chryssy83 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 This isn't the first time we've broken up....before, he always came back. Even this time, he tried to come back but wouldn't talk about what exactly had happened. So I needled him about it until he finally said he's just done. And we haven't talked since. I know that I love him and I believe that we could be happy together. I can't imagine finding someone else I care about so much. BUT...I can imagine that there might just be someone out there who is better at caring for me. I feel like maybe that seems conceited--like, I'm great and there are a lot of guys who would want to date me, but I don't know how many will be what I want. But it's how I feel right now. I don't know if he will call again. I don't know what I would do if he did. I want him to be happy so badly, and I just couldn't do that for him. He listed off a bunch of things he wants to do that we didn't do together, but most of it is shallow stuff--things college kids go out and do. I'm ready for an adult life, commitment, relationship. What do I do now? I feel numb and kind of lost. I would do anything to make things work with him but I guess that's not an option anymore. But I can't imagine dating and I don't know how that works for adults since I met this guy when I was 21. Any thoughts out there for me?
justaman99 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 There's nothing conceited about thinking that there's someone else that suits you better than your ex. It's totally normal. You feel you deserve more in a partner than he could give so get out there and find someone that will. It's a totally reasonable thought. -Just
