Oh darling, you sound just like me a year ago! I had an 8 year long relationship. I even married the guy.
We separated, he met someone else, he then got her pregnant and got married. I was absolutely devastated. I couldn´t believe he had stopped loving me.
Because, just like you said, how do you stop loving someone? Well, it has been 4 years since we separated and I understand now that it is possible to move on. Will you still love him?
Maybe yes. Maybe always. But will that love hurt you?
No. It will stop hurting. And you will be able to fall in love again.
This new guy you are with... mmm... you probably love him but you don´t sound like you are in love with him. So it´s more like you care about him and since he is so great, you believe that if you can´t make it work with him, (and since your ex won´t take you back) then it won´t work with anyone. And that´s not true.
You have to continue towards moving on from your ex, maybe let yourself be alone for a while.. and see how you feel. What if the hope of finding someone who rocks your world gives you the strength you need to move on completely? What if being with this new guy only makes you feel worse because you obviously don´t feel towards him like you know you once did towards someone else?
The ex is gone. The new boyfriend isn´t cutting it. Be alone.
Go out with your girlfriends. Throw away EVERYTHING that reminds you of your ex (not because it will help you forget him, but because it will help you know that you are set on moving on) And finally, let your heart be marvelled again. IT WILL HAPPEN.
Best of luck!
So now I have my ex begging for me back and tells me ex loves me still and all that. I told ex that I still love and I never stopped, but this time I’d like things to be different and my ex needs to change some things like don’t give up on his future schooling dreams like ex usually does and to treat me better than ex did before. Does it sound like I’m doing it right?
I also told my ex that I don’t want the label yet until ex can prove to me that he is worthy of my time. My ex has told me that ex is committed to changing and to do anything it takes for me to forgive my ex ‘one day’.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
