The Battle of Irony mophead123: What really gets me is that despite putting me through the hardest, most painful, draining, heart wrenching, mentally contaminating, etc..experience of my life, this woman also gave me my greatest and most happy memories. This clearly is the reason that despite all the pain she cause by just running away with OM while at the same time professing her love and respect for me, that I still have the hardest time getting over this and letting go. Sure I know everyone says, well if she deceived and cheated on you, you will clearly be able to find someone better for you. But she is the only one who I ever felt so strongly about in my life. Doesn't that mean I need to wait another 28 years if you look at the odds?
I had a post last week about those who had been cheated on and if they had gotten over their ex. Most clearly had not which is one of the reasons so many are here needing support. Clearly some have recovered. Most said they would not like to be back with the ex, but many if push cam eto shove I believe at one point would have....why? Because this person gave them som eof the best moments of their life. And there are times now where I would do anything still to get those moments back. Maybe that is living in the past and is a waste of time and isn't healthy...I don't know what to do though.
Clearly if she wasn't this important to me, she couldn't have hurt me the way she did. The irony...
Re: The Battle of Irony Lumpy: Dear Mophead,
Unless you started dating at say, six months of age, the whole 28 year thing is out the window! I don't mean to be harsh but how much did she really love and respect you given that she was able to string you along emotionally the way she did? That was one of the last realizations that struck me before I could truly let go of my ex. No one who truly loved and respected me could leave me in the manner that she did. Very simple. Painful. But simple. As to those who have been cheated on saying that at some point they might have taken their ex back, I have come to believe that a lot of that is based on ego. Just knowing that the ex might want them back is almost enough of a cookie to take the chance.
