You’ll both be in the wedding?!? AWKWARD! I’m sorry. This whole situation sucks kmen. And you’re totally right. He’s the one missing out on a very good thin
Moneypenny, I actually started typing something similar but didn’t hit submit.
Don’t give up entirely kmen! You’re awesome and I know you’ll find someone awesome.
As MP said, everyone does things differently, but after most of my relationships, with the exception of the ex-fiance, I took long breaks. Sometimes a year, a couple of times longer. It helped me regroup and made me think harder about what I wanted out of a life long partner. I can get attached easily and so these breaks helped me calm down and reassess. During these breaks, I wouldn’t actively search, however, I didn’t close myself off to possibilities either.
FWIW, I do think people come into your life for certain reasons. This guy served some purpose… even if he’s not the right long term partner. I know it doesn’t make it any easier, but I also know you’ll end up being more than fine. You’ll be effing fantastic.
Ugh, kmen. I’m sorry! That’s never a good feeling.
Wow @lucia_la. I’m happy you did that! Good for you and for taking control of the situation. You do deserve better. I’m impressed.
Oh, mine would be too. And I likely wouldn’t be able to do much of anything until it happened. Good luck! And please let us know how it turns out.
@stone, I’m sorry. That sucks. I’m glad you have some friend time planned though. That’s great! Also, I agree about the lucia text thing. Talking about it, even if it’s breaking up (although we don’t know what it is, so yes go in neutral and let him talk first) is way better than never hearing from him again.
Peru, Iceland, Austria… Everyone have super fun trips!!!!!
Kmen, I agree with Lianne. Trust your gut and take care! That would make me nervous too. I had something similar happen once…. all you can really do is be honest. We ended up dating for another couple of years (and engaged). Good luck! This Peru trip is coming at a great time.
Boston is so rich with history and I like all that stuff, so that’s kind of why I want to visit. I’m going to be a big nerd and do all the sites of there and the surrounding areas.
Crap. Sorry I misread! HAVE EVEN MORE IF A BLAST IN AUSTRIA!
Yes, Kate, I know, but I haven’t been and I kind of want to.
Enjoy Austin Nookie! It’s a place high on my list of US places to visit. Basically there, Boston and Maine. I’m crossing Napa off in the fall and I’m not sure about the Southwest yet.
Stone, congrats! I’m happy you’re having a good divorce and I think it’s awesome you two are celebrating it with drinks.
@stone, I love you view on going all in. You’re right, the worst that could happen is it doesn’t work out. And you survive! I wish I would have used this mantra ages ago.
Hahaha. I love this site. And you Wendy! The white with red flowers if it fits.
And kare… I have a hard time saying no sometimes too. But know, it’s ok.
Oh wait, maybe it was kmt who switched up the topic and I tagged along. I also appreciate the RTR discussion. Whatever. Or someone else. I’m too lazy pants to go back and look.
