It's been a week since I broke up with my girlfriend because she cheated on me. She is back on Guam right now, where we grew up, for a vacation.

 

What I've been doing with my time since then:

 

>> Packed up her stuff and put it away out of my sight;

 

>> Hanging with coworkers

 

>> Drinking more but meeting more people

 

>> Seeing live bands at bars

 

>> I even got a girl's number to see if I still "got it."

 

Then I started thinking, "Wow, I'm finding out me again, at least who I was before I intertwined my life with hers. It feels pretty good, and there's hope after all."

 

Then she drunk dials me the other night, begging for me to see her when I go back to Guam myself, and telling me that she really misses me and that the whole breakup and messy affair didn't hit her until now.

 

Of course, I told her I don't think she's ready to see me again, and I don't think either of us can get over what had happened.

 

But all day at work, all I thought about was her. *sigh* It was getting better before I went right back to square 1. And I can't ignore her calls. I still care for her and I want to make sure it's not some emergency. Argh.

You are too hard on yourself. She made the bad decisions so she should pay for them. That's life my friend.

Hiya Jack. Sorry you're having a downer. They come and go my friend (I'm same place too this evening). It's only been a week. It does get easier as time passes. The sad days get fewer and further between (so I am told). Just take care of yourself and don't answer her calls. If she has an emergency, she has to deal with it. It's not your place to take care of her now.
