Hello Anita
I agree with you that I let this go too quickly, however what is one supposed to do when someone is saying to you “I don’t want to be in this any more I am unhappy.” Also I admit I am not keen on rejection so the thought of putting myself out there again does not appeal to me. Is it wrong for me to think that since he ended it it should be him to break the ice so to speak? When I sent him the email asking him to no longer contact me/just drop in on me I also said that I loved him and needed time to get over him; trust me the last few weeks have been a struggle of all sorts of thoughts from reaching out to him to just trying to move on and putting myself back into the dating world. I remember him saying that once someone breaks up with him (his ex wife) then that’s it he would never go back- so wouldn’t he think the same of me? Even though he broke up with me don’t you think he probably thought all that out before he broke up that this was it for good? Am I making any sense? I feel like I am rambling…

How funny I was angry for a while, but the anger stopped a few weeks ago and now it’s sadness. I think Often “wow with all the craziness out there you didn’t want to work on us”? I guess we are in the stages of grief? Does this mean I am getting to acceptance stage? How long have you been broken up with Anita? Have you dated since your break up? If so how is that going?
