We Broke Up

[gwailo]

So I've been a ghost these past few weeks..

Among other things, this is why. /:

Chance, I just read your view and it pretty much boiled down to I just wasn't into him. We had a few rational conversations about it over the past few weeks. At first he talked me out of my decision but we eventually broke up. He completely understood where I was coming from but didn't want to give up on it.

I wish I was more into him than I was because he was completely into me as he confessed /: but we have hung a few times since then and we seem to be getting along well in our interactions.

I am also getting along better with my previous bf too.. hopefully this dynamic will continue to work well because if I don't have friends, I don't have much right now.. obviously my problems can't compare with the world's but my problems affect my life so they matters to me.

Its going to be hard not having that constant companionship but it was the right thing to do.

Any advice on the best ways to keep myself distracted?

Focus on yourself.

Get to the gym.

Read a few books.

Call old friends and acquaintances.

Have a home spa day.

There is a moment in the future, in which this happening to you at this precise moment just won't mind anymore, and memories will be diluted someway. Then -> once you pictured that moment in time, try to make the space in between as short as you can. But I'm afraid that your ex bf has the longest way to recover. I was at the other side, but finally...as they say c'est la vie

Find a new hobby. Meet new people.

Join a www.MeetUp.com group that shares one of your interests in your city. You need to have routine like going to the gym. When you're taking up a new hobby, it forces you to focus on learning something new.

Find a home improvement project to do.

I can't think of more suggestions for distraction than what they said already. Writing, my regular distraction, may be too introspective and solitary so I won't suggest it.

As for wanting companionship - most of my relationship mistakes centered around wanting a partner more than wanting what was good for me. It's not easy to believe being alone can be better, for a while.

Read my [STRIKE]novel[/STRIKE] story in the story forum. Look for errors as you go. That'll keep you busy till about July.
