I think once you can get past the initial pain of the breakup you will be in a better place for getting through the rest of the grieving process. Unfortunately, being together with her for quite some time has conditioned you to the cycle that you participated in by putting up with her and seeing past her erratic behavior.

 

In truth, it looks like you really only had a relationship with half of person. The other half was the wreck and destruction that you took responsibility to solve for. Instead of having a healthy relationship with communication about issues, you took it upon yourself to be responsible for "cleaning up after her" so to speak. It is painful to lose the good half and it is also painful to be relieved of the role you played in being the fixer or peacekeeper. However, in the end and once you can get past the break up enough to recognize that it wasn't good for you or the kids, you will see it for what it is and realize that it wasn't sustainable. You couldn't make it better, alone.....not without her being accountable for her behaviors.

 

I am sorry you are going through this. I am sure that your heart is ripped to pieces after how much work you put in. It shouldn't be this much work though. Give it time and you will come to see that.

I see what your saying.Thats it, I put up with the bad half of her personality, because the good half was just so good.I dont really blame her.She does not see it,its hard for her to get help if she wont see her problem..in a way she is sick and needs help..I have been on a rollarcoaster of trying to forget her, and missing her so much. when she was in a good mood we were so good together..so close..so passionate!

You are welcome.

 

Just understand that only you chose to stay on the roller coaster. You can get off at any time. It is your anticipation and enjoyment of the good parts of the ride that keep you on even if overall you are feeling sick and unwell because of the bad parts of the ride affecting how you feel in sum total.

hmm I wish I could just get off! I will try to think of how terrible it was to get over it..but then..i just miss being beside her..I miss her smell, I miss her touch..I miss her eyes, hard to block that out!

 

Oh, I know that feeling. It is torture. But you have to go through it. Focus on feeling the pain and allowing yourself to be sad. Do your best to exercise some patience with yourself and the process. The more you resist, the longer it lasts. It gets better. I does NOT feel like that right now but it does. It really does.

Maybe it would help for you to step away from ENA for a bit as you are keeping your head "in it." Why don't you go get yourself busy with something around the house or with the kids or watch a movie or anything to help tear you away so that you don't feel the anxiety you are feeling at the moment.
whats ENA?

Reality is sinking in. Seriously, think about it. This woman has the capacity to kill you in your sleep. There is someone far better for you out there that you will have a healthy relationship with. This one just is not working for you......

 

When you thing about her eyes, and her smell and all that, please also think about how dangerous she is to your very well being!!!.......

I dont miss the abuse..I know she needs help..But she does not see it....but I miss her tender side, her good side, we were very passionate in bed for 6 years, every time was still like new and that never wore off....I have never seen that in a long term relationship...it must stand for something!
