It has been a year..
It’s been a year since I saw him. A year of misery I had to endure and a year where I had to fight all temptation and live through agony and hate of my life. I have been thinking about this for the past week or so, of how my life has been and how much it has changed over the past year. I was having a conversation with my friend about this and she was asking me, “will you ever go back to him since he seem to still care in his own way?” I knew if I said yes that maybe she had hope for her love to get back to her. It was her way to give her self some hope of her future through my actions. I told her simply without hesitation, “when the glass has been broken and shattered to many pieces, how can you put it back together? With what glue and where to start?”
I wanted to sound as cold and careless about this subject matter as much as I can. Last time he emailed me saying, “lots of people brake up, so what?” In my head I thought, “why was he still bothering to contact me then and arguing back. Why was he still constantly checking this blog and trying to see what’s up with my life?”
Maybe he is hoping that I have moved on and found someone else and maybe he can go on with his life. I don’t know what is going in his head, I never knew what was going on really, and I was never able to understand such a person. Also, I wasn’t anything special. I know I am nothing special. I am just like any other Arab girl. I have noting unique about me or anything. Maybe I am being too harsh about my self. I know I am a unique person. I did change a lot and I know that I have.
I have become stronger as a person, however too emotional. I cannot stand anything or even hearing stories about relationships and love. I don’t even like romance movies anyways, I only watch action and suspense. I don’t even like going to weddings or engagement parties. I feel jealous and hateful towards other people’s love that I feel like crying during the ceremony and at times I do. I keep telling my self, why did theirs work out and I couldn’t maintain mine. I just find it hard to understand. I always think what if we are meant to be with one person in this life, and that’s it. What if you only fall in love once and that’s it?
These thoughts always puzzle me. I tried many times to talk to different people, to move on and meet others. I just cannot force my self to have more than one conversation with that person. I loose interest so quickly and I just ignore. Maybe deep down inside my head I don’t want to meet anyone. I don’t want to fall in love because of the fear of falling in love again. The emotional turmoil and sadness I would have to endure all over again.
I know this is not a positive way of thinking about this. However, what am I supposed to do. Things have changed the past year in my head. My perception of life and love and love and life has changed completely. It got to the point where I hate it and I am disgusted by it. By the way life is. I just can’t stand how much a person sacrifices for the person they love, and they are not appreciated and not loved back. It is just sad.














I don’t think your ex knew how to love. Yes he was nice and friendly at first, but once you tried to get close to him he became hateful. He projected all the time. Meaning he blame you for his own problems and inadequacies. That will always ruin a relationship. There’s a lot of people like him out there. As you know you put up with him way too long and that’s why you suffered so much. Next time you meet someone and they give you bullshit the best thing would be to quickly move on.
thanks jason for the advice.. you seem to be extra concerned with my well being.. i find that very nice of you..
I like it..
anyways.. life goes on right?
No problem. Yes it does go on..and hopefully for the better.
I know this may not help but I was with my ex for 8 years and I had to end it. It was hard and when he had to return back to the Gulf due to his visa expiring we were both devestated. But I knew I had to end it and man, that was HARD. But I try not to let the sadness overwhelm it. Yes, it did for more than a year and now two years later I am slowly but surely moving ahead. He was in my life for that time for a reason. Life is far too short to dwell on the negatives. Every one has their own way of handling loss. For me, it felt almost as if my heart died. I grieved, I was angry, denial and then acceptance.
I hope that one day you are able to find solace and forget about the pain caused by your ex. That you move forward in your life and find the beauty within it. I am 38 and to look back at your age, which was a couple of years before I met him man…..to do it over. Yes, I would but there is nothing I can do to change things. Because you are so young, just live your life…be happy and findd the things in it that will give you strength to move on. :tatty2.gif:
I don’t have any real advice to give you on matters of the heart since I have never fallen in love with anyone which I find a strange fact about myself. Anyways I think you should chalk this failed relationship up to a learning experience and pretend it was trial one. You know how you shop for clothing and try on several different outfits before you find the perfect one. I would look at that way. As the old saying goes you got a kiss a lot frogs before you find your prince.
Found your journal randomly. I know exactly how you feel about this. Tears started to well up reading it lol…
I feel like I should be able to get over him, but the love makes it impossible to see life in the same way any more. I hope for both of our sakes that eventually the pain stops…
mine will eventually stop.. sometimes i think about him.. other times i don’t even remember him..
