"last fall, i was in a relationship that, at just over two years, had clearly passed its expiration date. i was putting off breaking up with the guy because we'd just moved into a new apartment together (not a good idea to save a failing relationship, by the way...) when i started hearing from an ex, first by email, then on the phone. this was a guy i'd known for years - i had gotten back together with him more than once, but it always seemed to be the wrong time. i always wanted to believe that "someday" things would work out for us. well, here he was calling me from tallahassee, saying all the things i wanted to hear, and the thing he said the most was "ditch that chump and come down here." so i quit my crappy job in raleigh, started packing like crazy, and when my car was full, i hit the road at 11 p.m. and drove to florida. i didn't tell anybody i was going, i just took off. it felt really good. i drove all night, and when i got there, i thought he would be ecstatic to see me. but he was actually kind of freaked out. he didn't think i would really do it. i was there for a week and a half, and although parts of it were good enough to keep me from totally regretting the whole thing, in the end, it was glaringly obvious that "someday" was just never going to happen for us. it was hard to accept, and the drive home was not quite as exhilarating as the drive there had been, but at the same time, at the very least it gave me time to think about moving forward instead of always looking over my shoulder at my memories of him, wondering what might have been. that probably sounds cheesy to some of you, but it felt really profound at the time.

I wrote a letter to him and mailed it?....

I have never done anything out of the ordinary to get an ex back. They are your exs for a reason.

I invite the brutal honesty really. It helps me reinforce things and in some ways will help me to move on.

So bring it.

I know it's crazy, but trust me for the past month my friends have repeated themselves twice as much. I do listen but at the same time, impulses, almost like an addiction is difficult to overcome. So the advice about not calling ( I've been good about it, haven't called him since Thursday) and keeping my distances, well I am taking them. But can't guarantee success.

The last time I called him, I told him I just wanted to talk and that I felt like I was being punished ( the ignoring part). I said if he wanted to be an adult about it, I am hopeful that someday you will return my call.


People have gone through this. It's the same kind of shit. But the support system ( if any in this circunstance and medium) is helpful.

I had an ex-gf sneak into my dorm during my freshman year incollege while I was out. The funny thing is that I had a Korean exchange student in the room at the time and she just walked in and sat down in my chair and started talking with him.

When I got to the room, she was all happy to see me and I was like "WTF"?

She had told my roommate about everything and he was like

"Wade, she lika you very much and she is pretty"

haha
