Needing words of encouragement

I'm on Day 5 of giving my boyfrind space. I have not called, emailed or sent a text. This week has been horrible but today seems even darker than the others. I'm having a hard time not to break down at my desk. I never thought I could miss someone like this! This message board has sent very encouraging words this week and I'm really in need of some more this morning.

little_one,

I am so sorry you are going through this. This is almost the exact situation I was in a few days ago. My boyfriend of 5 months wanted space. I couldn't give it to him. He had kissed another girl a few days before that, and I think he was stringing me along because he didn't know which one he wanted. It hurts so bad. We just broke up last night and the pain feels unbearable at times. I hope your relationship turns out better than mine. Know that my thoughts are with you.... I've been told the pain will subside and I hope it does.

Thank you pikaia! I'm so sorry you are going through this too. Everyone says take one day at a time. Well I'm having to take it one minute at a time. You hang in there too!

One minute at a time.. Gosh, do I know that feeling. I'm on lunch break right now and decided to soak up some sun outside to make myself feel better. It helped a bit, but now I'm back in the office and it's all flooding back again. I'm gonna hang in there.. thanks :)

Ugh. I get the urge to cry at my desk a million times a day. And, I work with my ex in an office...so I hear him walk by, talking to others, laughing, having a great day...and he just ignores me like I'm not even there. I know he's not trying to hurt me, but it KILLS me when he walks by and doesn't say anything...or when he leaves for the day and doesn't say goodbye. We used to live together, and at the end of the day, all I keep thinking about is how I wish I was going back home with him to cook dinner and snuggle up by the tv with him and the dog or something. It's making my work hell, and it's making me sick. I don't want to get a new job because other than my "relationship" problem, I like my job and make a decent living. And...I just bought a condo, so I'm afraid to just quit and not have a guaranteed income. I just wish we'd get back together. I guess time will eventually make eveyrything better. Going through this just SUCKS.
