Author shockandawed Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks Lorr, You are so right. I just thought if I could put some friends together, it might help me get through this. I do have a few, but hate to keep hanging on them. I know I am not ready to date again (unless Miss Perfect falls in my lap). It's tough being alone knowing she has picked up a new relationship. Basically nothing changed except the name she says she loves. Her daughter goes to her Dads starting tonight for the week so the imagination of how she is spending her time is hurting bad......I know her issues will get her again but it still sucks..
Author shockandawed Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Wish me luck, she just left a message that she will be near my home today and can meet me to give me the diamond back. I really hate to see her again, but I need to get this over with. I hope I can just take it without showing any emotions.
lorr Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 It would have been better if someone collected the ring on your behalf if you don't feel up to it. As long as you know that its the ring that your collecting then there should be no need for chit chat. There should be no need for you to start asking how she is, that you miss her etc. Anyway good luck you'll be fine! Tell us how it went!
Author shockandawed Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Hey Lorr, Thanks for the advice but I had already left. We met in a supermarket parking lot. I got into her car. She gave me the diamond and watch. I offered to pay for the services. Asked her if she wanted to keep the watch. She asked why, I said maybe there was someone she could give it to. She said only her daughter, who wouldn't look good in a mans watch. Anyhow, I stayed calm and talked rationally. She really looked like she has been through the ringer. She always had the brightest eyes and smile. Looked completely drained. I thanked her for allowing things to end on a positive note. Not with the hurtful slams from a couple of weeks ago. She said I had hurt her pretty well but she got what she deserved. Told me I was too good for her and I deserved better. Told her we both needed to be happy. She said she knew she was making the biggest mistake in her life. I then gave her a hug, told her I would always love her, she was choking up pretty bad, said she would always love me too and I got out of the car. I watched the love of my life drive away.
lorr Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 At least she told you the truth that you were too good for her and that you deserve better.The real love of your life will eventually come along and will treat you with the upmost love and respect, and your ex will be a distant memory.
Author shockandawed Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks Lorr, I do know in time that will be true. A great big hug across the pond for you.
