SimplyIzzy2010 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Today I took my little brother to his school to meet his teacher. To my misfortune I ran into my ex's new girlfriend's mom who doesn't like me at all, then I ran into the ex's mom, whom I used to love and who supposedly loved me. When she saw me, she didn't even show any sign of recognition. Then I saw her again and she kind of just nodded her head. I smiled and said hello, but nothing else. It hurt to be rejected by this lady who claimed I was the best thing to ever happen to her son, the one who used to ask us when we were gonna get married, and I can't help but wonder... Did he forget me like that too? Because she didn't seem to recognize me at first. I've been 4 months NC, the ex broke up with me a year ago then strung me along until he completely left me for this girl he is with now. What I want to know is, will it ever get better? I don't want to feel like this anymore. I don't want to remember him, wonder what he's doing, and wonder why her? I've looked online for some inspiration but all I seem to find are stories about how people never seem to forget or get over their first loves. Does anybody out there have any inspirational stories about how you DID get over heartbreak and how you're better for it now? I need to hear something good. Today was a tough day.
Lyssa Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 SimplyIzzy, sorry that you're going this right now. I can tell you that it will get better. I went through a similar situation, his mother was really into me but after we broke up - she changed. It hurt a lot. Given time, you'll see that it wasn't worth pondering over. I hope it gets better for you day by day.
Dmoney28 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 wow, i read your story, and our break ups have been the same legnth...also 4 months of NC for me . Everyone says it gets better over time. And honestly....do you feel better now, than lets say 6 months ago. I know i feel alot better, though i still carry around some saddness and i still think about her most days. So i guess some progress is better than none. I guess there is no magic number for getting over you're first love. My dad still thinks fondly of is ex gf...from like 25 years ago!!!! Granted he dosent pine over her, just thinks about her from time to time., So i guess while the pain and constant wondering about them does fade over the years...its never 100% gone. Scarry huh. But i guess when we find other people, it does speed that time up. I know my ex has a BF now...and it still feels wierd knowing that. I mean, somone who you were with for years, who you were so close with...is having that same intamacy with another person. But thats life i guess. And we'll be with someone else, and have that same intamacy as well. But just not the same. So hang in there girl...im in that same boat with you...the storm will eventually calm ( god, i'm so sick of these corny "get over it and move on" analogies and metaphors, lol)....and her parents really dont like me
