When your ex starts dating again....

[verysad]

Hi. I've posted on here before. Very briefly, my ex and I dated for 3 1/2 years, were going to get engaged within a couple of weeks, he had a deposit down on a ring, and then all of a sudden he broke up with me. I was completely devestated. Six months later I am doing ok. I regress every now and then and get really depressed and sad and miss him, but I think a lot of that may be that I'm lonely and miss having a boyfriend. I've been through all the emotions over and over again. I've realized that no contact is the best way. No matter what, every time I talk to him I feel worse. Now the new part of my story. We did not talk for 1 month, and last night I saw him on im. He never goes on im, probably not in 2 years, when we were long distance and he would go on to talk to me. Anyway, in a weak moment I said hi. Very normal conversation, I ended it, and felt ok. Then I started to get really sad about something he said and cried myself to sleep. I asked him if he had a girlfriend. He said "I thought you didn't want to know those things." (I told him never to tell me). I said I'm fine. He said "are you sure?" So I said yes, even though at this point, my heart dropped and my stomach was turning. So he said "Well ok then, no girlfriend per se, just dating around." I acted fine with it, he asked me if I was dating anyone and I said no.

Later on I got so upset. It's ridiculous, it's been 6 months, of course he's going to date. He's a goodlooking, nice guy. I've dated, probably more than him, and he knows of some of them. Plus, I asked him, so what did I expect? I know, I expected and hoped for him to say no. As much as I dont' want to get back together with him anymore (and I really don't, could never trust him again), I guess deep down I've always hoped that he would regret his decision and want me back and maybe feel one drop of the sadness I felt. It makes me feel very insignificant. We dated for 3 1/2 years. We were so close with each other. We were part of each other's families, and so close with each other's friends. I seriously lost a huge part of my life when I lost him. How could he not feel that at all? How could he not miss me? How could he never look back? How could he never get upset and just want to talk to me? These are all the unanswered questions I still have and will always have. I just can't understand. And just when I thought I was really doing fine and moving on, to know he's dating really hurt. Sorry, just had to vent.

Verysad,

 

I feel your pain and unanswered questions. 3 1/2 years is a lot of time to heal and mend from. You are six months down the road now. The toughest times are behind you. Personally, I am 8 (almost 9 months) down the road after a short lived marriage due to infidelity on her part. This last year has been very difficult and challenging, but it has also helped me grow as an individual.

 

Probably speaking to him on IM reopened some old wounds that were still healing. I don't know if I could ever speak to or see my ex in person. I have a feeling it would ultimately take me back to earlier this year for some time. My break up was devistating to me also. I took it rather hard and almost let it destroy my future. I fought every day to wake up and push through the day. Over time, the days have become easier and the thoughts of her less and less. They come and go. But I now know I am so much better off. Trying times help define your character.

 

Now to your questions -->

 

1) How could he not feel that at all?

I would imagine he had a sense of loss at one point in time. Although I do not know the exact details of your break-up, it sounds as if he respected your wishes when you broke up. I know in my situation, I told my ex that if she chose to leave me for the other guy, she would become someone I never knew. I was so hurt and felt so much betrayal that I could not allow myself to let her see how much she meant to me and how much I was hurt. Maybe just a guy thing. At the same time, there was not a day that went by for a long time that she did not cross my mind.

 

2) How could he not miss me?

I would imagine that after 3 1/2 yrs together, you have crossed his mind more than once. To what extent, I can not say. But he probably has thought of you more than you would ever think. And just because he is dating doesn't mean he does not think about you or compare them to you. Although not fair, it is a possibility. And if you ended the relationship, maybe his pride masks his feelings. I know in my situation, my pride took over to protect me. Because she emotionally destroyed me to an extent, I could not let her know I still cared, even after she did me wrong. I would have fogiven her for some time, even after all the pain she caused me.

 

3) How could he never look back?

Again, I bet he has looked back on the relationship many times. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. The thing is, you may never know it. Maybe it bothers him that you have been out with others since the breakup. Maybe that ate him alive but you never knew it. Maybe it bothered him to IM you and had thoughts cross his mind afterwards. You never know. It is tough to tell, but I doubt that he has never looked back.

 

4) How could he never get upset and just want to talk to me?

Here, I can only speak from my own experience, so please bear with me. I could not even count the times I have wanted to call my ex when I was upset and pour out my emotions, pain, and heartache to her. But you see, I couldn't. It was too dangerous for me. It would only open up the wounds further, reopen closing wounds, and potentially inflame and create new and deeper wounds. On the other side of the coin, I allowed my pride to hold me at bay. Although not the right way to deal with things (and proabably immature), I would not let myself give in out of self protection and self preservation. Instead I would often come to this site and read, post, and write as a sort of self therapy. I would throw myself into many other things to get my mind off her. It helped but never really too my mind off of her. Instead, time has been the best healer. I think of her less and less as time goes by. I have used the time to reflect on myself as a person and to grow.

 

Out of all bad comes good. You just have to be willing to seek it, seize it, and

use it as a growing tool. I hope my opinions have been insightful and helpful. I am of coming from the males perspective, so I hope I said nothing to offend. That was not my intention at all. I often looked back with the same questions about my ex, so I truly do understand where you are coming from. Anyways, keep your head up and good luck to you.

Thanks notabadguy! You really made me feel better. He did break up with me, so I guess he isn't the one hurting as much anyway. He just said that he felt that if we got married, he would be happy, but never as happy as he should be.

So he just realized in his head before I did that we weren't meant for each other. To know he's dating hurts, but I have to think that just because I date doesn't mean I forget about him, so it's probably the same with him. And I should not even care if he does forget about me, but I guess everyone always wants to feel like they didn't waste their time and emotions and that what they had was real.

I'm sorry about your situation. You have great willpower and a great attitude about it all.

I agree, talking to the ex is just a mistake. It just opens old wounds. No matter how you think it will go in your head, it never will...We just have to realize that what we had was special but now it's over and put it in the past. I have trouble letting go of anything, that's my problem. My friends all make fun of me because I am the one that keeps in touch with everyone! That's just my nature.

But I have to be true to myself and give myself a chance....a chance to not be sad anymore and to move on.

Like you, I agree that I am better off. And the days have become easier. I just get in these funks sometimes where I just feel sorry for myself. Hopefully these phases will become less and less. Good luck with everything....thanks again for your advice!

[NotaBadGuy]

Verysad,

 

I am glad to hear you are feeling better. A loss like the one you experienced is very tramatic. It takes all you have and some to overcome. But when you do finally get over the "hump," there is so much more out there to live for. I have pushed myself to my limits at times this past year and have fallen back on my knees many times. I keep on getting back up and standing strong in the face of adversity. My ex called me several times (most recently in May) and after the conversations were over it felt like I had been stuck over the head by something. So then I went right back to where I was in the early stages of recovery. The wounds that had been slowly healing had their band-aid stripped from them and we once again open. It is dangerous ground to trek unless you have fully healed and can handle the unexpected. In my case, I found out I was not ready at those times. One day I may be, but I still know I do not need to see or hear from her.

 

You do have to move on. Especially for yourself. What he may or may not do is up to him. The same with you. I was told time and time again that I only had control over the choices I make myself. In the beggining, I often blemed myself for the demise of the relationship like I made her do the things she did. In retrospect, I later realized that I had no control over the choices she made and that I ultimately only controled myself. You are in the same position. You can do anything you want to do. You just have to believe you can. You have to do it for yourself. What he does is out of your control.

 

Like I said before, I doubt he will ever forget about you. You just have to learn from what you two expereinced and use it as a learning tool. Take the positives and smile and tkae the negatives and evaluate them. Then it becomes a win win situation for the next relationship. I too fall into the funks you describe. It is tough. During those times I often sit and ask myself the same questions you asked previously. In the end, however, the answers all come out the same.

 

Finally, I will close by posting somthing I wrote earlier this summer. It is unlike me to post somthing like this because it represents raw and unrestrained emotion put into words. It is powerful in context and reason. I hope you or whoever may read this can appreciate it. The title sounds bad, but after reading, you should understand its underlying meaning. --->

 

DEAD TO ME

By: NotaBadGUy

Date: July 2004

 

I wanted to give you the world and so much more than you could ever see

And would dream at night of waking every morning with you next to me

 

Forever was the promise that we gave each other when we gave our vows

Only to look back in time to the difference between then and now

 

My heart broke the day you decided to walk out of my life

But each day since then I have grown stronger through the pain and strife

 

I may never have the chance to tell you about the betrayal that I felt

But it doesn’t really matter cause I’ve moved on with the hand I was dealt

 

I wanted to hate you but couldn’t because hate breeds ill will and discontent

So instead I thank you for giving in so early and showing where your true heart went

 

So instead it’s easier for you to be dead to me like we never knew each other

Cause its easier to remember the times in life when you don’t have to spin and shudder

 

It may seem harsh to have a mind set like that when we had what was supposed to last

But I had to take it as a lesson learned in life where you move on by leaving behind the past

 

And I already knew you’d move on with him before you left that November day

All the time knowing that I’d lost you forever and how I wanted you to stay

 

In the end we are both better off with you dead to me in my mind and soul

Because now I can express myself and move on towards better goals

 

I guess the turbulence we experience in life teaches us how wounds are to heal

And at the same time to show us how fragile we become when we learn how to feel

 

So while you are dead to me you may still choose to look my way

And all I can tell you is that you will never hear me have a word to say

 

Because to me you are as transparent as the illusion that I once knew

And I am better off without you because I did not know you once you grew

[verysad]

That was awesome notabadguy!!! I really enjoyed reading it and I felt like that is exactly how I felt. I know it was different and not as traumatice as your situation since I was not married and he did not cheat on me, but still, I can relate to your feelings. You have come so far. Even though I don't know you, I am proud of you. I feel as strong as you as times and think that he doesn't deserve me anyway and that I am better and stronger without him. It's true. If he didn't break up with me when he did, he would have done it eventually. He would have called off the wedding. I really believe that now. I would have never thought it then. This has definitely made me stronger. Sometimes I wish I never met him. As harsh as that sounds because we shared so much, I really do mean it at times. I know that I have a lot to give someone and will live a happy life, I just get so down sometimes and have all this self-pity that is not healthy.

 

At least we can be happy that we are better and nicer people than our ex's because we would never do what they did. My ex is 28 and acts so immature.

 

As for me, I am moving on with my life. I am moving into an apartment with one of my friends in two months. I have a good job, wonderful family, great friends. I guess I'm pretty lucky. I should stop focusing so much attention on what he did to hurt me and realize all I have to be happy for.

 

You seem like you do that well. And you are right that you did nothing to cause her to act or react in certain ways. Just as I did nothing. We followed our hearts and in the end were hurt, but now we are stronger and I'm sure better things are awaiting us. Good luck with everything. And again, thank you for your responses. You really make me feel better and it's nice to know someone understands how I feel.

[NotaBadGuy]

Verysad,

 

Thank you for the nice compliments on the writing and on myself. I thought long and hard about posting the writing, but something led me to post it. Never before have I done that. Anyways, I glad you could relate. However, I must admit, that I am not as strong as you percieve me to be. I have my weak moments and struggle on occasion. I sometimes have a hard time and look past the positives that you spoke of. I have the family, friends, and education any man would be proud of. I have learned many lessons in life the hard way and am a stronger person because of them. It is easy to focus on what we have lost or what we don't have. I know that I often caught myself doing that time and time again. But I often found that it only pulled me back that much further.

 

So good for you that you are moving out with a friend and getting on with your life. I have figured out that we have to experience these times of inconvenince, heartache and heartbreak to move on the that next level or phase in our lives. It is the teacher and we are the student. Although we never asked to be taught these lessons, a great teacher will teach these lessons to the student when he or she need them the most. But most importantly, as long as you chose to learn what the teacher has to say, the teacher will not allow you to fail. Only we, the student, allow ourselves to fail. Anyways, enough of that nonsense.

 

It has been good to read your posts and see your opinions and thoughts. I also believe we both are better off for the obvious reasons you stated earlier. I too am 28ish and am always sad to hear another male in my age bracket has helped to destroy the positive name and image of all good men out there. But I guess the same can be said of some women. I know I am a good guy or notabadguy. In time my day will come as will yours. Use you time to find out as much as you can about yourself now so when that time comes you are ready. You have a good head on your shoulders and have a lot to be happy about. Just remember that and smile (it increases your face value).

[Verysad]

You are right. I think everyone on this board will be just fine. I went through another very painful breakup in the past that was devestating to me at the time. I know look back and have no bad or sad feelings. I think about him occassionally and wonder how he is doing, but that is it.

 

NotaBadGuy, what part of the country do you live in? I'm on the East Coast (New Jersey). I look forward to moving out and moving on with my life. I know one day I will meet the right person. Right now, I just have to concentrate on myself. Sometimes I just get little panic attacks that I may never find them and what if I'm alone the rest of my life! But then when I'm in a better mental state I realize that is not true. I guess I just thought at this point in my life I would be at a different stage. This is a good life lesson that things can't always go the way you plan!!!!

[NotaBadGuy]

Verysad,

 

I live in the Midwest (KC area). I have never been to New Jersey, but have heard some about it. You sound a lot better than the original posting now. A better and more positive attitude will go a long way. What's your age? You sound like a very strong and mature person. Too bad we can't email back and forth. I post on here and it can take hours and hours for it to show up. Anyways....

 

I also look forward to meeting the right person. Although I was married, it was short lived (very short). So although I have to technically say I was married, I was for a short time. In fact, I was together and married less time than you were together with your ex (2 1/2 yrs). The panic attacks are understandable. You have expereinced something tramatic and it takes time to overcome. The loneliness was my biggest problem. I was so used to someone being around that I then felt so alone even with everyone around me. I had to snap out of it. The only time it passes my mind now is when I am the 5th wheel. But I manage. We are both better off.

 

I also thought I'd be at a different stage in my life. But at the same time, I know there is a plan for me. I have 2 degrees, made many friends, and learned a lot about myself and life along the way. Although times have been tough and many obstacles have been placed in my way, to overcome them and appreciate where I've been only makes me that much stronger. And I imagine its the same way for you too. I guess it is best said by the quote, "Life is a journey, not a destination."

 

I know great things are in my future. I have to believe that. I am only creating and building its foundation as we speak. And what a strong and solid foundation it will be. I just can't wait to see what the house that sits on the foundation will look like. I can only imagine. And that is sometimes the best part.

[verysad]

NotaBadGuy,

 

That's funny, it takes hours for my posts to show up too. I think because I did not register. I would give you my email address but I don't know if it's ok to post on here.

So how is the midwest? I can only imagine what you heard about Jersey! It's not bad though, I live 40 minutes outside of New York City and 30 minutes from the beach so it's a fun area.

I am 26 years old. I also have 2 degrees. Now I have to work a lot so that keeps me busy. My weeks seem to fly.

 

Yeah the loneliness is hard. I totally know what you mean by feeling alone even when you are surrounded by people. That has happened to me quite a bit, a feeling of lonliness will just come over me. And I hate being around couples now! I'm sure in time I won't hate it, I'm better than I used to be with it, but it's hard. When I see people happy together, I guess I just get jealous because I want that too. It's so much being sad about what I lost as to being sad that I don't have that now.

[verysad]

Sorry, I didn't mean to send that yet.

 

You are right that I am doing better than I was the other day. Like I've said, it's been 6 months and it's definitely easier and I am proud at how I'm doing. I just get into these moods though where I get really upset and down. I have to learn to just fight it out, and eventually they will go away.

 

You will find the right girl for you. You seem like a very caring, sweet guy and I'm sure it's only a matter of time!! And for you, you know that nothing that happened to end your marriage is your fault. Next time around, you will only be stronger!

[NotaBadGuy]

Verysad,

 

I guess the reply times on our responses is really slow because I checked periodically after I posted and did not see your replies, but they are time stamped pretty close to mine. So I guess it sometimes does literally take hours to show up on here. Like I said, it would be easier to email, but I am also unsure about the whether it is okay to post on here. Maybe you have an idea about that. I am stumped. It sure would be easier to email though.

As for the midwest, it is not where I ultimatley want to end up. It is probably nothing like the east coast. I bet is is pretty fast paced where you are. I have not heard anything bad about Jersey. I have had a few friends from that general region and the main thing I remember about them is their "Jersey" accents. But that comes with being from different parts of the country. Cost of living is probably cheaper here, but it also comes at its own cost. I have never been to NYC, but have always wanted to go. And it must be nice to be that close to a beach.

 

So you have 2 degrees. You are a very educated and driven woman then. I totally understand weeks flying by with work. I have caught myself in the same loop of being busy.

 

Lonliness is tough at times...especially with couples. When I am with couples though, I try to learn from them. By that, I mean that I see how they interact together, how they handle conflict, and so on. It kind of gives me an outside perspective. I don't even know if that makes any sense. Sometimes I get jealous too, but then I realize my time will come. So will yours.

 

Why didn't you mean to send the first one? Were you not finished? Just think, you are now 6 months down the road, have overcome the worst, are 26 and have a great future ahead of you. You will fight it out just fine.

 

You will also find the right guy. You seem to have a lot of qualities that guys should be knocking down your door for. And I know the end of my marriage was not my fault. Although I know I am not perfect by any means, I did not do anything to lead her astray. I guess it was a blessing in disguise to happen as early into things as it did. Although tough at the time to deal with, it could have been a whole lot worse. And yes, next time around I will be much stronger and so will you.

 

PS: if there is some mispelled words, I am sorry. I do not spell check because every time I have tried it on here, what I wrote is completely erased and I have to start over. I figured it is better to have a few mispelled words than to start all over.

 

 

[verysad]

Hey NotaBadGuy,

 

I tried to register for this so that my posts don't take so long to go through but I'm not sure that it worked. So what do you do? You said you have two degrees, in what? I am a lawyer, been working at a firm for a year now.

My office was closed today though for the Jewish holiday!

 

Anyway, I have a question for you. You said that your ex wife cheated on you, how did you know? I can't even imagine how hard that must have been for you. That really is an awful thing. Wow, when I started this post I was saying how it bothered me knowing that my ex of 6 months was dating other girls. I can't imagine how I would feel if he did that when we were together! Do you think you weren't showing her enough affection? I'm not trying to say that she was justified to do anything that she did, I am just trying to put myself into the mind of someone who would do that, to figure out how they can. I just couldn't betray someone like that.

 

Don't worry about the typos. I'm sure I have many too because I don't proofread my post after I write. Oh and yes, I was not finished with my previous post when it sent.

 

Thanks for the nice words. I definitely don't have guys knocking down my door!!! It's always been very easy for meet guys and I am a very friendly, caring and outgoing person. But still, it's never been the right one yet. That scares me that I won't find it. I hope so. I'm trying not to focus on it now and just have fun and use this time to strengthen myself. I can look back now and see my faults in my previous relationships. Not that I did anything bad, but I do see some qualities that I would like to work on...not even for a guy but for myself. I'm sure when I move out, it will be such a new experience and will keep me plenty busy so my self-pity moods will occur less and less!

 

This is how I think of my situation now with my ex. I am getting over him, probably almost there. I know that I never want to get back together with him. What I have trouble getting over is the rejection and the fact that he wanted this and that he doesn't look back and miss me....the betrayal. That is what is keeping me from truly moving on. For a while, it really hurt my self-esteem, I felt like I did something wrong or that there was something wrong with me why we couldn't work it out. I know now that's not true, I really think he was afraid of commitment. Which is fine, I'm better off that we didn't get engaged because he probably would have broken off the engagement or not showed up to the wedding! If only I can get past the rejection and move on from that, I think I'll be just fine!

 

Have a good day!

[NotaBadGuy]

I signed up too. Hope its faster. Anyways, you are a lawyer? Interesting. I am not as far along as you but also have a law degree. Must be nice to have a day off. I am working, sort of, as I type. Not a very good typer though.

 

To answer your question, there were many signs that arounsed my suspicions in the begginning. To make a long story short, I found her over this guys house(she is still with as far as I know) at 1am in the morning twice and she tried to deny it and lied. She left me the next day after the second time, filed for divorce, and maintained a relationship with him, even having the nerve to ask me what I thought about them making out and so on and so forth. I gave you the nutshell version, but there was enough circumstantially to add up. I never say any actual "deed" between them, but believe me, it all added up.

 

As for the affection part, that was a complaint. I probably negelected that aspect of things to an extent, but at the same time was still in school and working a job, which, when added together, was very demanding and required immense amounts of time (as you probably already knew). It was only temporary and she knew it, but I guess where I was not around to show here the attention she desired, she sought it elsewhere. One of my faults I guess. I felt very betrayed and she denied the whole thing. I would rather she came to me and said this was not going to work and we went our separate ways that to decieve me. I could never do anyone that way - too heartless.

 

You will find the right one as will I. We all hae faults, some we know and some we don't. We just have to recognize the ones we do recognize and discover the others. As long as we strive to be better, we can't go wrong. Sounds like we are both doing that at the present time.

 

It is good to see you are just about over your ex. The rejection is tough to deal with, but helps you find yourself in the long run. It sort of forces you to look in the mirror and actually deal with the reflection. At least that is how I felt at times. Too bad he was afraid of commitment. His loss, not yours. You will be fine in the end.

 

Well, I hope your day off is going great. I still have the rest of the day to go. I don't know if I even signed up right. I guess we'll see.

How could he never get upset and just want to talk to me? These are all the unanswered questions I still have and will always have. I just can't understand. And just when I thought I was really doing fine and moving on, to know he's dating really hurt. Sorry, just had to vent.

 

My heart goes out to you. I almost shed a tear after reading your post. The only post that has affected me. I really can relate to you. I am so sorry about this pain you are going through. How old are you? Never mind that----age does not matter believe me. I am 42 and I have had my heart ripped out recently as if I were 15 again.

 

You are handling things so gracefully. Just let the tears come: FEEL AND HEAL.

 

It will get better. Hang in there. Be good to yourself.

 

A BIG HUG,

Netalia

[verysad]

Netrie,

 

Thank you for your response! You are very sweet.

I am 26 and the guy I was dating is 28.

Did a similar situation happen to you?

I am doing ok. Sometimes I think that by now (6 months later), I should be totally over it by now, but I guess it's different for everyone. It's really hard to lose someone you love, and even though I can honestly say that I do not love him anymore, it still hurts to know what he did and what could have been. I wish one day he would regret his decision so I can say, sorry it's too late! I am sick of having it on my mind though and of going through moments where I am so sad. I wish it would all end and I can move forward without ever looking back.

I hope everything is ok with you. Thank you for your concern.

[verysad]

NotaBadGuy,

 

The posts are much faster now that we both signed up! So you have a law degree too? Interesting. Are you thinking of practicing? Did you take the bar exam?

 

Wow, I can't believe you found your ex at another guy's house. That must have been tough. How did you know where to find her? That must have been hard to know that she was still with him after you and her broke up. I really admire your strength. I don't know if I could get through something like that, although I guess you had no choice! It only made you stronger. I really do believe that things happen for a reason. At first I had a really hard time understanding why I went through what I did. Now I understand that right now, I am exactly where I am supposed to be. This is really my first time single in a long time. I have always had a boyfriend since freshman year in high school, except for around 1 1/2 years. So I really think that I needed to find happiness in myself, become more independent in doing things, and not have a relationship define who I am. So it was a big adjustment for me when I ended this relationship and I really did think "How am I going to get through this?" I felt very alone, and was not comfortable being alone at all. I have come far in the 6 months and now I can make myself happy and I don't mind being alone. I am a social person, so I'd rather be in the company of others, but I have really learned to enjoy and appreciate time by myself. I am proud of myself for that. Anyway, sorry, I'm rambling!

Verysad,

 

You are right, these posts are a lot quicker. Not post now and 2-3 hours later the post shows up. As for the law degree, I am deciding on the practice aspect of things. The bar exam is another story all together. I can fill you in on both later.

 

About the ex, it was tough to deal with. But it made me stronger. I was in bad shape for the first couple of months after everything blew up. Lost some weight and somehow made it through the semester. I had no choice in going through it and at times wondered how I was going to make it. But I just persevered and pushed that boulder out of my way. Instead of going around it, I chose to go through it. I beat myself up and blamed myself for awhile, but then I got over that. Like I mentioned before, I realized I only had control over myself.

Verysad,

 

I'm not having much luck here in figuring this out. Any ideas? Only thing I can figure out is that you may not have enabled PM feature, but I do not know. If you figure it out, PM me (mine is enabled - I think). I think we'll get it figured out, but it may take a little more time than I thought it would.

NotaBadGuy,

 

I cannot figure out the PM either. In the profile, it says I am set up for it, but it won't let me send one to you. I have no clue!!!

Verysad,

 

I couldn't sleep so I sent I message to the forum directors. They said I could not send a PM until I was an established member(whatever that means - kind of an ambiguous term if you ask me). When we are both on here tomorrow(or today - whichever way the day is) we can try to figure out something. I will look to see if you are on and then I have a plan. So if you are on here tomorrow sometime and see my screenname, wait and see. We will get this figured out between the two of us. Until then, have a great day. We'll eventually be in contact.

Verysad,

 

This morning has been so long. Every time I try to get signen on and post a message, I either get kicked off the net or someone/something comes up with work and I have to get off the net. So this will be short but I will have more time this afternoon. Hope your day is better than mine so far. Its Friday though, so thats a plus. I will check back later.

NotaBadGuy,

 

Sorry you're having a long day!! My day is going by fast but it's busy and I'm trying to get a lot done because I have to go to Maryland this weekend for a bachelorette party.

I guess you figured out why we couldn't send PM's.

Hopefully it will get figured out.

If I don't hear from you, have a great weekend!

Verysad,

 

Here is my email address. We'll see if it gets posted or not. If so, send me a message and we'll go from there.
