Re: This Hurts! yella: I'm sorry, BB.
It hurts the most one the one you still care about (even if you don't want to) proves that he doesn't care about you.
But just know that others care about you, no matter how much this hurts, and one day he'll feel this way too. Whether you wish it on him or not. ;)
Re: This Hurts! icwtsmnl: hugs and hugs and hugs for you. its sux that people are like that.
Re: This Hurts! LostTeacher: bb..i totally understand.
last year, whenever it was on or near a significant date (bday, anniversary), he would email me about stupid stuff. last year, a week after my bday, he sent me an email that said "happy belated bday! sorry i forgot!"
that was worse than he even not saying anything. i mean, he's known my bday for over 15 years! like he really forgot. and like i needed him to wish me a happy bday.
I agree with JNA...it's that Hoover thing, dragging you back, just to do it.
don't worry girl. this is your day, and this is the next step to your new future.
hope your bday turned out a little better. let us know how your evening was.

Re: This Hurts! trashtv.grrl: Sweetheart, my heart goes out to you. I may understand how you might be feeling around now. I just went through the same issue with my ex's lack of acknowledgement of my existence and had a similar depressing birthday. This divorce crap is so friggin' painful it is daunting. I know it hurts a lot right now when someone you cared so much about could be so dismissive of you as not just as person, but the wife you used to be. In the darkest moments try, try to remember this heartache shall pass, though it marches at slow snail pace.
I hope you give yourself a special gift for this birthday because you deserve it. Go out and spoil yourself with something that is very extra special. Today is the first day of a new year that is going to be a brilliant exploration of fabulous yourself. This is a new year, new you. Today is a marker on your journey towards becoming the kick ass person you always knew you could be! Preserve you are going to make it just like the rest of us. Hugs & Kisses. -Chard
Re: This Hurts! Peaceandquiet: Well BB if it makes ya feel any better.. I moved out of our home on my birthday (she had moved out 20 days before). I had all the utilities shut off that day.. had the kids and got caught inbetween houses that day due to some closing issues. I call that morning and ask if I could bring the kids over to her apt to grab some breakfest...nope... I called her later and asked if I could at least just run by and jump in her shower.. since I had no water.....nope.. find out later her BF was there...........didn't even get a happy bday... she had forgotten all about it.... vut ya know.. its a day I will never forget... and it gives me the strenght to know that what happened was the right thing.
