It has been almost a month since we brought this new forum on board and I was just curious

A) How everyone likes it? If there is any topic you would like to see covered in here that isn't and has it helped you any in being able to talk about it here where everyone understand

and most importantly


B) How are WE all doing in our situations????




I love the forum and I love having a place to come to to discuss my break up and the lingering sadness/depression/lonliness where everyone gets it.I am of course not happy that you are in this situation as well but it is nice to have others to talk to about it!

How am I doing? Well ok I suppose.The day this forum celebrates one month is the day two months ago that he left me.I am still sad and hurt,still don't understand and still miss him very much and wish he would realize he made a huge mistake and was/is wrong but all in all I guess I am doing better.I am not crying as much or as deeply depressed as I was but I do just have this underlying sadness about me still and I imagine I will for a very long time

HAPPY ONE MONTH BIRTHDAY TO YOU, WHEN THE RELATIONSHIP IS OVER FORUM!!!

:yay: :yay:

I absolutely love this forum! It has helped me so much that I can not even begin to explain it! I have enjoyed getting to know all the wonderful ladies here. :D

HUGS

Heather is late to the party!

Happy One Month! :) It is so nice to watch a forum play out the way that we all hoped it would... Like Cali said, I'm sorry that you are all in such a bad place in your relationship... but its nice to know that there are others such as you, that we can talk to.

Hugs to you all

I love this new forum!!!! I think it is comming along rather well..


As for how I'm doing. I'm really do well. I feel so much better about myself and I'm paying more attention to my girls. I have met a real nice guy and we are seeing each other for about a month now. It seems like things are not has hard as they once were for me. I can do and spend what ever money I want on anything. I can make plans on the weekends now and this summer I'm going to make up for the summer I lost going to visit!!! Leaving him was the best thing for me to do. I know that not all of us feel the same way but I do want everyone to Know that is does get better. Everything happens in time. Take this time to find yourself again,new things to do something you would have never done befor!!!! But most of all Know that there is someone out there that you love you for YOU!!!!!

I love coming here because you ladies are the only ones who really get it.

And for some reason I feel safe saying things here I wouldn't otherwise voice, basically because I am careful about what I say around my kids.

I like feeling anonymous with a voice that is heard(Probably body image issues).

Overall I think it is a great forum. I felt bad posting in the Coming Home forum where these girls were happy and here my life was in the tank.

We're all in the same boat here and it is easy to share.

loui'sgirl-I know this is the best thing for me too, but I have to get through all the steps. I am dealing with a mulitude of other issues on top of this, and whatever is on my mind when I wake up is what I deal with for the day. I can only do one thing at a time, and with bi-polar and racing thoughts that is a trick all by itsself.

I love this forum, it's so nice to have a place to go to talk about my break up and have others relate because they have or are going through it.

How am I? I'd have to say I'm doing rather well. I've been making new friends, being more social. I've been doing some dating, one more than the others, not sure what's going to happen with it. Yesterday was my one year anniversay of Josh and I and I didn't even feel bad that we weren't together anymore. Times helps heal and I think it has helped me to see my life in a whole new way. I love the person I have become!

I have to say that I like the forum overall but some days I find it difficult to come to this forum and read the posts. I just don't feel supportive at times and those are the days that I can't come to this forum. I think it is a great place for people to vent and feel safe and have some common bonds with people who understand the intricacies of our situations.

How am I doing?-Today pretty good. Some days are better than others. It has been almost a month since my break up and a lot has happened that continues to keep me on an emotional rollercoaster. I know that in time it will get easier. I just keep putting up the front of confidence and strength. At some point it will become real and won't be a front any longer. I can relate to Cali in that I have hopes in the back of my mind that things will work out and that my guy will come to his senses but at least today I can picture my future without him. That is a step in the right direction. Good luck to all of us ladies. We deserve good things. We are worthy and should be treated as such!

Even though I am not currently in the same situation I have definitely been there and I am so pleased to see this forum is doing what it was intended to do, to give those whose relationships have not turned out as they hoped a voice.

I know how precious our relationships are to us and God forbid that mine should end but it is gratifying to know that if I ever find myself in that position I will be surrounded by this wonderful PTO family.

Much Love to the staff involved and to all my fellow members that are making this forum all that it should be.

Best Wishes,
Patty

LD's Autumn-I think we all have days like that. It has only been a month and a half for me, I think I am still in shock. Somedays I feel like I am in a fog and other days reality hits me right in the gut. I wonder what the truth is and what happened. I am confused and lost and lonely. I was in love and he didn't care.

There are some days I can't get on here and other times I can't post. Everybody deals different. Don't feel bad about it. We are all hurting and sad, a good day is a bad day we would normally have. We all understand the feelings.

I see glimmers of sunshine in the distance. I am praying for more.

I think this is a terrific forum, thank you all for starting it! I did walk away from my lifer recently and I came to this forum and got support and comfort. We have worked thru some things and are going to start over again as friends... but I want to keep coming here because we are no longer what we were (or seemed to be) so that is still a breakup of sorts.

And besides there are some great people here!

I think this is a wonderful fourm. You all are doing a wonderful job.
I broke up with Mike almost a year ago and it would of been great to have a forum like this. I got tried of reading the "love him so much he is so wonderful we are doing great" threads while I was suffering a break up I felt like no one would understand what I was going through. So when I saw this fourm a few weeks ago I thought how great a fourm where people will understand eachother and give support by those going through the samething or have been through the samething.
It's been about 9 months since I left Mike, and I am doing so much better. Even though it was that long ago I still think about him and how good he was but then I remember I did what was best for me and for him in the long run, he had to have conquences to him using again again even while he was in prison I had to show him that I would stand by my word and not back down again I was gone if he used again.
I feel better it took a while but I am doing good now.
I hope to drop by here more often to see if I can comfort others who's realtionship is over.
Keep up the good work and keep your heads up everyone you will get through all this.
Best wishes
Brandi
