Yes I'm back. And I'm at a slightly better place than I was before, despite a huge slap in the face earlier this week. I've contacted, and visited, several of my friends. I've talked to my friends back home and have made plans to see them during thanksgiving break.

Unfortunately, I also happened to learn that B is dating somebody else and have spent nearly this entire week shocked and hurt. And I greatly thank my roommates for helping me as well as my two best friends A and S for getting me out last night. If I didn't have them around, I don't know what I would have done with myself.

So, here I am, back on the site and curious as to what happened. Hope all has been well during the time that I was gone.

I've been through something similar myself, and what I found was that, even though I was sad when he decided to end things, that's not what hurt me the most. What hurt me the most was the lying, the betrayal, and how he allowed me to find out about those things. Those things took it from sadness to devastation.

I'm so sorry that you have found yourself in that kind of situation, but let me tell you that I believe you will come out of this a better and stronger person. I definitely feel that I have, and let me tell you that it feels wonderful when you get there and when you realize that you're there!

The hurt does pass, and in my situation, I've actually come to a place of gratefulness. I'm grateful that, if those bad things were going to happen, they happened sooner rather than later, they happened before I fell in love, and they happened before it became a physical relationship.

I'm not sure if this is true in your situation, but the way that I got to that place of gratefulness and one of the things that I did to help myself get through that painful time was to try and find the good in the bad. Believe me, it didn't happen right away, and it absolutely helped to have some very kind people reach out to me simply out of the goodness of their hearts, without me even asking. Sometimes virtual strangers can help more than loved ones. I was lucky enough to have both, and it sounds as if you are, too. Rely on them to help you heal, and eventually you will be in a place where you can find the good in the bad, too.

Until then, ((((((Dahlia))))))). I'm only a PM away if you ever want to chat or even just vent.

Been in your shoes. My exhusband ran off with the cleaning lady that barely speaks English.

Ouch.

Welcome back. May you find the solace you need.
