Oh me too....😟😟😟😟

My soul hurts

KittyVonCatsworth · 05/04/2019 23:33

Joing the club today. Posting on too many threads trying to comprehend it all but I'm not. It's shit.

PorpentinaScamander · 05/04/2019 23:50

Hugs kitty it's the shittest. Sorry you are joining us

Strongteaplease · 06/04/2019 01:52

I can't sleep.....again☹️. I miss him so much😖

ImpracticalJoke · 06/04/2019 05:32

I've been awake since 3.50am. I'm anxious about moving out on Sunday.

I just want him to text me saying he's having second thoughts and wants to try and save our family.

Hopefully getting into a new place and getting my own independence will help me get over him. He's quite stubborn, once he's made his mind up he usually sticks to that decision.

I keep thinking of the times we split up when we were younger and would always get back together. But we're older now. More mature. It really is starting to feel like the end.

I can't move on though. He's my everything 😢

Itstimetoquit · 06/04/2019 16:06

not a gd day for me,my ex keeps coming in the room saying he hopes I die. I'm ignoring him but it's hard

alittlebitdemented · 06/04/2019 16:30

@Itstimetoquit I'm not sure there's ever justification for that (unless you committed some heinous crime, which I'm guessing you didn't). Are you safe from him? Can you go out for the day? Or ask him to leave?

Itstimetoquit · 06/04/2019 16:39

I'm safe,hes annoying me becausehes saying it in front of our child,im going out later,i can't ask him to leave it's his house,ive spoke to the council and they are going to rehouse me but I don't know how long it will take

ImpracticalJoke · 06/04/2019 18:33

@Itstimetoquit Oh goodness. I do hope you find somewhere soon. I ended up privately renting, I couldn't wait for the council to find me somewhere, they said it could be months. I found a house on Gumtree just down the road from where I am now.

My ex is out tonight. He doesn't drink so won't be getting drunk but that kind of scares me more. If he meets someone he'll have a clear head and know that he really likes them. I'm terrified.

It's his brothers stag do. I'm hoping someone will tell him what a fool he's being and he'll message me to tell me how much he loves me.

I won't be able to sleep again tonight and I'm moving tomorrow. This is so hard.

PorpentinaScamander · 06/04/2019 22:49

I want to text him again.
I want to suggest we date and just don't live together until the kids are older. But I'm so scared he'll say no.

I hope the move goes smoothly tomorrow @ImpracticalJoke

ImpracticalJoke · 06/04/2019 23:16

@PorpentinaScamander I've been thinking the same about my ex. When we first moved into together he worked away a lot but we managed. I think we're both hard people to live with so it was harder with him not working away anymore.

I know we could make it work by not living together and just dating. I just don't want to text him and say it as I'm scared to get knocked back and then I'll have to start this whole mess all over again.

I hope our 'friendship' just naturally progresses to that though.

Someone told me something the other that I'm trying to think of all the time...

Ask. Believe. Receive

That is my motto everyday now.

We were never married but I had an eternity that I wore. I put it back on today for a few minutes and not just my heart, but my whole body ached. I need him back so bad.

PorpentinaScamander · 06/04/2019 23:23

@ImpracticalJoke it's so shit isn't it. How do we know what to do for the best. If I message and he says no then I know it's over and I don't even have hope.
If I don't then he might think I don't care Sad

ImpracticalJoke · 07/04/2019 00:09

@PorpentinaScamander What about suggesting you both meet for a coffee when he's feeling up to it? Just for a catch up tell him.

I've told my ex I'll always be there for him. He's so important to me. He suffers from multiple illnesses and is my children's father so I've said I'll always be here to look after him when he needs it.

PorpentinaScamander · 07/04/2019 00:43

I might suggest it when im feeling stronger.

ImpracticalJoke · 07/04/2019 11:19

Well my ex is being very blasé about my move today. He usually has lots to say but seems to be keeping things brief and just asking about me moving things.

I asked him if he had a good night at his brothers stag do. He didn't answer the question. Makes me think he must have 'pulled'.

I was hoping he wouldn't be able to move on, that he'd miss me too much and want to try again. I don't feel like that will happen now.

I'm not feeling in a good place today.

Hope everyone else's weekend is picking up.

PorpentinaScamander · 07/04/2019 12:22

I got up and had a bath then came to church. I've cried a few times today when talking to people but they are so kind.

Thinking about him moving on makes me feel sick Sad

Strongteaplease · 07/04/2019 20:45

Time doesn't make anything better does it. It makes it worse. I'm still thinking of him, missing him, feeling like shit all the time ....and him.....I haven't heard from him for weeks so have a feeling he's moved on. I don't ever want anyone else . He was the one person that I wanted to spend my life with. Now I'll be alone. I dread the day that I get told that he's been seen with some other woman. I won't cope with that

PorpentinaScamander · 08/04/2019 19:18

Time does help. It's just it takes months and months ime.

I wish I was dead.

dilly123 · 08/04/2019 21:46

I'm sure some of you can understand this but starting to feel a deeper level of pain.. like it's now 5 weeks & not a word from him so it's definitely over for good.. losing the hope of him turning round saying he's so sad & missing me & can we try again is worse than the initial break up!! I'm so down, so miserable & lost! I am so angry at so called friends that haven't even checked to see how I am.. it's literally me & my children & that's it! I hate my life right now!

We are in the same situation. I can't sleep yet again thinking why he hasn't felt the need to communicate to me after two years of intense togetherness and promised of s fantastic future. He always promised he'd never hurt me or leave me and " I was the one true love of his life". I'm so miserable.

dilly123 · 09/04/2019 17:20

@bombaygin

How's things with you my lovely? X

OP posts:
PorpentinaScamander · 09/04/2019 17:30

I keep reminding myself of all his annoying habits. It's not really helping though Grin

dilly123 · 10/04/2019 08:17

@PorpentinaScamander

Yes that's what I do too!
I laugh at romantic memes on social media like "message her every morning & tell her she's beautiful, she'll smile all day" or late at night text her all the things you love about her so she wakes up & carries your love all day!!! He has barely given me any compliments in 6 years nor did he ever make me feel secure let alone special!! But sadly I'm still in that space where I'd take a shit relationship with a shit partner over the way I'm feeling now!!

I know I'll get stronger & it will click it always has in the past but just not yet!

Sorry to hear that your all feeling rubbish. Time really does help and eventually you will see these men weren't right for you. If they were they would never have let you go. This is what I have to tell myself about my ex, if he truly loved me he wouldn't have just given up but he did.

I feel bad saying this but I feel really good. I'm 5 weeks on and I feel like I'm out of the fog and can see him for what he really is and I can see how bad the relationship was. I still have my moments and I think when he meets someone else it will be very hard initially but I have to remember he is who he is, he will eventually show her his laziness, he will show her how selfish he is and he will continuously let her down. I miss him, but only because he's all I've known for 10 years, not because I want him back because I don't, I don't want a lazy partner who cant prioritise me.

I really hope you all feel better soon and go on to meet men worth ten of your ex's and who treat you like the prize you are.
