At least I.....

[elithepi]

Hey people,

Yep, we are feeling pretty rough these days. I know I am.

Christmas, New Years.....yeah.

Sooooo.....I thought it would be a healthy thing to look at the good side of our break up.

We need a pick-me-up thread here.

EVERYONE should participate!

Lighten the load!

Lets see what we can come up with.

 

At least I.......

....don't have to buy a present for her.

....don't have to wonder if she's going to break up with me....she did already!

....have this forum to write thoughts in.

[DN]

.. can leave the seat up

.. can have exclusive use of the remote control

.. don't have to see doilies all over the place

[need2bme]

...get to spend Christmas alone.

...get to miss her...Err, oh wait, wrong thread...;-)

 

I meant...

 

...don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing.

...don't have to worry about her getting on me for no reason.

...don't have to sit through her talking to her ex or be wrapped up in any drama...

 

Um, this is supposed to make me feel better, right?

[elithepi]

at least I...

....started a thread that kind of hard to contribute to.

....am loosing weight!

Don't have to feel stressed out by trying to make conversation with a brick wall

 

Don't have to feel overwhelmed

 

Don't have to PRETEND to be INTERESTED

[need2bme]

...at least I...

 

...don't have to wonder if each text message is her.

...don't have to listen to her go back on her word.

...don't have to guess at what she is thinking and then listen to her tell me I speak to her as if I am trying to convince her of things.

[Benson]

At least I...

 

....wont get frustrated at her for not standing up for herself

....figured out that she wasnt worth my effort

[finewhine]

At least I...

[elithepi]

At least I...

...know that pining and whining to the girl is not doing me any good.

...have enjoyed reading posts on this thread.

...have come to the conclusion that if I screw up NC, I'd better be funny and have SOMETHING to say.

...can pass gas under the covers....loudly.

[mcnani]

At least I...

[EddieRentz]

At least I...

... can hang out with my "imperfect" friends again

... dont have to be told that I am a burden anymore for not being handed wealth like she was

... dont have to make excuses for why I want to have a relationship with my half-sister and her mother

... dont have to answer the question "is she prettier than me?" for every client, colleague or adversary I deal with at work

... dont have to worry about getting her a spectacular gift to top last year's (I thought for 11 months about that - no more!!!)

... am starting to be able to block out all of the ugliness, lies, betrayal and deceit of the past 6 weeks and start to remember that I had a great run with someone who has changed my life in so many ways for the better - without having to retain any of her current toxicity

Fine post. My thoughts exactly after getting out of a nearly 7 year relationship with my gf. After almost 7 weeks I am starting to see more happiness getting out of it than sadness...well, maybe that's not true yet but heading that way.

At least we...

...have kindred souls to explore our feelings with in a healthy manner rather than burying ourselves in booze, self sabotage and feeling avoidance... for this, those of us who have found MajorD, SuperDave, Annie, Ellie and each other are very lucky.

... know that there are others going through the exact same thing we are, that the universe has not singled us out for damnation...and that with a little help from friends and positivity - we will be better off (despite how trite the sentiment and how crappy we may feel right now)

[silky88]

at least i ...

 

... finally know what happened.

... can start to heal.

... am working on myself and have a break from school.

[dnozzle]

....don't have to hear her say she feels "entrenched" in a relationship.

....don't have to hear her tell me she feels a small amount of pressure to get back with me, since...you know....we were talking about marriage.
