    Wow. He sounds good. That is all incredibly detailed. Did he say all that during a phone conversation? I’m looking Forward to Hearing more. He knew that she woke up thinking about you etc. Exciting and interesting. A lot say they are all scam artists, but there are some things that People could not possibly know.

    I am not reading too much into anything she says or does anymore. She is clearly very confused. Which is quite the turn around because I haven’t known what I was doing or where I was going in life until all this. Now, for once, I feel Content. She can do what she likes.

    He had sent it via e-mail. It was really uncanny and he went into detail with so many things. I believe there are few with a gift like that, some will try to take people for a ride. But there’s no way he could have known all of that from some outside source. You’re right, there are things people could not possibly know. I haven’t had my call with him yet today as he’ll be calling in the evening my time.

    I think most of our former partners are confused. It’d be a waste of our time to keep focusing on it when they don’t even know what they’re doing. Breakups are a blessing in disguise if only we take the time to notice that fact. I’m really glad to hear you’re content. πŸ™‚

    Hey Patrick! I’m so sorry, I’ve been busy the past few days. I’m doing very well and my encounter with my psychic was beyond astounding. He knew so many things and specifics and I only gave him general information like how long we were together, she broke up with me, and she lives elsewhere now. I cannot go into detail with the specific work he’s doing for me in regard to her, per his wishes and for it to work out. But I know it’ll work and things will be infinitely better. πŸ™‚

    I didn’t get a chance to mention you to him. When he called and told me something really specific about her presently, it really choked me up and that was at the end of the call. :\

    I’ve really been working the LoA and things have been going incredibly well. I made an attraction board and I look at it often and envision my future. I know it’ll happen. I’ve also been writing in my gratitude journal often.

    Oh! Something really interesting happened. I went over to my parents house to find my passport and was digging around in my old room. I came across an old exchange journal my former partner and I had before we started dancing. It gave me a chuckle and I tossed it to the ground and it opened from the back. I had forgotten we started to write in it from the back when we were together. It opened to the page she had her final entry on, and it blew me away.

    She had written about how much she loves me and how she knows with “all her wee little heart” that I am the One for her, even if I disagreed. No amount of searching elsewhere would change that ever. She stated I was attentive, gentle, kind, loving, absolutely cute, and always forgiving of her wiles. I am the most beautiful girl she’s ever seen. She loves me forever and always, and beyond that.

    Interesting that I’d find that now of all times. It’s almost like fate (again, haha). Things are certainly going to go well and in my favor. I just need to be patient and keep positive like I have been.

    I know that was a lot of stuff, but how have you been? πŸ™‚

    Good to hear from you. Delighted that you enjoyed the psychic and that all well work out well.

    That is a bit crazy that you found that now. Definitely fate.

    I’m good. Feeling better every day. As relic said, I now go to bed happy that I am me and that I am alive etc.
    She continued making contact. To the extent where I gave a vague reply. She replied immediately with more questions and thinks it would be “cool” to meet after the exams. That’s in two weeks. I didn’t say anything to that yet. But I have my doubts that the new guy is there. She said it doesn’t matter when we meet. I am close to the stage of accepting and if it happens then it happens. But I know it will. And that keeps me going.
    I just have one thing I’m working on regarding loa. Her. I meditate and give thanks. I enjoy all the little things. I met with a man from my home town yesterday. He was here for the film festival. We met for food and almost straight away he started talking about the mind and energy and loa. I’ve never spoken to anybody about that before and there he was talking about it. He said that if I wanted a book then buy xyz. I had bought that book a few days before. Don’t know why but I just liked the look of it. Nice evening

    Hey!Glad to hear you’re doing so well!

    It’s a great feeling when you’re about to fall asleep and all feels right within yourself.

    Glad to hear she’s still trying to keep in touch. I wish my former partner would do that now, but I know she will in time. Keep playing it cool! I get what you mean about accepting if it happens it happens. I feel the same way, but I too know that it will.

    That is really wild about the man you met! I have not met anyone, aside from a few folk on here, that have talked about LOA. Do you mind sharing the book he recommended? It’s piqued my curiosity now. πŸ™‚

    The book is ‘the power of now’, by Eckhart tolle. You have probably read it.

    He is a film producer so I expected a good talk. But I expected it to be talk of home and so on. I was really surprised when he started into that.

    That’s 2 people actually. A female friend from home started telling me to get into it and she follows it now for a few years and swears by it.

    I suppose we can take some comfort in our knowing that it will happen. The waiting is sometimes hard. The wondering when. But I don’t want to start wishing time away. I want to enjoy every moment I have.

    I have not read that one actually, but I’ll look into it!

    That’s really wild, two people!

    Waiting can be tough, but I waited 2 years total before. No biggie. There are plenty of other things I can enjoy during that time, so it’s all good. We’ll get there but we’ll enjoy ourselves first and foremost. πŸ™‚

    We will get there. I have a Feeling that it won’t take anything Close to 2 years for me. Don’t know why I have that Feeling. But I seem to feel a Change. A pull. Like I can feel her back again. Almost the Feeling like we are already together.

    And yes, I am enjoying life now. And great to hear that you are too.

    I understand what you mean. And it certainly seems like it will be a lot sooner than later for you!

    That feeling of change, like a pull… it’s interesting you should mention that. I feel like that’s going on behind the scenes right now in my situation. I still have not had contact with my former partner, but those feelings can’t be denied. Some bonds just can’t be severed I guess, no matter how hard you try. And when you’ve been through as much as we had over the past 5 years and then some, it’s kind of hard to just forget that it happened or act like it didn’t.

    I feel the same way with it being like we’re already together. It’s a little odd since the reality hasn’t caught up yet, but those feelings can’t be shaken.

    I’m having a little bit of a slow day today. I’m working right now and just feel drained almost physically. I think I may need to exercise for a bit.

    Are you big into movies by the way? I know you had mentioned a film festival. Any particular genres you like or favorite movies?

    Some bonds cannot be broken. Odd today. I missed her if course. As usual. But I definitely feel a change. Maybe it’s me changing. As I said, I still don’t know what she wants. Why so eager to meet and share things. Why so keen to know where I am going and asking for the first time how my weekend was. I’ve heard nothing for 2 days. Don’t even know if he is there. But I just feel so sure (maybe falsely) that I am being missed now more than I am missing her. Like a first breath again after diving under water. I can breathe a little easier knowing that What’s coming is coming. And coming fast.

    As for movies, I wouldn’t watch a lot. Not a big movie buff. I met with that mate and he was at the film festival. He is a producer. But in answer to your question, I would watch anything that makes me think. Or anything that is good! ! I’m not one for romances or horror. Some comedy is Ok but there are so many dreadful comedy movies. So many American comedies have almost always the same males cast in the same roles. They frustrate me.

    I watched imitation game a few nights ago. A great movie based on a true story. Watched the theory of everything about Stephen hawking. Too much romance and not enough of his work for my liking.
    I love Lord of the rings. Watched all the Harry Potters and so on. I don’t own a tv but watch game of thrones, peaky blinders, true detective and stuff like that.
    Oh, historical movies. I like them too. Anything from gladiator or braveheart to empire of the Sun. And of course irish movies.
    But I intend to start watching more.
    What do you like? Any particular genre?

    P.s. favourite movies is a tough one. Michael Collins, in the name of the father, life of Brian, a beautiful mind, clockwork orange, trainspotting, Bowling for columbine…….

    I had a very vivid dream last night with my ex in it. It was strange, and it ended with me all but shouting at my former partner, who had not heard me talking to her and was more content to ramble on and on about her life, that I was going to propose to her. She stared back at me taken back as if I had slapped her and looked heartbroken… she was about to say something, but I woke up.

    It was a little rough on me, but I was fortunate enough to have a lot of support from my friends. One in particular that is a mutual friend, but gravitates more to me as I’m like the daughter she never had, told me things would work out in time. She was certain of it. “She’ll realize all the good that she had in time and come back.”

    I recorded a video today, talking about how my now ex and I met, all that we’ve been through, my plans for proposing and how I felt my actions were most likely misinterpreted. I made it for me, so that one day down the road years from now I can look back and see how far I’ve really come. I guess it was mostly to serve as a reminder that despite how things may seem at the time, it’s not so bad. And truly, it’s not.

    I too love documentaries and historical films. But on the opposite end of the spectrum I love sci-fi and horror. I kind of grew up on them as my father is a big movie buff. I honestly love watching just about anything, though romance oddly enough isn’t a big one for me unless it’s made a certain way.

    Lately I’ve been on a kick with older films. A buddy and I watch them together, even though he lives in another state. The really cheesy “bad” ones, like the kind Ed Wood made, always give us a hearty chuckle.

    I’m also big into video games, art, handy work, writing/reading, and working with computers. I’ve been teased throughout the years asking if there’s anything I can’t do, but it’s probably a result of me helping anyone with just about anything if asked.

    I hope you had a good day today!

    That dream was interesting. Do you often get vivid dreams like that? And your friend is right. She will realise in time. Such strong bonds cannot be easily broken. And you are working behind the Scenes on getting her back!
    I like the Video idea. Pity I didn’t make one about 3 months ago; in my heavy drinking, falling apart stage. It is like looking back at another Person. Or rather that I am trying to Forget all about it. I am so embarrassed now thinking about some of the things i did.

    My ex had some sort of breakdown yesterday. I wasn’t really replying for almost a month now but she was having a Panic attack and said that she remembered something from her past and it was eating her up. SOmething horrible that she had forgotten about. She wouldn’t tell me but said that there was nobody else she could talk to apart from me. Why me????
    Anyway, I told her to meditate (something she has never done). And she felt better she said. All quiet then until today at noon then another thank you bla bla.

    I am confused to say the least. I felt such a pull over the past week and then this all happened. And now my Feelings are a bit all over the place. Twitchy and nervous excitement. But it doesn’t feel like they are my Feelings. Well, not completely.

    Anyway, I must watch more movies. More of the old stuff too. I could watch one per night now if i bothered.

    Hope you are keeping well. Any News on your side

    No, I typically don’t have vivid dreams like that, let alone ones with her in it or ones that I actually remember when I wake up. But it could just be my subconscious brain working through things… but I don’t feel that was it necessarily.

    That’s strange with your ex, but I’m glad that you were able to offer support in the suggestion with the meditation. It truly works wonders. Perhaps you should meditate too to clear up the tension? πŸ˜› It really sounds like you’re doing well though, keep it up!

    I’ve been doing some research in my off time. I’m the type of person that wants to know why things work a certain way. So with regard to my ex’s departure, it left me wondering… why, honestly? Through some searching, I found the term GIGs (Grass Is Greener Syndrome). She fits it to a T and the stereotypical excuses she gave for the breakup tie in as well. There was no concise explanation, just stuff pulled from the air with “I love you, but I’m not in love with you,” “I don’t want to be in a relationship right now,” “I still want to be friends,” “I still have hope for the future,” etc. All of which are classic with GIGs. That almost cold feet approach and uncertainty of “could this be it, or are there better things out there?”

    The unfortunate thing for a dumper with GIGs is they more often than not have a fallback person ahead of time and will rebound. They think it’s love, but it’s simple infatuation. After a few months (usually 3-4), they realize it’s not love and typically break things off the with rebound, start to heavily regret their decision to dump the ex, they feel lost, and never really dealt with the pain from the breakup. At this point, the dumpee has already healed and usually has moved on. More often than not, the dumper tries to get back with the dumpee but is still a mess. Because of this, the dumpee is more put off by it. Now I’m not saying that’s exactly how it goes, but I have read a lot of posts by dumpers that had GIGs and they regret it so very much. Sometimes couples actually get back together and have stronger relationships than ever before. It really is a toss up, but interesting nonetheless.

    At this point I’m of mind that’s exactly what is going on with my ex. I know she’s beyond lost having jumped ship. She never dealt with the breakup properly, and I know this because she compartmentalizes and doesn’t deal with her problems head on. She is just in a relationship to be in a relationship as she can’t be alone, but she doesn’t really know this person and does not seem happy in the least bit. But I cannot be mad at her. I know she’s confused and hurting, whether she shows it or not. She made her choice and she needs to figure her life out. When she comes back, I hope she’ll have her life together… or at least be willing to prove she is serious about working on herself. If not, her loss not mine. I find myself thinking less and less of her daily, which means I’m healing well.

    I hope you’ve had a good day and have some updates when you post again!
