Thanks. Good post. There’s another little problem. I am not close with anyone in the extended family. So is one supposed to just get on with it tell them about your situation? Helpful post.
Lmao, I am not acting like im in Bollywood, nor do I really watch any such movies these days. It’s the same old love story ****.
Well anyone can reply if they want to. But if they don’t like what I post, they can simply ignore it.
If love lasts throughout life partnership then I would say that it’s that matured love. Heer Ranjha, Romeo Juliet never lived with each other or went through all of the struggles and issues that come up in marriage so I don’t know whether that is really love or maybe it’s a different level of love.
Or you can try to see that this state of desperation and emotional pain, pessimism is one in which you should never make any life decisions because you’ll regret that decision. After you’ve fully recovered, you will be at the point where you’ll think rationally when it comes to thoughts of a life partner. Oh and the back and forth, sadness, happiness is normal because you’ve been used to being in contact with him and now all of a sudden you’re going through withdrawal symptoms because whatever you two had is not possible. Have you been in touch with him at all?
Who cares if it was real love or something less than that? Why are we trying to figure that out? My apologies for sounding biaatchy when I say that I don’t understand why post # 64 received a like or is even being analyzed. To spend the rest of your life alone because you didn’t get that one person, is a romantic notion better left for the movies and novels. And when you do get married, hopefully you’ll focus more on the marriage than on keeping the memory former love alive. You just broke up, OP. Naturally your mind will be consumed by thoughts of this guy and so you may not feel like marrying at all. But with time, as the pain lessens, and as you also begin to think less and less about him, you may want to get married.
If you are not close with your relatives, then maybe that’s a place to start. Get to know your cousins, visit them, it’ll keep you busy. And if things don’t improve with your own attempts at talking with your parents, and if siblings have tried to no avail as well, then consider getting the help of respected and influential relatives who can talk to your parents about giving you a bit more freedom and thinking more seriously about getting you married.
The “a lil bit” was for what? you’ve been keeping in touch with him a lil bit? Cold turkey means cut off all contact, that’s rule numero uno of getting over someone. Block him out completely for two months. But you seem to want to wallow in this dead zone that you’re in, if you actually truly want to get over it and not keep going with this self torture for whatever reason then stop the lil bit of contact. That was the only time I actually got on the road to recovery.
Best thing to do first is cut contact. Stop keeping tabs. Until u do that you wont let go. And once you start keeping away, dont fall to a moment of weakness and do a quick fb stalk or something. All ur healings efforts will be reversed and you will start at square one.
What u need next is a hobby. Or just day to day activities. Not only with the busy schedule will you feel more productive, but you need to find an identity for yourself that exists outside of relationships.
Lastly, you need to know that this isnt it for you. It may feel like this is it and you lost your last shot at the best love you were gonna have but I can tell this is not true. You will need to open yourself to others and give them a chance.
It’s been 5 months of no contact for me, I’m still in recovery mode but I also have another issue that i’m recovering from for 4 months and this person I put on a pedestal and the person brought a huge change in me but it’s not possible for a future together. I think the not looking on facebook and doing a google search of the guy is the hardest because it’s just a few clicks away. It takes a huge change and a bit of foresight, self love in ourselves to do it. The backsliding is only human but we end up hurting ourselves by doing that because like someone else said it reverses all the recovering we did so far because it’s a huge rush of pain when you do look on facebook and google search and see their perfect pictures.
It sux more because there aren’t any desi events for some time so finding distractions is so difficult.
