Question about breaking up and recovery

Everyone always say's that you're supposed to wait the length of time you were together before getting invloved with someone else. I personally think it's a bunch of crap.
 
nah but u shouldnt get invovled until ur over someone.. it's not fair to make your problem someone elses.

And not fair to hurt someone else to amke your transition easier

Is there certain criteria involved for really knowing when you've reached the point of being "over" somebody?

didn't you just have a baby bro? hope all is ok.

Yup, everything is fine. We are not together though, conception actually occured while we were broken up. We tried getting back together after we found out about the pregnancy but things didn't pan out. We get along 10x better as friends which I am more than thankfull for, also thankful that we figured this out early.

Not a very conventional situation, but there are some things you just have no control over.
 
wtf
 
i think you gotta go it alone for a while, but i don't wanna wait 3-4 years, myself. i figure a few months should be good. i won't be out dragging the waters, but if some dynamo of a girl comes around, i gotta do it.

Yea I agree with that. We've been back and forth throught what seems to be the entire relationship, one of those situations where your detached before the breakup even occurs; kind of like a sub-conscience self defense mechanism. There no drama bro, it's really all good. We make a terrific team together, there is absolutly no anymosity among either one of us.

We got all the drama out of the way close to a year before the baby was born.

actually, it seems you have a "new Age" relationship. there sure are a lot of these out there now. it's like having certain relationship privelages but without the closeness of being.

"New age", I like that, sounds better than "unconventional".

This is the way things happened, I really had no control over the situation, you have to play the cards as they are dealt to you. I originally thought to have gotten crummy cards but realized I got aces on the river.
 
I don't think there is a time limit. It is a personal thing and you will know when your ready (maybe not) Just dont try to fill the hole that is left behind or your asking for trouble. Wait for it to fill in naturally.

I would wait for the length of time I was with my ex, that would be 17 years! NOT!

While I whined and complained a lot last year (Yeah, most of you know I did) I actually have found that I don't mind being alone (no gf or wife) and think that having one (gf/wife) is a shit load of work and I don't know that I want to put that effort into something like that again.

some people can't handle being alone. i pity them.

I might even be inclined to say most rather than some. It's because there is so much pressure put on people to be in a relationship, and if you aren't in one then everybody feels sorry for you and tries to hook you up. You have to be content with being alone first.

it sounds like things are cool between the two of you. hope that remains once each of you enters into new relationships. that's where it gets tricky. no animosity now, but what about when you or her fall in love with someone else?
 
I agree. You have to be content to be alone. That doesn't mean that you want to be alone, but that you can handle it and enjoy it (being alone) and that to be with someone isn't the driving force in your life.

My ex told me she needed to be on her own, but not alone, she cheated on me so that she could get out of our relationship. She has never been on her own, ever and someday that reality will happen for her and she will be alone and feel alone.

I have already run that scenario through my head a few hundred times now and it's tough to predict. As long as she got involved with a stand-up guy I would have no issues with that. I can't say how she would react though, she's not the vindictive type at all though so if she had issues with it, she wouldn't act on it.

i'm having that problem right now. the bar i work at has a bunch of flighty women who are constantly breaking up with/ getting back together with. i am always in the middle of this, cuz i'm the only single man there.

Darn, sucks to be you!

well, seeing as how i am at the very least, a co-worker with these girls and i know some of their bf's pretty well, i don't think i'd want to take any actions with these chicks. i'd be in an akward situation when it finally comes to the surface.

You're exactly right, and the mentality she's carrying around will catch up with her. Sounds like it wasn't a very healthy relationship and you're much better without her. I know so many people like this, it's crazy, insecurity is a bitch.
 
It is a bitch, till you deal with it. It was very hard for me for about a half a year, then it got better and better. I am better off without her.

Well, being a co-worker does make it harder and I would agree with you on the other points.

yeah. it's real hard turning down these late night invites sometimes.
 
J Geils sang it best:

LOVE STINKS, YEAH, YEAH, LOVE STINKS
 
I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didn’t do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she’d meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, I’d never find her

I don’t believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don’t believe in love
It’s never worth the pain that you feel

No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all
From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move
Every open hand’s there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn’t matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied ’cause she never said goodbye

I don’t believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don’t believe in love
I’ll just pretend she never was real
I don’t believe in lovev I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don’t believe in love
It’s never worth the pain that you feel

No chance for contact
There’s no raison d’etre
My only hope is one day I’ll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it’s all the same to me

I don’t believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don’t believe in love
I’ll just pretend she never was real
I don’t believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don’t believe in love
It’s never worth the pain that you feel
 
Candle light and soul forever
A dream of you and me together,
Say you believe it, say you believe it,
Free your mind of doubt and danger,
Be for real don't be a stranger,
We can achieve it, we can achieve it
Come a little bit closer baby,
Get it on, get it on,
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

Silly games that you were playing,
Empty words we both were saying,
Let's work it out boy, let's work it out boy,
Any deal that we endeavour,
Boys and girls feel good together,
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
Are you as good as I remember baby,
Get it on, get it on,
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

Be a little wiser baby, put it on, put it on,
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that’s why they say

Chorus:
Every rose has it’s thorn
Just like every night has it’s dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has it’s thorn

Yeah it does

I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the dj say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you’d be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess

Chorus

Though it’s been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains

Solo

I know I could have saved a love that night
If I’d known what to say
Instead of makin’ love
We both made our separate ways

But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess
