lailax3 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Since I implented no contact, I've been on casual dates and pretty much kept busy. Week one was a little difficult. Week two was easily done. Majority of this week was great too, but this morning I had a little cry. From my casual dates and mingling with men, I've started to miss my ex and how he mentally stimulated me. I cried this morning because I felt like I'll never find someone who 'gets me' like he did. I've had breakups before, relationships longer than this, and I've never felt this way before. I kinda thought maybe he ended things with me in favour of GIGS, but the real reason, whatever it may be doesn't matter. Yes I was the one who repeatedly contacted him whilst he ignored me, and then didn't answer his call when he did react, but since he didn't contact me since then, his call was probably just for him to get the last say in. It's been 5 weeks since the breakup so I don't doubt that it's over for good. I just feel I won't come across anyone else who made me feel like he did.
Simon Phoenix Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 You are dating way too soon. Allow yourself time to grieve and move forward in other ways first before you date. You aren't ready to be intermingling with men yet. 4
JustAReformedGirl Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 You're going through a grieving process. And even though you've never experienced it quite to this level with anyone else, it may just mean you didn't connect with your previous exes as much as you did with this one. Take time to heal; don't be ashamed of what you're feeling. When you need to cry, cry. If you need to vent, be angry, scream, or pre-occupy yourself, let it happen. It's perfectly normal, and it will help you come to terms with things. And sorry, but what does GIGS stand for? 1

GIGS would probably imply he is a musician and playing shows and didn't really have time for their relationship? 1

Where did you come up with that? GIGS is "Grass Is Greener Syndrome" and it's when young people, usually in long-term relationships, want to break up with who they are with to see what else is out there. 2

Shoot, I just read that in the pinned note today, too. Thanks. Also common in people (any age) who have limited experience dating. 1
