My ex was proposed to last week

[MsDisney23]

A for you Laurie!

 

[eeyore kelly]

I don't have any advice, but wanted you to know I said a prayer for you. I think it is wonderful that you are making sure your daughter is not left with any negative impressions. It shows what a wonderful mother you are.

 

[mark&sue]

It hurst like hell with a pain you cannot describe only to someone who knows how it feels.

I feel your pain.

Well, she has been a member of this board since 1999 and she has almost 29,000 posts. That breaks down to an average of 13 posts per day to this board alone during a 6 year period. I wonder if she visits other boards as well.

What do you think?

I think you shouldn't ever pick on someone for that! How many hours a day do people sit and watch TV? Have you ever thought that this is her hobby and not some other thing? My goodness, that was just a way off base thing!

I can tell you for me, I'm married (and happily). Was able to get posts by talking with friends... 13 posts a day when you are on a computer all day at work is nothing. Some people type fast and have a lot to say! I wouldn't start judging things you have NO clue about!

Anywho... Laurie, my heart breaks for you. I know after the end of a long term relationship (nor married, but was engaged) I felt absolutely horrible. And when I found out he was "in love" again after saying to me he just wanted to be free, nothing to do with me... well it broke my heart. Makes me think of "When Harry Met Sally" and she cries after finding out her ex-fiance was getting married to another. She knew she didn't want him, but the idea of not being wanted is crushing.

I know that's exactly how I felt. Just take heart... you are a beautiful and wonderful person! He never appreciated you the way you deserved... you will find someone who will!!!

My only bit of advice regarding this -- look forward, not back. And keep a positive attitude

 

[Buckalew11]

well, Sonic, Laurie is my friend. A real life friend. I know what kind of a person she is in RL not just on the net. I've been here since 2000 and we've been friends about that long, I guess. I took offense to your kicking her when she was down esp. when you don't know the situation or how long she's been "single" & has had more time to spend here with her friends. I hope you never need to come here and vent or need sympathy. And before you say you wouldn't ever do that anyway, be careful of the word never. Karma works in all different ways.

 

[Pop Daddy]

hang in there

 

[Credit Man]

No words of wisdom, just genuine concern.

 

[Toby'sFriend]

ah, you feel cheated because you are a perfectly nice and lovely person and he treated you like crap and did his best to destroy you and your family. Still, you've done a heck of a job moving on without him. blech on him.

a flaming pile of dog poop on their doorstep is a nice thought, but probably not too practical.

I wish you happiness Serena, however it comes.

 

[Microcell]

You know, it is irrational, but I left a boyfriend of four years for my DH. We just were not going the same direction. Funny, though, ten years later, I like to think he still is there waiting for me. My mind wants him to have moved on and found someone. I don't want him back, but all the same, I like the idea that he wouldn't move on.

Don't tell the boys, but we can't even understand ourselves sometimes!

You have the right to feel the way you do, it didn't work for you and him, so it is natural for you to wonder if it was you that was the problem, but I really think not. He will have problems with her too. He is the problem.

 

[Toby'sFriend]

He will have problems with her too. He is the problem.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I notice you said she proposed to him. He kind of strikes me as a "hanger on" Serena. An emotional leech.

 

[Disney Doll]

He just didn't want to be married to me.

Isn't that a line from "When Harry Met Sally"?

My heart goes out to you, but when I have lost relationships in the past, I have always consoled myself with the fact that things happen the way they are supposed to.

The universe unfolds as it should.

What do you think?

Clearly you can't possibly be implying that the "little woman's" job is to wait with baited breath for her husband's next whim, can you????

 

[Dan Murphy]

Stopping by to pass on a Laurie.

 

[Rajah]

 

[Desiree]

((HUGS)) Laurie. I've been there, done that myself. But just remember, at least you no longer have to deal with your ex's poor habits.... it's all up to her now! Seriously though, it is hard but this too shall pass.

Sonic.. that was totally uncalled for. You don't know her situation.

 

[Serena]

Thank you everyone. You always help me feel better.

 

[Serena]

Ignore Sonic. I am.

{{{Laurie}}}

I didn't read the thread but please don't tell me its the broad with the horses.

You're better off. For sure. He's her problem now. I think having been a sounding board for you during the time you were separated I'm qualified to say that.

Hugs honey.
