Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Alice Date: 08 Jul 01 - 10:03 AM Firecat, if you are finding that you constantly think about him, have him in your mind the first thing when you wake up, the last thing before you go to sleep... it's, time to work on consciously moving on. Believe us, this is not the guy you would be happily married to. He is an experience in your youth that some day you will look back on... and be glad you didn't waste any more time with him. Until you can go through a day without thinking about him, don't start seriously dating a new man. Get this guy out of your system by taking care of yourself, growing your own potential, having new experiences that have nothing to do with him. It can take some time to get over him, but consciously working on new experiences and your own talents, will bring you a richer life and make what you have to offer in a future relationship even more enjoyable. Now, go do something new, that won't remind you of 'him'.

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Jul 01 - 03:19 AM Firecat - Cow is an affectionate term of abuse.... Had it been bitch, it would have been different. I was being abusive because you're younger than me (hell, if you're still a student, I could be your MOTHER!) but was being affectionate because, well, I'm that sort of person. It's like calling your best friend names. You know. Don't take it personally, everyone younger than me gets called names sooner or later, it's just me getting old and Diana Trent-like. As you get older you'll hate everyone younger than you as well. Besides, I like cows. Some of my best days were spent with cows on Granfer's farm. LTS |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: mousethief Date: 07 Jul 01 - 10:57 PM Sharon, you've joined! Welcome! Firecat, remember that healing is a cyclical process. You may get mad, then get nostalgic, then blue, and then do it all over again, in a different order, with different intensities. It helped me to learn this when my first wife dumped me. So you won't be surprised. More hugs. Alex |
Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Naemanson Date: 07 Jul 01 - 10:54 PM The answer to the original question in this thread is simple but oh so hard to achieve. What becomes of the broken hearted? They heal. |
Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Benjamin Date: 07 Jul 01 - 08:23 PM Firecat, seems you've been talking about this breakup for awhile. Trust me, you didn't want to marry this guy. Your young, there's no need to tie yourself down now. Go out, have a good time, enjoy yourself, and most importantly, Move on with your life! Maybe you should try something new. You won't be over this anytime soon, but it's better to start your life sooner than later. In a few months, you won't have to bring it up in every conversation.
Hope you feel better! BMW |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: SharonA Date: 05 Jul 01 - 03:42 PM Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't have said "five years ago"... Guess I should stop counting, too, huh?

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: SharonA Date: 05 Jul 01 - 03:38 PM Ebbie, I was KIDDING about the eye! Just a little JOKE! (Y'know, like, if you have your eye ON someone — sticking TO that person — then it's no longer in your head, so the parallax between the two eyes is increased a bazillion-fold and it's hard to read, particularly if you wear glasses... aw, never mind. I guess my humor is too obtuse). Firecat, I humbly suggest that you avoid counting the days since your breakup; it serves no good purpose. Instead, be sure to schedule enjoyable things to do in the near future, and count down the days until each event comes around. Five years ago, after the end of my 13-year relationship with [that #%$^@!& excuse for a man whose name I'd love to have forgotten], one of my friends recommended that I involve myself with activities I enjoyed... so I threw myself into my music, and I think (hope!) I've made other people besides myself happy in the process. It's taken me places I never dreamed I could go... and some that I never even knew existed. So I'm passing my friend's advice on to you as well. SharonA |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Peter Kasin Date: 03 Jul 01 - 01:54 AM Firecat, it's the world's worst feeling, but as much as it seems like the sadness and heartbreak will never go away, it really does. When you find a new romance, you'll be amazed at how all those feelings of "what did I do wrong/" and "If only I could take back the times I said....and done..." melt away. Until then, one way of making these days bearable is to take walks by yourself, concentrate on little things, like the aroma of some flowers you pass by, an interesting sign in a window...take the time to see things you normally don't pay much attention to. Once you make that a habit, you'll really appreciate being comfortable with yourself again, and you'll be in a better frame of mind for whatever happens next. Good thoughts your way, -chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: LR Mole Date: 02 Jul 01 - 04:32 PM Beatrice Fairfax was sort of a Miss Lonelyhearts-Ann Landers writer, my mother-in-law tells me. Best version is Elvis Costello's on that Gershwin compilation with Sting and Sinead (who sounds quite mad, big news).ANYWAY,Firecat, melancholy can make one feel quite heroic, once out the other side. Something to stare at the heath and be moody about. If it didn't hurt, it wouldn't make you grow.

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Ebbie Date: 02 Jul 01 - 01:00 PM Not at all, Sharon, IMO. Youth is so accelerated, it feels more quickly, more readily and more whole-heartedly than do those who have more years on them. For that same reason, they also heal faster. Just think of small children- look at how quickly they recover from an illness or injury. My husband's twin brother fell off the table where they had placed him at birth, and broke his arm. All they did was make sure the bones were lined up. They left it at that. We all lose the resilience in a predictable manner, it seems. On the other hand, I have probably offended everyone here. I remember my daughter didn't like to be reminded that some of what she was feeling was attributable to her youth! I guess I'm feeling pedantic this morning... Ebbie |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Fibula Mattock Date: 01 Jul 01 - 05:54 AM Aw, Firecat, I've been away and I missed this thread. Sorry to hear that. Go through the sadness stage (ballads and favourite sad songs), then reach the angry stage (some very heavy music required for this) and it will eventually move on into the over-it phase. It takes some time, it messes you up a bit, but at the end of the day, having been through the losers, you get to appreciate and recognise the great ones when they come along. |

Trouble is, he has a fairly common name and I see it everywhere..... it even popped up on TV last night as the name of a block of flats! Even after all this time, it still wrenches..... Firecat, sometimes it's better for it to be out in the open, for one it gets more sympathy, 2, it may prevent some other poor soul getting the same treatment, and 3, if he was the bad guy, you get all the chocolate! And if you have good friends, you don't have to worry about the serrated knives and car tyres yourself..... if they're anything like mine - and I still don't know who it was.... they'll get him for you!!

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 28 Jun 01 - 05:45 PM Great battering bodhrans! That makes two stupid boys (Mister-fed-up and Oliver-the-moron)!!! I'm really sorry you had to go through all that cr*p. Please allow me to add my arms to the group hug, my been-there heart to the pile, and my advice-you-didn't ask-for to the list. Do: Cry, laugh, sing, write, pamper yourself, stick with supportive people... basically, live well. Don't: Don't use grenades, uzis, serrated knives, rocks through windows, cars through doors, baseball bats through nasal cavities... basically, don't get yourself arrested. :^) The cathartic song that helped me most is George Gershwin's "But Not For Me": Old man sunshine, listen, you, Never tell me dreams come true.. Just try it and I'll start a riot. Beatrice Fairfax, don't you dare Ever tell me he will care. I'm certain it's the final curtain. I never wanna hear From any cheer- -ful Pollyannas who tell me fate Supplies a mate; It's all bananas. They're writing songs of love, but not for me. A lucky star's above, but not for me. With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee. I was a fool to fall and get this way. Heigh-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day. Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me. Finally, fuggeddabout that kiss-a-few-frogs, fish-in-the-sea stuff. Concentrate on mammals. SharonA P.S. Who the heck was Beatrice Fairfax, anyway??? |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Firecat Date: 28 Jun 01 - 03:17 PM Thanks everyone. I saw him today and he said that he felt the relationship was not working out and that's why he did the deed. I did go to college, and was fine, until a stupid boy called Oliver overheard me telling the tutor (who also happens to be his IT teacher!) that I hadn't seen him (cos she was asking) and that we'd split up. He then decided to shout it across the OLC where I had the lesson. Very tactful! Oh well, Oliver's a moron anyway. |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: GUEST Date: 28 Jun 01 - 11:55 AM Take your time, you have lots, and when you start to feel better someone will come by who will knock your socks off. In a few months your eyes will clear and you will start to see the real faults in Mr. Fed Up. You need to be aware that you have embarked on a roller coaster ride. Some days you will be down in the dumps and others you will feel fine. Just ride the coaster and let it take you where it will. Always keep in mind that the ride is finite and will end sooner or later. And you will be happy on the other end. Good luck, kid. I am hoping you find that the ride is a short one. |

Subject: Lyr Add: CRAZY (Willie Nelson) From: GUEST,Hagbard Date: 27 Jun 01 - 11:51 PM Several years ago, I dated a wonderful woman. She was kind intelligent and beautiful. I dearly loved her, but distance, age differences, and change within ourselves came between us. It was very difficult for me when we broke up, but music helped me through it. I've found that Leonard Cohen and Eric Bogle can provide a cleansing and cathartic form of sadness. Afterwards, I'll play some Fred Small to lift me up. Here's a classic from the archives.

The only advice I have is don't get stuck in this part of your life. You have a lot of living to do, and although it probably doesn't feel like it right now, this experience is just a very small part of it.
Take care,

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: kendall Date: 27 Jun 01 - 06:38 PM GNU is absolutely right. Break off all contact. It took me almost 3 years to get over it, and, the only way that works is to break it off totally. If you keep going back, you will remain stuck. |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Jim Krause Date: 27 Jun 01 - 05:51 PM Sometimes I find it pretty difficult to say the appropriate words, and the rest of the time, I can't think of 'em. Some folks say that eventually you get over all this. Me? I'm not so sure. I think the surprise of my life is that sometimes when I least expect it, something, some song I used to sing, hearing some one else say something SHE used to say brings back memories of HER. And there are the anniversaries. So don't be surprised if in say twenty-five years you catch yourself wondering whatever happened. I thought I'd forget in time. I haven't. What a surprise. So, get out your guitar if you have one, write a song if you can, and don't get the ice cream on your strings. Best wishes, Jim |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: Hollowfox Date: 27 Jun 01 - 05:40 PM Take heart, *he* gummed up, not you. It is better to have it end now, before the possibility of him seeing someone else without telling you, and the feeling of betrayal htat comes with -that!-. This is small comfort at the moment, though. Let yourself cry, the catharsis really does help get things better. Not to wallow in sorrow, mind, but to prevent bottling all that junk up inside you. Like baking a cake, the passage of time is one of the essential ingredients here, so roll with the punch, and don't be too hard on yourself. In the end, it's better to keep your standards high and lose a lot of boyfriends than be stuck with a real bowser. "You gotta kiss a buncha frogs before you find the prince." (sometimes; you don't want to take up frog-kissing as a major hobby though.) {{((Firecat))}} |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: gnu Date: 27 Jun 01 - 04:58 PM One more thing. I don't wanna seem like I'm preaching, but promise yourself that, NO MATTER WHAT, you won't speak to this person for at least a month (better a year, but... it depends). I'm serious - do not speak to this person or "through" anyone else. If this person begs you in any way, just say you need time to think. Take that time. When something like this happens, the absolute WORST thing is to get back together without time in between. The simple fact of the matter is that your trust in this person will always be suspect and that's worse than any solace you could ever gain by getting back together. As for booze or food or whatever, don't use it as a crutch. You may not be able to walk again after the required amount of time goes by. Good luck. I know a lot of broken hearts out there are pulling for you. You'll be okay. |

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: kendall Date: 27 Jun 01 - 04:14 PM You have now reached adulthood! You cant expect a one legged man to win an ass kicking contest, and, he cant give you what he does not have. It is true that men cant commit, but, there is more to it than that, if he cant commit, then he has serious reservations about whether or not it is the right relationship. Look at it this way, he did you a favor. Why would you want to stay with a guy who doesn't want you? It's his loss, not yours. |

Sometimes it feels like it will never end. But be comforted...you have friends here who will stick by you always, and let nothing harm you. They say "it will pass" and "you will heal in time" but in all reality, it's very hard to see it that way in the beginning. Please, take care of yourself....and remember, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always around here. A good suggestion for now is to find some good music that doesn't remind you of his sorry ass, and turn it up as loud as it will go. And get ice cream, as suggested above. LOTS of ice cream. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{FC}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} --Matt

Subject: RE: What becomes of the broken hearted? From: mousethief Date: 27 Jun 01 - 03:00 PM Firecat, I'm so sorry to hear that! Broken hearts suck, I know. Buy yourself something really creamy and yummy, put on a sad old movie, and just in general take care of yourself. And remember that we all think very highly of you! Love and hugs. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Firecat}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Alex |
