stevef20 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hi all, Well here I am 6 months in posting a thread whilst on holiday in Turkey. I'm pleased to say that I know that my previous relationship is dead and that I'm passed her and don't want her back. I'm posting because I made a last minute decision to get away for 10 days, I'm in Turkey, its very hot and very peaceful, I am though alone, I have so much time on my hands which you'd think would be a good thing, its not, truth is I feel alone, my friends, family and all the things with the exception of you guys seem a million miles away, I wish id have stayed at home, don't think I was quite ready for this. I guess you live and learn. Happy healing everyone, don't make my mistake. Steve Link to comment
professorplum Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Sorry to hear you are not enjoying yourself but I can totally understand what you mean. I'm pleased to hear you say you are past your ex. Be careful though, it sounds very soon to be making those kind of statements. When are you back to the UK? Link to comment
stevef20 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hey prof, I'm here for another week, I'm thinking about trying to get back early. My head is filled with thoughts about the baby my ex is carrying, is it mine etc ? Really not happy being here Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 just enjoy it. i took a tour into Cappedocia and I loved it. try to find something to do and relax. Link to comment
professorplum Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yeah totally understand that. It is the kind of place I would want to go with a partner and although in some ways it has probably done you good, you may be feeling a bit homesick given all the emotional trauma you've had. Hope you manage to get an earlier flight if that is what you want. Will see you posting back on here in due course I'm sure. Look after yourself. Link to comment
stevef20 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks guys. Feeling very sad. Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 are you at a beach resort? go do something fun to get your mind off of things. take a cultural tour. Link to comment
Goncas Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Steve i was planning a holiday on my own to get over my ex, forget, whatever supose to do...but thought that i probably end up in the same situation as you are. Right now i still associate travel to sharing that adventure with someone and that would indeed make me sad. On the positive side you did it, you had the guts to do it. Keep venting one here and try to find interesting activities to do there. I trully understand what you are going through and im sure its painfull!! all the best Link to comment
stevef20 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Sadly not Annie, at a friend apartment in the middle of no where, it has its place but isn't what I needed right now, don't worry, ill just have to wait to go home, not nice though. Thanks for caring. Link to comment
stevef20 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks goncas, I wish I had your sense, is have def stayed home, wishing your life away isn't healthy. Link to comment

Ambiguous X Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Smoke some magic herb if y0u can in Turkey...holiday is not a verb to Amerikans. Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Smoke some magic herb if y0u can in Turkey...holiday is not a verb to Amerikans. I highly recommend NOT breaking the law in Turkey. You do not want to wind up in a Turkish prison. Link to comment
Ambiguous X Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I highly recommend NOT breaking the law in Turkey. You do not want to wind up in a Turkish prison. was a great movie. Link to comment
Danny77 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 DUDE! Travelling alone is amazing!!! You get to do things you wouldn't usually get to do with other people! You can Be who you want to be!!! DO what you want to do!!!! It's better to meet cool people when ur alone too! Get out there and Be someone you want to be. ANYONE you want!!! i travelled for 7 years on my own and met 100's of interesting people and dated loads of great girls! Best time of my life! I plan to travel/holiday again and if I had the choice, seriously.... on my own, any day of the week! Go have a drink at the bar and eye up some girls. Hit the beach and read a book. See some sights, see some live music! nobody knows you! meet someone new! I'm jealous!! Totally! Link to comment
stevef20 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Danny, That sounds great m8 and a lot if fun, sadly though I'm in the middle of nowhere, no people, no beach, no live music and nothing to do, had I have been at a resort, is have done all of the above Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 since you have a week, why don't you do that? go take a tour? i took a 3 day tour into cappedocia. Link to comment
stevef20 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hello Annie, How's the super moderator today? Did you get that work finished? I feel better today, managed to bring my flight forward to Thursday which helped, also had a Turkish bath and cut throat shave, I've never been so clean I like turkey and the people but picture somewhere with nothing to do and nowhere to go then double the boredom, I'm there. Tabs looking good though. Link to comment
penelope13 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 With all that free time at hand I would find a nice spot somewhere in the shade and catch up with reading all those books that I never got around to. Just try to focus on the beauty of where you are and that you don't have to work. Don't focus on the things that you don't have Link to comment
stevef20 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks Penelope, ill consider myself told Link to comment
lucasky Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Heya Steve - some advice! I was just in Korea with friends, but due to my recent BU I still felt horribly alone and sad. I made myself enjoy what I could, missed out on other awesome times. End result? I regret not having enjoyed the things that I could have. I know I couldn't have changed things.... butttt... still, do what you can. Take pleasure in the smallest things - a tasty mango (if they have mangos in Turkey), or a street kid doing something fun. Smile at the good things, the little good things. When you get back, you'll be glad that you appreciated the things that you did, even if they were small! Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 my work - ulk, still so much of it!!! i agree with taking joy in the small things and finding a good book. i am glad you enjoyed the bath and shave!! Link to comment
Tanzi Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 also had a Turkish bath and cut throat shave, I've never been so clean Really??? ;-) Turkish baths are lovely! Which resort are you close to? Is there really no way you could get there and book yourself onto some tours. They can be fun sometimes and you will get to see some of the local sites? Link to comment
