This Charming Man has been missing in action but is back, Jack!

Win her back (read all 24 entries…)
The beginning has a start! 16 months ago

So we met tues night.
and we talked.about everything. everything came out and it put us both straight. all cards were put on the table.
but it never got nasty or malicious.
if fact, it felt kind of relieving to be saying all the things I tried so hard to keep inside.
it was a little emotional for us both.
Anyway, we ended with a hug and she said that it was a big deal for her to be letting me back into her life again after so did so well to get over me, not to sound bigheaded! I gave her a lovely bunch of flowers that I had in my car, and we left it there. she said to leave her to text and ring me in her own time instead of me always initiating it.
the next day she text me. then after work she rang me.
I was so happy.
this will be a slow process but I have to show her she can trust me again.
I understand nothing will happen just yet, but friendship is a good place to start and I’m happy to be here rather than nowhere!
So, i’m giving her more time and space, and let her contact me in her own time. I told her I’d take her out for a nice meal and night out somehwere fun whenever she wanted, and that all she had to do was call.
She said it could happen.
We’ll leave it there for the time being.
meanwhile, I have stopped crying, work isn’t as bad as it was, and life generally has become less of a struggle.
I got some answers.
and got things off my chest.
It’s a start. and where else best to start? than at the start!

Thanks T, I feel liberated now. The only way we could move forward was if we went back into the past the clear some things up that were never fully explained! We didn’t that and I feel better about it. I was hard to say, but it was essential that was were completely honest. She still needs time and space to get used to the idea of me coming back into her life- even as friends, bit at least we know where we both stand. It was a bit like playing solitaire with half a pack of crads before. Now things are clear. It’s still and a long hard road ahead, but one i’ll walk!
The days atre alot easier now.
And I sleep better!

Yeah!!!

I’m so happy for you…

I have given up on Mike…I need to, he isn’t coming back…and I haven’t made any contact with him and it doesn’t hurt as much..

Keep going about your business, maybe go out with that other girl….not that I want you to move on…but I want you to keep busy….

In the meantime, I have met a great guy and he has a lot of mettle…I still keep comparing him to Mike and that is not fair….because he is great…

He is VERY similar in personality to Mike and that makes me wonder if that is why I like him…

That's the plan!

You’re exactly right V!
I’m just going to get along with things, keep myself busy.
If I think about it too much it’ll do me no good. I’m not going to get any hopes up because at the moment, we might aswell be starngers, but this will take time. 6 months maybe. She has no trust for me at the moment so i am back to square one on that front, but I knew that would be the case.

Im glad you have met someone else, someone really great. Who at least can make you feel good, and makes you feel good about yourself, and put a smile upon your face! X

Time

Well either time will heal our wounds and let us move on, or both of the people we love will come back into our life. I’m doing better now, as I realize Mike let me go so I could have what I want. I know I always told him I didn’t care if we ever got married but really I wanted a lfe together in the same house all the time, not going back and forth. When it came down to it, he just couldn’t do it.

I think you need to move forward to get J back. Unfortunately when we pine for those we love, it isn’t attractive to them, it is when they can’t have us that them come back into the picture. Now I am afraid because Keith is wonderful we talk all night and have the same interests and I would never want to hurt him. Everyday I think about Mike less. It has been 5 months and I am just now getting to this point. I haven’t seen him in 2 months so this helps as well.

I’m happy and not thinking about doing away with myself and that is a far cry from 2 months ago. But I am not sure that I will ever let myself love on the same level. I’m too afraid of the pain that I had.

Both of us will move on and both of us will be stronger for it. That or they will come back and we will appreciate them even more than we did before.

I think about you across the pond and sometimes think you are young and you have your whole life ahead of you. Things will work out…for you I know it.

Hey mate

Im going thru exactly what ur goign thru. We jus started catching up again, but yesterday she slept with someone else, she says that we will never get back together but I know she still loves me and is still attracted to me. She knows that we’re both soul mates and meant to get married, but she’s too proud to admit her mistake.

Bloody hell!

Love is hell!

What the hell do we do in a situation like this. I really don’t want to move on but I feel enough is enough now and I have to start getting on with my life. Have you made any progress with her?
