Hi , i was in a relationship the first after a divorce of a 20 year marriage , i didn't think i would find love again , i meet this lady through some good friends and we started slow seeing each other on weekends , we lived 2 hrs apart .. we found comfort in each other and the time we spent together was the best time i have ever spent with a women , i could watch the grass grow for ever in her company . as time went on the baggage in both our lives came out and instead of dealing with it we just broke up .. she was scared and so was i .. the going our own ways happened so suddenly and i couldn't believe it happened ...approx 10months ago ... we had little contact and got on with our lives ..i whole time feeling very sad i felt a massive loss .. honestly thought we wold spend our lives together .. i speak of the good times now but there were times that her baggage came out and with out an open communication at these times it would be impossible to have a lasting relationship ...no such communication was possible ... and i know us being apart is better ..but i am still so in love with her ...i messaged her a few days ago and showed her pictures of my apartment which i have renovated ..the finished product ..she didn't reply ..i messaged my feelings and she replied with i think you should move on like i have ..i asked her if she was seeing anyone and she said yes ...i had to get myself home and i vomited many times and just put myself to bed ..i am reliving the weekends i said with her and seeing another guy in her life exactly like i was ...i try to reflect to the times that help me understand that it wouldn't have worked between us but my heart is so full of love for her .. its painful and i can't stop crying

Hi , I read your thread , and that sucks . I get your anger and frustration.. The system is so wrong in the way they handle these situations ...and the people in charge or the people with the power over you can be having power plays ..which heightens the emotions ..rightly so ... i think the key is seeing it for what it is ..easy to say hard to do ... I remember having to make contact with the child support agency once ..I was extremely stressed about how i was going to afford this money i had to pay ...i never thought of not supporting my children i wanted to and i had no issue with that but when i spoke to that gov department i was put in a box and treated accordingly ..i was in a rage to have some young man put all these legal demands on me .. there was no understanding of me as a person ...i was boxed and there was nothing i could say or do to change that and that wasn't me at all .... i was lucky that a few days later a lady from that department called me and i spoke my mind and she listened ..i was amazed at how that pressure come off me .. so i understand being boxed is not nice and you have every right to feel the way you do ...the thing is the system wont change so you need to gain strength in this and you can .. then you can make it right for yourself with your strength .. you will gain respect then ..instead of being in that box ... i hope i haven't crossed any lines hear i would never intend to offend xxx

No lines crossed I like it straight & thanks for sharing your experience. I've been boxed twice. I'm finding my strength again to do something. Sometimes I think I should walk, but, when I sit there on the meds and feel sick I want to charge at them and speak up. I don't like their misinformation. Anyhow, this thread is about u, not
