First off I want to thank the community leaders for the time and effort they put into this board and the great advice they give. All your post have helped me very much in dealing with my recent break up. But I have a new problem that you haven't discussed yet. I'm not sure if it's just me or if alot of people have the same issue. It's been 5 months and I'm not over it yet but I'm finding peace. My issue is that everytime I go out I'll see happy couples anywhere ::sometimes I think my mind is playing tricks on me:: but still it annoys me to no end. I envy them and wonder why can't I have a relationship like that. Or like today I seen this cute guy and he smiled at me blah blah you know the drill and when I was walking out to my car he was getting in his too and he clearly already had a girlfriend ::she was sitting in the passengers seat:: it's a little discouraging to try and move on from one relationship to another when it seems like everybody already has somebody. Or a handful of my friends are in what seems like good relationships :: I know that you don't see what's going on behind closed doors:: or their engaged. Granted I'm only 22 and have a whole life ahead of me. I still makes me feel out of place in a way. So my question is what do you do about all the happy couples when your still in pain? It's like a rub in the face.

Hi Blackteardrops20
I am in agreement with you.
Hi blackteardrops20,
We did have a previous discussion on the board about this, but I don't recall how long ago.
I just wanted to let you know I feel your pain...and to stay away from Disney! Ha ha ha. I just spent the day there yesterday and I felt like everywhere I looked there was either a couple on their honeymoon (with their little Mickey and Minnie bride and grooms hats on...gag) or happy families. I stood in line next to a young couple, probably my age (25) with a little baby and they just looked so happy I thought I would cry. Like, why can't I have that?
But everytime my thinking starts to head in that direction I consciously tell myself exactly what you said: we don't know what goes on behind closed doors.
I have the SAME EXACT ISSUE. I'm in a girlfriends wedding in January, and I'm sorta dreading it. Though I'm honored to share her big day Im sad for me. Though I'm looking at it as an opportunity to meet some people.
I try to keep in mind that even the happiest of happy couples have problems. And right now, I have a million problems, but a man aint one :)
Hang tough!
I see this too.
