As I'm sure you can guess today isn't going well for me.
Ex called to wish DS a happy valentine's this morning but I had already left him at daycare. Once I told him that he immediately hung up without another word. I then proceeded to bawl half way to work. Someone please stop me from posting a song about a broken heart to facebook. Because I am feeling the temptation.

Re: As I'm sure you can guess today isn't going well for me.
I know it's hard, but try not to let that bother you. Hanging up on you is rude!
Can you treat yourself to a little pampering at lunch and try to focus on the positive things?
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm just more sentimental than usual today. Of course knowing that he will be with her tonight. I remember last year we stayed home and made lobster. My son was a year old and he ate lobster with us. My little family...
Well I guess I'll post my song here. That should suffice so I won't feel the need to post on facebook.
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go away?
Away
I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July 9th
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms
But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did
Because I love your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
And I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind
So I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last...
I don't know your backstory, but it seems unfair to your boyfriend that you feel this upset about your ex. I know it would devastate me if my bf were this upset and sentimental over an ex.
Here's my vote....dump your current boyfriend, he's obviously not making you forget about your X. Then go out and get a new one and quick get knocked up...that should provide enough of a distraction for you to forget about your X for a little while. Then when you start feeling sad about the X, just repeat!
Seriously....get single, get a good counselor, get over it.
And why did you even bother answering the phone this morning if you had already dropped off your LO? You need to stop engaging in this nonsense.
YWIA!
Amen. I'm assuming this guy's self-esteem is hovering somewhere around a 3 on a 100-point scale if he's willing to date someone who is clearly still in love with someone else.
Yes, but he is wonderful and helping her "heal" and get over the fact that her XH left her for a new "plastic" girlfriend. But they are thinking about getting married and having babies despite her not so distant postings about the "rage" she feels towards XH and how she can't understand how he left her.
You are all caught up now.
