SarahRose Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Oh I always am. It never seems that way at first though. When I look back, those relationships were just dragging me down anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyjuice Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hi Since the LDR break up, it reduce my burdens of working on closing the distance gap. Not to worried about no enough money to visit or not able to find work in his country. Now I could refocus my life. And I am going to quit my job soon.

kadvati79 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The way I see it, when life gives you lemons. You got two choices, cry, or make lemon juice. When the breakup happens you just have to move on, eventually, because the only other option is to stay living in the past. To move on you have to grow into a bigger person. I figure my breakup happened because even though I knew our relationship wasn't working, and was hamstringing my life, I loved my ex too much to end it. I guess the universe just forced my hand a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blemished Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 My breakup helped me have the discipline to change other things in my life as well. I bettered my diet by cutting out things I shouldn't eat. I knew I could do it since cutting out anything is easy after cutting out my ex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the universe just forced my hand a little bit. i'm the same. i loved him too much to ever break up with him. he was (or so i thought) too great of a guy to let go, no matter what obstacles we faced. of course, i try not to think of it this way now, because he's not as great of a person as i thought, and i have an obligation to myself to move on and let go. i knew it was bad when i was talking on the phone with my dad today, who NEVER tries to talk about emotional issues with me, and he said, "this guy was not good enough for you. he was weak and didn't treat you right. GET OVER IT." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I know I am. I have a new GF now who is simply amazing. 3 months dating, no arguing, no fights, just the 2 of us being happy together. I dont worry what my gf is doing, and it is all smooth sailing. it is amazing to be with someone kind and caring who gives "us" a fair chance rather than keeping me around while looking to see if there is better out there. life is so much better for me. I thought my ex was my world, but it was a world filled with pain, misery, mistrust, jealousy, and BS. we all hate changes like a breakup in our lives, but they happen for a reason. I hope my ex is doing well, but dont care either way what she is doing. she is just a chapter in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONESOUL Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It's been some really serious ups and downs in the last 10-11 or so weeks since the break. (together 7 years) But, yes I think I am doing better. I think I started doing better the day I left that emotionally abusive realtionship. That was the day I said, "I love you with all my heart, but I won't let you do this any more." I want a good life~and I deserve it. I never thought I would have the courage to do it...but I did and it gets better little by little.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
