Jenny1234 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Today I woke up and I had a Save the Date in my mailbox...a text from my friend with a picture of her brand baby she just had .... A random online dating match with a goofy kid I knew years ago I stopped for a moment and thought...why the hell am I living MY life in a place of limbo... I deserve all good things in life too ... I dont deserve to be sitting on sidelines obsessing over my ex. He isn't even worthy of my thoughts. I'm on day 4 of my reestablished NC. We broke up 3 months ago and I've been torturing myself with breadcrumbs and texting him. And I finally couldn't take it anymore. I may not be over him or ready to run away with another man yet. But hey I feel stronger today. Usually all those reminders of other people's lives going great would have put me over the top but not today because I know I am a good person. I do deserve the best. And I finally have the faith to know I will get it someday! Happy weekend! And TRY to stay positive 2
Philosoraptor Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 That's a nice wakeup call there. Every moment you spend obsessing over someone who's gone is just another moment further away memories like those are for you.
Leegh Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I understand how you feel, but I think you have not seen the full picture yet. I do not wish your friends any ill-will, but several years down the road, for example, (although I hope not) your friend who just had a baby could be going through a bad time, and you could be in a great relationship, and have other great things going for you. My point is that things change, situations change, people get married/divorced etc., nothing stays the same. Things will take a turn for the better for you soon.

That's a good reminder that everyone else's lives are not all roses. Everyone has their problems. I've been to 15 weddings in the last 2 years...the divorce rate is 50/50 so give some of those time! I know that sounds harsh but it does help sometimes !
