McGriff Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Oh man, I haven't been back here for awhile, thought I'd update my situation. So much has changed. If you read my previous posts , I was going through BU, and then breadcrumb hell, was dating a few nice girls, but nothing really clicked UNTIL... I recently reconnected with an old friend from years ago. We've been inseparable ever since. And I thought I'd never meet anyone better than the ex. The ex STILL sends me a text every couple weeks, but she has no idea as of yet that I've completely moved on. I find that I go days/weeks without even thinking about her. My new girlfriend is such a wonderful and caring person. No games, no bullsh*t, and that's all so refreshing. It does get better. Get out there, meet people, move on. Life is full of people willing to put YOU on a pedestal. I couldn't be happier. My new girl just booked us a trip to Hawaii. I was blown away. Sends me cards in the mail, just because. The ex is just a memory now. 13
Echo000 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 so glad for you man. im taking the same path hopefully. your right, putting yourself out there is key. There are so many people better than the ex, people who actually will treat you the way you ought to be treated. We lose sight of that when we go through a break up. and we lose sight of that when we sit at home, fixate on an ex who doesnt even care about you, and lose opportunities to meet other men/women. 2
mtnbiker3000 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Glad you are moving on, but I advise serious caution my man. I know it seems like bliss, but you haven't been with her long enough to really know the dealio. You are still deep in the Honeymoon Stage. Everything is awesome in the HS... You're going 100mph. Slow 'er down a bit You don't want to end up hurt again so soon. Again, caution, Mr. Hawaii 1
StraylightRun24 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 That's awesome to hear McGriff. Glad things are working out with the new girl!
Author McGriff Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 Glad you are moving on, but I advise serious caution my man. I know it seems like bliss, but you haven't been with her long enough to really know the dealio. You are still deep in the Honeymoon Stage. Everything is awesome in the HS... You're going 100mph. Slow 'er down a bit You don't want to end up hurt again so soon. Again, caution, Mr. Hawaii I have thought about this obviously, but the thing is we've already known each other for 15 years. We were always just unavailable to each other due to being in relationships. She reached out out of the blue and it just so happens that we are both available. She really is amazing, and SO different from the ex, in all the right ways. Now having said that, I ain't getting married anytime soon. We just have that base friendship, and are aware of doing things the right way. I haven't thrown caution to the wind, but in reference to this board, I've been able to free myself from the grips of sorrow, regret, wanting of the ex. I didn't think I would get there at times, but all the cliches I hated to hear ultimately were true. 4
