Good for you and thanks for your appreciation!

Hey all, a friend of mine's birthday is coming up. This friend is a photographer by hobby. My friend told me once that she wanted these butterflies for her pictures that she just can't seem to find. I thought this would be a perfect gift, but I don't know what they are. I saw them in a picture and they seem like fake butterflies that are like accessories for a photographer. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If you do, what is it that I am looking for? If no one knows could anyone please help me out with a gift idea for a photographer that is under $50?

Thanks! It is refreshing to see others, whom have successfully reconciled, have the same viewpoint on relationships as I have now. Whether or not my ex and I get back together is not the point anymore ( no we are not back together). The point is I have learned the right lessons and have taken the proper steps to being a better person. The next person I am with will be lucky for that. Looking forward to positive updates from you!

Man is that so this so true. The same happened to me and, of course, when your 'happiness' it taken from you (you get dumped), you tend to beg and plead for it back. Been there done that. Luckily, I have been able to figure this out as you have. I have re-connected with the person I was before we were together. I look at the person I became in the relationship and just can't believe I allowed my self to fall so far into the same 'depression' you refer to. I have cut out all of those bad habits and have re-established a confidence in myself that has been gone for a long time. Today, I can honestly say I am a better me. It sucks it had to happen the way it did, but the fact is it had to happen. I have goals and I'm actively pursuing them as well. I evaluated the way I handle my personal relationships and today I am a better friend, son, brother, etc. to the people in my life. If you were worth leaving at the time, a break up should be a wake up call for you.

You have a right to be happy and I accept you do not want to be with me. I will never believe you don't love me, we grew up together and I know you better than your parents. I'm no loner an influence and I hope your path leads you to where you want to be. I don't blame you for breaking up with me, but why did you leave with the the thought of our family - us married, our kids. The "wonderful" life we were going to have. It took you 5 years to get me to admit I wanted that with you. Now I'm alone and feel like I will never have that, because you are apart of that picture. The thought of what could have been will always be with me now. I know I will forgive you but, I don't know how I am going to do it.

A very close friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend nearly. She dated other people over a period of 4 years. She got back with him after those 4 years and told me that she always thought of him and she would always compare the other guys to the ex she got back with and none of them really compared. Yet she still dated other people over the course of 4 years. They are broken up now, her dumping him again, because of bad habits the guy just won't quit. I can tell she still loves him and she was being forced to dump him because of his behavior. Naturally the guy still wants her back. She claims she is over him for good this time, but in a moment of vulnerability she admitted to me that she isn't sure that they wouldn't ever get back together. They are still in regular/semi regular contact.
