Stephie Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Why am I still here, its going on 5 months yes I still can't get it out of my head we will be together again, yes we still have contact and I find its more him than me now. I never answer his calls though I sometimes respond with a text. I met a wonderful guy a week ago, he is sweet, goodlooking, and seems to adore me. During dinner last night I was staring at this man and I could feel myself start to drift trying to listen and make conversation when the whole time I was wishing he was my ex. I got in my car and lost it, ok so I know I'm no where near ready, my ex still has my heart and I need to focus on me, but rebounds aren't they suppose to help take your mind of your ex? At the same time I'm so afraid of hurting someone I guess that I wont let anyone in. I don't ever want to inflict the pain I'm feeling on someone else. My friends/family everyone I confide in tells me live for yourself live day to day and have fun. Stop all contact and move on if its meant to be he will come back but I believe he will and maybe that's what stops me from letting go. They use to tell me he's coming back ya'll belong together this has now stopped as of a few weeks ago. Am I crazy I just want my life back?
BiAxident Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 No, you are not crazy. Rather, you are suffering from the same afflication which has inspired countless songs, novels, and movies. As for the "rebound" gentleman, just because you aren't getting married to the guy doesn't mean you can't keep him in your social circle. Casual dating is probably a very good thing, given your situation. It may not take your mind off of your ex, but it will at least provide a temporary distraction -- it beats sitting on the couch mulling over the old relationship.

All I can say hope dies last.
