TaraMaiden Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 No, sorry....not me.... I was listening to a song on the radio, by Adele titled Someone like you And it occurred to me that this situation was actually quite pitiful. Her ex- has obviously moved on completely from their past relationship. So much so that, in fact, he seems to have met another woman, courted her, married, settled down and may even soon start a family. Given the usual run of things, this would therefore be taking place at around....ooooh, say... 3 to 5 years after their final break-up? The song may seem desperately mournful and romantic to many, and possibly even highly meaningful, but in reality, clinging to a past relationship like this is a waste of a single lifetime. It's self-destructive, soul-destroying, and chiefly, completely inhibiting. fancy wasting anything up to 5 years still harbouring thoughts of this nature. I mean, really....This - "I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it, I had hoped you'd see my face, And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over, " - Isn't healthy, at all, is it? "....for me, it isn't over"....? For how much longer? And what must he be thinking? Is she now stalking him? What must his wife feel, to know that this woman, from her husband's past (and obviously history!) is suddenly showing a renewed interest? I know songs like these are meant to tug at the heartstrings, and many will tragically equate with her feelings, but really - breaking it down, isn't it just a little bit insane? 1

Is she now stalking him?? in answer to your question.. yes it is lol and thank you for wording it so bluntly and humorously i choked on my coffee its also sad i hope she isn't singing from personal experience.
Emilia Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 completely agree. I hope only the minority experience such obsessive behaviour. you can have a soft spot for someone for the rest of your life but strong emotions should disappear

I cannot not laugh at it. I'm quite a fan of Adele's and she's strong in the delivery of that song, but man. I can relate but girl, you need to move on! I'm not even thinking about the wife in this instance (but maybe it's because you're nicer than I am ), I'm just thinking about the self-preservation of Adele's perspective.
D78 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 ...Her ex- has obviously moved on completely from their past relationship.

Given the usual run of things, this would therefore be taking place at around....ooooh, say... 3 to 5 years after their final break-up? I can't help but think of LS posts with the subject "MY EX IS ENGAGED 3.5 SECONDS AFTER DUMPING ME!!!!!!!!" If it's a LS situation, this might have happened in a matter of weeks I interpreted the song to say 'I showed up hoping you would fall back in love with me, but never mind, that's dumb, I'll find someone else.' But, I'm optimistic to a fault. If a heart being torn in two made a noise, I think it would be Adele's voice. Glad to see you're not the one not coping, TaraMaiden
