Blastoplast Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Dated my ex for 7 years before she broke it off after last April -- we were getting into marriage, children talks, our future... but financial strain and the "spark" being gone at the end really ended it for us (I think that spark fizzled because of the financial strain she was putting on me). I still think about her daily, wonder how she's doing and miss her in my life. I've told her explicitly that it's going to be hard for me to remain friends with her, that I love her too much -- however I asked that when the time is right for both of us to give us another shot, she agreed. I realize that time may never come... but since we've broken up I've finished my first semester of College, dropped 25 pounds (10-15 to go!), I've bedded a few woman and even dated one for about 3 months (we were both rebounds) and that REALLY built up my confidence. All I can really do is better myself as a person, build up my confidence and keep moving forward. I know it's not easy people, but sometimes life throws you a curve and you have to deal with it as best as possible. I can honestly say that if my EX didn't break up with me I likely wouldn't have lost all that weight, nor would I have re-enrolled in college. So while this break-up has been emotionally exhausting to me, I've made the best I could out of a negative situation. I still love my EX with all my heart and I can still hope for a reconciliation in the future, but neither of us are in a place right now to give us another shot. For now I'm living my own life and keeping my options open and trying my best to be as open and creative to anything that comes my way. It's just amazing how fast time flies, even under extreme duress! To all people in the gutter, keep your chin up. Good things WILL happen if you keep TRUE to yourself! 3
