i hate this . . . i feel like i'm asking you guys for so much support and giving so little myself. . .

but i am falling apart right now. i want to call my ex so bad and tell him to come home and that all is forgiven. i've been feeling so alone and lonely lately. but the real thing is - he came over on saturday - and god, i'm an idiot. i let him in. he told me that he was trying to break up with his girlfriend because he was ready to be the man i need in my life. but he couldn't cuz he needs her to drive him around (he lost his license cuz of a dui). and he had to be sure that he had a way to work and back. he said that he missed me and he would be everything to me if i took him back. all i'd have to do is drive him everywhere. . . and the rest he would take care of.

it is on me tho, why did i let him in? i feel like such a fool. so anyway he cried to me, hugged me and kissed me and we made out a little. i let him. . . i am such an idiot. . . part of me was like - feeling revenge against the woman that he left me for. . .and another part of me was heart broken and wounded and searching for someone to save me and looking to this man who has done nothing but hurt me for so long. . .

and i am sad. i am lonely. i spent the majority of the weekend in various stages of sadness and sleep. . but not being able to cry. . . i chalk that up to my medication.

i don't want to call him. i don't want to let him back in my life. . . but god, i miss him soooo much. i was with him for 11 years. . . and i don't know if i can go on without him.

imagine that - i'd rather be abused than be alone. . .

i guess that i am posting this in hopes that i'll have someone to talk to - so i won't call him. . .crazy thing is i know that if i call him - he won't have time for me. i know that he only came to me cuz he was hurting and not to comfort me. not to try to win me back or anything. . . most likely he had a fight with his girlfriend and needed his ego to be boosted. and i did that for him. . .

ug! ug! ug!

i'm a complete idiot.

Your not an idiot. We all look to those we have or had at some point in time. Truth of the matter is, it's familiarity. Even if he abuses you, it's familiar to you. Everyone is that way. I'd rather not take my meds so I do the ups and downs than to feel normal, what the hell is noraml. Remember that there is always someone here, and it's ok to get more support than give. When you're feeling better, you'll feel better about giving advice, about supporting those that support you now.

Try hard not to call him. This is a place to be, to get that help. But even I know it's easier said than done. I did the same thing in the past with my ex. Then I found my husband, he saved me from that. You will find your way, you just need to trust yourself.

God Bless You-

You are not an idiot!! You just got used to a way of life. It's hard to accept normalcy when you haven't had it for so long. Do yourself a big favor & fight the urge to see him. He is doing it for him...not you. Everytime you see him you have to start all over again. NOT GOOD!! He made his bed, now let him sleep in it. Fuc- his hurting...he did it to himself. If nothing else have some compassion for the gal he's using for a ride...she is one sorry sap sucker.. lol Get yourself together now with some therapy to help you through this horrible time. It will help empower you

Love

i just got home from work and i didn't call him. . . i feel a little bit better knowing that my thoughts are out there instead of in my head. it seems to help getting things out.

thanks, guys for saying i'm not an idiot. . . yeah i am just so used to going to him when i feel bad - but i know i'm not going to get anything from him. i guess bad habits are hard to break. . .

speaking of which i started smoking hard core again this weekend. i had quit for 2 months. . .and i already ruined that one. i guess i'd rather smoke and pollute my lungs than kill my mental healthy by calling my ex.

Hey Real, I will go with the others, you have been with him for quite a while, and it is very easy to be sucked back into that world, but don't call him, don't allow him to use your fragility against you, get some therapy and work through this, you deserve better.. it's his problem he lost his license, let him walk, he is the one that left you for another woman, while I would feel a little bit bad for her, cause you know what she is in for, I would not feel that much, as she knew he was involved when she got involved, smoke if you need it to get you through this, you can quit again once you get through the worst of it.

You are not an idiot, he is the idiot....Please fight the urge to talk to him...and if he calls or wants to see you....say NO. How much more do you want to be hurt?? And that BS about needing a ride???Really??

Hang in there, we are here for you.....hugs, Norma

you guys are all right. i think that i'm starting to recognize that when i am feeling down i don't feel like i'm worth anything. like i don't deserve to be happy or something. . . i decided that i was gonna work on music - sad music - but it kept me from calling him. i am sad and i think that i let myself get abused cuz i feel like i don't deserve better - i mean seriously - who can love me? i am starting to see how my thought patterns are when i am down. i guess that i have to resist the urge to do something really stupid. . . thank you for being here for me. . .
