Do you ever really 'move on'?

Of course you can and have several times. I remember breaking up with a chick in my early 20's and feeling sick for weeks afterwards.

Not saying I wouldn't recognize her if i passed her in the street, but tbh I can barely remember her now

No-one remembers you when you're gone :'(
 
I hope so -
6 year relationship only ended this week - We had 'broken up' or been 'on a break' for a couple of months, and we had seen other people, but we were still seeing each other - That has all changed now and it finally has come to a complete finish -

I clearly have been in denial for the past couple of months because it suddenly hurts real bad - Haven't been able to eat dinner this week at all whenever I am home, and have been staying at Uni until past 8 or 9pm each day because atleast there I don't think about her...

at home I do...

and it sucks -
 
I've had a couple of serious relationships since my first love, and a part of me still loves her I think.

I'm relatively hard nosed when it comes to women, like I can easily switch off the feelings I have for them, and move on and continue relatively unscathed emotionally. Probably due to the fact the first one messed me up pretty hard.

Well we messed each other up, it was highly volatile. Sexually and emotionally.

I've not felt anything near the same feelings I had when I was with my first one. I've had great times, and been with some top notch girlfriends, but that little spark isn't there.

Every time I see her, which is rarely because she lives in another town, I feel like I'm 19 again. I get the hairs standing on the back of my neck and I get all shaky. We are still so ridiculously attracted to each other, it's scary. It's almost like only fear is stopping us from running over and ravaging each other right there in the middle of street. Even the sex is mind blowing. The type of sex I've never been able to replicate, no matter how hard I try, and trust me I've tried, it's just not that lose your shit kinda stuff like it is with her.

I can kiss ten models and feel nothing, I can kiss this girl once and I'm seeping, and my knees go weak.

It doesn't bother me though because my life is ten times better than the direction it was taking with her.

I've just learnt to accept she'll always own a part of me.
 
Sounds love you love her dude.

That or you're just hanging on to some useless nostalgia and unworthy emotions.
 
What about the guys?
The guys had no problem cheating on her more than once, so why it's so hard for them to accept that they aren't with her anymore I don't know. **** em. She's too nice, should have them done for stalking and harassment.
 
I reckon that about 50% of an adult male's personality is determined by the circumstances of his relationship with his parents/upbringing, and the remaining 50% is determined by the circumstances of his first emotionally painful romantic experience. I think that's particularly pronounced in males because they tend to htfu and internalise what happened rather than go through a debrief with their friends.

Of course you move on, but it influences your personality, outlook on life and the way you interact with people in a lot of subtle ways.

Interesting. How so?

Does this mean I'm going to have good sex with girls who are too good for me, and yet I'll be the one who breaks it up?

Suits me.

Great post.

Think Im kinda in the same boat. To be honest I still think about my ex. Never since have I had sex as good, or been so physically attracted to anyone. But where my life is at the moment, and the girl I am with I'd never trade anything in. Just accepted she'll always be a part of me, and I know my life is btter now than if I was with her again.

We saw each other at this festival a few weeks ago. It was freaky cos Id walk somewhere at this huge busy festival and just get this sixth sense that if I turned around she would be there looking at me. And fair enough I looked into the crowd and spot her out in a second. This happened at least 10 times during the day. It was like some force acting on us. But I didnt say anything to her and likewise cos its history. Ive learnt by now 4 years since the initial breakup and years of stuffing around that nothing ever can be achieved. So I got a kebab and went home happy with my current girly who treats me much better than she ever did.

Yeah it does sound like that, but it's not.

She's just shaped a part of me that lingers. I'm not lonely, regretful or compensating for the loss of her. I'm open minded and happy. Not fussed.

I was just pointing out how, sometimes, there's a small part of you that doesn't move on.
 
It's a shame you're seeing someone now fairdinkum, I could have set you up with this other girl. She barracks for North and she too is a goal umpire, you'd have couple things in common.

Oh well.

But if anything changes in your personal life, you just let me know ;)

You sure they're not the same person?
 
I read the title of this thread and all I can hear now is Celine Dion's Titanic song..

I can never read this thread the same again thanks to you. :thumbsu:
 
Didn't know where else to put it - my ex has now moved on to another relationship - something about it annoys me even though it shouldn't, I broke up with her and am not attracted to her/into her in any way anymore - is this just male jealousy seeing as I know the guy, or the fact that I'm still single - anyone else experienced anything similar?

remind yourself why you broke up with her

Word of advice: As much as you want to, do not kill him. Or her.
