    Thanks CaroleM!

    Might have to try the facebook thing. I've put Daniel on my Christmas and birthday list for the past 3 years and so far none of my family have come up with the goods. I don't think they are trying hard enough!

    It will haunt the !!!!!! for years that you didnt even try to persuade him to stay & also give him the slight suspicion that you may just have found someone else bigger & better. Trust me girls, there's always someone bigger & better out there for you, because you are so damn FABULOUS :A.[/QUOTE]

    I agree with Lula, I ingnored my ex for 6 weeks guess who's started texting and would I like to go out for a drink? my reply well obviously I would seen as were friends, but rather busy at mo. As I was the one who dumped him guess who thinks I got it wrong and I shouldn't have blah blah, so I've been lying low and just keeping quiet, I'm sure I ain't got it wrong, in fact damn sure I haven't, and given time I will find someone else who isn't too critical all the time.

    Nic where abouts in NY are you I have family in Pickering.

    You are so right eco. Lie low and no contact. Give yourself time to realise that, whilst painful, splitting up is the right thing to do.

    I live in Harrogate and work in Wetherby.

    Harrogate's lovely for shopping, my mum's buried on a nature reserve in Knaresborough, so do a bit of shopping then go up to Knaresborough it's a good day out, and sometimes we go for a walk in a wood that's nearby.

    Splitting up was painful this time and I realised it's cos I believed every word, or maybe I was hoping it would work out this time, but I'd forgotton the bad points and remembered the good ones, but hopefully I learnt a bit this time.

    Both Harrogate and Knaresborough are lovely. I tend to go out in Knaresborough more in the evening as most of my friends live there.

    Each time I start a new relationship I have high hopes that maybe this time it will work. The most pain I felt was when my marriage broke down. Not because it had ended but because of the way it ended. However, after a few months the feeling of relief completely outweighed the pain.

    I have managed to build a friendship with one ex-boyfriend. We had no contact for just over a year after we split. When we saw each other again I told him a few home truths about what a terrible boyfriend he was and we went from there. We are now good friends.

    Well I am done with relationships. I have never been the jealous or possessive type and I never want to be as the small taste of it over the last month is a living hell. :( I used Mr. Fire Fox's Facebook account last night to look at pics of Lilmissmup's cats (cute!): he was a bit cagey about logging on for me and then went straight to bed ....

    Messages to four girls over the past year - two harmless flirting (except one is an ex and the other the **** he cheated with), two explicitly sexual although with a jokey element. The most recent was just five days after he admitted cheating.

    Sorry to bring the thread down ladies. :o

    I'm supposed to be working but, rant away. we've probably all been there I felt like bashing my ex with a bat haven't yet but I could do.

    You know deep down your better off without him but it takes so long for your head to realise that, if you want to do something on a weekend let me know cos I can drive to Bradford and it might help to get out even if it's just for a coffee, I love this site cos it's the only place that I don't feel odd for still been single, and I know I'm not the only one who meets the bad ones.
