First of all It requires a lot courage to describe your personal life and accept your mistakes as well. I was dumped when I was 17. It hurts a lot when you face this at first time. But do you think get back to the same girl after 3 years again as she has accepted her mistake?

Still reading after what must be nearly six years!...

Still reading after what must be nearly six years! You're over someone when you don't feel emotional attachment in either a positive or negative way. You're OK with them doing their own thing even if you're not part of that. Still being emotionally invested, whether it's because you're still in love or raging with anger, means not over. I guess all you can do is keep it real and that helps you to move through grieving the end of the relationship. Breaking up and moving on frees you up to be with someone who you will be happy with.

I just loved this post.

yellojkt: I try not to live in the past and I'm against having regrets. Stuff that maybe wasn't the best idea, I did because it was fun and I wanted to. So, that's how I learned not to do it again! Or that it would be ok if I did. Still, it's hard not get blue about this being single business, but it could be much, much worse. I could be in an unhappy relationship!

That is a very interesting assessment you made. There is no ONE person, so regrets need to be kept mild and distant. The key is to living life for you.

Barbara: I wonder if being in touch with you would stir up too many feelings for him. That's basically why my dad isn't in touch with my mom. Oh well.

It does take a long time to get over some exes, especially the ones that dumped you. I have tried to initiate contact with one in particular who refuses to speak to me. I can't really figure out why since we are both married and have been for decades.

Unfortunately matters of the heart have no rules and no timetables!

liz: what can you do?

anon11: I did see it, a million years ago. I don't remember the theory, but I do think it takes as long as it takes. I'm not sure I'm ready or not--I'm not really actively "out there." But if Mr. Right magically appeared in front of me, I like to think I'd give him a chance.

Apparently so, because the first time the Hunky Actor and I broke up, I was like, "Oh, OK bummer, moving on..." And then back he comes, and I was like "Oh, OK then." And then he broke up with me again just a bit later. lol

I think maybe the moral of the stories is: Fresh Meat? :)

liz: interesting. So, as a corollary, can one be willing to take an ex back AND be over him? I know that if I bumped into the "right" guy, I'd be open to dating him, but I'm not sure I'm in the right state of mind to do the bumping, ahem, as it were.

2010-02-17T20:01:25.569-05:00

Ha! I wouldn't take my ex back if he asked, and I'm sadly not yet over him. I think it's more the nature of love that sometimes it takes a long time, and you do have to move on before you're fully "over" the person.
