Re: went out on a date last night... tripny2k6: I'm feeling really low today guys. I keeping picturing her out with this guy, smiling, holding hands, being happy, etc. while I can barely exist because I am hurting so bad.
Re: went out on a date last night... gabefredrick: The fact that you're aware enough to recognize that you're not ready, that filling your life with "someone" isn't going to help you in the long run, and that boozing it up will just create more problems, tells me that you're definitely on the right track. Most people stumble through the above and make things WAY worse before they realize what they're really doing. And trust me, these visions of your girl being blissfully happy with some guy are just that: visions. Things are never as bad as they seem, nor are they as good as they seem. We assume that everyone that we see walking down the street holding hands is happy. It's just not true. I don't know what it is about being human but we love to beat ourselves up when we are down.
You're doing the right things and you have your head on straight. You're going to be alright. I'm not going to say it will be easy because I'm five months out from losing the love of my life to distance and another guy, and it still isn't easy for me. But standing up through this storm and it's making me a better man.
