Sorry DU... I'm Still In A Bad Place
my head is better, but my heart is not...

I realize that I let someone into my heart and on the way out they shredded it. I also realize that I never got to their heart, that I got in their head, but not to their heart.

So I'm sad, and hurting, and feeling self pity, and just so there are no questions

THIS IS NOT A THINLY VEILED THREAD!!!! This is an I feel shitty thread, and I feel that way because it hurts to get your ass dumped.

I'll be better tomorrow.

Or the next day.

I also am missing my son, who happens to be in the paradise that I spent with this person who dumped me, this week. He is having a blast. Hunting sea shells. Going out in the Gulf. He's having a blast.

It is making me a little sad that he is there of all places in the week that this has happened. Oh well, I now know that I am better off, just like my therapist told me I would be.

Hell, more than half the people I talk to said that. So why do I let myself hurt, and want to stay?

:hi:

Just moving on...

1. Why do you let it hurt? Because you're human, SPK.
And a damn fine human at that, even if your middle name could be IBTL.;-)

5. Hey sweetie.
Hope you're okay.

As for moving on.....I'm not sure how to do that. I mean, my head is saying one thing, and my heart is saying something totally opposite.

Kinda like that statement by Sally Field in "Steel Magnolias"......"My head knows that he's gone. I just wish someone could explain it to my heart". :cry:

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

PM me if you need anything.

10. thanks you
:hug: :hug: :hug:

I think I understand what you are saying

but I also have had a lot of good talks tonight with friends and I have come to some solid conclusions that my heart just needs a bit of time to "hear"

:hug:

8. So sorry, SPK.....
I was hoping you were starting to do better. One step at a time, one day at a time..... It just takes time. Eventually, things will improve... although I know that isn't much consolation right now.

You have a lot of friends here who care about you. You can pour your heart out to us anytime, you know that!

:hug: :grouphug: :loveya:

9. SPK, let me tell you something
There are very few things in life that a beer and a ballgame can't help, at least in some small way.

If you're ever near Manchester, I'll spring for the Fisher Cat tickets and a round at Raxx or the Rover.

Be strong, friend...

22. Sorry
unrequited love sux. Why is love so complicated? If you didn't care so much it wouldn't hurt so much. You must have really cared. Seems it is proportional to the loss. I've been in a long distance, long term relationship for over ten years. I was so infatuated with this guy and craved being with him so much my chest wall felt like it was caving in. Once I started to fall for him I couldn't stop the momentum. Intellectually I knew it was foolish. I loved him and missed him endlessly. He fit the bill so perfectly for my mental image of a partner. No one else could live up to the standard. I still love him. It's like loving someone who is dead. I didn't mean to make this about me and I meant to be empathetic. You aren't alone in this love thing, friend. Be strong. It gets better, day by day.

26. I'm going through a similar situation
I messed with fire for a few weeks and now I'm burned. My feelings were completely one sided and unreciprocated. Which means I could only get mad at myself for allowing such a situation to occur in the first place.

Hang in there, man. Moving on means there's movement, however slow the movement may be.

27. I am so sorry, my friend.
And I do understand. I'm in pretty much of a bad place, too, just now. I've been kind of a mess, and nothing I try to do seems to make much difference. But you sound as if you're handling this as well as you could be expected to. And your son will be back and excited to see you. He'll want to tell you about his adventures. I am doing the same thing, because I believe things will get better eventually. They have before. And there is a comfort in inertia, since we all hate change. Your therapist would probably tell you that, too.

Hang in there, my friend. You're getting better, one day at a time...:hi:

Rhiannon:hug:

45. Good quote, and you're right, my friend.
My parents always made it a point to say that I had a problem with change, as a small child. What else did they expect from me? :crazy: Anyway, I understand where you are, my friend, and it sounds to me like you're coping, and pretty well. Please know I'm thinking of you, and sympathizing... :hi: I have two dogs who need care, so I continue to get out of bed...:shrug:

44. In a much better place today
putting myself first

just a better frame of mind

moving on, not dwelling, allowing my feelings to be, talking to good friends here, letting go (with claw marks no doubt)

I'm feeling free at the moment

:hi:

Thanks everyone for all the support
