....that when you have a boyfriend you wish you were single and you think about breaking up all the time as if it's no big deal...then when you break up you only can remember the few good times and forget all the sad times and are completely devestated. Why? Why am I so sad about him?


Why can't I just be happy now that I'm single and can start over with someone better? No more waiting for the phone...no more feeling like I'm bothering him when all I want to do is spend time with him...6 years down the pooper...Why do I cry at everysong, comercial, movie??? I'm so ashamed of myself.

It's completely normal to feel sad after the end of a relationship. It's better to feel the feelings, get them out, and then you can heal.

Welcome to the board tracey0327,


Everything you feel is normal like Madsen said..... it's all part of the grieving process.
