Closure

Well I’ve come to the realization my wonderful love will not be coming back to me. She is moved on and detached. This is one of the most surreal and painful moments of my life. She meant more than anything to me and the fact that I didn’t show that makes me break to pieces. One day I hope to cross romantic paths with her again. I flushed the picture of her I kept in my wallet today so I’m moving forward but I still am not able to let go. She was my best friend. I’m numb.

Well, this sounds like progress, albeit painful. I hope you find a bit more peace going forward.

Oh man, I’m right there with ya. Burned the picture in my wallet a few weeks ago and I can still picture it perfectly in my mind. Time heals all wounds though, it will get better the longer you push through.

If you’re going through hell, keep going.

I am glad I never been in a romantic relationship. It sounds awful when things go bad. I know ice cream makes me happy. I would recommend a bowl. Hope you feel better. 👊

Hi. I'm so sorry about your loss. I, like others have experienced this very emotional stage in our lives. You obviously are hurting and frustrated that you might not have told her about your unsaid feelings about how she stood in your life. I truly believe that it is never too late to get your inner feelings told to her. Maybe by letter or a cup of coffee. You'll never feel closure until you have bared your feelings to her. Good luck, let us know how it goes with your situation.

I have recently been dating a guy who I really liked. He put a little "spark" in my day as I would get excited to see him, which made plowing through daily struggles a bit easier. He's a single dad of 4 kids and all I wanted to do was help and support him. Well out of the blue he has dropped me like a wet rag. I worked very hard to not let my OCD interfere as I know that can send guys packing. As far as I know it wasn't me who did anything wrong....this one stings a bit. Good job moving on. I will too...but it shows me it's just easier to be alone. I know we will both meet someone worthy of our hearts.

I'm glad you’re not blaming yourself....and if they didn't have enough respect for you to give you a reason why, or even some acknowledgement...then it probably wouldn't have worked out well in the long run, and you may have dodged a bullet....

You will eventually find someone who will except your OCD as part of who you are...don't try to hid it....make it part of who you are, not what defines you, but is like a child that just comes along with you as a package deal.....then I think you will find a more accepting partner as well...best wishes to you.

You’re in a very difficult place in your heart right now.....and it takes a long time to start being able to learn to let go and let live....but if you don't go through the grief and loss, and the learning to let go work often done in groups or one on one....you could stay stuck, and live in a fantasy of expectation that isn't realistic...and then you can never move forward towards a life that for all you know....could be filled with love and happiness...I wish you well and hope the best for you.

I am praying for you right now. May you find His peace. Theres a scripture I heard today that I'm meditating on...Ephesians 3:20

NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN ALL WE ASK OR IMAGINE , ACCORDINGING TO HIS POWER THAT IS AT WORK WITHIN US.

AND

Jeremiah 29:13

YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART

I will keep you in daily prayer. May you seek Him with all your heart as this despair has given you such a hurt may God give you relief and His peace.
