Relationship break up , 5 yrs , 59 , feels hopeless.

Hi to anyone that might drop in , it's rx here l just had to rejoin.

A few might remember my ongoing thread about gf and her situation, us and the rest. Sadly though, we've broken up after all that.

l'm 59 now, just feels hopeless. lt's not that l don't get interest it's just the thought of starting over sometime later on down the track now, again, meeting that right person, it's about that person, not any interest or 2 dozen others, it's that one that feels so hopeless and if even ever at all will probably be yrs away from now, and l'll feel like it even less.

Ya just can't help thinking about it even though it's of course not the time right now for sure, know that.

 

As in my other thread, we were up and down , she had huge problems when we met, visas' and court cases and mh and health, she was all over the place. That's why l held back with her and us, 5 yrs but l still supported her with all l had right through it all though. All that had finally finished 3yrs in but she was still all over the place, l felt l could never trust it or her true self.

Together she was loving and supportive and affectionate and just a real partner tbh . But we were still long distance again due to her situation and so whenever she was home again or l wasn't up at hers, she'd just change again.

She'd be all negative and her health would go to shit again, talking bad stuff about us, saying she was too sick now to have a relationship, must've went through all that 20 times with her in 5yrs.

Truth was together, she was not only just beautiful mostly , but also fitter than any girl her age l ever knew soon as she was back up home alone though it'd all just start again.

There's no talking or reasoning, even though she use to preach positivity herself, the negativity just pours out all over again, even if we'd just had a beautiful 3 or 4wks together.

 

Dealing with that 5yrs plus all her earlier dramas , l just couldn't trust anything to do with us, but l hoped in time or once we were together full time, that'd all just go as it was when we were together. But then l'd think how would l know that was real just bc we were together properly at last, if she was going home again she'd just blurt out all the same old stuff.

 

Anyway, it started again after our last visit, her health her stress , she can't be in a relationship, l've had enough.

ldk, l was divorced 10yrs ago, laid low 5yrs, but she was the only one l'd met that just fitted, but then there was the rest of it. l could see a life with her though if it all sorted out and so l persisted.

l knew it was a gamble though, damn it.

Tbh , we're still v good in those ways the main changes are personality things but with these meds and everything else she has going on ,it's no wonder l see now.

 

Still , we're still no where right now sooo, l want to try to just get on with things for now and we'll see when and if we do.

Mind you , l almost cracked and said l'm coming up monday but really , it's a bit awkward for me right now, dunno if that's a blessing or not.

You almost cracked because of the attachment you have for this woman... and the expectations you have for the relationship.

 

I have to say I'm missing my wife badly today but right now, what done is done and I'll have to push forward with it for now.....

 

So yeh I wouldn't really advise you to go...but if you did, just go with a different approach. Remove the relationship label, go to just hang out with another human being.

 

It's a horrible limbo that you're in. I'm very familiar with it. Should I stay or should I go? (YehYeh the old Clash song).....Because if you have reached that point that moving on with your life has become a better looking option, then you may have to rip the bandaid off and go through the hell fire of No Contact....!

 

I'll say this though my friend: The Universe is in a constant state of flux and change, and this will change eventually as well, one way or another.... 🙂

Hi friends,

You are wise Carus. Sorry to hear you ate missing you're wife today. Rx, proud of you for resisting the temptation.  I went to the pool alone today as I planned & it was great but I did feel sad thinking of M & how hes probably having fun in his pool.o feel upset he hurt me. Guess I had too much tine to think. 

 

Rx, did you go to the beach. Get out on the kayak?

Big hugs

Thanks CMF for the kind words.....

I've been through hell fires that even Sat*n himself is scared of...and I am 500 years old! 😉

I miss her most days but today is just a bit tougher....

I went to have a look at your thread but I see I'm 461 pages late! lol

Good on you for hangin' in there and pushing through though. Says something in itself*

 

Regards

Hi there carus and thanks for dropping in.

l'm truly sorry for where you are right now l've seen that you love the person which really makes it all so rock and a hard place l know, not to mention all the other emotions rolled into it. Still been seeing gf or have you needed to step back for a bit.?

 

Tbh my friend l've never quite understood the attachment thing and difference. l mean l can say though that l miss the hell out of her ,us and all of it but it's not in a need way it's just in an us and her way. l'd kill to see her smile, to hear her voice and to hold her right now, really missing her atm, and us..

l don't know about life without her or in some moving on sense l suppose l could call it l mean that's not what l want.

l'm just trying to make an effort in those ways bc l know it will help me through a bit , it's not better or about some future or alternative really in all honesty l'd much rather us together, our life and we work it out..

l suppose l could say l am also consciously protecting myself right now though too l guess and so trying to make some sort of effort rather than mope, while we figure things out.

l need her to stabilize herself a bit though can't deal with more on offs hence l really hope she'll try the med cannabis and get of the crap she's on.

lt was huge too her actually seeing herself now and acknowledging stuff and she was even saying the other day l think l could do this and try that , also huge. she's a brilliant ideas girl ha ha, love that.

 

but anyway, so ldk. tbh , another thing l've been doing is just trying not to think about it too much atm too.

Hiya cm yeppa, beautiful day down at the river mouth tried a new spot closest thing to heaven l've seen soooo beautiful.

But feeling empty tonight though tbh, no surprises  but l know what you mean.

Heard from gf this morning though and sent her some pics later of this spot she hasn't been to this one either.

Alright was kinda hoping she's wishes she was here too .

 

Glad you had a nice day.

We've been messaging a bit and one more call bu just life and everyday stuff, l know neither of us wanna get into anything atm but we are really missing , both in the same place. We're thinking to l feel the cogs ticking over but that's enough right now.

lt's just nice left like this atm .

l wanna send her valentines tomorrow though, she is who she is and one very special person which l lost sight of for awhile there and so did she .

No strings right now , just because.

 

lf this was definite, a certainty , then l wouldn't want to be still in touch like this l know it'd be best that l break away being the way l tick and it would not be easy either butttt, l can see neither of us are sure about anything like that right now and with everything that's come to light last few wks, well- until further notice right now.
