    He’s just being nice/polite.

    i’d reply… out of niceness.. but short .. ” you too ”

    and if he replies.. ignore.

    HE has to learn… to put waaaay more effort in !

    You’ll be ok honey.. we are all in the same shite boat.

    Supporting.. each other.

    Hi Ladies…I am not a regular on this thread but I follow it. Mainly, because I have grown to care about you and your stories. I want to offer a bit of support and let you know that I went through something very painful as well and am on the other side now. You WILL get there and it’s just a matter of time. Right now, if my ex offered me everything I wanted and then some, my response would be “thank you, but that time has passed.” Focus on moving forward even if you miss them. I definitely am and have accepted an invitation to spend NYE in New York. He extended an invitation. I said yes. He emailed me a ticket within 15 mins. This is what effort looks like. When a man wants something, he will put in the work. All of us deserve someone who wants us as much as we want them.

    WOOHOO Carrie. Good news. HAPPY happy, romantic Xmas.

    the rest of us.. shall be fine. YES.. I demand effort.. BIG effort. it ain’t happening. ! I have sense… behind all the madness !

    Have a wonderful Xmas and New Year.

    Carrie, so glad for you!!! Have a great Christmas and New Year!! Enjoy it to the max!! :)

    Thanks for the insight and encouragement. I guess you are right when you say that it comes a time when even if they promise you the moon and the stars and act out, still we say ‘thank you, that time has passed” and that’s the truth indeed. It really does. We will get there soon if we focus forward and on our own selves. It will happen if we really wanna move on. I really feel like I am on the right track. It doesn’t hurt me that much anymore. I have accepted that it’s really over and it’s time to move on. I have accepted and I really feel like it belongs to the past.

    Thanks again for your encouragement! It was really sweet of you!! :)

    Merry Christmas ladies! I know it’s a hard day to be alone but take advantage of friends and family around you. They would love to share their special day with you! Most of all, know that the holidays are almost over and 2015 is right around the corner.

    To better and sexier days!:)

    Hey ladies, I hope you all had a great Christmas!! Hope for better days and so many blessings yet to come.

    The guy I was talking about wished me a Merry Christmas and I did smth I should not have done. I replied right away, wishing him a Merry Christmas,too. He said thanks and that’s it. Maybe I should have made him wait a little but can’t undo it now. Whatever.. I’m fine. It didn’t affect me so whatever. Hope y’all in a good mood. Keep up the good work and carry on. Better days to come!!! :)

    Ha Ha Imena.. THAT is too funny… your unfriending him got a reaction. And… he’s keeping you on the back burner.

    Or.. hes been genuinely nice for Xmas.

    Be wary.. you may get more messages, I would not “friend” him again.. not anytime soon anyway.

    Keep going forward, the way you are going. Don’t settle for his crumbs.

    #386513
    Imena

    Hey Harley, hope your Christmas went well.
    I think he was only being genuinely kind for Christmas, that’s all. Of course I won’t friend him again. That’s not gonna happen. It is too painful for me to see them together like that in those pics. I guess blocking him on Facebook was the best thing to do.

    Yes, he might or he might not reach me again, but whatever happens I won’t go down that road again. To be honest, I’m happier this way. I can be kind enough to forgive him but I can’t be that stupid to trust him again.

    #386525
    Harley

    Yup.. same as me. I’m doing good. I had a lie in, just up, going to get breakfast, walk the dog, catch up with some mates and go visit family.

    You have it all figured out in your head.

    Harley and Yoyo thanks for your reply,
    Sorry for not replying earlier but I have been feeling really up and down these last couple of days, having said that my kids had a great time,which is the most important thing.
    I guess I am upset with my self for letting my self go so easily, and it is true I obviously showed to be desperate to receive some affection and love, ????. I know I have so much going on for my self, I need to achieve some goals,and become a stronger and independent woman, who needs to be hard to get because so precious , and not the other way around!! I take risks in relationships and end up being the one, who gets hurt in the end..when will I learn?after days of no contact , I sent him Merry Christmas wishes, like an idiot, I wish I didnt, and his reply was ” I wish you all the best for you, give my love to the kids, ????”..
    What the hell was I thinking? Now it makes me laugh thinking about it..although it didn’t make it laugh when I read it. I know you are so right, I just think I ruined everything,why can’t I take things in small doses? well, I think I am getting carried away with this, so merry Christmas to you all ladies!!!

    The ????? was actually an emoticon , but don’t know why it won’t appear , ..merry Christmas !!!,

    Harley, it looks like you gonna have a busy day, with friends and family visits. That’s great!!

    I am glad you are doing fine and feeling better.
    Yea, I do have it figured it out in my head. Sometimes, I do feel nostalgic but it’s just a moment cause when I think of how insecure he made me feel stringing me along like that , it vanishes and I feel better with my present situation. I’ll be okay. I trust myself and I believe in myself. I’m gonna be better and better each day! I’m strong enough to do so.

    #386550
    Harley

    Yup.. me feeling the same as you.. stronger and stronger. I need to find a hot date for a family wedding in June next year !

    Aizra.. he was just being nice with the Xmas wishes. Keep going forward like us. We ALL want guys that put the effort in. not ones that are hard work and we have to second guess.

    #386571

    Yep I know , i meant what the hell was I thinking in the sense :writing that text was a big , big mistake! This time I will keep strong! Xx

    Harley, it still feels kinda bad occasionally that they don’t want us and moved on and are happy with someone else. It still kinda hurts that they dint want you. But there is no point dwelling on it any longer. It’s time to move on and forget, delete, forget and accept the fact that there is no more chance for us to be together.

    Hi Imena, Claire etc.. KEEP THE FAITH. WE WANT better.

    I had a great evening.

    Caught up with family, had a few drinks, the fun was good.

    Got talking to a workman for my house so will meet him jan 2nd. So I am keeping my mind busy and focused. He reccommended another workman to do electrics and plumbing on new house who… wait for it… is a GERMAN ! IS my life destined to be surrounded by germans ??? lol. I hope he’s in his 50’s or 60’s, ugly and married !

    #386630
    Imena

    Ugly & married?! Ha ha ha, well….let’s hope so cause otherwise I smell trouble in the air :p :p

    I am glad this house thing is serving as a distraction for you and I am happy to see you in such a good spirit!! Well yea… It’s Christmas! :)

    Hello I just wanted to share and try to get out some hurt and pain my boyfriend and I just recently broke up and we had been inseparable for the last 9 months in the latter months we started arguing all the time and I could sense the magic was disappearing…i feel like the more he became distant the more I became needy and desperate for his love on top of that I did so much for this guy and bent over backwards for him I was on his corner when he had no one to turn to..I’m broken hearted that he decided to give up on me due to what I will take responsibility for complaining a lot being negative at times and sometimes accusing…I feel like I was the one fighting so hard for this relationship and less and less remorse was seen he eventually said he couldn’t do this no more we can’t be together we wwere struggling to be comparable after awhile he left me a week 1/2 before Xmas and moved back in with mother…he had a lot of flaws just as well as I but I love him unconditionally and I was willing to fight for our love…To deal with this during the Xmas holiday is even more heart wrenching I went the week 1/2 with NC and it was killing me..when I didn’t get so much of a Merry XMAS after all we been through I broke down today and reached out just to get it off my chest that I thought his love was real I know he may be trying to move on but of you I truly cared for someone you would have the empathy to be kind or no hard feelings o still care about you even though we not together I still love him so much and his response was short and cold he said merry Xmas and happy new year I can’t lie and say this has sent me into a hysterical crying fit…how can someone say they love you one minute and be so cold and heartless the next..I know I shouldn’t have reached out this hurts so bad

    ladies, i m very well indeed. a lot of things after i back to my home town and i m very happy everyday so far. sorry abt i didnt keep updating my status. and tonight i m sick… i took some pills to sleep. but i woke up with my high temperture. please everyone, take care of yrself. i guess i didnt wear enough clothes so i got a fever now.

    things are full of surprise dun u gals think?
    y i say that tonight? a few things happened these couple days and i would love to share w u. may give u a little distriction if u r still feeling miserable.

    remember i said b4 my ex on 24th sent me gappt xmas and all the best blah blah blah. i ignored and deleted his msg in whts app. and i was feeling a bit regret after i deleted his name as if later on i wanna reply. i couldnt becoz i dun have his number in my phone anymore. anyway. as already deleted. forget abt it. but yesterday he hello me and calls me pet name. this time i ignored again. i told my gf abt this and ask wht she does in the past abt ex keep contact or how. she told me she also sometimes get a soften heart. couldn’t resist to reply sometimes but one day her friend told her one thing made her stop all the reaction. fd said: u really dun have other friends in yr life? she thought wow. yes. i have alot of friends y i still need him anyway, so she cut him off totally. the him was my brother btw. she thought if sth is important he would pick up the damx phone and call. words is cheap and she thought is unacceptable. ofcoz my brother chase her back now they r married now.
    i m not saying we need to do same to get him back. just we should have standard and shouldnt freak out ourselve when they just sent a stupid txt to us. stop making them so easy to reach us too. like this time. i guess my ex was really bored so txt me to entertain him but sorry.. i m not available. so ladies. heads up. walk forward. everything is gonna b cool.????

    my second thing i wanna share w u all is this little story.

    i recently assigned a group called couch surfing and on my second day i back to my home town. received a request from a guy from my country. in my profile i have already said gals only becoz i dun want make things complicated. this young guy, have won a competition and he won a 3months trip travelling the world. and the first stop is dubai. since i m having my holiday here now and he is from my home town. i reply him nicely saying i wish i could help but not sure if u all no in dubai, gal and guy if u r not marry and stay together. is against the law and the gal may put to jail. anyway i hsve watch this young mans movie clip. his clip that he took for the competition. i felt he has a good heart and i m surprise abt his attitude ia very positive and i want to support him when he is trying to do sth with a dream. i even asked my colleagues to host him for a few nights if they a available. but the funny thing happened last night. trust me this is so hilarious. this young guy saw my positive and movtiactive msg so he asked to meet up for a coffee. and i thought y not. so i made a plan to meet for an hr for coffee this afternoon. last night i was having dinner w a gf at soho area. i saw this young guy was sitting right next to my table. i was wondering isnt it him? the moment he starts to talk i thought the voice is also very familiar. but as my battery die. i couldnt txt ask if is him. then i left the restaurant. and i txt him w a little battery i just charged at the restaurant. i asked if he had dinner yet. he told me he is dinning and y. i said the restaurant name. omg. we both freak out the world is so small. today i met him in person. we both felt this whole thing how we met was full of surprises. and he said to me. i m back for 3nights. he met me 2 times already.
    anyway. i wish him all the best. i m sure he will have a unbelievable amazing world trip. see, life is full of surprises. is amazing, if we have peaceful in our heart. see things whts happening in yr present. u found yrself actually everything isca gift. and each gift was specially made for YOU.

    Thank you for posting this! I need to see it! Imntrying to go NC. with a guy I knida had a thing with. I know its for the best. Do you guys find that once you start NC, they reach out to you?

    I think the new guy is backing off.

    He’s been really quiet over Xmas. I knew he’s seen his children lots so I don’t expect to be seeing him.

    But he’s gone from being very consistent to replying to a text, to taking hours. We don’t text much anyway but it must feels different.

    I text him Xmas eve to which I had no response at all. Xmas day he text, and we sent a few texts back and forth. He didn’t reply to my last one which was regarding meeting on boxing day evening.

    So last night I just text asking if all was Ok.
    I wasnt meaning it in a needy way but I refuse to get involved with yet another man who chooses to ignore contact. Said he been with his kids. I get that, and as I said, I didn’t expect to see much of him over Xmas anyway.

    Today he sends a long text explaining that he was sorry he’d been quiet, and that his children had wanted to be with him over Xmas so he’s been making the most of it. I replied saying he doesn’t owe me any explanation, and that I only asked if all was Ok because he’d ignored my last text and that if he was backing off id rather he was honest instead of ghosting
    On me.

    No reply.

    I’m not gonna get into anything with a man that ghosts again. If this is how he’ll be, then I will walk.

    My heads in other places anyway…
