Some dudes here really know how to kick a nigga when he’s down. Goddamn.
But to the people that actually gave me advice worth reading, I’ll really try to take it to heart. A lot of this “letting go” talk is easier said than done, but in the end I know what I need to do here from a LOGICAL standpoint, even if it’s not what I’m wanting emotionally right now. No I wasn’t married to this girl, and no we didn’t have kids. But you’re an asinine jackass if you really think that makes ten years of a friendship going down the drain irrelevant or not hurt. Gimme a fucking break.
All I can do now is push on, and try to keep myself busy as this plays out. Everyone is telling me the same thing, and I have almost no doubts they’re right. She’s already moved on in her head, and I need to catch up. The only thing is I have no idea how long that’s going to take. I’ve had relationships end REALLY shitty before, but this is nowhere near the same. And you’re right @Vynce, if the person you’re with can’t even empathize or care that they’re becoming the source of your pain, I can’t really say I believe it’s love either. If you can’t even talk about shit anymore what’s the fucking point.
Some of you dudes have brought me a lot closer to understanding my situation. And I thank you for that.
Baby steps, now.
