I feel your pain. I am a wicked wicked witch because I feel like it will make the split easier or him if I am undesirable. I do not like to behave this way, but it’s the only thing I can do to try and protect the feelings of the man I used to love so much more.
It’s not that I don’t love him still, but I am no longer in love or attracted to him and I am desperate for him to feel the same feelings for me … as if that will make this all work out in the long run.
We often hear what goes around comes around … well, perhaps karma is stepping in a bit here to show you how it feels. That doesn’t mean you should stop wishing for a new fairy tale … think of it as a lesson – you will become stronger as a result of this. I promise you will.
One day at a time is all anyone can manage.

I think I realize I’m never going to get him to feel the same way about me as I do for him or at least not to get him to admit it to himself. I know you can’t force someone to feel something they don’t want to. But that doesn’t mean I don’t try.

We will get through this. We will be happier someday.

Sorry to hear that you’re going through such a rough time. Hang in there. It’s a very confusing time.

I’m a strong believer that if you’re not happy then no one around you will be happy. It may seem differently but it’s all a persona we’re taught early in life. Once someone finds out that you’ve been lying or faking something those thoughts don’t go away. He may seem like he’s moved on but lingering is the realization that you aren’t happy with how things are. And honestly, not being willing to accept a compromise shows a selfishness that is only going to perpetuate things until things become bitter and bloody.

I don’t think I can avoid the bitter, let’s hope to avoid the bloody.
