Never have I been in such pain. Don't think I was ever this in love before!

Well that's not a good idea. Revenge is the best way to get over someone.

Snafu, when you figure it out let me know

Take time-there is no manual. It is grief and loss-plain and simple. Be gentle with yourself. Be open with others. You will have good days and bad days.

Schedule time with friends and schedule activities. Fake it until you make it. There will be days you dont want to see anyone or get out of bed-keep those to a minimum, but indulge yourself at times. Seek out a therapist if you need an objective listener or get very depressed or dark.

It takes time and I am sorry for your loss. It is very painful but you will get through it. Take care-I will keep you in my thoughts. :)

Best way to get over an old flame is to get a new flame. But put some space in between them so you don't use any unwitting soul as a rebound, unless they're cool with that.

Fill your time, hang with friends, cry a lot. Feel everything and accept every feeling.

Weird, looks like I made a phantom post.

Can anyone see it? (Just above this one.)

Thanks for the advice. Revenge is not the answer still love the guy, couldn't, wouldn't. Just feel like my chest is imploding. Crying does help, some. Booze... well there went 23 years of sobriety. 2 Days back!

Oh, Sweetie, don't drink. That's never the answer. Especially if you're Bill's friend.

I went through a time about a year and a half ago. I ended up taking a huge break from BWW. It was so long that people did notice. I had no interest in coming here or any of the other things I enjoyed. I even up cutting my hair shorter than it had ever been which is something I swore I would never do. Oddly enough the tides seemed to turn with the hair cut. I felt lighter and freer.

Its just like a physical wound, It takes time You get cut and you bleed.
But then you begin to heal and there's a scab and then it continues to heal (but don't pick at the scab) and then it fades.
It might leave a scar on which you will look back and think "Oh that was so and so."
Hang in there ( as I look at all the scars of various fades)!

Oh I have had love affairs go bad before. Even lost a life partner of 5 years to AIDS back in the early 90's.(Can one be a life partner if only after 5 years? I guess yes if he lived only 5 years after we got together and I was his last but I digress) This one was different. This one became my world. This one.... Anyway, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger as the old saying goes.

Time. But, moving forward, don't give anyone so much of yourself that they become your world. You've got to keep some for yourself.

This one was different. This one became my world.

I know precisely what you mean and precisely how you suffer. I won't lie, I'm still struggling and I know my situation will take a lot of time and effort to get through. But I work on it because when my life is at its worst and I'm the one in need of help and support, I have received so much more than I ever expected and I don't want to let my friends and family down. I'm trying to get back out there in the world, but like you, my world was so sharply focused on my partner, I forgot how to live my own life, so I'm starting over. It's not easy and I'm only taking baby steps, but I am seeing some improvement. I go through periods of darkness, but when I can, I email or call a friend and either vent or chat about ANYTHING that can fill some time. And it helps.

It SUCKS to feel this way. Just plain sucks everything inside out. You want the pain to stop but then you also want to wallow. When you trust someone a lot with your heart, it sucks with extra suck sauce when it doesn't work out.

The pain is horrible, awful, rending and also bad. :) Oddly, it strengthens and teaches. You want to kick the teacher in the nads the way you want to kick the person who broke your heart in the nads. The obsessive thoughts, the anger, the assault on the self-esteem--those things could be dulled with booze and whatever, but imagine teetotalling your way through the pain. You'd come out with some kicka.ss strength.

Drop everything and go to France.

Kidding. I had my heart very badly broken right before a trip to Paris, and I thought maybe the timing was for the best. I was wrong. It stops hurting for a week and when you come back it starts again.

Best advice I can give you is the advice I give to everyone: keep going. Allow yourself time to hurt and time to heal. Just keep going. Someday you will get through it.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

One of the things that I try to focus on is revenge by being a better person than him. I'm going to do all the stuff he wanted to do that we didn't get around to doing. I'm going to make myself look hotter (and by extension boost my self esteem) and I'm going to flaunt the new me as much as possible. And if it makes him regret throwing me away, then that's just icing on the cake. But even if he doesn't, I know I'll only be increasing my options while becoming a healthier me. Now, this all sounds easier than it is to do, but I'm working on it. What I really need now is a workout partner who can kick me in the ass and keep me motivated. I don't like personal trainers. I hate paying someone to yell at me.

The thing is I am still helping him. Helping him by picking up certain bills so his ex wife won't find out etc. Complicated to say the least and he still e-mails me 12 times a day.... The fool I am, answers. It is a crisis on so many levels that it will be a while before I can just walk away.
