Good Advice. I can say there are many positive messages on this site, yours included. Maybe someday I can feel that way too. Thanks

good post ecm. it is a huge relief when the lightbulb goes off and you realize the spell has been broken over the ex. i did the same thing as you when i got my heart broken into pieces, sat around depressed all the time. took me about a year of my own personal living hell. than when i slowly startd getting out again, i realized, there are people out there who really are intersted in me! who will give me the 100% i deserve. not just 50%. or 25%. or even less.
now i work with my ex gf (total d*ck). so i have to see her around. she will disppear and then pop back into my life out of the blue, like its all cool again and we are supposed to be buddies. that confused me for quite some time. it extended my misery. now that my lightbulb finally went off, i dont plan on falling for that again. why should i waste one more minute of my time, that i can never get back, on someone who just wants to play games! it is a total waste of my time! period.

The real moment of "haha" will be when she realizes that YOU were the catch, not her. ha ha ha ha. And its too late now!

You will. I didn't think I would either. Look at al the crappy things going on in the world! People are dealing with way worse, ya know? And when you get back to feeling you'll (hopefully) learn what NOT to do next time.

Yes, of course you do! Everyone has the RIGHT to mope...but look a the question you asked. You gave 150, the other person gave 50. Why, why, why would we mope about THAT?

ps don't get me wrong, I have moped all over town. I just hope for future moping frenzies, I'll be moping over NEW mistakes
