uniqueone Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 The guy I'm upset over is very intelligent, successful, travels all the time to exotic locales, and has plenty of women to date whenever he wants and he dates them all. He's also athletic and attractive. Me...I'm very intelligent but not very successful, haven't traveled much (can't afford to and don't have anyone to go with). I'm athletic but I don't compete like he does so I don't have anything concrete to show for it and I'm attractive (nothing stunning though). While there is so much that I liked about him, he treated me badly at times and was never apologetic. And how it ended was very mean on his part and yet he is the one angry and blaming me. And yet here he goes back to his life of fun, travel and women fawning over him and I go back to......sadness. This really bothers me most of all. They say the best revenge is living well but what if THEY'RE the ones living well? This alone has led me to despair. Is it that those who are more selfish and less compassionate are the ones who get ahead in the world? And are they're the ones who can move from person to person because they don't have deep emotions? Regardless, I feel like I've failed in all areas of my life and they've won.
BeyondThePale Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 It doesn't matter what he's doing or how well he lives his life. The only thing that matters is that it's over and you can't do anything about it but move forward with your own life. Being envious of how he's living his life is the same as being envious for how anybody else lives there life. Figure out what it is that you want out of life and go get it, focus on that for now if you can.
