I said I missed him.

He said he missed me too but we "have" to get over each other.

Bad idea...

Ouch!
Now stick to NC...pleeease.

Don't beat yourself up too much. Maybe a little but don't leave any marks ;-)

"Bad idea" doesn't tell me so much. Why was it a bad idea? What led up to the contact? What happens next time you are heading in that direction?

Details! I want details!

Obviously you learned from this one, huh? Now get back up on that pony and ride into the sunset.

Hang in there!

I saw him online and I said hi...

Why is harder. Part of me doesn't want to get over him... I just kind of want things to be back the way they were.

Anyway it was a bad idea because when we started talking he kept bringing up things we did together...which I don't ever do. And I was like oh, I don't really remember that...and he kept saying specific things to remind me of that time...so then I said I guess I just tried to forget some stuff. And he said I would never want to do that, but I wish I did some things differently. I asked him what, and he said of course he wishes he never would have broken up with me. Then he said he thought I was the love of his life, and he is so mad at himself for ruining something so good. And he really wishes he could have been everything I thought he was. But he feels like it's too late because now he has created this huge problem that can never be fixed.

Then of course I started crying.

It's like it's back to the beginning...back to thinking about him every day...

This sucks. I miss him.

Sounds like the 20% is bigger than the 80%.....

Either that, or you're lying to yourself.
I suspect it's the latter.....

He broke up with you, because he doesn't want to go out with you any more.

Sad, but true.... it's all the reason you need, so focus on that, and leave him alone.
keep picking at that scab, and making it bleed, and you'll end up with an indelible scar.............

I think its very uncool that he said this to you! WTF. I am sorry you had to hear this. I know I would be terribly hurt/frustrated if I were you.

HUGS to you girl. Don't pay his words any mind, because they are meaningless now. He's just saying these things without thinking, he broke up with you and thats it. Don't talk to him anymore.

Weasel-words. This guy is a jackass. He reeled you in with words of love and talking about the good ol' days but did you notice the subtle blame-shifting he does? : Had YOU not thought so highly of him blah blah blah.

Not really subtle from the outside but I'm sure it mindf&*$d you quite nicely hence the tears, huh?

This guy is 100% LOSER. He's weak, he's a coward, and he has no love and respect for you. Don't look back- you lost a boy NOT a man.

You deserve FAR better.

Okay- say this in unison with me: "NEXT!"

There! Now don't you feel better?

I hope you do, hon, i hope you do.

You'll be okay. You learned that dealing with this clown causes you pain. Remember this lesson the next time you feel lonesome. Call a friend or IM a friend next time okay?

Okay!

Okay!

But where do I go from here? I feel like I will never have the feelings that I had with him ever again with anyone else and that's what makes me want to talk to him...

If he broke up with me there is something wrong with me and nobody will ever like me again
