    Good points all round there. Thanks for the reminder. And I honestly don't know at the minute - I guess rose tinted glasses
    Easy to do. :)

    But at least you have a record of how your life was with her - admittedly all the bad points (which are pretty bad imho) - to blur those rose tinted glasses a little.

    That's a very good point.


    I'm an optimist, so I guess I hoped it would be different.
  • I just read #17 too, i've never seen this thread before.

    Are you somewhat obsessed with this girl?

    She's had a big impact on me and it's hard to move on, sure. but I was doing fine until I saw her like that.

    Well you are a more compassionate man than me. Hopefully she doesn't mug you off in some way

    I guess when it comes to her I can forgive anything - maybe not a good thing, but she means a lot to me still

    It sounds like she is one of those people that trade on the fact that you have such deep feelings.
    But, if you meant anything to her, she wouldn't have abused you in the ways that you have illustrated.

    I consider you one of the most level headed on here but we all have a weakness and it would appear she is yours.

    So another update since i feel it helps, it's a bit more positive this time.

    So...

    Well i tried to reconcile but it didnt work. And yes i was sad about that. But i'm ok now.

    I found out today she's dating someone (a different guy) and to be honest i'm cool with that. I'm not reacting like I was, i'm actually somewhat happy for her. (Obviously the whole point of this thread comes into play again, but fingers crossed she's realised that it's not a good idea to introduce too soon)

    And a crush from years ago has been in touch a few days back and wants to meet up, which to be honest has really lifted my spirits somewhat anyway. Even if it doesn't lead to anything it'll be nice to get away for a day / evening and go have some fun. 

    So all in all everyone moving on with their lives and hopefully everyone happier.
