I've been going to therapy again, and I was having a nice positive attitude yesterday. I'd even remember all the times we spent together and open a big smile because I at least had them for a little while, instead of suffering because I won't have more.
I need some time alone, and wouldn't take him back even if he wanted to. It just hurt me that he didn't find me attractive at all. He's a compulsive liar and when I asked him about the affairs he had when with me, he couldn't think right and said things that made no sense at all. I guess he was just trying to hurt me, because he got all angry when I told a friend he had some trouble getting an erection. It hurt his 'manliness' apparently.
He said he's sorry to me today, that a part of him still loves and cares about me, that he needs some time to digest everything and grow up. Being friends with him is better than nothing, so I'll stick with it while I feel shitty.
Thanks for listening, Forkboy (:
Haha, I didn't know that. Epic fail to my plan haha.
When you're young, everything seems so painful. When you're older, it's the opposite. I mean, I'm only 24 and completely closed-off emotionally, completely isolated and incapable of communicating my feelings. I've gotten into a groove/rut that I can't quite step out of, and so it seems like from here on in, my life will be what it is now right to the end. And I'll always live with that "if only I hadn't spent X years doing Y" mentality, living in the shadow of my mistakes. Don't be like that.
So what I mean by that is, as much as there may be a temptation to close yourself off, maybe that's not such a great response either. You'll get through this, and whatever else happens, and obviously it'll change you, but if you let this period of your life be defined by a bad ending to a relationship, you'll just end up bitter. The only way to move on is to move on. Probably a strangely religious thing to say, but you have to let go of the anger and all the other crap that weighs you down - or at least learn from it and move on.
I wish I knew how to do that. You know what they say about people who give advice they themselves don't follow...
