Do Men Have A Harder Time Letting Go Than Women?
I'm not sure who are more emotional, men or women
I've seen men who are more emotional than women, my ex-husband is one of them. I've seen women who are tougher than men, not a cry baby like me
Each one of us deal with a break up differently...easier for some, harder for most and it could take forever for others. It's harder for me but I managed to keep my pride and dignity, picked up the pieces and put them all together as best as I could...came out stronger, more matured but managed to be the same person that I am...crazy, big-hearted, kind, trusting, gullible, funny and with lots of love to give.
It didn't take long for me to get over my divorce as someone was there to catch me on my darkest and deepest hours...made me feel important, wanted, loved and gave me reason to move on.My ex- is having hard time letting go, he's now married for 2 years and have a daughter whom I adore. He told me that he could never love anyone else...and no one can take my place in his heart. I laughed it off...I look at him as a friend now, the father of my son...no more than that...my heart belong to someone else now. He told me that letting me go was the most stupid thing he's ever done and if he could turn back the time, he'll do things differently...even offered to buy me a car if I date him again
He's an Arab so I'm very cautious, don't want to protest to much so I tried to shrug him off in a funny way...trying to deal with it carefully...very carefully. I want him to have a happy life but out of mine.
Men show their emotions in different ways...some can be very subtle, it would take a woman full of love to get it. They react in a way we least expect, would take a lot of emotional and mental reflection to be able to understand them...at least for the men I know
Most men might move on and easily find someone else, but their heart beat for "THE ONE" that got away...that's just according to my limited experience and observations.How long did it take you to get over your ex-?
Happy Monday everyone

He was from a strict pakistani moslem family....and we had agreat relationship....so i do know what real love and desire feels like.....
For obvious reasons..i never met his family...and always knew we had no chance...living with that daily...pretty much crushed me.......
Call. You're back? You were reported missing?
CH. I don't really know how to answer your question.
Maybe layer I'll give you some answers.
sounds like true love...I'm glad it didn't happened to me
If you meet this guy again, and he's free, will you consider pick up the pieces where you left off?
I have a friend who's 40 now, her first love married someone else 15 years ago, till now she's waiting for him...
I think that's just his way of saying he loves you and don't want you to move on...
maybe...try to remember those ex-s and how long did it take you to get over them?
It would be interesting to share a coffee with him....but it could never be the same.....
I think....when you know you can't have someone....you push harder....
too bad he's not letting you move on...ask him to get married and have kids, that might scare him away
When it's time to go it's time to go and don't look back!
But, some men, and women, don't know how to do it. Crazy, but true!!
yeah...Muslim names are kinda difficult to locate...Mohammed, Ahmed, Ali...
Yes, when you can't have someone, you push harder...could lead to obsession for some
Come to think of it the only one I couldn't forget is the one who I never really had and I dumped to marry someone else and moved to England.
I dreamed about him for years and saw him getting older and coming to knock on my door as he wasn't happy with his marriage either.
The dreams actually stopped 16 years ago when I came to Spain.
As for the last one who was a very special relationship it took me a few weeks when I understood the reason why it had to end.
Then I accepted it..forgave...and moved on...
Then I decided to go back to my horse riding and fell off a horse...that was a harder shock to bear.
The best would be for you to cut all connections with him if you really want to move on.
If not..then forgive him..and see what happens.
1 minutes?!
Tell us how....please
I guess you're trying to be gentle to him....for good times' sake
don't have the heart to break his heart ?
That's the scary part
Was he Japanese?
Sounds like you have many ex-s and broke many hearts
One of them might show up one day and rekindle those old flame...this time you give it your best shot...no more horse riding
The brother of my friend was heart broken when his love married someone else...he married someone else too....few years later, they met by accident in the ship...both were already widowed and have kids....they hit it off right away and became one big happy family.
No, he's an Arab...and yes, it was some sort of honor thing...
he couldn't bear the thought of me with an older man
Yes, men love differently...some in a very weird way, it's just difficult to figure it out.
What I don't like is a man who doesn't say it...you've got to figure it out and if you get it wrong then you're the one in trouble.
Generally, men show it by their actions...women are more vocal about it I guess...
As for the ex.es no..I didn't break any hearts..It was a mutual agreement.
Maybe it is because they cannot express it as freely as women, so are not able to let it go.
But I do think men feel at least as deeply as women, and therefore can get hurt at least as deeply, and therefore take at least as long to recover, if at all.
And yes I think it's same ..... men are also human and have feeling ... but I think they try to act as man so they have to show themself as strong.
I forgot about this blog again
