34. Buying just one Jamba Juice when i go.
35. Wearing my comfy clothes to school without him asking "are you going like that?"
"More and more it seems like I'm doing a really bad impersonation of myself."

Ah! Totally agree on that one...or...

26? The excuses for not giving you quality time (work, school, money etc.)
27. The excuses for not visiting you (once in almost 8 months of LDR.)
28. Making you feel guilty for HATING running or going to the gym
29. Treating you like dirt when he drinks ( yelled at me, picked a fight)
30. Constantly worrying about the future....

Hey you all...this is a great board! Just broke up last night with my boyfriend....again...for good this time! thanks for the great things you all have put here...I feel better already!

Great things I've thought of:

finding yourself again! I know that I've spent too much time giving up who I am to accomadate him because I thought that's what would keep us together...very sad!

not worrying about pissing him off anymore over little things, or getting blamed for everything that goes wrong in his life....

not worrying anymore about your intuition telling you that he is seeing someone else, or feeling like a detective trying to prove it....

going to find someone who will love and appreciate you on your terms,and someone you can trust!

not wondering were the heck he is when he is two hours late for a date with you or coming home,

not having him forget your birthday, anniversary or valentines day,

not getting angry over the above anymore!

dont know the order but...

18.) Not having to deal with the mother in law you were about to have.
19.) NO more baby mama drama

20.) The good feeling of a new start and knowing the right one is still out there!

- NOT having to feel emotionally abandoned while I am with him

I have come to my own rescue! I eam learning to love myself in ways I never have now. Soooo liberating!
