Is feeling like you should give up normal?

(I meant half as happy as he made me! Obviously haha)

sri – I have no idea how your ex is feeling :(( I wish I could say that you should just ask him but sometimes that’s way too scary and you may not want to hear what he has to say. I really wish I could contact my ex. It’s not even just because I’m doing no contact, I just feel like he doesn’t really want to hear from me? If he did, then he would contact me, surely? I’m still feeling as though I should probably give up and move on, but I don’t want to because I love him so much and I don’t want to just give up on him. But if he wants me to, then I will. I’m just not sure what he wants!!!! Every morning I check my phone and get disappointed that he hasn’t text me :/ I think it’s starting to become a problem. It’s not that I expect him to, I’d just really like it idk.

Moonbunny – I agree. It’s kind of lame that we both realize these things AFTER our relationships are over 🙁 I wish I had seen these things while we were still together and I could’ve worked on the things that were making him feel drained and unhappy.
My dog is a cairn terrier like Toto from the Wizard of Oz 🙂 She’s sooo cute. It’s her birthday on Monday so she’ll be 1 year old!! My ex really liked her as well. When he came to talk to me last he was sad that she wasn’t at home.
I know that my ex has hung out with the girl I saw. I have no idea if they’re in a relationship or not. They probably aren’t. But I got scared thinking of what he may have said about me. Or if she would’ve seen me and then told him that he was right to dump me or something :/ I don’t know. It was mostly a shock to see her. She was the last person in the world I wanted to see. LOL that’s how I feel as well. I feel like no one will love him in quite the same way as me. Then again, maybe that’s what he needs.
If he is with her it may be a rebound but we have been broken up for 2 months now so I’m not really sure. I’ve just felt so down this morning and I’m not really sure why. Sometimes I stress that I’m the only one that feels a connection between us and for him, it is all gone. I seriously cannot wait until it’s finally October and I will hopefully be able to hang out with him. I miss him so much, even just seeing him would be nice. Although I’ve been avoiding places that he goes in our town because I don’t want to see him in public somewhere… I might burst into tears!
Oooh I really like some of Kodaline’s songs so I’ll definitely have to listen to that 🙂 Music has really helped me. I just wish I could see in my future and know that everything is alright. Whether I’m with my ex, single or with someone else. I just want to be happy :(((((((( Right now, I feel as though I can’t be happy without him and I know that I have to get to a point where I am. I’m going to try and think about him less, as my councillor said that is just like scratching at the open wound :/

I know that my ex did truly love me. Even weeks before the break up he was so sweet. He came to pick me up from work with some little chocolate hearts for me 🙁 It makes me sad to remember that now but it was so cute at the time. He told me to stop covering up my face because it was beautiful the night we had our last argument and it kind of makes me smile to think about how much he loved me and how sweet he was – how hard he tried to make me happy. But I’m smiling with tears in my eyes because it just doesn’t make sense that he could stop loving me so abruptly?
I read some where that as soon as you put your ex out of your mind and focus on making your life and your happiness better, the sooner they will come back, if they’re your true love. So I’m going to try harder than ever to stop thinking about him. I’m going to come on here once a day and use that as my only time to think about my ex. The rest of the day I’m going to focus on moving forward and feeling happier. I still want to come on here, so that’s why I’ll use that as my time to think about him.
My NC finishes at the end of this month, but I’m going to leave it for a bit. Last time I did no contact my ex actually contacting me on the last day. So it’d be interesting to see if he does that again. If he does then I’ll think that it’s fate or that he’s doing some sort of No Contact thing as well to give me space! Imagine if that happened!! I need to stop getting ahead of myself and fantasising about these things though.
Yeah I know it’s so hard thinking that they might be with someone else. We just have to hope that they haven’t. I mean, we’re amazing people and there’s no way they could just forget about us so easily! Two months is still not that long.
Sri – What are you giving up on? What has your ex said during the talk? I hope you’re okay. Both moonbunny and I are here if you need anything.

Aw honey. Maybe he doesn’t want to talk about the relationship because it’s just too painful. 5 years is a long time and I feel like 2 months is not enough time to get over that hurt. I don’t really know what to suggest because I know you are devastated. Perhaps just keep having time to yourself and cease contact with him for now. Then maybe he will come to you and talk about the relationship when he is ready. I’m really sorry that you’re so sad <3 I wish I could cheer you up some how my dear!
