whichwayisup Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 http://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/letting-go-of-a-relationshipthat-doesnt-exist/ Funny thing, I know I've done this a few times in my teens and early 20's. Boy, reading this article certainly has brought up some feelings in me.. Think most can relate to this, a some point in their lives.. I can't be the only one! Thoughts? 1
Author whichwayisup Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Wow, 40+ views and no comments.. Guess I'm the only one who has ever had a one sided crush, thought more of the other person than they thought of me! Oh well.. Still an interesting link to read.
skywriter Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Hi WWIU, I just stumbled across your post. I think that I can relate to this regarding my getting involved in an A. I think it was safe, in that he was already committed to someone else. I didn't realise it at the time, of course. Having been with my H from the age of 19 yrs. until the age of 37, I was terrified of being rejected again. Please allow me to say, that I appreciate your post throughout this site. You do so in a fashion as to not put the posters in a defensive manner. It is well noted and it does open up helpful and constructive dialogue. Bless you.
Anela Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I can relate. You aren't the only one. (Only it did exist for a while.)

Thank you so much Skywriter..Today your words mean a lot to me .. Not ready to post details yet, just found out a family member of mine has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. It's weird, I was going to post this again, just to see if many think it relates to the affair setting and how quickly some OW/OM get thrown under the bus by MP. I look back, one crush I had in high school (so pathetic) this guy I had a crush on was 'nice' to me, I thought more of it. He would ask to borrow 5 bucks, bum a smoke from me ..Haha, I thought I was helping and being generous, kind hearted..when infact the guy was using me at times. He wasn't into me like that, yet I was convinced that he was and it was only a matter of time before he clicked back to me.. Ahh.. Kind of funny though.
Star Gazer Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Baggage Reclaim is an awesome site... I've gone there several times to re-read some very apropos entries. Good stuff.
Art_Critic Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Wow, 40+ views and no comments.. I read it 38 times.. I'm now having trouble letting go of this relationship. I can relate.. although only in my younger years.. once I figured out what I was doing was nuts I changed some of my unhealthy habits.
jerbear Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I've been there and done that. It was a waste of my time when I was younger. I hope to not repeat history.

Kind of funny though. s, bum a smoke from me ..Haha, I thought I was helping and being generous, kind hearted..when infact the guy was using me at times. He wasn't into me like that, yet I was convinced that he was and it was only a matter of time I am sorry to hear about your family member. When my ex-H decided left. I went into survival mode, and in doing so discovered that I could do some caregiving and house cleaning jobs along with my full time job. My first patient was in fact a Parkinson patient. I've had many other patients since her, however, I got so close to her, that she and I gave one another nicknames. I did everything with her, she was so much more than a patient to me. I loved her dearly and treasure the time I had with her. One thing inparticular I tried to do with her is to show her I needed her. This is one character I believe we all as human beings, need as a driving force to carry on, as long as we can. As for the crush, I relate to that as well. My crush in high school, finally gave me a chance with him at the drive in theater, in the back seat. He found out what a tease I was, because he was, way out of my league, at that time of my life. I got over him after that incident.
