thavens10 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Hello everyone. My name's Tim. Over the last few months I too had to come to this website to pour my heart out over a very difficult break-up. The post was titled "My Story". I thank everyone who offered me advice and I commend all those who come hear to get things off of their chest. During my explorations of the site, one poster (sadly I forget the name) started a thread asking if people who's love lives work out return to this site to discuss it, possibly to inspire hope. I figured I would come here to share some positive results of my own, because if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone. I went through a terrible break-up (feel free to read my previous post) and like many I felt that I would never be able to move on. But I took things one day at a time, tried to keep myself busy, and yes I broke NC a few times but did better with it than I expected I would. I started spending more time with a girl I have known for a while. We took our time so that it would not be a simple rebound affair. She has turned out to be a real sweetie, something my ex never really was. We are now in a relationship together, and since neither one of us could find teaching jobs in our home state, we both tried our luck in applying to a school on the other side of the country. We both got job offers and we will be moving out there together in a few weeks. Some may argue that we are moving too fast, and you certainly have the right to feel that way. But nonetheless, I am starting a brand new exciting chapter in my life with someone I care about. It will be a place and an adventure that I never experienced with my ex-gf, hence reminders will hopefully be few and far between. Thoughts of my ex still pop up from time to time, but that was largely due to how long we were together and how much I loved her. I am not posting this to revel in my situation. I am merely here to share a positive experience I had even after going through such a heartbreaking time. Things will work out in their own ways. You WILL get over your ex although you may carry a piece of him or her wherever you go. I'm nothing special, so if my luck can change and I could find the strength to get through my break-up and improve my life, anyone can. Good luck to all of you with recovering hearts. My heart and my support are with you. 4
