Everyday, the hurt goes away a little bit more and then one day, you don't hurt anymore---paraphrased from the movie "Swingers". I must admit, three heart breaks under my belt and this one sums it all best. You will know when you are ready to move on :)

I am at home with family today. I have been embraced by my parents, brothers (both kin and good friends, and nephews). My whole day has been filled with love and peace and fraternity. My day has been filled with companionship. Yet, I want for more. This is the first time in three years she is...

Shawshank Redemption is the best movie of all time. I could go on and on with the quotes. My actual favorite of all time is "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies". To me that is what life is about, hoping for a better day. Always.

I have been told I am too picky. I have never had trouble meeting women or dating women. I have had trouble keeping the ones I loved.

When my wife and I separated in the summer of 2003, my life entered a tailspin of depression and loathing. I loathed I had lost someone so beautiful and so loving, a woman who made had treated me so well and loved me so completely. But I didn’t understand love yet. I was depressed because I had...

[video=youtube] This song owns me and sums up my love life

Why do we think we can cheat the fates, make magic out of nothing? Why do we foolish people think our dreams, our hopes, matter to anyone but ourselves? When someone has slowly turned away from you, step by step, each month putting more distance between you and her, why should you act like each...

I have found ultimatums usually end in my being miserable and feeling like I should have taken more of a conciliatory approach. Right now I would rather have a small part of her than no part at all and I feel like if I draw that line in the sand, I will wind up regretting it...

First off, I want to say thank you to all of you who offer advice to me when I am in the mood to post. I know I don't respond very much to your comments but I do appreciate your comments and observations and I really do read and take to heart what you say. This site is a place for me to share my...

I know I should let things go but it is not as easy as I would like. I wish it were as easy as taking out a chip from my hard drive, but I think I am a defective model. I try every day to get over her, to let her become the past, but my mind and my heart, will not let me let her go. I am sure...

I was at a buddy's house last night with some friends, drinking beer and playing the xbox kinect and having a good time. My phone rings (this is midnight mind you) and it is my ex. I obviously answer the phone and talk to her and before you know, we talk until 2 am in the morning about nothing...

We always over idealize anything we love. It is hard to believe something you care so much about could be as wrought with as many failings as your own humanity.

So she emails me today, asks how I am doing. I don't immediately respond because whenever I communicate with her I want the words to be perfect, to completely convey what I want her to know. So apparently, my writer's block causes her to follow up and check on me and now I am disheveled and off...

That all that you ever wanted, everything you cared about, was a joke, a sham, nothing more than a mirage and all the time and energy you spent dreaming and believing were nothing more than make believe things, fantasies, that never had a chance to come true. And as you stand there...

So my ex texted me the other day and said she had a dream about me. This from a woman who completely stopped talking to me and her last communication with me was a terse "Time to move on". We texted and instant messaged quit a bit that day and she said simply, "she wanted to talk to me". I told...

There is a lot of wisdom and excellent advice in these posts. I wish you the best skwillrd

Two days ago I woke up at 5 am to a text message from my ex stating "I had a dream about you". It was sent at 1 am that morning and I slept through it which was fine but this was from a woman who had not talked to me in a month. I texted her back and last night we texted until after midnight...

Malaise

I started a new job in August. It wasn't my first choice but I digress (another post for another time). One of my new co workers is a woman the same age as me, a very attractive 41 year old and for what ever reason we have become fast friends. Today, we were talking about life and I said...
