mtnbiker3000 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Anyone else feeling a little low remembering this holiday from years past with their ex??
youngbutoldsoul Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Yes, I thought I was the only one getting the triggers today. While I'm at home still broken hearted, my ex is out with someone new probably smooching under the fireworks sky.
frostythesnowman Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Yep, today is particularly hard because she went on vacation for the 4th with me and my family a couple years ago and here I am at the same place without her. Too many good memories
andilyn1 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Totally can relate. And July 4th is also my birthday, so a double whammy for me. Definitely had an emotional day.
travelonic Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Big time - last year my ex and I spent the day together took a day trip with a few of her friends, we spent the time up there together - and it was just .... awesome...
aloneinaz Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Well, I woke up thinking of the ex and the holiday. 5 weeks NC since break up. I've been dating for the past two weeks. I had a date lined up and she canceled at 3pm. Talk about feeling depressed. I had no other plans for the day/night. I had the same thought as the others. My ex is probably with another guy already and they are going to the fireworks together. Man, i felt low for 30 minutes. Then another girl that I'd dated a couple of years ago had contacted me and I agreed to meet with her for a drink tonight. SSOO happy to not have to sit home alone on the 4th. We met for drinks, had some pizza and then went back to her place for our own version of fireworks. Wow.. I'd forgotten how good she was in the bedroom. She was very nice and we both knew we were only there to service each other. It was still very nice afterward, the cuddling, closeness and conversation. It sure beat staying at home, feeling lonely, letting my mind spin on what my toxic ex was up too not that I should really care. Hopefully a little more time and she'll be fully out of my system.
BLo7687 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Yup. Last year I spent it with him and his family watching fireworks. And this year...I was home most of the day and just ended up going to a new friend's house to eat and watch fireworks. Boring. It just didn't feel the same.
miffymars Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Really wish I wasn't but yes it's been weeks of NC and it doesn't help that he's appearing in my dreams. It's been really hard recently.
hotpotato Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Yes...Fourth of July was our first date. It was so romatic. We had instant chemistry. We were all over each other. We went to the beach and saw the fireworks show. Good thing is, it rained all night. The day wasnt as triggery as it could have been!
Nicoleiia Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Yea...it did trigger hatred lol I hope my ex and the new fiance had a great time...NOT!
