I agree with this. I disagree that any move is necessary. If you use a little self-discipline, firstly, it would never have gotten to this level of obsession in an unrequited scenario, next, it's very possible to get over someone, even seeing them daily.

 

This is true too. No one belongs on a pedestal.

If spookie is a one man woman, I agree. I'm not convinced she is though. I think spookie is obsessed because she can't get him. If she did, I think he'd be road kill unless she can change her interest in emotionally unavailable men.

 

I think I am. My ex that brought me here: I was in love with him, and we had an actual relationship for three years until he dumped me. Then it took me two more (during which I turned all those guys into roadkill) to get over him.

 

I'm a one-man woman, for sure. It just takes the right man.

 

I think MN randomguy is right. About all that he's said about me.

 

Truth be told... despite the glaring evidence to the contrary, a tiny bit of hope within me STILL isn't dead that one of these days I'll come to work to find out I've been transferred, and that Jack wants to ask me out on a date.

 

It's feasible. Not likely. But not impossible in the same way that Wes and I getting back together was after all that had happened between us.

 

If I could just let go of this hope, I think I'd be able to move on. Even still seeing him every day, I'd be able to move on. But until June 30, 2009, when I find out for sure that I'm not getting a transfer... I'm stuck here emotionally. And I guess y'all will hear a lot more of my whining.

 

June 30th is the deadline, though. After that, I'm putting all of this behind me.

Just for the record, it doesn't feel like I settled. It feels like I went for one thing at the expense of another. Like if you bought a house because it had a great back yard but it was missing a kitchen. Or if you hired an employee because he could do calculus in his head, but he didn't know how to read.
