Hi LSers,

 

I have come back here after a week of hard study, and reading some of these posts has made me feel just a bit set back compared to where I was this morning. I'm not sure if anyone else feels that a bit when coming on here? I know this is an amazing advice forum but I think it is equally as important to share the brilliant, as well as the bad.

 

So I think we should start posting to each other what successes we have had since our break up; as independent people who do not need our exes. This way we can all remind ourselves how strong we are on our own. How have we all progressed? We need to look at where we were and where we are now. So what have you achieved? What has made you feel good?

 

I will start. 4 months later... I've applied for more jobs, I have got a LOT of attention from guys, changed my hair and feel brilliant, got into working out and squatting, had amazing grades back from some college work, enjoyed numerous nights out as a single lady, sat around the house in my scruffs (how AMAZING it is to not have to dress up every day!!), I have invested in some gorgeous clothes and amazing make up.... Along with plenty other things!

 

Keep your head up guys! There is so much more fun to come.

I think your idea of posting the good is brilliant!! I will share as well. I am 7 months out of my relationship. It was 15 years long and we were high school sweethearts. It took me by surprise, but it was THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED!!!! Yes I have my hard days, though they are now few and far between. And yes there are memories. But you are right we are strong, we are independent.

 

I have moved out on my own into a wonderful apartment. I able to reconnect with myself and friends and have realized that I do not need to rely on my BF to have a good time. I can have more fun without him. I am more focused at work, I am less stressed in life. And I am excited about the future.

 

I truly feel I have dodged a HUMONGOUS bullet and I am so thankful for that!! Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it takes a while to figure it out, but there is a reason. I do not know the reason yet for my breakup. But I feel like there is a really good one and someday I will know. Right now, I am just enjoying my freedom :D
