Thanks for putting another perspective to this. It's hard when you're so wrapped up in the here and now to think about what might happen in the future. So glad it worked out for you. Have had our daughter's new boyfriend over tonight, lovely guy and she's so happy. It still hurts but so so much...
Yes we like him thanks but not keen to get to know him too quickly. Still have the photos of our son in law up and the wedding photos. Can't imagine taking them down. Lif is so hard, I wanted my grandchildren to have a happy family with both their Mum and Dad. Hope you feel a little better x
I'm better thanks, and daughter very happy, seeing someone else and so cheerful and lovely to be around. Still very sad, and sometimes things happen which make you wish she was still with her ex. Time does help. What about everyone else? X
It's almost like a death I think. The first thing you think about in the morning when you wake, and you would just go to pieces because you are so fragile just now. It's 3 months today since my daughter and husband split up and this is the first week I haven't felt devastated. Not a long time...
Connie is right, sometimes it's all I can think about but that's getting less often. Very rarely voice it to my husband now as I think he would think I was mad. Certainly he wouldn't understand it. And why we he when we don't even understand it ourselves? So sorry you're having such a bad time...
You're right, it's exhausting. I was paying for something today and had to put my password in. My password for this particular thing is the first foreign holiday we all had together. And so there came that sinking feeling, never again will we holiday. It will probably be like that for a long...
Do you know what really helps me? It's when I read something that everyone on here writes, such as, it's not my relationship and yet I'm devastated, or, no-one understands , or I know he wasn't good for my daughter so why do I still feel like is. And last of all, you just said seeing something...
Having a rubbish night. Sent him a message saying to have a good wend with kids and no reply, although its been read. Feeling very tearfull and crying buckets. Need to give myself a shake and stop feeling so sorry for myself, left out of all his family chat and not ale to like or comment on our...
Why are we beating ourselves up like this? Social media is of no help to us at all, except to rub salt in the wound (says me who was on it about 1/2 dozen times yesterday. I think Connie is right and much as you are tempted (which I've also been), it would serve no purpose other than to have him...
Thank you both. I want to cry I feel so hurt. Feel really sick in my stomach. Things felt so much better - that's what I get for saying it just takes time. I still believe that but obviously the bad days aren't ready to go yet. And looking at his fb page for the last 5 hours has set me back...
Feeling consumed about it all again. We've been removed from his social network and feel so let down. After all the love we had for him and everything we did for him he just isn't what or who we thought he was. Felt so much better and now back to square one. Just can't bear this, we loved him so...
I truly feel for you and you sound like I felt and why I'm called am I mad! BecAuse I was up in the night looking at fb and making myself feel even worse. Try hard not to, it makes things worse. It's now 8 days since I looked and it has def helped x
I know, me too. But we do what helps. And like me you must have looked for others whose daughters had broken up with boyfriends to find this forum.
I do have one friend who I asked should I confront him with his behaviours and she advised no, to maintain our good relationship, but said write it...
Bleanna how I feel for you. Your description of how you feel takes me back to when my daughter and her husband split up in November. We do have the grandchildren so I suppose it is different from a boyfriend, but the thoughts and feelings are exactly the same - devastated, so sad. I only...
