I Think I'm Sabotaging Myself.

The loss of the relationship is painful but what is so much more painful is the knowledge that I am always me greatest enemy, she tried so hard to love me and I just couldn't let it happen. Its so done though. I've been working hard at driving a stake into its heart for two and a half years being deliberately high maintenance and annoying and I have no one to blame but myself.

The bad things done to us by others hurt, but the bad things we do to ourselves are downright tragic.[DOUBLEPOST=1398571930,1398571868][/DOUBLEPOST]Yes it is, yes it is. Can anyone relate to this stuff, who has had success in beating this? How?
 
Just having a hard time accepting that a relationship that was very important to me is done because I couldn't stop sabotaging and pushing her away. Its the truth, its done, there isn't much doubt left, its just hard to accept. Hurts. I can't blame her though, if I were in her shoes I would be done too, as from what I have shown her, there is no sense in investing energy or time into me because I will always push her away.

The good news is I think I am finally ready to have another relationship without sabotaging it. Thats huge actually, and I should be so grateful and proud of myself, but right now it is hard to see anything but the feeling of loss I feel, and the feeling that if I just gotten to this point a little sooner I would still have that relationship in my life. Its ok though. It is what it is. Its just so sad the lonely hurt scared little boy who was desperate to be loved grew up to be so scared of love he couldn't let himself have it. That is a sad story. Ahhhhh. Breath deeply.....

Yes it is, but that accomplishment won't hit home until a relationship actually happens. Until then I mostly just can't help but feeling that I will never meet anyone else like her. I guess thats ok. Even if I never meet anyone, I am more at peace now as a person.
 
Never say never. I've said that a couple of times and been in love three times. Like my first? Like my second? Nope they were all individuals and had their differences and similarities.... but I loved each one just the same.

It feels that way now.

You won't meet anyone like her again, because there is no one like her. But, you WILL meet someone just as good or possibly even better for you at some point.
 
Ya. Maybe. She wasn't good for me in some ways but she was so amazing, so gorgeous, good at so many things, funny, I really enjoyed interacting with her for the most part. Even if I never meet anyone as alluring and exciting to me as she was, thats life. All I can do now is look forward and do my best to live life to the fullest in the present.
 
It's really one of those things where you just have to be grateful you had that time to spend with her and fond memories to always look back on...and move on. That is life, as they say. Nothing lasts forever. Current divorce rates attest to that. :D
