Glove_slap Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I'm on the verge of forgetting this girl. It still hurts sometimes but it's a faded memory, our three year relationship and the horrible break up of course. (left me for another man weeks after). I have a microsoft word file with a list of things I'm not going to think about. The list is about ten pages long and all of it are memories that we used to share, memories that she no longer remembers, memories I hope one day I will no longer remember. We've been broken up for about a year and four months and I find that this has helped me A LOT. Whenever I remember a memory, thought or even something that she once said to me I write it on the file and save it and forget about it. I often add things to the list and whenever I scroll around I become surprised at all the things that I no longer remember or think about. Try it, it works for me it may or may not work for you.
rosie72 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I find this interesting.. but as much as trying to forget those things, arent you also preserving them forever? How does it make you feel when you look at the list? I would have thought it brings it all back again. And its so hard (ipossible i would say) to make yourself forget things - it all stays in there somehow. For me I kind of feel like I have to work through the feelings associated with my memories in order to make peace with them. But if this works for you, then thats good. I guess its not much different from keeping a journal (which i do)
