[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 330294, member: 6546"] Steely-- I had an ex who treated me horribly. And my friends would tell me that I needed to leave him--and they were right--and so I would get up my courage and go break it off....only to go back to him at a later date. I was stupid and I knew I was stupid, but at the same time it seemed like we were [I]so close[/I] to having a good relationship....if only I could _________, well, whatever it was I thought I could do to make things different. Finally, I decided that I really did have enough. Not just of this guy, but of ALL guys. I decided I would rather be alone than deal with any more of this kind of koi. And yes, it was lonely sometimes. So to combat the loneliness, I crammed my schedule with things that I liked to do. I got involved with community theatre. I did volunteer work. I joined community projects. And....I began to meet people. People who shared my interests and my values. And once I started having healthier relationships, it made me wonder why I EVER put up with my ex's garbage for even a moment. Steely--It will be hard to walk away....but you know in your heart that it's the right thing to do. And if you are like me and hate that lonely feeling? Then make sure you are way too busy to notice. You know you only visit the neighbor when you feel lonesome....so don't be lonesome--be overbooked! You can do it!!! --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
