Butterflygrl Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 You poke at your food with a fork He orders the steak and ask for dessert. You wake up three times in the night. He sleeps soundly right through the alarm. You dont' open the blinds and don't want to leave the house Friday night he's going out with his buddies and Saturday night this girl he's had his eye on. You cant find humor in your favorite comedy show He can't wait to tell someone the funniest joke they heard the other day. Your face looks sunken in, you've lost weight He brags to friends that he's never looked better. You cant even see a future without him He looks at his new girlfriend and wonders what his children will look like. Your every thought is him He doesn't even think about you except when someone mentions the word desperate, clingy, needy, or vicegrip. You text him and ask how he's doing. and he responds an hour later. You see his name pop up. You can hardly breathe. what will he say?... "Fine. Can't talk right now. ttyl. " Because That's the Reality. Link to comment

SchecterGuy Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Other than the texting I can wholeheartedly relate. Life has lost a lot of meaning for me. I have never felt so empty. Link to comment
jettison Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I just dumped someone less then a week ago. I know it's not going well for her. I already felt bad, but this makes me feel worse. You always want to imagine that your empathy is genuine and far reaching, but in reality we can see our own picture quite clearly, while the picture of the other merely filters in as hazy, brief flashes of understanding.

Butterflygrl Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yes while we suffer they go on with their lives as if we never happened. Like we were an itch they once had-they scratched it and the feeling is gone. I have to get on with my life-i can't take it anymore truly. Link to comment
Butterflygrl Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Jettison, was that necessary? People on this board really are hurt. I mean I don't understand why you did that without at least letting people know that it was a comedic. And so you left your girlfriend and so im assuming this is what you think is funny. wow.

Butterfly, You couldn't possibly have taken me more wrong if you tried. When I got dumped by my last girlfriend, I watched that video, and I smiled. Sometimes, a little comedic value allows you to step away from your situation and look at it with some perspective. We can alllllll relate to that video because we've all been there. We've all cried over love lost. In the early stages, we have to take even the simplest of notions with deathly seriousness. Later, after we've had a little time to process, we loosen our grip, realize that we're just going through one of those normal paths in life, and we feel ok again. EDIT: That said, I'm sorry that it did not help you. When my mate got dumped, and was crying every other day, I showed this to her and she laughed out loud and said "thanks". Different strokes.

Butterflygrl Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Oh okay. Sometimes we do need to laugh. I should look at it again with different eyes. Not that i wouldn't think it funny under different circumstances. Actually it's my kind of humor, It's just hard when your heart has been kinda stomped on--The only thing funny sometimes is the reflection in the mirror. No worries. I need to lighten up.
