How do you get over an ex?

[alfieb]

At ABF you said you were at that time.

I said a lot of things at ABF.

I alternate between brutal honesty and absurd trolling and sarcasm based on my level of boredom.

Then what's to feel miserable about? If your emotional attachment wasn't strong enough to motivate you to visit her then I don't see why you were miserable for so long. Obviously it wasn't seen as important.

She lived here. She chose to attend school there. I was on the phone with her all night nearly every night. We decided to get married. Stuff dumb kids do. It wasn't so much about her as it was about the betrayal and questioning whether it really was my fault and whether I could do anything to prevent it from happening again. Eventually I managed to move on. I'm sure part of the naive dumb kid in me died with that relationship, though. A shame. I liked him.

Oh, and I'm kind of an asshole. If the guy she fucked hadn't been homeless I probably wouldn't have been half as bothered by it.

Yeah, I'm kind of lazy. Listening to The Smiths and sleeping alot is about it. Nothing extreme. OMG I'm so emo.

Morrissey? Jesus Christ. I've never been that bad.

Go have sex with another chick! Works for me lol!

I'm pretty sure this is a question everyone asks themselves after one point, in my case, I want him out of my head as soon as possible. The break-up was mutual, but that doesn't make it any less painful.

So, my dear apricians, how do you get over an ex without messing with someone else's feelings? (aka, no rebounds.)?

if you were a dude, I would say wank yourself off, but in your case, oh well......

Ooops just realized a girl started this thread lol hahaha!

My first real long term relationship was the most painful. It took me 2 years. Afterwards it's not as bad anymore. Takes a couple of weeks if it was a long term or deep relationship.

Typical first love, Alfie. The first is always the worst.

I have only been without a significant other for one week, since I was 17 years old. It was the best week of my life. I was moping around and a friend of mine said, "You've been with this guy for 4 years, isn't it a relief to be single again?" It changed my whole perspective. I went out, danced, had tons of fun and met a new guy whom I eventually married. It did take a few years to get over the Turk completely, but no one should waste their life... think of it as a new beginning!

It takes time, distract yourself by hanging out with people you trust and enjoy the company of. Social drink definitely helps at first...also things like running or swimming for some reason physical activity helps me but I donn know for everyone. It takes time though, depending how close you were it could be like 6 months.

Just because he's homeless doesn't mean he doesn't have game. I see lots of normal young guys and gals who are homeless in NYC. In fact, some of the young homeless chicks I've seen are hawt. They've unfortunately hit a rough patch in their lives. They're not drug addicts or crazy; I can tell. Life is far more expensive now than twenty years ago.

I've never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend, hence I've never had an ex.

By the same token, I've never asked anyone out, which means I've never been rejected.

You can't lose at a game you don't play, and I'm not going to play the game of love.

I'll never invest the time and energy into finding a partner, but that's fine, for I don't mind running alone...
