i was involved w. a guy who had just gotten out of a five year relationship prior to meeting. i myself had just gotten out of a two year relationship. i had no attraction to this guy upon meeting him but he managed to grow on me with his charm. we ended up hooking up after two weeks of meeting but i informed him i wanted nothing more.

he became very persistent in wanting to date me and called me to hang out constantly. while this is going on, his ex girlfriend is calling non stop, stopping by at his house unexpectectly to get stuff, they would get into screaming arguements...ect.

i finally gave in to dating him and it was great at the start. things w. his ex escalated when he left the country for two weeks. he would write me on myspace everyday telling me about his trip only for me to find his ex girlfriend writing things everywhere about how much she loves him and everything. i told him how umcomfortable his ex made me and he told her to back off.

the last month of our relationship, it was nothing but fights and countless discussions of how things were going wrong. during this time i had become severly depressed, started drinking everyday, and lost fifteen pounds. not to mention the people he lived w. were downright disrespectful.

the day he broke up w. me, i was so drunk and distraught i threw myself at him for 2 hours w. no results other than making him disgusted. he told me he didnt know if i was just filling a void from his last relationship or if he really cared about me, he didnt know if he could ever love me, and didnt appreciate anything i did for him. i have never felt so embarrassed in my life. i have not contacted him/talked to him since he broke up with me which is about a month and 3 weeks.

why am i still stuck on this guy? i want to get passed it and "move on" like he told me that day.

Welcome to the board raquelmonroe,

Grief is a powerful emotion. Grieve for what might have been, for what could have been, for what you hoped would have been.

You have to decide how you want your life to be, how you want to cope, if you want to stop drinking, etc. and set goals for yourself and start doing them.

Here's some helpful links:
