JS17 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Why is it when the second you start to feel the slightest bit better something comes along to kick you in the arse, even small things? I was feeling like I actually wanted to get out of bed and accomplish things for probably the first time in 6 months. So I got up and started cleaning up that huge pile of mail and magazines that have been sitting there for an age. Apparently there was some really old stuff like my bday cards from the end of '04...including the one from my ex. Now I feel like crap again. I thought I had gotten rid of or packed away everything from him. How can something so little and insignificant hurt so much?
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Because it reminds you of when you were so happy and blissful with them. I do know what you mean. I cleaned out the junk drawer in my kitchen and found a stack of the little cards that came with the flowers my ex had delivered to my office. I immediately went to my old emails and read all the nasty things he said to me, and that pretty much reminded me of why he's not around anymore.
Author JS17 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 I know he was really mean to me but that doesn't seem to make it hurt any less. I'm thinking of buying stock in kleenex.
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Awww poor sweetie. I'm sorry. I know it hurts. (((((((JS17)))))))
chocolate_boy Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Know what you mean, we broke up almost 3 months ago ,and damnit I still find long blonde hairs in my room ocasionally, or on a shirt I may not have worn for a while etc. Annoying! (and yes I do clean!)
Ezydriver Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I was cleaning my car and found one of my ex's ear-rings under the drivers seat, yes, it did induce a near panic attack. Steve.

I thought I had gotten rid of or packed away everything from him. How can something so little and insignificant hurt so much? I don't come across much seeing that my ex rarely gave me anything. He must be reminded of me all the time seeing that I bought him furniture and redecorated rooms in his house. I highly doubt he's losing sleep over it though. He never really appreciated the things I gave him or did for him... why in the world did I love that man???? JS17, whenever you find something, put it in the garbage immediately. If you find a letter or a card or an email, don't read it. Throw it out and keep cleaining. It still hurts because you loved ther person. The same way it would hurt if you found something you loved who had died. Mourning is a long process and we all go through it. 1
Woggle Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I still have stuff from my ex in the attic somewhere. When I get around to it I am going to throw it out because she doesn't want it.
