Ampire Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 the journey continued...from love bombs to NC....to....well this... soooo....for those who have been following the story the past couple months, or more so the past week I guess since the ex contacted me...this is what happened I met up with the ex last night at her request and my guard was still up! after about 5 minutes along with a hug that tightened my chest to the point where I had to ask her if shes been pushin weights...she tells me she needs me to come back.. we talked, she realized she made a mistake, she said she is quitting smoking pot, she is going to go to therapy to help her understand herself, she has realized that she got scared to commit and that the whole idea of us buying a home together freaked her out...she did mention there we other issues aswell, but bottom line is she said she has had her guard up the whole relationship and wants to change that....to make a long story short she wants to get back together, I am taking it slow though, one day at a time, there is no rush and i am def. not moving back in with her for a pretty long time, we are going to have to do some long distance for a while until my trust builds up....but bottom line is that it went well and she wants me back.... again thanks to those who have helped and I will still come here obviously cuz this forums awesome and i will keep you posted on my situation and try to help others... for those who want a quick run down of how it happened...this is how it went down from day 1...the big stuff anyway...might give someone some insight or help on how to get someone back, but i wouldnt quote me on anything because its like reading a donald trump book and expecting to use his words to own mass amounts of real estate and be rich as hell...lol -she broke up with me 2 months ago....i did all the mistakes one does after getting their heart ripped out.. -2 weeks later she called me and wanted me to come visit and take her son trick or treating with her, so i did for a few days... -after 3 days with her i realized there wasnt enough love or effort to make it work from her so i said i couldnt do this anymore... -i didnt call her on her bday a week later -sent her a Love bomb Letter (see "Dropping a serious LB" thread) a couple weeks later - spoke to her on my bday a few days after the letter arrived, the letter had no effect (yet) -i wrote her an email telling her how i feel, not oh i love you but a you disappoint me email that same day and went on strict NC -a week and a half later she emailed how are u, i ignored... -2 days after that i got another pointless email, i replied 3 days later asking her to respect that i want to heal and to not contact me anymore -she replied with i miss you, we miss you (her and her son)..i ignored -she called earlier in the week and left a message that she misses me and she wants me to visit and that her son misses me, she called again about 2 hours later -i called back and said it wasnt a good idea, im not trying to set myself or your son back, but she insisted that i come visit...i said nope you gotta come to me, she did...and the rest of the story is,well at the top of the page... 2 quote the great shawn carter....ladies love me long time like 2pacs soul... but like super dave said, the trick is not to get them back, its to get them back for good!
thinkstoohard Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Let me be the first to congratulate you, LB! CONGRATS!!!!
Ampire Posted December 14, 2007 Author Posted December 14, 2007 Let me be the first to congratulate you, LB! CONGRATS!!!! w00t w00t!!! thanks dude!!!!!
thinkstoohard Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Now is when the real hard work begins my friend! I know you can do it, though!!!
enchiladaman Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Congrats on the news. Not to be a Debbie Downer here, but I think you owe it to yourself to give this girl PLENTY of space to make sure that the therapy and changes continue before you get yourself emotionally involved again. It is too easy to proclaim change and improvement when you want someone back so badly. But to stick to it through the relationship and not fall back into old traps is where the real dedication and hard work comes. Just be careful. We don't want you ever coming back here in the same state you were in 2 months ago.
CreoUCLA Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Congrats! Take things slowly, and have patience. Best of luck to you both! I'm meeting with my ex next week (at her request). That should be interesting... But I have no expectations either way. -Mike-
Zorba Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Now that's what I like to see. I had a feeling she would come back. Keeping her is now the trick, but at least you have that opportunity now. Kudos.
emalkoc Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 CONGRATS Identify TOGETHER what went wrong last time, and work on those and write it down somewhere both can read/see. And, watch the progress and talk about it... Cheers to you...
LilBear Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 All the best! I love success stories..! My ex called tonight and wanted to talk to me. He asked if we could be friends and can I please don't ignore him. I said 3 years is a long time and I have to think about being just friends. He said his heart has been hurt and he doesn't want to start anything rash. So I simply texted him that I'm sorry and if within the next two months he's interested to get back together he knows where to find me. And that's it.
Crazyaboutdogs Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Congratulations! Just take it slow and make sure that her actions match her words.
Clabs Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Kudos to you fella! Hope it works good for you, I really do. Keep us updated and mate - take it slow. Mark
AngryHeart Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 CONGRATS! Like everybody else has said, take it slow and be careful with your heart
Ampire Posted December 15, 2007 Author Posted December 15, 2007 Thanks to all!! I will take it slow...it's going to take a while to build my trust back up...if it ever builds back up again, who knows....time will tell....
holden Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 I'd say congrats...but everyone else did....so i'll b more original....good luck wanker!!!
holden Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Remember, if you get back together dont ask her to marry u within the first few weeks of the reconciliation, lol...Someone else (who's name i dare not speak) did such a thing, and it went horribly yet hilariously wrong! cheers, LB!

lovemeorleaveme00 Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Congratulationsssssssssssssss!!! 2 Less Lonely People In The World....la La La..!
glimmerofhope Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Congratulations, dude! It's nice to be reminded like this every now and then that good things do happen to good people.
lovemeorleaveme00 Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 TWO LESS LONELY PEOPLE I was down my dreams were wearing thin When you're lost where do you begin My heart always seemed to drift from day to day Looking for the love than never came my way Then you smiled and I reached out to you I could tell you were lonely too One look then it all began for you and me The moment that we touched I knew that there would be (chorus) Two less lonely people in the world And it's gonna be fine Out of all the people in the world I just can't believe you're mine In my life where everything was wrong Something finally went right Now there's two less lonely people In the world tonight Just to think what I might have missed Looking back how did I exist I dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far But miracles come true, I know 'cause here we are (repeat chorus) I KNOW.. I KNOW ..ITS SO CHEESY BUT I JUST REALIZED NOW THAT ITS MORE THAN A CORNY SONG..IM SO HAPPY FOR THE TWO OF YOU!!!
Ampire Posted December 15, 2007 Author Posted December 15, 2007 Thanks everyone...much appreciation!!!
emalkoc Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 but like super dave said, the trick is not to get them back, its to get them back for good! Ampire, I will be honest with you here. If you love someone very much, you cannot have your guards up!..You have to give 110% and dont look for negatives, always positives, expect good things, good things will come to you.....and listen and talk.. At this stage, dont play games...just try hard and see where it goes. Good luck. emalkoc

Good luck. emalkoc yesterday we promised one another that the guard will be down 100%... but you are right, look for positives not negatives....i usually dont, she used to, drove me nuts....but im just being a little careful thats all....guard down, but taking it very slow...
bustertypsy Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 This is great news.Remember as SuperDave said it's about getting them back.....FOR GOOD!!! Best of luck for the future!!!
