Single Most Defining.

[Joe Wordsworth]

My Girl and I have broken up. It happened last night and I've gone from moments of rational clarity to moments of sobbing hysteria, ever since. I have no basis for comparison, with regard to this sort of thing. I've never lost someone this important.

I think, despite how dramatic it sounds, I have the single most defining moment of my adult life going on inside right now. And I am very small in comparison.

I say this on a message board on the internet, because talking about it only makes me fall apart... and not talking about it makes me hollow... and typing doesn't hurt as much.

For what it's worth, I'm terribly sorry for you.

I followed what happened in your life over the last few months, I didn't always agree with what you were saying, but still, breaking up with a loved one is always painful.

I hope you'll find peace soon.

 

[Recidiva]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Joe. Broken hearts shatter and shred. My hopes for you to heal and understand.

Hey Joe..sending you good thoughts. Its so hard to go through a break up, especially when so many issues are involved..pm box is open if you want to talk.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Your strength will help you to heal, and heal you will, it will suck at times but it is part of what we endure as humans. Let yourself feel all those feelings, both good and bad and grow.
Gentle hugs to you.

I've read enough posts about from you to know how much your girl mean't to you.

I'm here for you, Flannel, you know that.

I'm trying desperately to think of something inspiring and helpful and comforting to say, but I'm afraid I don't have those right words to offer you.

All I can say is you'll get through it. It'll be tough but you'll do it.

And something that I've said a million times before to you -don't bottle it inside, it will only hurt more in the long run.


*hugs* as many as you need.

I'm really sorry, Joe.

Joe,

My heart goes out to you guy. Hard to believe, but you will get over it. Time, a little support, friends, time, (yeah I said it twice), and you'll get on with it.

Best to you in a tough time.

Joe,

Been there done that. (Different circumstances but the pain is as real.)

What you will now go through will not be easy, on either of you. Time will, (as trite as it sounds,) heal.

I'll give you the advice I was given a long time ago by a person I regarded well. Now is the time to look inside yourself, and yet now is not the time to bottle up your feelings. (I ignored the last and paid for it.) Find inside yourself what is good and get rid of what is bad, then move on. It's not easy, it's not fun and it certainly is not fair but it is a part of life.

Take this time as well as this pain and use it to decide who you truly are, then move on. You will, as I did, find the right person for you.

If you wish PM me.

Cat

I'm so sorry, Joe.

Shit, Joe, I'm sorry. You don't sound overdramatic to me; I would say the same about when my former Lady broke up with me. You have all my sympathy.

If I can help, my PM box is always open.

[sincerely_helene]

Sucks. Sorry.

 

[Liar]

Sorry, Joe. I kind of know the feeling. Tried to tell myself it's a break-up, not a funeral, but to little avail. Hang in there. It will pass. And in the end, I believe it's your choice what you let define you and not.

And yeah, typing out to a bunch of loonies on a web board, what one can't get past one's lips, is not half bad. We do that here from time to time.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Sorry to hear. Chin up. You'll make it. You're a tough guy.

I have tequila. Drive north.

I have tequila. Drive north.

Best suggestion so far. People tell you that alcohol doesn't help, but I didn't find it to hurt when taken correctly.

I have tequila. Drive east.


(I'm only about 9-10 hours from San Fran!)

McK - I'm coming for the tequilla, I'll start swimming now


Flannel, hope you're getting by okay, love.

Schweeet! Maybe someday there'll actually be a Litogether-Idaho!
