justitia2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 My last relationship ended in May. It's been more than two months now, but it feels like yesterday. We did not give each other any closure. No one decided to actually be the "dumper", I guess that happens sometime. I pretty much knew from the beginning that he is not the one for me, but I stayed with him because I loved him. We all know how that works, rarely do anything goes as we like in love. I found myself all bruised and injured not too long into the relationship, and the worst was the confusion! I couldn't decide to leave or to stay, and until it happened, I still wasn't sure. Well, I'm sure now. I know that my instinct was right in the beginning. It now feels like I just woke up from a long, sad dream, but I can see the reality now. He was manipulative, selfish, and all the other things related to being emotionally abusive. He is someone that I need to stay as far away as I can, because he drains away my happiness, my self esteem, and most of all, my youth! I don't have forever to be young and healthy and beautiful. Life is short, and I don't want to waste one more day on someone who wants to hurt me.
LivingWithoutHim Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Mine ended right before the 4th of July weekend. Same type of guy you were involved with - selfish, manipulative and cruel. Fortunately I started a new job so it's kept me too busy to think about him during the week but the weekends - it hits and hurts although I know getting him out of my life is the healthiest thing to ever happen to me. You're not alone - I'm going thru what you're going thru and like someone said to me the other day "No one ever dies from a broken heart - you recover and move on". It's true! I tell myself each time I think of him that I'm only giving him power and that I need to not think of him and think about myself instead. Kinda works for me. I nicknamed him "Slimey Greaseball". Somehow just saying that out loud when I think of him kills his image pretty quickly!
smile Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I like the slimey greaseball thing. It made me laugh. And I needed it, so thanks
