Disenchanted

Thanks for sharing this story and reviving this thread. I'm curious about the questions in the post above me too. I was also wondering how long it took your brother to the point of not caring?

Im a little under the influence but my feelings haven't changed. I love you. There's really nothing else to say but I love you. I know nothing will change but I still want to tell you that I love you. You know this but you're not doing anything about it. You think life is better after you ended things. Im still here because there's nowhere for me to go. You are the one. I believe in this journey and I know that you will come back. I don't know how I know but I'm sure of it. I miss you and I love you Sarah

Cute story in this thread, post 3: Thank you to Hell_on_Heels!

Even though I feel like I might have given up on my ex (see the hesitation there? LOL), I still love this thread. Sending more love to everyone!

I was once one of those people who read every post in every page until i read a post on page 22 or 23. Someone said that this thread is only giving people false hope. That may be the case, but this thread is a testament of "what is meant to be will be." All we can hope for is for us to be as lucky as the true stories written here. Giving everyone positive vibes!

Congratulations!

I'm inspired to type up some true stories I know to make myself and hopefully others feel better. 1. My sister and her girlfriend. They met in the Philippines when my sister went for originally a month but she met someone special and she ended up staying for 3 months. Those 3 months were a solid foundation and they continued dating long distance (Canada and Philippines - 12 hour timezone difference!) for the next 3 years. During that time, Skype and Facetime weren't around so they found ways to talk to each other everyday (phone cards, Yahoo messenger, etc.) During those 3 years, my sister had someone interested in her and the long distance was taking its toll. I remember her telling me "I feel so jealous when I see my friends go to the movies with their partner." So she dumped her girlfriend and started dating the other girl who was interested in her. Heartbroken, her ex from the Philippines also had a rebound. When she told my sister about the rebound, my sister was crushed and that's when she realized that she wants her back. It's laughable now to think that the time they were broken up was only a little over 2 weeks. But it happened, and my sister's girlfriend got granted permanent residency in Canada. Now years later, she's a citizen and her and my sister have a house, a car and a dog together. 2. My cousin - My cousin and her boyfriend are currently 9 years in, but they had a hiccup. When her boyfriend moved away, they drifted apart for a year in 2012. She told me that during that time, they hardly talked because she was ignoring his texts to the point where he was calling her mom and siblings to please talk to him. She also briefly dated someone else during the break. He sent her pleading videos of himself crying, which she still has in her computer and would tease him about it now. Anyway, that year long break ended when he went back to her city. She knew he was back but refused to see him or else she would want to get back together. He surprised her at work one day and the rest is history. 3. One of my friends and her boyfriend at the time were broken up for 9 months. I first met her in the middle of those 9 months. It was clear that she was still hung up on him but was dating around. They broke up because they were fighting a lot because he was going through a period of being unhappy with his choice of going to a certain college. A new guy started hanging around our group of friends and our group all thought they were PERFECT together. She was attracted to him but was turned off by something he did on their first date (he spat on the ground LOL). I think that was just her picking on little things. Anyway, conveniently after their 2nd date and it going well, her ex made contact. He wanted to meet so she agreed. She was hesitant to get back together but knew that their connection was real. Myself and our friend group were talking to her about her choices: the clean slate (new guy) or the one she went through a breakup with. She chose her ex because she said that he fits her like a glove. They're happily married now. 4. Another friend was dating a guy and they had 2 break-ups. Each break-up was 3 months of NC and how they got back together was they ran into each other and started talking. They had a 3rd break-up and it's now for good. I know this isn't a happily ever after, but they got back together TWICE after 3 months of NC! 5. My sister's friend (another lesbian story). My sister's friend got dumped over something really stupid, like being irritated about something to do with cable tv account. Then her ex cut her off and she was devastated. During that time, we knew that her ex was just making any excuse to end it because it was such a stupid reason. My sister's friend was so devastated that she started hanging around other lesbians and post it on Instagram. I guess her ex saw it and got jealous and they got back together. They were broken up and NC for a little less than a month. 6. Someone I know who is about to get married next spring has been with his fiancee for about 6 years but they had been broken up before. 7. Hopefully one day, I can come back to this thread and type the story about how my most recent ex and I got back together. *fingers crossed*
