It can only get better ladies

hi:) after posting my first message on ivillage.com i was overwhelmed by the caring response that i received and how much i could relate to everyone on this board. I had been with my boyfriend for 6 years and I thought that after this time breaking up - i thought that it was the end. After finding out that he was seeing my ex-best friend I hit rock bottom. I joined this web site looking for answers and I found them. I wish that I could properly thank the person that told me that I was never going to get what I want out of the relationship and that I need to cut off all contact with him and her. Ever since i did that and moved on - Iam a new person! I thank god every night for helping me get through this rough time and realizing that it can only get better from here. Ive enrolled in a nursing program at college, and I'm moving to north carolina to finish up my internship. That is what i have always wanted to do, he was standing in my way and telling me that i couldnt do it.

So in conclusion - thank you ladies for everything - and keep your heads up high - the sky is the limit and it can only get better from here:)

Congrats on your healing process. I love reading posts like yours :) You're right - you can do anything you set your mind to. Good luck with your internship & nursing program. Don't look back with regards to your X-BF & X-best friend... they deserve each other's cheating selves.

Take care & keep us posted.

-Claire

heartbroken--i share your sentiments entirely. i havent posted much on the board during this past month, i've been apartment hunting and moving, and getting busier at work, but i try to read others' posts even if i dont get to reply. everybody on this board has been SO supportive, SO caring--and EXACTLY what i was looking for at a time when none of my friends seemed able to give me what i needed. im eternally grateful for he women on this board, the best advice i received came from here, from people i've never met in my life.

i've going on 6 months since my break up. i didnt ever imagine i'd make it to this point. i couldnt even envision what it might be like 6 months later.

i'm doing really well.

i think of my ex , definitely, but i've been so busy and i've been doing a lot of things nad having fun and living my life. the days when i couldnt even wake up were gone after 2 months...the days when i couldnt go an entire day w/out thinking about him were gone afte 4 months...its so weird ladies. i didnt think this would happen, but time truly is a healer. like i said, i'd be lying if i said i didnt htink of my ex, miss him, and long for the comfort fo a relationship right now. at the same time...its not PAINFUL anymore...its so distant...and i know that everybody will get to this point. and i know i still have a long road ahead of me but i could not have come this far without the help of the women here. so again, thank you all, and kieep posting and supporting each othe r:)
