Dlyrica Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Hey all, Well I broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years about 2 days ago. It wasn't one of those things where I'm over him or anything it was just a last resort. I still love him a lot and I feel pretty heartbroken myself even though I'm the one that ended the relationship(does that make sense?) Anyhow, my friends invited me to go to the beach for a few days to get my mind off things. The only thing is that I would miss a day of class. Do ya'll think this is a good idea or will I feel even lonlier being so far away? Any advice is good. Thanks!
lofi_tokyo Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I think you'll feel lonely regardless of if you're at home or away at the beach. Missing one day of classes can't hurt! Take some time to do something really wonderful!! And you know what else? Even if you start hurting uncontrollably and just want to fall to pieces - your friends will be with you, and they can pick you up! Honestly, I think this sounds like a great idea. You deserve a vacation for getting out of a relationship like the one you were in, especially since you still love him, and its obvious leaving him when you still love him takes a lot of guts. Just my opinion though
Trialbyfire Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 OP, not to be mean but isn't that like asking us whether you should have baloney or tuna sandwiches for lunch after breakup, because your ex liked baloney sandwiches? Do whatever makes sense to you. If you want to go to the beach, do it. If you don't, don't.
Author Dlyrica Posted November 20, 2008 Author Posted November 20, 2008 I dont understand what you mean with the sandwich analogy...lol
frd150 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Whats the alternative? Being lonely at home while your friends are at the beach? Go, Go, Go!! Stay busy. "Idle hands are the devils tool" Have fun
Melrapuo Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I dont understand what you mean with the sandwich analogy...lol I think what Trial is trying to say is that you should choose whatever you want to do because you want to do it, not because of how you think it would be based on your feelings for your ex, or your ex's feelings. Go if you want to go for your own sake. If you think it would be a bad idea, then don't go. Can't live your life based around someone else.
quankanne Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 go be with your friends, but make sure to get whatever assignments you need for class from a classmate or even the prof (*ahem* I've been known to stretch the truth and get it ahead of time from the prof if I knew I was going to be out. The trick to pulling it off is to be confident, and to not reveal anything ... you can always say there are family problems you need to get a handle on, and that you plan to be back to class the next time it meets. Not exactly the truth, but not really a lie!) ... sometimes, it's more important to get your head together than try to function half-assedly doing a regular routine.
