    Welll……..Hello there peeps!

    Got back from my 2 weeks travelling on Friday in UK from Berlin on the Thursday Night/Friday morning…no rest for the wicked as I went straight to a Festival for the Fri,Sat :D..So now I can call myself FestivalDavid haha

    Going to leave this short and sweet because im absolutely shattered and feel so weak!

    but I had an amazing time!…Met some amazing people from all over, aussies, Kiwi’s, canadians, Brits, Brazilians and irish etc.

    Had such a laugh, started talking to a group of Aussie girls who were all on a topdeck tour, the group was was 40 girls and 7 guys (That’ll do for me ;)), they loved me so I first met them in Prague and followed them on their bar crawl and then also met up with them in berlin for my final night and crashed at their hostel ;).

    Now back to reality! ha

    Hope your all still staying strong, I might try to back read if I have some time….but think youve posted like 30 pages! or something haha.

    Anyone provide a quick update/summary? I think i saw that some of you are adding each other on FB? Im up for that…not sure how to go about it though ha.

    Keep strong people.

    My ex has still been messaging me..not sure why, its like shes been competitive, she asked how the travel were going but then she instantly flips the convo back to been all about her and how good time shes having etc lol (I dont actually care, im just been polite)…and today she rang me coz she wanted someone to talk to and pretty much just told me how shes been staying up 24 and 48 hours non stop etc and been doing loads of drugs…I didnt really react if im honest..and I havent initiated contact for at least a month now…we only talk if she messages me

    Look forward to speaking to you all again 😀 xx

    Hey guys I just finished my exams and have fun tonight! Didn’t get time to catch up with your posts but i’ll read tomorrow to catch up 🙂

    So I have been doing great! I got high and down from time to time tho, but most of the time I was doing really great!

    I don’t know about American/Western culture here, but some of my friends have been talking me and my breakup behind me… That doesn’t make me feel good.

    And I want to recommend the movie The Secret to all of you! It helped me a lot when I was down, I just forced myself to feel good, and it worked most of the time!

    Hope everyone is having fun today! I love you all!!

    Hi Sunshinegirl – Great work on completely your exams. Enjoy the next few days off and unwind, have fun with your friends as you certainly deserve it. Not sure if I know what is your plan from here? Are you now on holidays? Is it time for you to start looking for a job? or is straight back into study?

    Festival Dave – Welcome back, too much to provide a summary. Dara is out on the scene with lots of girls. It seems he gets on average 20 phone numbers every day 😛 A.Z was the killer at replying to everyone posts until she went on a date…and we haven’t heard from her since. The guys name was Hannibal Lector, he sounded like a nice guy who is a master chef and sociologist. So hopefully he is treating her well. As for the rest of us…not much has change and it is the same old same.

    Sinead – hey girl you’re not the only one to struggle. I still every day and it hasn’t got any easier and as you say it feels like you are not making any progress. Lately I have been going through a stage of feeling pathetic because nothing in my life seems to be working out. My social circle is just not really happening, its been hard to make new friends…maybe I’m just coming across a little desperate for friends right now. it rough and it is one day at a time as I feel 4 months on I still spend 6 nights a week on my couch feeling miserable. When I was going out with my ex and even before that I had a great social circle and was involved in various stuff, that all came to a grinding halt with the breakup. Hang in there girl. Did your Ex reply to your text message at all?

    Rihanna – Whoa, I read your comment on the main page. Naughty girl. I think you have got to ask yourself what is it you want from him. Do you want a relationship or not? It seems like you guys are forever going to be hurting each other until you make that decision to get back together or move on. If you move on then you need to cut all contact with him, otherwise he will continue to play your heart strings and lead you on. If you want to get back together then you need to make it clear to him that he needs to commit to that. None of this back and forth sexting that is going on

    Hi Everyone!

    It’s been a while but I did my exam and passed with flying colours ;D

    Steve, omg I’m so embarrassed and I’m shocked at myself cos that’s something I would never do. But this ex of mine brings out the bad in me somehow OOPS! I was hoping you wouldn’t read it but in my defense though sexting was happening I wasn’t really indulged, like I wasn’t saying or doing much he was doing the majority of it haha. Still I felt bad. And I was very firm with him after that this should NEVER happen not on the phone, not in reality, not even in his sleep, not even in his dreams! I agree 100% with you I should either make him commit or cut him loose and I’m leaning towards the latter part but only time will tell…

    Dara, ladies man! I’m so happy you’re mingling more and getting out there… That’s right, you’re a great guy who won’t let an ex get in the way of your greatness. Go out, have fun, meet girls and just LIVE! good luck 😀

    Festive Dave, missed you… you’re the only one here who has managed a few trips and holidays going through a break up hahah… RESPECT! I’m glad you’re enjoying life and keep us updated with any new news, new girl 😉 …

    A.Z- Ok we get it! you went on a date and it was great and you’re happy again, YAY! But we miss you so please come back here and share a happy story with us, we could really need a happy story…

    Sinead, We’ve all struggled and I think it’s the process of moving on. It may not seem like you are moving on now but one day it will hit you that you’re better off without him. But like I said to you via FB, your messages don’t appear in inbox so go ahead and send a text. Good luck my beauty 🙂

    Sunshine girl, good to hear from you 🙂 … I will watch ‘The Secret’ and hopefully it will help me too :)… I’m glad your exams are over so what’s next for you? If you have time you should go on a get away for a couple of days, that would be good 🙂 … good luck!

    Daniel and Raed, Where have you guys been? I bet you two just bumped into each other and became real friends and forgotten about us here… lol. What’s going on in your world?

    All my love to you all xxx

    You guys, I made a major fuck up!

    He didn’t reply to the text so last night at midnight (in my drunken state) I phoned him and HE ANSWERED but I got such a shock I didn’t say anything! My mind went blank and I bottled it. He kept saying ‘hello?’ ‘hello?’ ‘hello?’ and I couldn’t think of anything natural to say so I hung-up…

    God that was a perfect opportunity and I messed it up because that’s the first time he’s answered the phone since I started acting crazy.

    Do you think it was a good thing that he even answered? Where do I go from here???

    Hey there,

    Thats good to hear from you all, same old same old eh? Well last I read everyone was doing well…so thats good then I guess?

    Rihanna

    Hiya :)…Ha Thank you, yeah im loving it oh and in terms of a new girl…I kept this quiet because its not a “new girl” that im interested in getting a relationship with, so I never mentioned it, but about 1 month ago I did some stuff with a girl, and before that I went out with another girl as a friend, i know she liked me..

    As for the holidays…well…basically I met a girl in every country and did stuff.. haha..Brazilian, Aussie, UK etc…There was a group of about 40 aussies and they all loved me :D/….So Sadly no new girl because im not looking for that just yet, Hoping to meet up with a few of the women I met on my travels though aswell as another from my previous trip. We shall see how things go.

    Sinead I dont know how crazy or your story etc, but Did he know it was you that called him? like was it your number or anything?

    Either way, if he knew it was you or not, just dont mention it. Dont say anything to him about it, dont apologize to him etc. If he did know it was you, he will be wondering why you called him etc. So let him wonder and ride it out 🙂

    Joe –
    I’m impressed by your therapy story and I hope you’re doing better and better every single day!

    Steve and Rihanna –
    Thanks for caring about my plans!! Actually my school started last Wednesday already, but thanks to Labor day, I got one day off!! Going for shopping and making myself happy 🙂

    Then I’ll put a lot of efforts in my studying (I’m currently in graduate school) and job hunting! The career season is coming! The biggest career fair will be on Sept 10th, awww I need to rock that! Wish my luck! It’s hard for an international student but I’ll do my best!

    Steve –
    I hope you’re getting better now! You’re such a strong guy in my heart 🙂 I saw you talk to people (especially in one post regarding depression) to encourage others, and you’re always hanging in there. I admire that!

    Rihanna –
    I believe that movie will help you! It’s talking about positive thinking, but I feel like it’s more than that

    Also are there a lot of people here already friends on FB? Cool thing!

    A.Z az az az az az az –
    It seems that you don’t come here as much, all I am hoping is that you’re feeling ok! Your body, your mood, hope you’re extremely healthy and happy!!! Because you’re so amazing, you deserve all the wonderful things!

    Dara –
    I adore your courage and bravery to let go! I feel like you’re going a have tons of fun right away!

    Sinead –
    Don’t ever worry! It’s not bad at all! I think he answering the phone at least shows that he’s not in the defense stage anymore 🙂 And I feel like you may need to stop contacting him for a short period of time unless you have reasonable reason to explain what the “calling but not saying anything” part 🙂 Best of luck!

    Alright I’m ready for lunch with friends and then shopping! Everyone have a blast today!

    “Live the life he/she wants to a part of” – Amazing quote! I read it from a buddy here but I forgot who.. It’s still nice to share it tho 🙂

    Love,
    Sunshinegirl (I just knew there’s a “sunshine” in the forum already, so similar names haha)

    Hi Festival David,

    My phone is on private number, but its nearly always on pn anyway so he would know that it’s probably me plus no one rings him that late at night apart from me…

    Thanks sunshinegirl for your comment. I was in NC for 4 months and I sent him a pm on fb a month ago which I don’t think he recieved because we’re not fb friends so my text and call yesterday was first contact in 5 months…

    Hey lovely oldies,
    I’ve missed you <3 <3 <3 I’m sorry i haven’t been available.Our plan for our first date kinda changed.We went camping with my friends and he came with us.He is amazing.I really like him.

    Dara,
    I’m glad your having fun.

    Steve,
    LOL,no i’m not that easy.Actually we didn’t have any time to have sex LoL:))) .
    How are you doing?are you feeling better?

    Rihanna,
    There was no internet access and my phone died.I will be here for ever.
    I told him about you.I said i have a beautiful friend who is artist and looks like Cathrine zeta-Jones.Can you believe it?He is an artist.I really like him.

    And i read your post on the home page.I think your ex does love you.He is afraid of losing you and thats why he started that sexting.He wanted to make sure if you still have feelings for him.

    FestivalDavid,
    I’m glad your back.Seems like you are doing well.I’m so happy for you.
    My ex contacted me.He texted me and trired to get me emotinal,then he called me 4 times.Then he called my best friend and asked her where i was.Then again called me but i didn’t answer any of that.

    Sunshine girl,
    Well done! Your exams are finished.You should go out and have some fun.Hope you are feeling better xoxo

    Oldies,

    awww, thats so good to know that your doing well and you really like this other guy.

    I think your doing absolutely great with how you are doing now and not responding to him etc. I cant say what the smiley face could be 1000 different things but I think hes just trying to grab your attention.

    You said he TRIED to get you emotional…which tells me that it didnt work? which is great because previously you DID used to get emotional, just like me. He can definitely sense that!..hence the calls and random smiley etc.

    Carry on how you are and see how things go with this new guy
    Im so happy for you :D.

    Ill post an update to my thread in next few days I think

    great stuff a.z. :D:D

    Sinead,

    I hope your feeling better…. I completely know where your coming from on all this. I’m 1 1/2 mo of NC and still dont know what I’m going to do at the 3 month mark.

    Few questions for you: How long did you guys date? Why didnt you send the magic letter (the plan) at the 3 month period?

    Hi Joe,

    It’s all very complicated with us but I’ll try to explain briefly…

    We were together for less than a year the last time we were together, but we’ve been best friends since we were kids. We were together in our late teens but then I left the country and about 8 years later we were together again for a year but he had to leave so we were in a long distance relationship for nearly 3 years where we didn’t see each other at all and just spoke / wrote to each other all the time. We finally got together again this last time and we were going to get married until I had to move to another city for work (3 years ago).

    The reason I waited until 4 months to send the letter is that I acted crazy for months so I think he needed that time away from me. We hadn’t seen each other for 2 years (because I moved to the cty for work) and only reconnected last august and then I spent months annoying him and acting all clingy all the time (really unlike me). I started NC in April because we had another argument via text.

    a.z.,

    Don’t tell me that this Italian guy is your ex boyfriend’s friend! Isn’t it him? If it’s him, I don’t like the idea! It will hurt your ex a lot when he comes to know about it later!

    Welcome back! There are a lot of not replied posts. I realized that Kevin has added a short link to “Topics with no replies”. It makes it much easier for benevolent people like you to find out which posts need replies. Good idea by Kevin!

    By the way, I truly missed you as a friend in these days!

    Steve,

    I have also discovered some girls with extremely politeness lately. For example you invite them somewhere, they’ll say, “wowww! That’s awesome! I would love to join you but I am busy on that particular day” and they reiterate this sentence again and again wherever and whenever you invite them.

    There is another class of girls, who say, “I’m not looking for a boyfriend but I would like to hang out with you” and I repeat that I’m looking for a girlfriend but they reiterate the above line. Eventually, after 3 days of texting, no outcome! ha ha ha ha… I guess I should think before texting! 😀

    Sunshinegirl,

    I met a hot girl lately but she keeps talking about her exams and homework. She reminds me of you. Fortunately she accepted my invitation to hangout this weekend but she’s not be available till weekend!

    Anyway, I congratulate you on accomplishing you exams. Take it easy. Rumors can happen everywhere. It’s human nature.

    By the way, I don’t like tons of fun. I prefer one 100lbs to 140lbs (or equivalently, 50kg to 65kg) fun! 😉

    Sinead,

    That’s good news that he picked up the phone! I believe that you have good chances now. He must be thinking on why you didn’t reply him back. Believe me that he thinks more often about you now! This plan was smart, I guess!

    Rihanna,

    You reminded me of my early 20s! Sexting! Woahhh!!! I did not do sexting in my last relationship. I even missed a chance to sext when our relationship went bad in response to my ex’s text. Anyway, it’s all gone! I should do sexting very soon! 😀

    Daniel,

    You better find a girl to help her fight cancers! I just read in a “real scientific” magazine that squeezing boobs helps in shrinking cancer cells in breasts!

    Festival David,

    That’s really awesome that you can travel so easily! My wedding with a.z. has been canceled and she is going to marry this new rebound guy. Do I have chances? We broke up last week and she did not reply my last email. ha ha ha…

    David, I also recommend you help us fight breast cancers! 😀

    RAED,

    How do you do? Miss you here!

    Everyone,

    I also feel low but I don’t know why that my real life friends think that I am like a stone! Even in my worst days of relationship, people told me that it seems like I am having fun—I didn’t! Yesterday, a (girl) friend asked me about my ex. I told her that I have no idea. She replied like, “so you are dating someone else now?”. I don’t feel good when others assume that it was me who has dumped her! In other words, I don’t feel good when she can act like a victim!
