Carrying on the supportive previous thread that ran out of space!
@herbsmokedchicken definitely that, although I wouldn't as I'm not a cheat....

Its hard isnt it. Jon how old are you?

My ex (feels weird to say) has a child already. I really didnt want to be with someone with a kid for fear of getting too close. Exactly that happened, we formed a wonderful bond and now it’s over. He says I can still see her but I dont know if that will happen....

Also the speed of it is hitting me again a bit today - it’s almost a year since we went on a sort of date and I thought he’d make his move but he didn’t. And it’s over a month to the date where I made my move (11th Oct) blows my mind that in less than a year we got together, said we loved each other, celebrated Christmas, went on holiday, did all this couple stuff, said we’d marry each other all in less than a year. That’s crazy. I def wonder if we got too intense too soon.

  1. Feel like I'm not going to find anyone like him, not that I want to right now, but we were so suited and got on so well, he just fit so nicely into my life and took on all my pets! I have a very demanding cat (😅) and a horse and he was so patient with them both, he'd never been around horses before but when my dad was ill he went and sorted my horse for me and he used to get up at silly o clock on the weekends normally in the cold to come to competitions with me - my friend tells me that he told her husband that he enjoyed it and found it exciting, and this was only a few months ago!! I hope that he'll start to miss it, we did loads over the last year or so. It's sad because I currently have no motivation to get back out competing as I miss his support but I'll get there. I think next time I have to separate my relationship and my hobby and not intertwine them so much :( although I loved him being around

jonsnow I’m 32! After being single since I was a teen I was worried it would never happen for me, then it did and now I’m worried it’ll never happen again!

Mumcomehere · 04/09/2019 18:11

I'm in the 'I could argue with him ' mood lol.

I already have a child from a previous relationship, twat took her on as his own, they had a great relationship (it's been hard on her too). We had planned getting married, honeymoon destination and babies, and now nothing.

herbsmokedchicken · 04/09/2019 19:19

Yep! Just found all the cards he'd given me that I saved "what a great year it's been and can't wait for more adventures" in this year's Valentine's card...LIES that was only 4 months before you cheated on me and made up a load of crap about me so you wouldn't feel so guilty!!

herbsmokedchicken · 04/09/2019 19:44

Oh god yeah, I’ve still got the cards somewhere, and a postcard he sent me when he was away for two weeks, saying how much he loved me. When he got back he said he wouldn’t go away for that long again cos he missed me too much then like three weeks later started to fall out of love with me! It’s bizarre isn’t it?

Just caved and checked WhatsApp, for the first time in a week or so and now kicking myself as I know he's with her (last seen was hours ago, from when he was with me he doesn't really talk to anyone else on WhatsApp regularly aside from a girlfriend so means he's with her!) But half of me is also like, he is literally doing exactly the same with her as he was with me, have some more inspiration rather than just completely copying 🙄🙄 it's looking more and more rebound-y

OP posts:
herbsmokedchicken · 04/09/2019 20:23

Ah but you managed a week so that’s good! Ive actually gotten a bit worse on the WhatsApp checking but will crack down on it.

Yeah I imagine that must be horrible, when you know them so well it’s easy to work out what’s going on isn’t it

Jonsnowsghost · 04/09/2019 20:28

When will the rebound end is what I want to know 😅
I did feel better not checking constantly, because I could work out what he was doing from it so it would upset me which is why I managed to not! You can be strong and not check!

herbsmokedchicken · 04/09/2019 20:50

I will! Ugh just horrible tho. I want this to have never happened

AdviceforMeplease · 04/09/2019 22:07

I’m going to text him I can’t stop myself!

TinselAndKnickers · 04/09/2019 22:18

He text me at 9:30am when he woke up and we've been speaking all day since.

I've fucked it! Back to square one.

TinselAndKnickers · 04/09/2019 22:46

Ps thanks for all the birthday wishes!

I feel like an addict who just got their fix. It'll all come crashing down Grin

AdviceforMeplease · 04/09/2019 23:00

I text him and it hasn’t helped and now I’m sobbing even more than I was.

Happy birthday tinsel!

Mumcomehere · 04/09/2019 23:37

Oh my goodness what happened @TinselAndKnickers and AdviceforMeplease

herbsmokedchicken · 05/09/2019 08:36

Yes what happened?? How are you two feeling today?

I’m feeling rubbish, definitely gone back a few steps, I just miss him so bloody much and it’s so hard to know that he’s almost certainly fine now, back to his old life, whereas I’m still hurting so much.

I'm back a few steps too, WhatsApp looking again :( urgh. Now I'm thinking of all sorts of scenarios. And going over in my head all the horrid things he said to me, but I know that these were just excuses so he would feel less guilty and give him a "reason" for what he did but I can't get past them and think they're all true :(

OP posts:
herbsmokedchicken · 05/09/2019 10:34

Oh it’s horrible isn’t it, in my case there isn’t a “reason” and I genuinely believe him but I still try and find reasons coz it’s so hard to accept that he could just stop loving me.

What he did was horrible and you do not deserve what has happened!

herbsmokedchicken · 05/09/2019 10:36

Off work sick today, not sure if I’ve got a bug or if it’s the stress of it all as can’t pin down quite what’s wrong. Also just realised my phone has started autocorrecting “as” to “A’s” as I have typed it so much on this thread lol

Mumcomehere · 05/09/2019 14:25

Aww Herv, hope your ok? I've got a bit of a cold.

I'm still on the right path, not crying, obviously still thinking about him, the good times and now the bad, but I can honestly say I've moved up the mountain a bit more.

herbsmokedchicken · 05/09/2019 14:34

Yeah feeling better now, not sure if it’s an actual thing or if I’m just run down! I’ve been sleeping so badly.

I’m feeling a bit better than this morning but ugh

herbsmokedchicken · 05/09/2019 18:19

I want him baaaaaaaaack 😭

Jonsnowsghost · 05/09/2019 18:43
