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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • I still remember the look on your face
    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...

  • Really???? Why are you so sad? You should be happy and spending the day with your wonderful boyfriend. Right?

  • And this is exactly why you shouldn't have a boyfriend. This is a crazy overreaction for someone IN a relationship.

    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.

  • Are you still with the new boyfriend?

  • 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.

    This is my siggy.
  • I'm so confused. You have a boyfriend???

    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.

    Read the last section of Bowies' "Confessions of a Marriage Therapist" post...that's dmnds in 5 years.

  • Entering into a relationship out of insecurity and stringing someone along is a really gross thing to do.  Your boyfriend deserves better.  I hope he realizes that sooner rather than later.

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

  • You obviously just need more distractions in your life.  Maybe you should go off the pill.  It would be romantic to get KU on v-day.
