can't sleep, might as well post this
sigh...I guess I'll start at the beginning

More than a year ago some girl friend requested me on myspace....we apparently had a class together, soon we started talking in school. I really wish I knew what she saw in me here. At the time I was in the dying throes of being in love with someone else, I don't even know if I could call it that anymore. I had never had a girl approach me before, or show interest at all, it was unreal. I soon forgot the other girl and fell for her, hard, we had so much in common, she was amazing, she is amazing, but alas, the baggage of a thousand failures with the previous girl had me addicted to failure. I've never been in a relationship before so I really didn't know what I was doing anyway, so many things that didn't occur to me until later.....damn. I got as close to being with her as possible without actually being together. She kept waiting for me and I kept screwing around, for the aforementioned reasons, but no excuse will ever satisfy me. And she served herself on a ******* silver platter for me, I had gold.....and I threw it away. I was perfectly happy with her, I wish I could remember how it felt, that feeling. I needed nothing else besides her. And I'll always have this torturous little taste of..........I can't even keep it together writing this......
I think about this everyday and regret not doing it right, if I had, things would be different now, and nothing that follows would have happened.

Three weeks into this year. I already knew from myspace but.....I had to pry the information out of her, that she was with someone else. It felt like my soul dropped and shattered, never felt anything like I did that moment. I would describe the next four months as being in hell. I blamed myself, I never told her how I felt, never treated her the way I wanted to.....the guilt, unbearable. Pure agony, having to see her almost every day, trying to not look at her at all, but constantly giving in, hell, I even talked to her a few times and it just killed me after I did. I at least had the hope of being able to tell her one day, and that things would work out. that is all that kept me hanging on. I swore that if I ever got another chance, I would not fail, I wouldn't rest until I made her mine. And that I would never go back to how I felt during this time, completely out of my damn mind.

Things have never really gone particularly well since that night I lost her.........

Ah, I remember the day I thought I would be free, june ninth, it had taken me three days to work up the nerve to tell her after I found out, through, you guessed it, myspace.
I spilled my guts, poured out my heat and soul, on that day on the phone and for two months afterward. I tried to apologize for before but she said I had nothing to be sorry about. told her i loved her. She said she liked me a lot too, but that her life was "complicated right now". I figured she was still bothered by her ex......who I later found out used her........which intensified my guilt significantly. We made plans that weekend just to hang out, if we had, I think things would have gone differently. I tried talking to her many times, she almost never responded back. I decided to give her some space, let her figure things out.......later I thought she might have hooked up with someone else(myspace), but apparently she had managed to retrieve her feelings for me. She said she would let me know when she was free. This time did not last, in some delirious moment in the early morning, a miscommunication on that damned social networking site.........god why did I type that ****, it was completely irrelevant to her....., she just happened to have looked at my page the next day, I could not believe my crappy luck. I vehemently tried to reassure her nothing had changed, I thought I succeeded. But the end of july and beginning of august was the end for me, I just didn't know it.

I confronted her three months to the day in September about why we were going nowhere, I just wanted to know why so I could fix things, she said the only thing she didn't like was I was too pessimistic, which I had thought I had been hiding well. I thought I had convinced her to give me a chance, she said we would hang out soon and see how it goes. I tried to talk to her the next week but nothing. I called and left a desperate message, I would do anything to make it work. There were indicators in August and September that I was losing her, but I was completely oblivious, just like I was the first time, damn.

A few weeks later and she still had not even initiated a conversation once, much less indicated a specific time she wanted to get together, maybe I could have done more in that regard. I tried to give up. Tried to forget her, tired so hard. Can't.
On Halloween I find this out-

The guy she's seeing........."didn't expect it to work". "He's my complete opposite so it was really unexpected".
how long? three months

Crushing. Lies......three months of lies..........lies.....all a lie, all lies.
didn't expect it to work? complete opposite? unexpected?
what? what the **** does that mean?
choose the guy that probably doesn't even realize half of how amazing you are, and probably just has a passing interest in you, probably doesn't love her.....and will never feel even a fraction of how I do about her, not even close.
if it was so unexpected why didn't you just give me at least one chance? why did you wait for someone when I was there the whole time? I never got to see her again, not once.
The girl I thought I knew wouldn't have made that decision, I just don't understand this at all.

I cannot stand the thought of her with someone else, I can't take that ****. Touching her, kissing her, anything, I can barely type it. Thinking about it....blinds me with rage that I have no control over. I cannot take it.

she still wanted to hang out, i guess to still be friends. how can she think that? how could she ever think that? i couldn't do it before, not then, not now. how could she think that i would be anything but a complete mess if she saw me that day? am I supposed to switch my feelings on and off like a switch?
I said the last things I needed her to know and said goodbye and she acted as if i was being ridiculous, like it was a spur of the moment decision, after all the **** she has put me through, how can she not understand? how could i ever trust her again anyway? after this, i don't know. I completely trusted and believed in her since the day I met her, even after she left the first time. But this, this has broken it.
my myspace, now gone, no real friends on it anyway

This hurts, real bad, infinitely more than the first time........it hurts that she has been taken from me twice by some guy in a matter of a couple weeks while I was around for months, it hurts that I told her everything and would do and give anything and everything yet still it's not enough to beat out some random punk or even get one chance to see her, it hurts that every conversation we had.....means nothing now, it hurts that everything I've thought for five months is never going to happen, it really hurts that she is so freaking beautiful and I'll never have her.
now her face is killing me, so beautiful.......killing me

I needed this to be over five months ago. She's the only reason I had for living, the only reason I've been able to get out of bed since so long ago. Now.......I feel so completely hollow, empty, and dead. defeated. Everytime I close my eyes or look in the mirror she's there. Every thought of every day is filled with her. I'm sick of dreaming about her and the crushing misery when waking and realizing it was all a lie. I'm sick of wasting every day not being with her. I'm sick of still wanting and loving her no matter what she does to me.

god what the hell am i going to do now? she's gone and it doesn't matter whether i make it through today, tomorrow, or the next day, she's never coming back.
she's gone, and now I am lost.
 
Okay looks like your in survival mode, and basically you just need to get through one day at a time. It will seem like eternity and there will be pain, emotional that is.

I'd give you some tips but I've never been through what you have, all I can say is try to keep busy to get the maximum good effect out of your day.
 
Wow!!!!
I know what you mean. I can totally relate. Yeap..out of thousands of guys. She had to go and ask me out.
Yeap...I had baggage up the wazoo from previous relationships. I was young and I was difficult for me to trust again.

Six months before I met her my heart got totally stomped on. I didn't know if I could even love or trust anyone
again. My best friend ****** my fiance as I was sitting in class attending college. I was waiting to go into the military or basic
trainning. We were planning on getting married after I complete my basic trainning...There I was lost and alone, a stranger in a
a strange land. So I met new poeple guys and gals. Got totally **** faced all the time and partied all the time. The first weekend in TX I ended up in
bed with 2 chicks I had never met before in my entire life. I was partying with 4-5 different women. I felt very Jadded about life in general.

The day before I met her. I had just gotten into a bar fight. A chick I was seeing...(She was 29. I was 20) decide to make out becuase
she was ****** up out of her freaken mind... Errr wtf..another chick was retreiving her car from the parking lot to take me home with her.
It was all fucken ******** fucken sin city. Nobody spoke about love. Maybe eveyone of us was torn up or jadded with the Love ******** so
we did what we did. Mind numbing fucken *** and whatever the hell else to numb the **** out to escape the fucken pains.
After I got bailed out of jail. I told myself enough of that ****...

There she was...she asked me out. I never knew what she saw in me. She showed me that I can love and trust again.
I wanted very much to love and trust again. Everything about her was beautiful... Everything turned into **** after we got married.
Her parents hated me. They told me that to my face the met them. I find myself having to fight for love again.
It was ****** up all ****** up.
So..it's kind of totally complicated and the **** get more complicated when you get older.

The last time I spoke to her(recently). She wanted to scream !!!!!
becuase she loves me. And can't bare to talk to me becuase of whatever the fucken complications.

It's not that complicated. You either love someone or you don't. I threw everything on the table. No more lies, no more guilt, no
more shame. And I don't know how to process or deal with any of this...All I know is I love her very,very much and that's my truth.
I did that the day I asked her to marry me. She informed me she was pregnant. I didn't run. I wasn't afraid.
I love her very much. I told her I would stand by her side no matter what decisions she makes. And i would marry her even if she wasn't pregnant.
There were plenty of other women avaliable in my life too if I wanted to be with them. I chose her becuase I love her...not other women.
I love my duagther too. I can't lose these two 2 people twice in a life time.
So God help me.


Okay..so I can do the let go and let god thing. If i think too much about it, I'll fucken go crazy....

I can go on with my life with the many pych aynalist copping skills tools...

It still dosn't change the fact that I love her and I stopped fighting that. I stopped fight the fact that i love her very much.
I'm not going hate myself nor feel guilty for loving her. Nor I'm I just going convience or pysch myself out that love is overrated just so I can carry on.
How in the **** I'm I going to process ultimate jadded 2.0???? And how in the **** am I going to trust and love again?
After all this ****???? After all the **** that happen in the past 3 years of my life.

How in **** am I suppose to belive that god has anything to do with this. That she's been praying and
a month later she enters my life again out of nowhere as she did the day I met her. I wasn't expecting to met her nor was
I expecting to hear from her again after all these years...It's fucken crazy !!!! I'm surpirzed I havn't checked into a mental institution.

It dosn't matter what I want or whom I love. It dosn't matter even if I did what was right or moral code i live by.
It dosn't matter how hard I try or work. The bottom line is I lose the people I love and care very much oneway or the other.

When Andrea died it rip me a fucken new *** hole.

When Lois ****** my best friend...the fucken hurted it really, really did.

When Michelle was torn and rip away from me just becuase fucken people didn't give a ****. I was her husband !!!!

Sheryl freaken relapsed and took Tiffany and Kelsie

Sherry went deep into her addiction after our children died. I fought that..I fought her fucken additions becuase I didn't want her to died.
On top of that she had to go and **** my sponsee...WTF ???? that's like a fucken replaY of some crazy ****

Jenni died. Not again...Not twice in a life time.

I can't not bAre losing my wife and child twice in one life time. I cannot belive life or some crazy twist of fath that She would come back into
my life just to ripp my fucken heart out again.....

I really wanna check the **** out, get totALLY ******* face and numb out of my fucken mind. None of this makes fucken since to me, but
it my fucken craZY fucken life..

Don't drink no mAtter what...........
****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I'm suppose to take none of this **** seriously??? WTF...am I just suppose to get over losing my duAgther and just write it off?
 
I am sorry that this situation is wearing on your heart right now. Maybe it's time that you try to push aside your guilts, anger, regrets, and jealousy. This is an experience, and while experience can be the worst teacher; you can grow and learn from it. I know it's easier said than done, but the more you tell yourself that you can, the more you tend to believe it.

Don't take this as harsh criticizism, but if I read correctly, this girl waited a few months for you to make a move. However, you were too wary of taking a chance because of being hurt in the past. So, she moved on. You can't really blame her, and you can't really blame yourself because you had some demons in your past to deal with. Let her go, for now. If she comes back into your life someday, single, maybe you can pursue a relationship with her. For now, don't make the same mistake in the future and spill your heart out to a girl only when she has moved on.

I've been the girl that has waited and waited for a guy. The guy flirts, and uses charm, but doesn't make a move. It made me feel like I was only good enough to mess around with, but not good enough to be in a relationship. Finally, I got tired of waiting and felt like I was putting myself on the backburner. I moved on, found another guy who will make a move, and went from there. Then the guy that had me waiting for him, decides that I'm suddenly more attractable (enough to apparently have a relationship with now), only because I'm with someone else? Hmm...

It's all a learning experience. The thing about making mistakes is that all you can do is try not to make them twice in a lifetime.
 
thanks for the replies......it's weird to see it all written out like this....

samba101, yeah I know, staying busy helps a lot, it's just extremely difficult some days......most days right now.

Lonesome Crow, damn, you have certainly been thought a LOT.
I can't even begin to imagine having to deal with all that.......hopefully things will start to even out for you.
And I have no plans to pick up drinking lol.
Yeah, I love her, and I'm really not sure why or how this happened. I tried to be serious this time, I thought that's what she wanted, eh, it's all ****** up. And now I'm supposed to just forget all that's happened? At least it made sense the first time I tried to, now, it doesn't.

and shells, well, I did actually make a move.........it's just I.....never really finished it I guess. I essentially was in a competition with the other guy at the end and I don't blame her for what she did. If she had just known how I felt.......I don't know, that whole time is just a big screwed up mess to me, regardless, I'm more than certain I had hurt her then, which is why I tried to apologize first thing when I started talking to her again. I think she wanted to get to the main point of why I called and maybe she didn't see it that way. I really don't know though.
I really hate to think I was that guy and I'm sorry you went though something like that yourself.
 
*hugs*

Just take it easy, for now. Give yourself some time to heal. If you get to the point where it feels like it's too much or you just want to talk to somebody about it, you can always send me a PM my way.
