Thank you @Al_Lurker

It will be 3 weeks tomorrow since I talked on the phone to my ex-BF Sufferer. I haven't made my usual weekly call, and I haven't heard from him. He did not tell me to stop calling, but I felt I needed to give it a rest. I don't know if it's the right thing to do. A day doesn't go by where I'm...

@gizmo, It must have been extremely difficult for you to take care of your husband and watch the disease take him from you. It takes a really special person to be able to do what you have done. I give you a lot of credit and my sympathies go out to you. I am happy you are feeling joy once...

@jesse, My thoughts to you too ~ @jesse Please know the same is true from me to you.

@Laura 2, Good for you and your friend!! I'm so glad you both had a amazing day!

@Laura 2, There certainly can be a nugget of true reportage in what my ex told me, but I tend to think not. How are you feeling about your friend's visit today? Since she is a sensitive and caring friend, she will understand if you're not up to it. @Lidia, My ex-BF is a Vietnam Vet so he's...

No apologies necessary. What I quoted above is actually funny to me and would be funny to my ex BF because I'm from the big city (NY) and he is from a small town and we joked during our 4 years together about me being too much for him to handle. Well, at least I was joking... maybe he wasn't?

@Laura 2 Thank you for your reply. Actually, I had not been pressuring him. In fact, its been months since I've said anything about us getting together. I've been waiting for him to take the lead. During that same conversation we even spoke about a possible vacation in the near future. So...

@jesse My condolences to you and your family. I, too lost my father and had a miscarriage, but not a day apart. My soon to be 92 year old mother was diagnosed over 7 years ago with a little known disease called Lewy Body Dementia. Lewy Body Disease (LBD) refers to both Parkinson’s disease...

My ex-BF Sufferer and I continue to talk on the phone at least once a week. He actually has called me several times (which is a new thing), and in one of those recent conversations he told me how much he still loves me, misses me and talks about me to his friends. He said he still thinks about...

These are some of the same things my ex BF Sufferer said to me when he broke up with me. Of course I took it personally; because he left me, but I have since come to somewhat understand it. I'm sure your daughter is glad you didn't move away. You are very lucky to have a close bond with her...

@Nera, I obviously don't know your whole story, but there's nothing to be embarrassed about on this website. You're doing the right thing by making an appointment with your doctor. That's a step in the right direction. :cp:

@Nera, I know exactly how you feel. I have been in the same frame of mind and body. In fact, the only reason I [somewhat] stopped feeling like that was because I developed some medical problems (due to stress of course) which made me focus on myself. I hope you don't do that to yourself...

@Nera, The not knowing is very difficult. My ex BF Sufferer gave me a glimpse of hope a couple of weeks ago when he called me and told me how much he misses me and talks about me to his friends as if we were still a couple. As far as getting back together, he isn't quite there yet. He said...

@InNeedOfGuidance Well said!

Who do you invite into your fb group? I am a Supporter as well and this sounds interesting. I won't be offended if I don't receive an invitation from you.

My ex said the same thing... we shall see.

@InNeedOfGuidance, Glad things went well for you. How did the evening end in terms of speaking/seeing each other again? Friends for now is a good way to re-start.

My ex-BF said the exact same thing when he broke off the relationship. You sound like a very strong, independent woman and I admire you. You have a lot going on, but it sure sounds like you are on the right track. Do you find you are helping yourself while dealing with your ex?

@Snowangel1225, I hope things continue to go well for you with your ex. When you saw him, did your old feelings coming flooding back to you? Are you happy? I went to a couple of Al Anon meetings after our break-up and I have the book too. He had been in recovery for 20 years, but then started...

@InNeedOfGuidance, My ex is a Vietnam Vet so he has had PTSD for many years. I have my suspicions that he may have been abused in some way prior to that, although he never said so. I asked him a couple of weeks ago if he'd like to get together for a weekend getaway. I said we didn't have to...

@InNeedOfGuidance, My ex-BF Sufferer broke up with me almost 6 months ago. We speak on the phone when I call him. He seldom initiated the calls throughout our 4-year relationship, so this is nothing new. He always answers the phone when I call and always responds to any text I send. We speak...

How did your reuniting come about? Who called who?

So happy to hear this. I hope its everlasting.

@Never Give Up, I think my ex BF Sufferer silently demanded respect, which I more than willingly gave him. I also think I silently and willingly gave him control of the relationship. I don't know why I did this since I am, and always have been, a very independent woman. I must have felt he...
