How Do You Recover?

jack said:
Yet, years later you still talk about her and refer to her. My feeling is love and hate is the same emotion with a different "charge".

I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm right either, I'm just pointing out that you mention your ex a lot.

Only because she's keeping my kids from me. If we didn't have kids, I wouldn't even think about her.

So... what's the best way to recover after the end of a relationship?

It's been 10 days since I left and I'm a wreck. I haven't eaten, I can't sleep and I break out in tears at the most unexpected times. This morning, I blacked out while getting dressed for work and hit my head on the wall. I thank God that all I have to show for that is a soft bruise and a mild headache.

It's absolutely insane to love someone so deeply and so devastating to not be able to make it work.

Help me out. What's the secret? What's the best way to recover? I was the one who left. I shouldn't be feeling this way.

Serious and not so serious replies are welcome. Trust me, I could use a good laugh right now.

I'll spell it out for you.

P*O*R*N
 
Vox, I guess it comes down to believing that emotions, even seemingly true ones, can be transient. It's hard for women to understand the way men can turn off their feelings at times, but they do.

I've learned to accept that is how life works, and to act accordingly.

Sarek...porn doesn't work for women. I tried. It made me feel worse.

Friday, some responsibility has to go to women here about emotions. I spend HOURS listening to my wife spill hers, and that's where true intimacy usually occurs.

Men "turn off their feelings" when they see that the woman they're with is a shallow bitch. When a man dares to bare his soul, the woman needs to pay attention the same way, if they want that kind of connection, at least. The idea that we turn our emotions on and off like a spigot is specious, if not utter bullshit.

We're as deep, if not deeper. Just different in function.
 
I turn off my feelings all the time. Bottle them up, "deal" with life and my day and just wait for them to explode when I have the time to "deal" with them then. Not really an effective tool to have.
