Thanksgiving

[-BK-]

Anyone have a similar situation, or advice?

 

I started dating my ex in February of this year and we just broke up this month (I'm the dumpee). We got to know each other's families fairly quickly as mine only live 2 hours away and hers live like 45 minutes away. She had decided to spend Thanksgiving this year wth my family and I was so excited to have that happen. Well, it's Thanksgiving today -- in case you didn't know. I'm here with my family and love that I'm with them during this time... but can't help but think that she should be here with me.

 

It's making this holiday a little hard for me.

Happy Thanksgiving. That is very natural the way you feel. From experience I would say the best all around thing you can do is to focus your attention on those around you that you are thankful for.

 

I bet she is thinking of you today as well, but I would just let your thoughts pass for today.

Sorry BK..as you know...most of us are experiencing similar feelings today as well...so take comfort in knowing you're not the only one! I second Captain's advice!

 

By the way...anyone ever tell you, you kinda look like adam sandler? (at least in that pic anyway..lol)

ex's accross america are thinking of each other today. dont fret. she is 90% likely to be thinking the same exact thing.

I'm sure there are many of us here that are feeling that way. I knew we weren't going to be together for dinner today (long story) but figured I would meet up with him at his parents later on.

 

I just wonder if he is feeling the same way I am, or if he is perfectly content with the way things are... I miss him so much.

 

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving BK. Enjoy the time with your family and think about the other things in your life that you have to be thankful for. (if only I would take my own advise!)

I've never heard Adam Sandler, but I'll take it as a good thing.

Sorry about that BK. I am right here with ya. Leaving on a plane to go see my kids too. I should have seen her first and then left.

 

Ahhh, the agony of it all...;-)

Thanks everyone. It does help to know that we're not alone this day when we feel so alone. How can I even say I feel alone when I'm with my sister, mom, and dad?! I must be crazy -- I love my family.

 

I just wonder if he is feeling the same way I am, or if he is perfectly content with the way things are... I miss him so much.

 

Like lizer said, there is a good chance they are thinking of us too... but I'm going to try and take the advice to not worry about that. I should enjoy the time with my family. If I feel bad on Monday at work, I can worry about it then.

 

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving BK. Enjoy the time with your family and think about the other things in your life that you have to be thankful for. (if only I would take my own advise!)

 

Happy T-day to you also. Isn't it great how we can give good advice for others, but can't seem to follow it ourselves? C'est la vie.

aint that the truth. i'm sitting here just wanting nothing else than to text her a happy thanksgiving message and partially hoping she'll send me one first. but it's not going to happen. if i were giving the advice i'd tell myself not to do it - that it's a bad idea, but right now it's all i want to do. *sigh*
