First of all, its AMAZING that you have come to terms with your break up and realized how much better off you are without your ex at just one month!!! Kudo's to you! You are indeed a strong woman! Even though my breakup was about 6 months ago, reading this was a helpful and supportive outlook. Thanks for taking the time to post this! :)

Sarah,

i'm so glad you said the things you said. After reading your post, i'm beginning to understand and re-evaluate somethings and i think that will help. I broke up with my boy friend a month ago today and my heart is still broken. I told him that i loved him and he wanted to break up instead and i've never felt so disgusting and worthless in my entire life. But now i see that, ironically, things work in mysterious ways for a reason. You can't have something that was never there and even though it still hurts so much, i think that i've learned lots from that experience. I'm so glad you helped me realize that. I mean, would it really have been a good relationship if he continued to NOT be there for me all the time? I was basically single but with the title of "girl friend". And i'm so glad you made me realize that if he couldn't be there for me at that time, it shows just how weak he really is. i wanted it to work so damn bad and i tried so hard. i've never tried so hard at anything in my life and i exhausted myself because of it. Yet, he just wanted to give up. What kind of man is that??? I'm so thankful i logged onto this message board tonight and read your post because it lifted my spirits just s little bit. A little bit makes a huge difference right now.

Thank you so much Sarah!
