I'm sorry you are going through a difficult time. What helped me was to spend time with friends, engage in my favorite hobbies, exercise.... When those pesky thoughts would emerge in my head I'd focus on the negative rather than dwell on the positives...
I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time. First, vent about your feelings. It's great that your using this portal to express how you feel. What helped me move fwd was spending time with family and friends, praying and reflecting about the relationship. I began to focus on the negative aspects about him rather than dwell on the positives. Remember the hurt you feel and turn it into anger. Empower yourself and remember you are an independent & strong woman. You don't need any man to survive or make you feel happy. In time you'll heal...
Elizabeth Taylor was a beauty! :) Everyone, thank you so much for the advice and feedback. I needed to read your words to snap back into reality and not fall victim of being guilted for his mistakes...
Mike, My last email response I informed him that I'm not willing to relive our past and to please leave me alone. Let's hope this does happen. If not I guess bye bye email.
Hi Morg, Yes, def think it would be a wise idea. The only contact we've had in the last 11 months is through email. I think it's time to close my account.
Within the past year we've interacted briefly. He apologized for his actions and I forgave him. I even assisted him with a family issue to show I've moved past whatever hurt he may have caused. However, I never reconciled as he may have desired. Funny thing, I think the machismo side of him wanted me to court him and pretend as if nothing ever happened. I'm sorry but though I love him, I'm not in love with him. I become frustrated with myself for allowing him to bother me in this way. I guess he was successful! lol
