whispervale Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Hi everyone, Merry Christmas to all - I see that I'm not the only one who's been feeling lonely over the holiday season. Not to be taken the wrong way, but it's oddly comforting to know there are other people who can relate to me. I guess the old saying is true - misery does indeed love company. It's been six months since I got out of a long-term (eight years) relationship with a woman I loved deeply. Long story short - she moved away to New York to do an internship and broke up with me over the phone. I had absolutely no warning. I feel like my soul has been bleeding for months... It never occurred to me that the holidays would be so hard to go through, but I'm definitely feeling it now. Isn't that weird? I'm glad that NC seems to be the order of the day - it feels reassuring that I'm doing the right thing, even though it's so hard! Just thought I'd introduce myself - I suspect I will be hanging out here from time to time.
ultimon Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 hey welcome to loveshack whispervale good to know that you are doing well, even after what your ex did to u. And I thought I had it bad when my ex just broke up w/ me by email after a 2 yr relationship without warning. The holidays are indeed hard to go through when everyone and everything is pressuring us to feel joyful when we are actually feeling the opposite
stanchain Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 whisper... feelin ya... actually I wish I could change places with you.. at least yours left you in new york.. my left me and is kicking it with some guy who lives a couple blocks from me.... if i am not thinking when i go to the store i get to se her car at his house every day or so.
jusified Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Welcome, Everyone on LoveShack is here for you. Everyone has their situation and I'm sure we are all hurting at least sometimes during the day. But for the other times....just let the good times roll.
Author whispervale Posted December 26, 2006 Author Posted December 26, 2006 Thanks for the warm welcome folks. I guess I never realized how rough the holidays can be until now. For stan - I really feel for you. I know my ex has probably come back home for the holidays, and she does live just a couple of blocks from where I live. I feel tempted to go and visit, pick up the phone, send email, or do something... but I guess that wouldn't be right. I guess the timing is part of it - she would have to go back to NY in the new year.
silentcharon Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Welcome to LS! This place is great- lots of support and encouragement when you need it. I came here nearly a year ago, after the demise of a 7 year relationship, and now I am currently dating someone new. The people here are wonderful and supportive- it's way better and a lot cheaper than a therapist IMHO SC
