This happened a couple of weeks ago.
So, i've known this lad for about 3 years.
We're sooo close. I was toally in love with him, and he told me he felt the same. In fact, he said it after We'd known each other for like 1 year. We'd talked about being together and so on like 1 million times. then about two weeks ago he came out with "I've got a girlfriend, Jade, She's gorgeous, You're going to love her",, I tried hiding the pain, but i couldn't and it all just came out whilst we were on the phone. He told me there's no way he's getting ridding of her, he'd choose her over me anyday. If there's any way i could describe it. i'd call it humiliation mixed with rejection. He's lead me to believe he loved me, And then this new girl comes along and he's pushing me away, Worst pain ever.

Im so sorry. Nothing is worst than the pain in the heart.

Wow Jay I had the same happen to me...but I realized that this person wasn''t worth my love. I dealt with the rejection and betrayal and have finally got back my self esteem. Hang in there!

It reminds me of the movie, "French Kiss." I'd be SO over him. What a jerk.

My education has not quite worked for me...still don't know how to convert celcius. My instincts are telling me that I need to bring out a hose for the melting socks though.

Multiply by nine, divide by 5 add 32. 84 degrees I think. Now I'm melting along with my socks..

Thank you shammer.
Avatar Anon Newbie Nov, 18 2009 at 01:57 PM
Winkie, you do sound better with a healthy perspective. Looking back, I am glad that when an ex became an ex; he was completely out of my life. I'm not saying this is the best for anyone else or even possible (with kids); but it sure took a lot of drama and wasted time out of my life. I also tend to look at men with exes and old girl friends as men with a lot of baggage that I don't need. It took a lot of work for me to be free of baggage, and I want that now from any partner.

I can understand that and it sounds as if it's just what you need. Getting out of a relationship and leaving all the crap behind can be wonderfully freeing and sometimes you don't realise how much of a burden it was until it's gone. I've walked away from other relationships and not kept in touch, and I'm glad of that. I guess every situation is different.

Nothing is worse that what you've gone through. The strength you must have. Sometimes, I wonder how we can go on living, how the body keeps going. We need books from people who find this courage.

I met the man of my dreams in August last year. (I was in a dead relationship at the time.) I was working with this man, he started speaking to me at the end of the day, we were flirting. We then started having casual sex once a week, that progressed to a few times a week and so on. We had a great relationship, we made each other laugh and we were very happy. The sex was absolutely amazing. He always said he never wanted anything serious, but I didn't give up, I was seriously falling in love with him. I started staying the weekends, and in August this year I moved in. We still get on as good as ever, we have never fallen out, we still make each other laugh and we are still very happy, but he doesn't seem as interested in sex. Our sex life before was hectic and strong. Now it's like once a week and we have to wait for "bedtime". I come on to him all the time, he gets hard but doesn't follow it up. I sit watching tv in next to nothing, always do my hair and make up and try to look the best I can for him. He's not with anyone else because he's always with me. He is 13 years older than me and he does say that my sex drive is alot higher than his, but before I moved in we were at it non stop. This makes me feel totally rejected and hurt.

I would feel just like you. You sure you want to stay? Sounds like he has some other problems.

Twice should definitely be the cut-off point.

Thank you. I know there is virtually nothing anyone can say to you to ease your pain, but at least know that I love you and will be here whenever you want to talk. [ hugggggggs ]
