(Mainly for the guys) We've all had those kinds of relationships where you can't live with them but cannot live without them. At least, we perceive it that way. We know they are no good for us but somehow cannot keep them from our thoughts and don't want to let go. Your emotional feelings are all over the place and we are so confused as to what to do. How did you cope in this situation? What worked best for you. How difficult was it to move on or find someone better suited to you. What did you do when the thought popped into your head to ring or text them. Love is hard work sometimes. I know i found it extremely hard to break away from my last relationship but knew i had to for my own sanity. Just wondered what others' thoughts were.
Do what married people do......pick them to pieces.....look at all the bad and things you do not like......learn to dislike them greatly.....this will stop the love and you can't wait to get away. Thats how married folks do it...........

I'm well on the way to finding myself again. Just wondered how other people cope with the same circumstances. It isn't easy. For me, i just concentrated on my daughter and tried to make new friends as my old ones all live away from my home town now. The loneliness was the hardest part for me. I'm such a sociable person. I hate being alone but i'm getting used to it slowly. I have a new job and a lot more money to look forward to also.

A friend and I sat one day a little while back. We got to talking about our relationships over the years. As we talked I seen a smile come over his face. He told me that when you learn to live with yourself and get to know yourself, love will find you. He said for him it was just around the corner.
I came home and thought about this and you guessed it. Once we can live with ourselves, finding someome else seems to happen much easier.

I usually just come on to her sister,best friend or mother in the end. It saves a lot of explaining and it eliminates all guilt or emotional ties that she may feel. Simples.

While it is hard, do your very best to NOT remember the good and only focus on the bad..I know that is usually the opposite of what you'd hear, but in cases like these we are much better off realizing why an ex is an ex.
I found this helped me a great deal and then when I heard gossip about how he was being a clod and abusive to another woman he was involved with, it became easier to reaffirm my choice to dump him.
Remember, you have only so many choices in life and whether or not you are happy, well, that's a personal choice and engaging an ex and hanging on to the bad relationships in life doesn't allow you to truly move forward and find someone better for you.

If the relationship is coming to the point of no return, you just leave.-Whats the point staying in an unhappy relationship??.-

If as you say, you are a sociable person, then very soon we'll hear the bells ringing.-

Unfortunately there is no quick fix, when the heart lingers for what we know is so wrong at all levels. My own personal experience has thought me that if I want to break free and move forward I'm the only one that can do that. I generally start, by erasing all their contact details, from my FB, their skype details etc etc. This helps me in ensuring I cannot make contact with them, as I'm terrible at remembering no's I then go out with my friends, go to the movies, and generally pre-occupy myself. I have also have a stressful job, and most times this does help. If all else fails, I have copious amounts of drinks, and feel myself sorry lol . But seriously I no its not easy as at the end of the day, we go home, and we left to ponder as to why, what how. Most times when u have decided to end a relationship, its because you are unhappy. Think of that, everytime you want to reflect on the past as it also helps in ensuring that we are able to move forward to a happier place. All of it takes time, so be kind to yourself and have patience
I just wanna feel real love, Feel the home that I live in. ’cause I got too much life, Running through my veins, going to waste.
I don’t wanna die, But I ain’t keen on living either. Before I fall in love, I’m preparing to leave her. I scare myself to death, That’s why I keep on running. Before I’ve arrived, I can see myself coming.
