I remember giving an "end date" to what I felt for Mark (after he had came back with the miss you.. I don't know what I want.. I think I may still love you cr*p).
It wasn't just a way to stop the feelings (they don't go away) but it was a time that I set for myself, to have a goal to reach and a goal to end it with..

So I am giving myself a deadline on Louis too... This may sound totally stupid, a bad way to deal with it all but really it was after I set the date for Mark and it came and went without him deciding anything that I just called a "STOP" to everything. Less than a week later I met Louis online.. so in my head I was ready for a relationship. I was strong and I was myself. I just got duped by a guy who seemed to be everything I wanted - just about.

Wednesday the 27th - after that date I want to stop dwelling, feeling sad (within reason). I want to be happy again - without meds if possible.

Not sure if I can keep this target.. but I figure that by then I will have grieved enough... The embarrassment of the relationship ending can stop... The longing for him can stop....
He was NOT what I thought he was in the first place.. so what I loved and liked was only one side anyway..
