sedgwick Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 For the very first time since he left me, I got dressed up and went out and danced. I was only able to stay in the club for about half an hour before I freaked out and wanted to be alone, but I did it. I dressed up, I went, I danced, I came home. Did I cry on the subway? A little. But I did it. And I also bought a new comforter today. I wanted bedding he had never slept in. I'm tossing the old out tomorrow. It will be good to let it go.
quankanne Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 WAY TO GO, SEDG! I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there, even though you suspected it might be hard
Keridan Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Good for you! Keep up the small steps and soon you will find yourself having a good time all night without stressing it! I don't know your story, but from what you have here, you got the right idea. Getting back out there is the best way to move on from heartbreak. All the best and congrats
Ariadne Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I also bought a new comforter today. I wanted bedding he had never slept in. I'm tossing the old out tomorrow. It will be good to let it go. ................
carhill Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I guess the day may come where I'll have to take dance lessons Good on ya for embracing what you love and getting out there. Every journey begins with the first step

I'm tossing the old out tomorrow. It will be good to let it go. Let it out, darlin'. Once it's gone, it's gone. Start living, one day at a time. It's gonna get easier but let it happen. Don't fight it anymore. You're a brave girl and we're all really proud of you. xxxx:) And fresh linen! Oh, I can smell the crispness, now!!! Good girl!!
jerbear Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hey Sedg, good to detox and do move forward! Hey Carhill, when it comes to dancing you are not doing the RIGHT step.
Treasa Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 GOOD JOB!!!! W00T! I'm very proud of you. So when is your book coming out? I'm looking forward to buying it.
Author sedgwick Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks! I am too! It still seems like a million years away.

I still find when I go out with friends to bars or that, I still sometimes can't really enjoy myself 100% either.
Author sedgwick Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Yeah, a guy came up and took my hand and started dancing with me, and I really didn't like it. He was totally polite (though drunk), but I wasn't attracted to him at all and I wanted my ex a whole lot right then.
tealeafbud Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Way to go, Sedge. Nice to be out there and having fun!
Lizzie60 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 you go girl.. good for you.. keep doing stuff by yourself.. I love to go out on Sunday morning for a nice breakfast somewhere.. new clothes or new stuff for the house is good therapy ...
Author sedgwick Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, it's amazing how much my new bedding has changed my room and my attitude. I bagged up my old comforter and the pillowcases on which I had a picture of him sleeping and threw them in the trash. It really felt good. I still miss him a lot -- sometimes it seems like he should still be sleeping in my bed. But I know that's never going to happen and I just have to try and deal with it. He's at an old-time festival right now that happens the last week in August every year. He's no doubt surrounded by hot fiddle players. I'm trying not to think about the possibility of him coming home with a new gf.
borelandkaren Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 . He's no doubt surrounded by hot fiddle players. quote] No doubt he's fiddling with himself!!:lmao:
Prodigal Princess Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 No doubt he's fiddling with himself!!:lmao: Too right mate!

XxBacktoBlackXx Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 No doubt he's fiddling with himself!!:lmao: [/Quote] LMAO!!! I nearly spit out what I was drinking when I read that!!! Sedge, I am so happy to hear that you are doing better!
Arise_Serpentor Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 keep making those changes!!! i would even rearrange the furniture and change what you can without going broke! new wallpaper, curtains, whatever! maybe even a new shower curtain!
motive2002 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 One day sedg, you'll be thinking about who you're meeting and thoughts of who he's meeting won't even cross your mind. One thing I can promise you is that you won't experience the love you really deserve until you shed yourself of the ex forever. Forward is the only direction to move in, because that's where your future is.
justaman99 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Try and make a plan to go out again in the next week or so. Just for a couple hours. Do something that you haven't done before. Go listen to some music even if it's by yourself, have a drink grab a bite to eat. Just keep movin! I am happy for you. -Just
