nowwhatnow Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 hey LS, i have been broken up now for almost 6 months and I am still in love with him and still holding on to hope that when i get back from working abroad he will want me back. i figured that the more time went on the less and less i would still be hoping for this. but i guess absence really does make the heart grow stronger (well at least for me...maybe not so much for him). what should i do? i just really want him to come back to me sincerely, still confused and still so hurt and still pining
PowerOfOne Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hey, I went back through some of your other threads but couldn't glean much out of your story. I will say this though. Of all the second chance stories I've seen, read or experienced - it only seems to happen when you've moved on. When your own life is the focus of your day. When you are a complete person with or without a SO. Now I'm not saying that this is something that happens overnight, but it certainly should be the goal. In time you get there. A lot of us want our exes to come back and for various reasons. Some out of fear of being alone. Some to appease the feelings of rejection. Some because they can't let go of the dream of a happy family. And I could go on. But after all is said and done, they left. They walked away from us and we have to accept that and move on with our lives. We can't pine over them for the rest of our lives because, well, what a waste!! Somebody great could be just around the corner who will cherish and adore us for the rest of our lives! You never know who you might bump into tomorrow.
Author nowwhatnow Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 thank you. its feels nice to have someone write out such a thoughtful response. i want to want to be over it. but at the same time i do not. it is just really hard. i feel like i should be over it by now, because it has been so long but it is not true. i really really loved him, and still do, despite the fact he walked away. i can not help but think that when i get home in 4 months he is going to tell me what a mistake he made. and that is just setting myself up for more hurt. somedays are harder than other, but on the whole im a lot better than i was 5 months ago. just still waiting for him.
