JaggedRoad Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I wish I found this site sooner than I did, but I'm glad I found it despite being one month late. This site is a very good place to find comfort among those who share your pain, and it's probably the only place to go on the Internet when you have run out of other options (if you had any to begin with). I tried to leave this place at least once already, but I came back because I just wasn't ready to let go. It is now 5 months since the end of my relationship. I still find myself reminiscing and reliving the memories I shared with her, but now I force myself to stop because it's just not something that I want to do anymore. What ifs are still something I wonder about, but I try hard to stop myself. I do my best to accept things as I know them to be, and find ways to change what I need to change. It's not easy and it's only an uphill battle from here, but at least I know that it's not pointless. There is one important question that I continue to ask myself and that is what I will do if she ever contacts me in this life time. I come to realize that the best choice would be to just sit down with her to discuss things, and go on from there. But then again, this is just one of those what ifs. I have very little faith left in what we shared, and it is very unlikely that we will ever hear even a whisper about one another in just a few more months. Everything will just fade into memory and that's where we belong. I didn't want things to turn out like this and this is probably true for her as well, but this is what happened. I don't like having to accept this, but this is life. I find myself visiting LS less and less, so I think it may be best for me if I take my leave. Thank you for reading my story, giving me advice, comforting me when I needed it most, and being just great. I don't know if I gave any decent advice to anyone here, but I hope what advice I gave did not mess anyone up. I hope I can return one day with a good story for once, and have this situation far behind me. But until then, I bid you all adieu. Good luck with whatever it is that you want to find in life.
DenverBachelor Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I hope I can return one day with a good story for once, and have this situation far behind me. But until then, I bid you all adieu. Good luck with whatever it is that you want to find in life. So you're going NC on us, too? Take care brother. I wish you the best. You'll be fine. Don't get discouraged from the small step backs you'll encounter -- they're normal and a part of the very long healing process. Best of luck to you. You will be missed.
Odyssey Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 You can always hold a place in your heart for an ex, but don't live in that place. Open yourself and your heart to everything else life has to offer you. Take the risk. Try new things. Time will tell. All the best JaggedRoad.
Meaplus3 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Hi JR. I just want to say something here. While it may seem like things are real rough for you right now, you can and WILL pull yourself out of this. Healing takes time for us all. And it's a natural part of life when we lose something that is and was very dear to us. So, if you feel it's time to go only you know best. But, do consider the fact that often venting aout your feelings can help. I wish you all the very best. Mea:)
bluestraps Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I dont know you , good luck . But like my great grandma used to say...." I'ts gonna be hard, and it aint gonna be easy" Go get 'em bro
HeavenOrHell Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 All the best to you JR, I hope you find happiness
USMCHokie Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Good luck Jagged. Thanks for your insights while I was struggling through coping.

LovelyDaze Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 So you're going NC on us, too? Take care brother. I wish you the best. You'll be fine. Don't get discouraged from the small step backs you'll encounter -- they're normal and a part of the very long healing process. Best of luck to you. You will be missed. LOL, DB! Jagged Road, we have had discussions before and I am glad you are coming to a place that you will walk down the path to being healed. Hope you come back on here bragging that you have found the love of your life...they are waiting for you, but of course you already know that! Good Luck!
Dark_of_the_Moon Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Best wishes to you! I will miss you and do hope you will drop back in someday with some wonderful news for us!!
mickleb Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Aw, Jagged! I can't tell you happy I am to read how determined you are to heal, here. You are inspiring. But I will miss the caring, sensitive, eloquent person who helped me to regain my faith in men, at a time when I really needed to do that! I will look for any future posts from you (be so good to see your name pop up in the dating section, at some point in the future ). All the very best to you, sweetie.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise, You were only waiting for this moment to arise, You were only waiting for this moment to arise x
