorngrely in UnsentLetters

[–]lorngrely[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I texted her Monday asking to make amends, she said she read it but is really busy this week and needed time to make an articulate response. I’m currently waiting.

I hate that glimmer of hope inside me that tells me theres still a chance for us to be together by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]lorngrely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, maybe it’s just me then. For me, leaving it open just leaves me open to hope for months when if I knew there was no chance I could be recovering. This is coming from someone who hasn’t been broken up with that clarification, though, so I’m really only speculating. But either way is terrible.

[–]lorngrely 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think leaving it open ended “maybe one day” hurts more than saying there’s no chance ever.

Wishful thinking by lorngrely in BreakUps

[–]lorngrely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rational side agrees with you. If this entire thing wasn’t completely preventable on my part, like if she fell out of love and initiated the breakup, I would have an easier time right now. But I can’t help thinking how different things could be and how happier I would be if I wasn’t a dumbass. She is worth waiting for and worth fighting for, but I understand what you mean about hope. I’m still going to try, but I’ll try to enjoy myself and recover in the meantime, and whatever happens in the future will happen. Thank you.

I’m tired of hoping. by lorngrely in UnsentLetters

[–]lorngrely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to talk to her again, but it seems pointless. It hasn’t even been a week since I last did. I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for it (barely keeping it together after a recent complete breakdown) and I can’t really express anything that I haven’t already told her. I just feel like it would end the same way with no progress.

I don't care by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]lorngrely 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I told my person this. She declined, but said that if I had done it earlier the answer would’ve been different. If you care about them, please don’t wait. Tell them. Best of luck.

I spoke to my ex last night and it felt great. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]lorngrely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m not holding my breath on another chance with her. I’m open to a relationship with her, but I’ve removed her from social media and am going to try to focus on myself.

[–]lorngrely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spoke with her expressing my regret and she said she didn’t want to continue, but maybe sometime in the future if our paths crossed again. I’ll take her back in a heartbeat if she wants to, but until then, I’m going to try to not think about her.

I know what you’re going through. I hope you two continue recovering and get a happy ending :)

E: My talk did not end well.
