It was sort of gradual... towards the end I could feel he wasn't emotionally there anymore for whatever reason, wouldn't be sweet to me or loving to me... No one had treated me better like I had... Here I am now feeling very used and discarded like a useless piece of clothing.

@Chlo122 , it's been a month and a half. He just stopped communicating... Stopped answering texts or calls. Well, we work at the same place, he was withdrawn in person as well but would communicate very little but be nice... But still ignores my texts and calls. I haven't texted or called since...

Sleepy & getting ready to climb to bed. :happy:

@Chlo122 , my situation didn't turn out to be any better... he just dropped me for absolutely no reason and has cut all the communication. He has never been on meds for PTSD so stopping medication is not an excuse in this situation. I honestly think that he was just a self-absorbed jerk and...

I feel blue. This weather is just killing me...

I feel good. My bed is calling my name for some awesome sleep.

@rascal - I hope you feel better. There are some difficult times. Stay strong

@joeylittle - I think my previous post made it obvious what I meant, but here it is... Healthy way to communicate would be… at least telling them something… anything to let them know that you’re not able to be there for them in a relationship and explain you’ll need some time to yourself. When...

Pushing away and closing off would be stopping to communicate with your loved one altogether (while you maintain all other relationships) because you perceive yourself as f*cked up so instead of trying to open up to them, reach out to them explaining that you are not accessible… you shut them...

It's a new day! Feel warm and happy. This sunshine outside my window just makes me smile :)

@joeylittle You are missing the point. No, what I mentioned above has nothing to do with a job duty. My point was that if you keep pushing away everything and everyone whom you are in a close relationship with, you’re going to end up in a scary place where you are not going to be able to...

I’ll give you an example. A nurse has a patient who just died and the family is going through a lot of pain. The death of the patient has impacted the nurse and she has to deal with things regarding the patient’s death. However, she also needs to be emotionally available to the family and take...

Well, yes @anthony , it does have to do with minimizing another’s experience of pain/difficulty regardless of your empathy level. Whether or not you are able to empathize with another matters very little if you are not able to recognize their pain and communicate your empathy. Yes, sometimes...

Feel like dancing in the rain :woot:

@anthony - yeah, it is quite interesting, but any person with any kind of healthy empathy would not minimize someone else's experience because it doesn't posses the same personal value to them.

@tacit, Thanks for your response. Yes, I think that’s great that you try to understand when you’re being hurtful and put some effort into showing your loved ones that you care for them and love them. However, there are some people who don’t understand what it’s like to another’s heart… no...

@rascal - my pleasure! Be true to yourself.

@rascal , I so understand what you mean. Be honest with yourself. Life is always going to impose its shitty expectations on you. Find yourself, who you are and how you feel.

@Anrish - many hugs to you!

I feel good today. I feel calm and relaxed. Going to give my new car a wash and then shine it with some wax! :happy:

Sunshine in my heart

I am hopeful

@RavenGirl , your mellow yellow reminded me of my little yellow canary I once had :happy:

I feel good :inlove:

@seedling , I appreciate your response. This is just my attempt to understand someone I care about. I can't know how he feels, but at least I can learn for my own peace of mind and my own sanity. I am not a type of person who just wants to drop it, dismiss it and let it go. If I was like that I...
