December 6, 2014 at 7:51 am #381257Harley
Imena honey………….it’s QUITE clear he is stringing you along. YOU ARE………..the fallback girl.
Time…………..to get over him.
December 6, 2014 at 8:00 am #381260ImenaYes, you’re right!! It’s time to move on and get over him. It’s not worth it anymore.
December 6, 2014 at 9:54 am #381286HarleyYup…………know your self worth…keep coming here and talking and we’ll all get through it together !
December 6, 2014 at 10:26 am #381293ImenaHarley, thank you friend!Yea, it’s good to be here, even though I’m new. Yea, we talk and build each other up. Girls are so much stronger than they think and we can do it, even though there will be down days when we will cry, get drunk, complain but we’ll get back to our best self!
December 6, 2014 at 10:33 am #381296HarleyYup………..I have a LOT of good days………..then the odd bad one. I keep telling myself he wasn’t the one for me and that his behaviour was crap, that it’s my ego that was REALLY bruised and that I WILL feel ” that crazy” about someone again. I guess it all just takes time. I WISH there were ore hot guys/ones I fancy in my area………..but there ain’t ! Thank God I am NOT doing the facebook stalking. In fact I’ve managed to train my brain a lot not to think of him with regard to mutual friends/facebook, it’s just the way he sneaks in as Buttercup says.. and the nights are the killer.
I will be off here for a long time tomorrow as I will be travelling to new house and back………..but I will be in touch at some stage. I have no electricity in new house ( and NO money to get turned back on !) so over the next few months I may be off the radar a lot at weekends………….but I’ll be back !
December 6, 2014 at 10:49 am #381304ImenaYes, a lot is going there for you so you gonna be busy. It’s always nice having you here cause your advice are precious!
I know , I feel the same some days are GOOD, others just soooo bad and miserable, but different from you , I am not sure if I will feel that crazy again about someone new. I’m not really sure about it. I’m not saying I won’t, just not sure about it.
I’m young, I’m just 25, but still nothing hit me as hard as being with him.
December 6, 2014 at 10:51 am #381305ImenaA part of me wants him to text me just to get the satisfaction of ignoring him.
December 6, 2014 at 12:59 pm #381351ClaireHi Ladies!!! :)
Imena – What would you like to do with your life? Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? I’m sure in 5 yrs time you won’t be pining over this guy. You probably imagine you have the career of your choice – a fantastic man, maybe married with children on the way etc? I’m not sure how old you are so those things may be further down the line. Think about what YOU want and stop focussing on him, picture your future as vividly as you can because you’re going to get there!!!
My guy is back with his ex, it’s confirmed – I know he ran between the two of us but the facts are that he is with her. If he didn’t want to be with her, he wouldn’t be. If he wanted to be with me he would be trying to win me back, but he isn’t. He isn’t even communicating with me at all right now. It’s been month since we last spoke so I have to accept things as they are. It’s no that complicated, men aren’t that complicated – we overanalyse things as women and unfortunately – (or fortunately as we may see in time) it just is as it is. Why do we want goys who don’t want us??? We must all be flipping crazy. It’s totally bonkers when you think about it.
Harley – The house will be a great distraction. I think this is just what you need. Throw yourself into it 100%. I’m jealous, i’d love to do a place up. I did an interior design diploma a couple of years back and would love to put it to some use. Great things are round the corner for you, I can tell by your strength of character. Just keep believing it!!!
BC – Fantastic news on the new guy, all sounds great and obviously a much better catch than the other guy. I’m glad hearing from the ex didn’t set you back with the new guy. Keep moving forwards with him and enjoy your time together. He sound like a catch and totally into you! This is how it should be.
i’m still hurting, I know we all are, he’s still in my head 24/7 but we really need to try and be positive and determined about getting over them. I don’t know about you ladies, but I can’t let one stupid guy take me down and tear my life apart. No one is worth that.
December 6, 2014 at 3:30 pm #381384ImenaClair, I’m 25 years old and I have nit build a carrier yet since I just graduated. I am thinking about it and I do have a vision about my future. I still have a lit if ideas and plans of what I wanna do and how do I get there. This is important to me and I’m working toward it. I’m also following my passions like playing guitar, teaching, helping at the community, going out with friends, traveling so basically I do have a life. Of course, in five years I won’t be thinking and chasing this guy, that’s FOR SURE. I might have met someone new , maybe get married maybe not but I’ll be in that point where I would have invested in myself and dreams and having a man won’t be a necessity. Thanks for your advice! You’re right!! And I know, good things are there for all of us , at the right time. We just have to believe that!
December 6, 2014 at 9:59 pm #381428HarleyWell………..it’s near 3am and I just drove 5 hours to and back from new house with a builder mate. he told me…………….I bought great house for the money and will not take too much renovating. he advised me to renovate it to the minimum and try sell net year for a profit and buy closer to home…………..we shall see.
I thought of Frank the whole time uurgh ! But yes…………house a great distraction. Am finishing off a bottle of wine now……….had 2 glasses with my mate. I shall continue to follow Claire’s advice !
Everybody……………keep ploughing on( trying to forget them !)
December 6, 2014 at 10:13 pm #381435CarrieHarley…I’m having a hard day today…I haven’t heard from Mark in 4 days now and something about this feels permanent. I don’t know why but I do know I will not contact him.
Ugh…why is this so hard? Is it true that the best way to get over someone is to move on to someone else?
December 6, 2014 at 10:16 pm #381437HarleyHey ! SHIT weekend for me too……….and me only a one night stand. ha ha ha.
I DON’T believe in getting under someone else/dating someone else…………….NOT UNLESS it feels right. I HAVE to get over one guy first before I can go for
another……….I just KNOW when it’s right……..like Frank.If you feel this bad.. PHONE HIM!
December 6, 2014 at 10:17 pm #381438HarleyI THINK you are in danger of becoming co-dependent and being his mammy………you sound a bit like you have spoonfed him through this ordeal…………..it WAS/IS horrific for you too.
December 6, 2014 at 10:18 pm #381439HarleyIF……………you call. WHAT will you say ???????????
I put direct questions to Frank………..no wriggle room……….I got my answers………shit as they were !
December 6, 2014 at 10:34 pm #381442HarleyI’ NOT sure he can get past this event of a few months ago.. perhaps you should ask him direct IF HE CAN GET PAST IT ! OR THINKS he can,
I have one bit of advice…after a LOT of thinking ! YOU, if anyone HAS to salvage this relationship, he IS not fully capable right now.. but HE has too WANT it, even if he cannot DO it,, sometimes we all need help and a bit of “carrying”. BUT………….IF he reverts back to not being able to get over this, in days/weeks/months……………. dump his ass without a second thought, NO going back, NO looking back,
I gotta crash soon. So, if I don’t reply…………..wine and sleep took over ! I WILL be back !
December 6, 2014 at 10:35 pm #381443HarleyI have not drank in a month btw………….since Germany !
December 6, 2014 at 10:46 pm #381447Carriehahaha, I WON’T call so there is nothing to say. I am heeding all of your advice. As for being his mammy…I am actually not the overly nurturing type so I don’t have it within me even if I tried. The dynamic between us was always of partnership and I am glad neither of us is trying to push another role. My biggest fear was he might want friendship, we might slip into FWB and that is not happening. Perhaps he heard me loud and clear that I don’t want to be his friend and that I never involve my body unless a commitment and understanding is in place.
December 6, 2014 at 10:51 pm #381450HarleyYup.. you have the head screwed on right. me the same…………..no way do I wish to be friends right now……………and NO way FWB in a few mths if he contacts.
Ok………wait it out……………….see if he contacts. BUT……………me………..I would have a short list of bullet point questions I wish to ask…………… just in case he is “really stupid” lol.
December 6, 2014 at 11:22 pm #381455CarrieHarley..I’ll think of those questions if he contact me. I don’t mince words so I am confidant that I’ll get to the point in the most positive but effective way possible.
I am so glad I did not send the email I wanted to send a couple days ago. You ladies helped with that. If you were here, I’d buy you a drink:)
December 7, 2014 at 5:15 am #381475ImenaHarley, I’m glad this house thing is going well and its distracting you somehow. I went out with friends, too, last night and it looks like we both had wine last night cause me and my friends had wine too. It was fun.
By the way, he texted me yesterday when I was about to go out with friends.
December 7, 2014 at 5:22 am #381476HarleyI think I drank enough…………3/4 a bottle of red and a wee hangover this morn……….walking the dog will cure THAT.
Yep………my boss thought me to never react straight away…………..sit and think. I read a post a while ago of someone not very nice to me………think it’s the same person who makes the odd nasty comment for months here to me, so I sat and thought ” will I call her/him out on it ??” I decided “yes” ….but I’ve probably opened up a can of worms. I’m really amused at how someone sounds like they hate me. I’m REALLY glad I’m not that type of person. Life is truly so short, not to follow dreams, to not be mean to people/hold grudges, not just “enjoy” life and TRY, always TRY to make things work, because at least then you look back with no regrets and are at peace with your conscience.
A few more days shall tell if he is back.
I would think of questions that require “yes” or ” no ” answers………..not one’s he has to come back with an answer/think about.
i.e “do you want to try again with me “.. hopefully he says YES. IF he says NO…… either you walk OR ask him ” do you need more space/time??”(NOT sure I would go down this route…………as he has ALREADY max-ed his time out imo)
“can we go back to dating once or twice a week, starting this week ???”
“would you like for us to communicate better and discuss things and not argue ???”
Maybe…………..not OVERLOAD him with questions…………..NOT sure I would mention the communicating one ( perhaps bring it up in person in a few weeks of dates !!)
December 7, 2014 at 7:23 am #381482MelanieHi ladies! I’m so glad I’ve found you!
I met a guy 2 1/2 mths ago. We were set up by mutual friends. Him just coming from a recent 16 year relationship and me just months out of a year long. We hit it off from the first date, both agreeing we would just enjoy each others company and not label anything…just have fun. And that we did, i met his friends and family and he met mine. We spent most of our time together, it was amazing. Under the shadows though are his separation and Christmas being just around the corner. I knew it was going to get tough for him to have a new girl on his arm but not this tough. 8 days ago he out of left field told me he needed time to think. He was feeling overwhelmed by everything and needed to step back. He assured me it wasn’t us or me that it was the process of his seperation, Christmas coming and him not knowing how to handle it. He felt it wasn’t fair to me that he was feeling overwhelmed by his issues. So here we are 8 days in of NC from both sides. What’s your take on this? Deep down i am just telling myself to give him what he needs and if its meant to be it will. Its some hard though!!!December 7, 2014 at 7:29 am #381483HarleyIMENA>>>>WHAT DID HE TEXT ????? trying to figure out is it just a ” stringing you along text ” Hope you did not reply.. yet !
Melanie……… If you read a million threads here and articles, the consensus is “DON’T date a guy that is out of a relationship less than a year ” they take ages to process/accept a breakup and a new girl( you) runs the HIGH possibility of being the rebound girl.
ALL you can do in this case, is give him space, keep up the NC……………at SOME stage they always come back…………but VERY rarely wanting to make it work……….usually just for an ego boost.
At this stage I would consider it over and just try to move on. This guy s still figuring out what he wants in life.Xmas is a bad time…………he may well go back to her.
Not what you want to hear I know, but all the advice I can give you.
December 7, 2014 at 7:47 am #381485SarahSo i have been on NC for nearly three weeks now. We first went on a break about 1.5 months ago. He kept checking in which made things rely hard for me. It was very painful after each contact be it call or message. Luckily he had a trip coming up so i thought i’d use the time he’s away to initiate NC.
This worked the first ten days or so then he starting sending me pics of him self whilst away which was very hard to ignore. I went off whatsapp for a few days but soon as i logged back in he sent more and asked how i was keeping. This week he’s made contact three times in form of complimenting my PP.
I have deleted our pics together and blocked his number. I must say i feel so much better and lighter as time goes by. I don’t know what i expect to happen but wanted to work on my self during this NC. The first two weeks were the hardest so i allowed my self to have a pity party after which embarked on self love. I have been shocked, angry, sad, depressed and now healing. The best thing about allowing all that was to let the emotions run through and let go so i could see clearly. Its been tough but i am more than determined to have a good well deserved relationship, and that regardless of whether we get back together or i decide to move on.December 7, 2014 at 7:59 am #381486HarleyWAY to go Sarah ! Keep it up.
