That just isn't enough - it's all or nothing for me.

as other people have said, it sounds like it's too unhealthy for you to remain friends with her. I think it would be better to just cut her off completely for the time being to allow you to get over it, then maybe after a while you might get to the stage where you can just become friends with her.

a similar thing happened to me regarding that. I told a girl straight up about what I felt about her (I was actually really head over heals for her), and she didn't feel the same way back - fine, shit happens, I can deal with that. But the thing was after that she sent me very frustrating mixed signals all the time, which always left me wondering if she had changed her mind about the way she felt about me. In the end I just decided it was unhealthy for me and cut off regular contact with her.

I felt better for it, and I think you'd feel better if you did the same.

Yeah, Human League has a lot songs about "relations" (end, beginning or lack of etc.). Used to play this a lot more also. Like this: "I guess you always wanted life on your own."

The album The Human League - Dare is one of the first records I ever bought and can been seen as a bleuprint for what I like since then (really). I see a lot of people praise their more experimental period but I think Dare, Fascination!, Hysteria are still topstuff also. Became less interested from Crash on (I don't even have those albums) although I find Human, despite the very different style, a great track. Good to see you like them too Ray. smile

or you can just focus on feeling bad.

Or i can just focus on other things and leave the bad feeling marinate in my head. I'm trying to work these things through, i don't want to feel bad. But i know what you're trying to say guys.

I gotta tell you about my weekend. I'm not really sure if it has been a good or bad 2 days, but last night ended like shit for sure. I've had really good times with my friends these couple of days, and friday i actually got lucky and ended up having sex with this girl. It was fun, no doubt about that, but now i can say with even more certainty, that it sure doesn't make any of this bad feeling shit any better.
And this was confirmed this yesterday, as i was having a blast with my friends at a bar. I had been feeling superconfident, seeing a handsom dude in the mirror, and walking upwright like the future was shining to me again. And then, the dreaded shit happened, earlier than i'd ever thought it would happen.

I see my ex kissing someone in the middle of the fucking bar as i wnt to buy some more beer. She noticed me as i walked past her to get back to my table. I gave her probably the meanest look i've ever given to anyone. All the feelgood disappeared in a fraction of a second. Couldn't even finish my beer. I had to leave as i felt very near to actually start crying in front of my friends.
Then i also wrote an angry mail to her when i got home. It was probably a bad idea, but the fucking anges made me almost hit my fists into walls again.

It really pisses me off to be so fucked up about this. I wish she'd disappear from the fucking face of the earth. I don't want to see her ever again. Compairing my break up with death, yes i feel it's really the same. She's dead to me. And now she apparently haunts all the places i like to spend time.

Henri: I also think that it's not really a good idea to hang around with your ex like that. I dated this girl in hi school , who dumped me after a year. She was probably the only one i had felt this strong feelings what i'm feeling to this current ex. We did this weird see-saw thing almost two years, as she kept some of the tension and possibilities in the air, and i hung myself to her and couldn't let go. It was a terrible waste of time. For 2 years to constantly hope that we'd go back together again, which never happened, and getting hurt looking at her fiddle around with other people.

Don't do the same mistake as i did.

Huxflux: Hang in there. I'm whining about my shot term crushes and at the same time people are ending their long-time relationships, so i of course cannot relate accordingly. It really is a good thing that these things end before they go worse of ruin our lifes or wate our time, but it seally just sucks that it's so hard to make shitty feelings go away, nevermind how rationally you think about these matters. I hope you get it easy.

Off-topic..... Darkness used to be my favourite. Now I just like the whole album. smile What about the transistion from "I Am The Law" into "Seconds", great.

Re: the broken hearts club

Crash is a bit of a hit and miss album indeed but Human is still one of my favorite songs from The Human League, it's soft porn flic music  smile Dare is indeed a massive album, there's not a dull song on it.

Re: the broken hearts club

Big fan of Dare too, but I realy, realy love Travelogue. I think it sounds incredible and far away of his time.

Re: the broken hearts club

sorry to hear fossa, baddest timing hmm still good that you could enjoy yourself during the last couple days, perhaps its a sign of recovery?

I am pretty much fine about my own separation. I've done my share of sorrowing during the year and now I just feel that I want to stop wasting my time with her and move on to something new. Kinda curiously waiting what the future will bring smile
Of course, its still a shame, we shared a bunch of dreams and hopes.

She still lives here which can be hard at times, we gotta live a pretty much normal life with home chores, taking care of our kids and so forth.

Festareista, saa nähdä josko pääsen sinne.. asun kuiteski ruotsissa. Oliks ne tampereella?

You need a girl that is more opened up in her feelings outside, you would feel much more secure.

I've hoped many times that my ex would've opened up more - when we were together and now when... I don't even know what's the state our relationship or friendship or whatever is at the moment. But all she does is that she throws a question after a question in the air to which I try to find the answers, only confusing me some more. Even holding her hand was difficult when we were together, but when she said that she loved me or showed her interest, it felt even better because I knew that under the rock hard shell she really felt and she really ment what she said or did.

We cut ourselves off after January - she didn't hear a thing from me and I didn't hear a thing from her, but I don't know what happened. I quess too many things were left unsolved back then and now we've remembered each other again. Or it seems that she has, as I never really forgot about her existance. But as a conclusion I think you guys are right, her friendship isn't healthy for me and I'd say her company in general deep down in the end won't do nothing more than damage. She's taken advantage of me so so many times - and I go and blindly believe all the lies and all the false signals.

Did she pay attention to you last time before she decided to end it?

When our relationship ended she said that she won't cry over me because now a new chapter in her life begins - she said that I mean nothing but the past to her and hearing that brought me down like nothing before. I guess she had gone the situation through in her head and on the other hand, wanted to see if I can get through it, if I can live without her and survive. All this time I've tried to show her that I can make it on my own, but I don't think that she still is able to see the whole picture - how hard it has been for me and how hard it still is.

She's like a god damn drug - she gives me the highest high but also her presence can bring me a terrible trip and when the effect ends, I shake and I want some more. Loving her is a suicide and being without her feels like a suicide as well.

Enough talking about me.

Fossa: if 21.5. was the end of the world, I can understand that seeing your ex kissing someone in the bar really felt like the world had come to an end. I don't know which is worse; a person haunting the corners of your mind or a person haunting the places you'd like to spend your time in. Did she reply to your message?

huxflux: I think it's good to realize and accept an ending - some things simply burn out and trying to keep on the flame is the hardest thing. Devoting your life to something that no longer offers the things one needs in order to think clear and breathe is a burden. Relationship is a total of little parts and they need to work well together to make it all function - if something breaks and you find out that it can't be fixed, something else needs to be done. All the best to you and the kids!

well from this point you can go on with your life and file her under "the past", no? Why would you feel bad about someone if obviously that person doesn't feel the same way about you. A total waste of time if you ask me.
Perhaps you needed this to happen to fully realize that you have to move on now?

That was a very bad idea indeed, it will confirm to her that she was right about breaking up with you.
Plus: the stuff about sharks & blood comes to mind too...

Re: the broken hearts club

if you really love someone you want him or her to be happy (even if it hurts), no? so if you guys really still love your ex-girlfriends you should accept their decisions and let them go. because those girls are obviously more happy without you than with you.

Re: the broken hearts club

what QOB said highlights the breathtaking double standards of this thread. if the shoe was on the other foot how many guys in here would stay with a girl that they didn't want to be with, that they didn't see a future with,  that didn't turn them on, that didn't make them happy, just because she would be heartbroken if you split from her?

Re: the broken hearts club

well it's like I said: don't forget that we also broke hearts and that doesn't make us bad persons.

And cheer up, there is so much great stuff that goes beyond love, like this:

Just look around you in a restaurant and you'll get the answer pretty soon (spot the bored couples ;-).

maybe in a restaurant but in a bar and they are having a great time

Re: the broken hearts club

love is transitory and often based on lies. if you want to live in love 100% of the time, things get tricky.
