    Hey a.z

    Thats sweet :), is this the same new guy in you both had a little disagreement about your ex tricking you etc and meeting up etc?

    Thats good though, hes cool with it and yeah I totally get what you mean.

    its Great news that you are travelling together, where is it you are going?.
    It dont matter if you think hes “the one”…I dont think ive ever thought about that with any of my ex’s apart from my most recent (but we knew each other 6+years)….so it just takes time to develop feelings etc.

    He may or may not be the one, Dont think it really matters at moment as long as your happy and enjoying spending time with him etc πŸ™‚

    Im going to China for 4 days or so on a business trip in about 2-3 weeks…and ive got some holidays to take..so guess what!..im going to be taking a weeks holiday and heading over to Taiwan on my own :D….so Ill have about 10 days or so in Taiwan…got that to look forward to haha.

    Youll have to give me your email or FB so can speak to you now and again

    Thats good to know what your doing with the new guy now, I undertand where ehs coming from as no-one likes anyone talking to their ex…Its natural for him to try to hide it a bit as itll be eating him up but wont want to spoil it with you.

    Like you said just tell him straight you want to take it slow, its the same with this enw girl she seems very intent on getting a boyf, (she even told me before i took her on a date) but thats not what I want.

    Someone told me before, that instead of reading their ex’s texts and feeling bad (like you are) as thats perfectly normal. what they would do is delete the text before even reading it. so they could never know what was in the text!…you cna try that! although I think you would need to be really strong to do that!! ha, I dont know if i could do it myself because curiosity would probs get the better of me ha.

    As for my ex, well if shes contacts me, NO!….im not going to reply ;), Im really really going to try and go at least 2 weeks without a reply ha. curse my good natured personality! ha.

    Hey A.z

    The new girl seems very keen, I been seeing her a few times and going round to hers etc she talks to me everyday and always wants me to go round, but I dont see her as gf material if im honest and tbh i just dont want a relationship just yet!

    Few other girls talking to me too, but again im just talking to them, im not too fussed about rushing into a relationship just yet πŸ˜‰

    My ex got back yesterday but not heard from her yet, but we will see!

    How are things with yourself nowadays then? xx

    Thats absolutely good to hear πŸ™‚ and yeah, see how things go and contact him in a few months etc or see if he contacts you, i suspect he will contact you tbh.

    Im doing good thanks, After a week of ignoring my ex’s “Starvving” message…again 1 week later, she messaged me yesterday…to which I replied!! Urgh! ha

    Basically she just said “hiya, how are you doing, I had a quiet weekend bla bla, did you have a good weekend? x”

    So I replied, saying that im doing very good thanks!..Why did she have a quiet weekend and yeah I had a good weekend thanks for asking x”

    She replied telling me what she had done and asked me what I did at weekend.

    I havent replied to her and im not going to (hopefully :)) SHe goes to Barcelona this weekend, so no real point in me messaging her as im sure shell just change subject to her going away etc.

    So going to try not to speak to her and see if she messages me next week when she comes back

    Hey A.z

    Im really sorry to hear about the dirty trick your ex pulled. I dont care how much he misses you or anything, it was a dirty trick.

    At end of day, theres a difference between showing someone how much you care etc and well…just been selfish and wanting something you cant have.

    Your mutual friend should of just told him no, and left it at that because as much as he wants to help you both, its not helping you at all. and your ex should respect your decision….”Passenger – Let her go” lyrics

    Im sorry and glad to hear about the new guy…Its good that you got to see this side of him before anything serious.
    Theres a few things I would like to say from My opinion and from a guy.

    Its good that hes sticking up for himself etc and sounds like hes been mature about you needing more time etc, you dont want a bloke been a doormat and I would probably act the same way, Maybe not as angry as him though, but like you said you couldnt hide his emotion (anger) he probably couldnt hide his.

    I went through the same thing with my ex (the one im on this site for! ha)..she was with my best mate for 6 years and she was adamant how much she was over him etc and loved me, but I could still see her get angry about him even after 8 years, then when I told her how much he cheated on her and what not, she still felt HUGE emotions!…I know you care about your ex…that will never go away I dont think!…Like both my ex’s care about me, but they are happy in a relationship

    But he needs to understand this!..he surely should know if from what you described about him saying something about a relationship for 5 years or something…and yeah I dont know what his personality is like, but you know better then us how he came across in the conversation, whether he was too angry etc.

    I think your handling it very well and if things dont go well with this new guy as in neither of you talk again, its an experience…but dont let your ex ruin things for you in this or the next date guy etc.

    Was a last resort to stir emotions up in you and if hesaw you cry etc that will give him a bit of comfort.

    Just carry on as you were!! Best of luck a.z

    Rise above it mate, I know its horrible and that but we all go through the same stuff and well…just got to move forward!

    Even if you did ask the guy how he knows your ex etc…chances are he wouldnt tell you the truth

    As for your ex emailing you, is this the first time shes contacted you in a while? I know shes been talking to the guy infront of you at the gym etc but has she been talking to you? I may have missed some updates! ha

    I know you shouldnt be thinking about your ex…but hey ho what can you do!…we all do it!…Last Night I had a dream about ym ex and it was HORRIBLE! haha, and its been playing on my mind all morning, ive actually got headache! ha

    My ex messaged me yesterday just with a simple message saying “Starrvvvving” and ive ignored her…as im doing what a.z and my friend said. but it is hard,…maybe thats why I had this horrible dream about her lol

    Chin up mate πŸ˜€

    Hey a.z

    Thanks so much for your help πŸ™‚

    Yeah your totally right, I havent gave her anytime to miss me really, because everytime she does, I end up replying to her coz i hate been ignorant. So your post makes a lot of sense and I also spoke to my friend last night

    So we were talking last night and he basically said the same as you, stop talking to her and what made ALOT of sense was he said “look at your 2 previous exes, both times you aint spoke to them for 1yr-2yr, but both of them have made the effect to speak to you now, so dont worry about, not speaking to your most recent ex, coz she will probably do the same”

    So yeah it made a lot of sense :)…and if she doesnt speak to me…well then its her loss. Honestly the hardest part for me is the “ignoring” not coz im chasing her ha etc…but because I find it hard to ignore ANYONE…like its impolite haha. but im defintiely going to do it now…if she hates me for it…so be it.

    As for your situation, im so proud of you where you are now :)…it takes a LOT to walk away, like you said, your not so sure itll work with your ex and its the right thing to do…its actually easier to simply go ahead and jump right back into the “comfort” area with your ex, so props for not doing that and giving this new guy a chance!

    Keep us posted with your new guy :)…obviously you wont come back here as much as you used to as now youll be busy etc and thats just normal, but a nice post of how your new date/relationship is going would be so cool πŸ™‚

    Thanks a lot! and glad we can be friends with each other and help through the situation, especially since we both opposite sex to each other, think thats a big help haha xx

    Hey A.z

    Things are going good thanks, I posted an update in my thread, so my update is in there basically.

    But aside from that, Still wonder about my ex etc and she still talks to me..still unsure of what to do, completely cut her off or just be normal with her now as I dont see anything happening with us.

    More importantly, How are things going with yourself? What made you tell your ex your dating and how did he take it?

    Im curious because throughout all of this breakup we both have been at same stages almost and well Ive technically been “Dating” a girl, stayed at hers, took her out etc, but I dont “Like” her and shes not girlfriend material….my other ex has also been talking to me too!

    So yeah, how are things going with the new guy? Love to hear some updates.

    How are you feeling about it all etc, as you said you cried for hours etc. I think you know yourself that now youve told your ex your dating, he may become quite bitter and angry and then also try chasing you A LOT!…so be prepared for that πŸ™‚

    Thanks xx

    Haha, Everyone misses the Sex, but in all honestly I know you said “its sad that I miss the sex the most”

    You may THINK that, but I think we are all just associating the sex with the ex etc…Its like I agree totally with you, that I also think Sex with my ex was the best ive ever had!

    The things we did together, things I did with her and how comfortable we were together..I think “omg im never going to find that again, she was the best” etc “Omg now shes going to be doing all that stuff with other people and not me” and those thoughts drive me wild!

    But lets be realistic, its not the sex you miss, its the closeness you developed, because if it was just the sex that we all missed….no doubt everyone of us would be hitting the streets and getting laid and we wouldnt be here posting.

    Why are we all here? Because its the bond we all made with our ex’s and of course sex is part of that but its the bond that made the sex great!

    You will find someone else to have that closeness with because the closer and comfortable you are in a relationship the sex will get better imo

    All my ex’s Sex I thought was the best, but now I think my most current was the best ;)….but im hoping I can find someone else to beat that too πŸ˜‰

    Dont worry mate,its all normal

    I still think about my ex and still thought whilst I was in my Trip…its perfectly normal.

    The only thing I will say is, You just answered your own question.
    “If I dont contact her, I feel we will never speak again”…If thats true…Why bother contacting her?
    Someone has to reach out at some point so I wont say dont ever contact her, but curious how much NC are you trying to do?

    Ive contacted my ex numerous times and each time has replied to me etc…but its nothing more then that, she even said to me herself, It doesnt matter if I do stuff with other people…if she wants me she will come get me.

    Stay Strong πŸ™‚
