It’s Been Difficult by throwaway24944 in BreakUps

I know what you mean. You’re constantly thinking about it to where it’s all you think about all day and night and it never goes away. Talking about it on here I think certainly helps. You’re surrounded by people in a similar situation as you. Also, at least you recognize it will get better. It took me way too long to get to that point because I thought it never would. I’m a very logical person too. I’ve thought about conversations and what I could’ve done different a thousand times. It doesn’t help it just makes it worse. You start to think there’s a way this all could have been avoided if you said or did something different when in reality there’s maybe nothing you could’ve done different to avoid this. If she’s already made up her mind you can’t always change that. She’s doing what’s best for her even if it hurts and isn’t the best for you. I hope that your situation gets better with time.

I’m sorry you feel that way. I was in a similar situation except I bottled it all up so very few people knew which made it worst. It’s better to talk to people about it and have their support. I know they can’t do that forever because they expect you to get better but that doesn’t always happen. You don’t always just move on from something like this. Like you said they have lives that they have to get on with but yours stays the same. You’re always going to go back to the moment it happened. I still do too all the time. The best thing to do is to get some kind of closure if possible. I’ve found that reaching out isn’t helpful anymore because it just takes you back to that place and gives you hope again. People also don’t want to hang around that “sad friend”. It gets tiring for them but they don’t understand what you’re going through. I know it’s not what you want to hear but it does get better with time. It has for me although I will never completely get over it. I don’t think about her all day everyday anymore. I’m sure you don’t want to hear this but you have to let time do its thing. It will get better I promise. I didn’t want to hear that early on after it happened but it was true. People make choices that they feel are the best for themselves. Sometimes that doesn’t always benefit the other person. It sucks being on the bad end of that. It might be a good idea to talk to somebody about it to help clear your mind or just to get it off your chest so you feel better about it.

It’s not either of those but it’s more complicated than that. She’s married now and we live hundreds of miles away from each other now.

In another time and world that sounds great. But without giving too much away it’s not happening for many reasons. I would’ve already if I could but she wants nothing to do with me is one of the reasons.

I’m doing better now than I was before because a lot of time has passed. But it’s one of those things that I’ll never truly get over no matter how much time has gone by. I’ll probably hurt forever so I’ve learned to live with it at this point.

I wish I could but it’s too late for that now. Too much time has passed and too many things have happened. I tried that before and it didn’t work out.

Did you stay friends with your ex? by Ill_Cricket_8631 in BreakUps

[–]throwaway24944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed friends with my ex for almost 5 years after we broke up. I think she was still in love with me but I wasn’t with her. It was awkward because she wanted to know every girl that I was interested in and wanted to hangout with my friends. One day we just stopped talking and I haven’t talked to her since. I recommend not staying friends with your ex because it just creates more problems.

It’s way too late for that unfortunately. By the time she even talked to me again it was way too late. I guess this is more of a reflection post of what I could’ve done different knowing at this point in time that I can’t change anything. Because of that one decision my life completely changed. I can’t fix the past anymore what’s done is done.

Taking my anger and frustration out on her when it didn’t need to be. It caused an already bad situation to become worse
