Pammi 0 #27 March 12, 2002 Sky, everyone's said it all. You deserve better, it's that simple. And you CAN have it. It's scary but worth it. You already have the upper hand in that you're not financially dependant upon him. Good luck!!Closing pin jewelry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #28 March 12, 2002 QuoteI love him, but this is not working for me.That says it all. You are the most important person in your life. Cutaway. Like several people here told me just a week ago when I was dealing with the same kind of thing.... you are worth FAR better than him! And believe me, you'll be much happier alone than you are wondering what he's thinking, feeling, doing.... pull and flare,lisa--I'll be in the bar... you'll find me...

airann 1 #29 March 12, 2002 I have done this 100 times already...It wound up having to do with Self Esteem, and some other stuff. Your are a door mat. You are convienient. You provide for him. ...what was it you got again, Oh yeah.. 2 times he told you he loved you with the aid of drugs.... Heh.. I am thinkin that doesnt count ... Not for anything worthwild, anyway. (did you say 2 yrs?)I am really hoping you are a skydiver at this point!Start thinking how cool you can re-fix up your apmt for yourself happiness after he is OUT.. think of all the stuff you can do when you can not worry about him anymore, you should have tons of time when those thoughts are gone. ... Reroute thoughts to concentrate on you only. Nobody else.. You are the ONE. You jump from airpanes Right? This should be easy.. Same thing, 1st jump= scared, unsure of what will happen, thinking you will feel like you are falling and be out of control and die.Nope. Everything was great...Cut away from (maybe/maybe not) true love=... scared, unsure of what will happen, thinking you will be out of control and die.Same thing... not what you expect... it is going to be what you make it.YOU make it ok. YOU make it alright. Definately get a cat or dog. And get a cudley one. I have 3 dogs and the lap dog turns out to be the Great Dane, yeah... it is he who sits in lap.So the world is a freaky place. There are those who would love you SO MUCH more than that. Going for take out- you find him 3.5 hrs later at the bar. Not what he said he was going to do. He forgot where he was going or what? What did you do eat a sandwinch?Sister girl - this is unexceptable behavior. You are carring so much dead weight it is pathetic. Believe me I have done this a million times. Think of a plane in a nose dive with too much baggage. Get your chin UP. and get out of the dive. Make a life for your self by which you only see the clouds NOT what is beneath you.The hardest part is the initiation of the deal. If you dont know how to do this. Ask a close friend to get him out, then change the locks. Do not go to where he is. Avoid those places. Switch dz'z for a while and dont call him. Cut fully away and grieve for 5 minutes and walk the dog. Listen to Allenis Morriset, or Melissa Ethredge - (sp?) for a while and scream to the music. And get MAD. Baby steps... but first get him out of your life. Concentrate on NOT what would have been cool, cause it is NOT there. Think about what will be cool with Mr Next.You are already one of the coolest girls on the planet cause you skydive. If you are not a skydiver, become one. This will fix everything.Cause if you can jump out of an airplane, you can do anything. Ann ~ www.AirAnn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to do the same damn thing...three years with a guy who used to make sure every day that I knew I was stupid and worthless. At least he was reliable. I met him when I was 18.Get rid of his stupid ass, and be alone for a while. Date and stuff if you want, but don't let anyone move in with you or be your boyfriend. You've got some baaaad ways of looking at yourself that you need to work through. You are awesome. You are a skydiver.

That will only hurt your self-esteem more, you need to be very confident to do the boytoy thing and not get attached. You will only end up getting hurt when he decides that new blond tandem student would make a much better girltoy.If you need to be with someone/something get a puppy, especially one in the high engery needs lots of training category. (ie Australian Cattle Dog) You will be so busy trying to train it right and taking it to obidiance school you won't have time for the 2 legged dogs. Trust me the 4 legged dogs worship you alot more than the 2 and every time you feed them or play with them they think you are wonderful. Plus as a bonus you can put them on a leash, tie them to a tree and leave them while you jump, and you don't have to worry about them going anywhere.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Michele 1 #40 March 12, 2002 Hi, Skystorm - you have gotten great advice from the folks here. I wish I knew "then" what I know now....Without going into morbid detail, don't let your need for love be your weak spot. It should be your strong point. It was my weak spot, so someone treated me like shit for many years before deciding to leave (said decision made from a hospital bed, btw)...Yes, it is hard alone. But no harder than constant reinforcement that you are no good, not worth the time and consideration, not valued enough. How can you learn to value yourself with that kind of information being constantly sent to you? You can't.Get him out. Do as they say - without violence. Get his stuff into a truck for him, and then change the locks. And then cry - long, hard. Greive for yourself, for the relationship, for him. And then, get on with the business of finding out who you are, what makes you tick. Find out what you want in a man, and in a relationship. Discover who you are by yourself - you'll be surprised as to what you learn. I learned I had the courage to skydive. And if I could jump out of a plane, for chrimeny's sake, I could do just about anything, you know? And from there, learned I could write. And learned what I had to say was sometimes valued, and sometimes devalued, but it was always worth me saying it.You are worth the world. Find that out about yourself - you will find that out about yourself - and then find the man you want to share your wonderful world with. Women can be happy and complete without men, without relationships, without abuse. Find that out (hint: you already have), and you will find the relationship you should and deserve to have - loving, respectful, joyous, and free. It will contribute to you and not take from you. I am still looking for that relationship, but very content to be who I am all by myself right now.You are fine, Skystorm. You are worth the love and respect. You are totally excellent and kewl. Now just discover what the rest of us already know. And to judge by the numbers of responses and the tone, you can always come here for reassurance.Ciels and Pinks-MicheleIf you really want to, you can seize the day; if you really want to, you can fly away...~enya~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites airdrew20012001 0 #41 March 12, 2002 People have already said all the wise stuff.
