I’m just now breaking up with the Not-A-Boyfriend…I had another thread on here a few months ago about breaking up with him. The guy I saw for five years, who couldn’t commit to…anything. At all. (Yes, I’m an idiot.) I tried to hold on, but the pattern of breaking out sobbing about it every few weeks got to be too much. For both of us, really. (Please believe me that I did try to be cool. I’m too stubborn for my own good sometimes.)
He’d like to be a good boyfriend, but he can’t.
So, it’s MPSIMS and if anyone is online I’d like some stupid internet hugs. Because I need to go to sleep and it’s hard.
(I’m only a little bit of an internet attention whore.)
Look at it as a learning experience, resolve not to make the same mistake again, and let it go. If you find yourself really, really wanting to see him again and get tempted to call, before you pick up the phone sit down and write out a list of things he did that hurt you.
{{{MerryMagdalen}}} I think a whole lot of us could say “been there, done that, bought the tshirt”. It hurts now but gets better. Once you get over that awful hangover it sounds like you’re sure to have, go find SuperDuperWowieWhereHaveYouBeenMan, like ivylass said.
Oh, work will be good for you. Get your mind off things. Give yourself some time, and at the risk of sounding bitchy, he may not be able to commit…to you. Not your fault, not his, and use it as a learning experience.
Now, I will link to a lovely poem by Veronica Shoffstall called After a While.
