SO as many of you know from my previous posts I broke up with my girlfriend of 1 year and 9 months. I have been seeing a counselor almost daily to try and re-discover who i am. She changed me so much in terms of what i liked, what was okay, and just everything. I had to go see a counselor.

 

This is day 4 of me being broken up with my ex. I am feeling a lot better. I have seen the counselor non-stop since Monday and now am taking a break, but will see her again tommorow. I am glad to say its finally good to do the stuff i enjoy without being told it is stupid. I also do not have to be forced to watch any horror movies with my ex just to get some action/please her. She would end up calling me a baby for not liking horror movies.

 

I just hate them. I also get to dress the way I want now and wear my favorite color. It's going to be hard to pick up that color again after being told how hideous and un-attractive it looked on me but I will do it when I'm ready. There are women out there that manipulate and try to change you. I am glad I know what to look for now.

 

The counselor told me to write down the person who i want in a relationship and i wrote down 30 things which i thought were above and beyond. I also thought they were unreasonable for anyone to ask. I found out that it was not unreasonable for any of those things. I was only getting 1 out of the 30 which was only dating one another and no one else.

 

Anyways, this is definatly a lesson learned and hopefully the next relationship will be better. I am 24 years old for people who keep asking my age and this is a life long learned lesson.

You are only on day 4 of your breakup. It will be a long road so keep up the enthusiasm.

Not only seeing the counselor has helped, but I have blocked all contact with my ex. That took a lot of will power. Blocking her facebook profile so i cant view it, blocking her email, and blocking her phone number. I also deleted everything on the computer that reminded me of her. Tearing up any evidence that we were together.
