December 17, 2014 at 6:26 am #384489Claire
I just nearly checked FB but managed to stop myself! Argh! It’s just too easy to look but I have to think of the damage it will cause if I do. My mum told me the only good thing that could come from checking his facebook would be if I hed broken both of his legs! Haha!
I’m with all you girls! Seems weird to be just cut out but I guess that’s what happens, it’s the only way both parties can heal. I’m not sure I’ll hear from him again Imena. Im pretty sure he has deleted my number in a bid to move on, so he’d have to ask his family for it or reach me through facebook, both of which would I think he’d feel too ridiculous to do. He’s made it official now with her so he’s going to have to try and make it work or he’ll look like the worlds stupidest idiot.
A lot of his friends knew he was trying to get back with me in September so god know what they think of him now being with her so soon after. Everyone knows he’s been flapping around between the two of us! It just looks totally bonkers. I still don’t get it, maybe I never will.
I sent gifts octopus family yesterday, I wonder if they’ll tell him, I’m not really bothered, they bought me gifts so if he were to say anything I’d tell him I was returning the favour. Highly doubt he’d have anything to say though.
I’m wondering how long it will be before she starts fretting about me being friends wit his mum and sister on FB. As a girl it would bother me.
Anyhoo, nothing I can do. I just can’t shake this feeling that it’s still unfinished in some way. I think it’s because of the distance and that we couldn’t end things face to face. It was a weird situation with him coming back from tour too. I do feel if she Hadnt got involved we could have worked things out but if they’re meant to be together then not much can stop that.
It’s been about 6 weeks since we talked and neat 6m since we broke up. I feel so much better but still confused by what the hell happened.
December 17, 2014 at 6:29 am #384490ClairePredictive text makes me laugh “octopus” haha!
December 17, 2014 at 6:39 am #384494HarleyStay strong Claire. fb does nothing but hurt. We can only predict ourselves so as Imena quite rightly says… why bother with time on them. They don’t deserve our thoughts.
I know you like to stay in touch with his family but I worry he will see it as desperation…for you to hold onto a part of him and he will know he can contact you at any time through them. But. …If you truly don’t care what people think or what I pointed out(I personally would not care)…then by all means stay friends with them
just….stay off the fb. come meet us all in London in March ! hopefully….We will all be healing well by then. I’m getting better. still miss him dreadfully….but know I’m worth more.
December 17, 2014 at 6:46 am #384496ImenaYep Claire, I understand. My guy is official with her,too. He has been dating her for three years so far so there is no room for me. In fact, there never was, just been lying myself.
it’s been only a week from our breakup and the wound is still there, together with a billion questions that I suppose will never get answers but yea there is no more room for us, they moved on and showed that. My guy hasn’t blocked me on social media, nor on whatsapp or viber but still there is no chance for us, it never was. I’ll get better with time, a few months will go by and my wound will heal itself.
December 17, 2014 at 6:55 am #384498SassperillaDelete his FB… delete delete delete!!
December 17, 2014 at 7:19 am #384503ClaireWell I just cracked and checked FB. He deleted me as soon as we broke up so I can only really see profile pictures. To be honest I’m not really bothered, maybe that’s because there wasn’t much to see. She now has both of them as her profile picture, he just has him and his friends. I guess Ive just accepted theyre s couple now. Really do t feel bothered in the slightest. I think what may sting a little is if there are any Xmas pics of her with the family or out with him and his friends as i think that will feel like she’s really taken my place. But she has, life moves on ce la vie.
Yes london would be lovely :)
December 17, 2014 at 7:23 am #384504ClaireThanks Harley, my friendship with the family has nothing to do with him so I don’t care what he thinks. If he doesn’t like it he’ll have to ask them to stop speaking to me. I have never initiated reaching out to them, they’ve just kept in touch with me.
December 17, 2014 at 7:29 am #384507HarleyYup. …it’s all good then
i was dated Mike blocked me on fb
..really helped me move on. perhaps this shall help you too. It’s hard seeing pic etc. that’s why I would only ever post group pics…never one of just me and a new guy as I would not like to hurt an exs feelings. …not in the first year anyway.ah sure….we’ll all be grand in time. and we’ve learned loads.
December 17, 2014 at 7:29 am #384508Harleydated…..delighted
December 17, 2014 at 7:43 am #384511ImenaClaire, stop checking FB from now on, okay?! Promise yourself you won’t and DO NOT break promises cause you gonna hurt yourself double, seeing them and that you broke the promise you gave to yourself. Maybe this will help to not check it anymore. Yrs, I guess he moved on with her just as my guy moved on with his forever gf. At least you had him for awhile, I never had him. He has always been with her and feeding my hopes with lies for ten months. I never had him, he was never mine so ky battle was a nonsense from the start.
Harley, a new date?! How did it go?
December 17, 2014 at 8:27 am #384521HarleyImena. ..no date for me… I just missed typed a word earlier. I went for a walk at lunch ch though and 2 nice looking guys hung out of van windows and said a big hello to me. so I gave a radiant smile and said a big hello back !
lots of flirting to be done.
I j
keep getting ugly fat shit men on my dating site.. huge sigh !December 17, 2014 at 8:49 am #384527buttercupFunnily enough I’m in London that weekend for my sisters 40th but we’re only there the one night and we’re going to a show so I won’t actually be available.
December 17, 2014 at 9:08 am #384535ImenaI’m sorry Harley, I missed that.
Hahaha, yea flirting happens all the time. It’s a guy here too who acts like he is really interested but he is a player, he has a gf and acts like he is single and tells me a lot of BS but nahhhh I won’t do it anymore. When he sees me on the streets he says ‘Hi’ and follows me but I am not interested AT ALL. What’s wrong with these guys?! If they are not happy in their relationships then why don’t they confront and break up?! It’s crazy!! They are such cowards.December 17, 2014 at 9:27 am #384545HarleyYup. ….big cowards.
BC
..We can work dates around you. we’ll figure it out.still…it’s good for the ego to have all the silly men after us..always the ones we don’t want !
December 17, 2014 at 9:40 am #384546ImenaHahahaha, sad but true, always the ones we don’t want, but don’t despair girls. It’s always hard to find the right one in this crazy messy world. We’re like diamonds and they have to be diamonds,too, otherwise it is not worth it.
December 17, 2014 at 9:48 am #384548HarleyYup. .pure carat diamond need apply only. those that don’t make the cut…relegated to the thrash can.
December 17, 2014 at 10:14 am #384566ImenaWell said Harley!! Lol…. We don’t need to worry. There is only a reason why things happen. I think in our case things didn’t work with these guys cause we were meant to be for something better, for someone better. Sometimes, good things fall apart for better ones to come.
December 17, 2014 at 10:39 am #384577SherriI may sound ignorant but how far from London are you Harely? What about u BC?
December 17, 2014 at 10:50 am #384580HarleyI’m about an hr and 10 mins plane journey….then another great to get from airport to city centre. ..but I can probably get cheap flights. from the door of my mum’s in Ireland to central.london…5 hrs travel…maximum.
December 17, 2014 at 10:51 am #384582HarleyGreat. …meant hour
December 17, 2014 at 11:04 am #384585SherriOh ok that sounds far. I thought I would be like may be 2-3 hrs driving :D
December 17, 2014 at 11:20 am #384594HarleyAh. .. that’s short enough for me…it’s all an awfully big adventure. I do meet the most interesting people on my travels. . airports. . planes. . trains…tube…walking. …pubs. .. you name it.
December 17, 2014 at 3:15 pm #384653buttercupI’m about 120 miles from London, and I am a country girl through and through. I come from a farming family!
I’ve only actually visited the big city 3 times and then only for day trips. Traveling to London alone is a scary concept, however I’m prepared to do it and see it as an adventure….. Even though finding my way around I will literally crap my pants with fear, lol
December 17, 2014 at 4:01 pm #384671MandyI had an emotional day yesterday.. but I feel great today.. Been in a very good mood.. I think my cry yesterday helped.. Yes there is always something to remind me of him.. I have a box of his teeth whitening stuff on my bathroom counter that I need to throw in the trash.. just a constant reminder..
2 and half days and no FB for me.. I did long on earlier to accept friend request but I didn’t look at anything else.. I think the way it made me feel Sunday when I looked gave me the kick I needed to not check him out.. it just puts me two steps back..
Moving forward :)
Hope y’all are having a great day
