Well, its been 2 years now since me and my ex boyfriend broke up in a rather angry fashion. I'm trying to go on with my life, get out there and meet people. I tend to be rather shy so it is a lot of effort to even go sit in a coffee shop with strangers. The problem is it seems that everytime I go out I bump into my ex and his gorgeous girlfriend. They have been together almost two years and have to flaunt it infront of me everytime they see me. It has been sometime now and I am over the jerk, but I am finding it difficult not to still feel resentment towards them. Perhaps, it is because they seem to try to almost seek me out to flaunt their love, or perhaps, I am just upset that this guy who was such a jerk to me could have such a seeimingly long happy relationship. They really do seem like the "perfect" couple, and they know it. How does one make attempts at socialization when the "perfect" couple is always somewhere near by ready to make you feel like a lump of dirt?!

I would be feeling the same way...actually I have felt that way. My boyfriend in Highschool dumped me. I was so in love with him. It drove me up the wall to see him with other girls. I lived in torment for over a year. I was jealous of whomever he went out with. I made it a point to go out with his all friends and get laid. I even when out with his brother. Sigh, that is NOT something that I am proud of since his brother was quite young. Funny thing is, when he graduated (he was a class above me) and left for Minnesota I felt fine. I didn't miss him a bit. Was actually rather glad that he was gone. He was a jerk anyway. Don't know what this says about me but I found distance was just what I needed to get a perspective on the situation.
Zen<font color=blue> Those who know they do not know gain wisdom. Those who pretend they know ramain ignorant. Those who acknowledge their weakness become strong. Those who flaunt their power will lose it. Wisdom and power follow truth above all. For truth is the way of Tao. --from the Tao Te Ching |
