What a great idea for us to come here and support each other through these difficult times. Just reading all your posts made me feel less alone and comforted me a bit. I guess I don't have to tell you all I just broke up... it sucks. A lot. Doesn't it? When you feel like you've found "the one"... when you've been so happy and for no explicable reason it just ends.

We returned from an awesome vacation... we had the best time! Within a week of returning we had distance between us, by end of week two we were getting on each other's nerves. We thought we were spending too much time together... now I think he was seeing an old flame. I can't confirm this 100%, but I can get to about 85%. It's the first time I've ever been cheated on. That sucks too.

I like to think I'm handling this well, haha! What I've realized is that I'm on a rollercoaster. Right now, I'm okay... in another 30 minutes I'll be in tears. Off and on for a while, I'm sure. We've all made it through breakups before, right? :( We deserve our Prince Charmings! We deserve love and we're gonna find it... ya-ra-ra. Okay, positive energy is used up. I have to go get a cake for a baby shower I'm going to in a couple hours - I would give a lot to skip this particular chore. I'm happy for my friend, but she's so in love with her great husband.... it's a little hard for me to see right now. But she deserves to be happy, and I'm happy for her. Thanks for listening. I think my rollercoaster just took a downward turn, lol! Good thing I can shed tears in the privacy of my car while picking up the cake! :)

Thanks for posting this msim. Sorry you're hurting... it' nice to have a place where we can all commiserate, huh? :-)

Sounds like you're keeping things in perspective. Hang in there...

I agree with your totally. I love the support I have found here. It's so wonderful!

I am very sorry to hear that you have broken up with your boyfriend. A little note though, if he did indeed cheat on you as you suspect, he was not "the one". (HUG)

Yes, it's a hard time to go through, but having people like you to go through it with makes it a bit easier. How long were you with your guy?
