Eisenhower Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Loveshack has been a great place for me to vent and seek comfort by other souls wounded by the pain of a breakup. My thanks for that. I think I'm going to move on, however, as it seems like dwelling on this forum might, after a certain point, just keep the pain on your mind. I've made progress in one regard, but not in another. Around Christmas, when I learned my ex was with a new guy (after having strung me along for months), I was determined to get out here. I moved here for a job 7 years ago and for the year and a half we were together, she was all that was keeping me here. So around the first of the year, I applied for a job across the country and also applied to get into an Ivy League grad school, also across the country. To my great surprise, I got both! So, I evaluated my options and finally decided to go to grad school. I'll be here for another 4 months however, but at least I now have my ticket out! That's the good news. The bad news is she's still on my mind every day, and it's been a full year now since we broke up (just about 4 months since I found out she was with someone new though). Granted, we work at the same place, so I'm constantly trying to avoid running into her (or him), so I can't really get away from "it." But it scares me to the core that it's taking so long to shake this, and I wonder if I ever will. I think as long as I'm in this town, in this apartment, in this job, I honestly never will. My only hope is that a complete change of scenery and of my life will shake me up and get her out of my head. I know it takes time, but it frightens and depresses me how long it's taking. To the people who were so nice to me on this forum, thanks. I know we're all going through pain, and I know it's simply part of the human condition. I just wish I was one of those who could shake off a lost love with relative ease. Unfortunately, I'm not. I don't know what the future will hold, but I'm certain I'll face it a different person because of this, and I can't help but feeling some of the luster of life is gone because of this pain. All the best to all of you, friends. May you all (and me too) meet someone worthy of your love. Eisenhower
USMCHokie Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Alright man, best of luck to you! I certainly hope that one day you find your way back to us...you know you're always welcome...
D-Lish Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Hey E. I know what it's like to dwell. I also stayed away from LS for a couple months some time ago after I felt I was dwelling too much. A change of scenery will do you good. Good luck!
