Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I have been on this site a few months now and have enjoyed the companionship and knowledge gained. Something not so nice happened to me today. I have always tried to be supportive and nice to everyone I have come in contact with and for the most part everyone on this site has reciprocated in the same manner. However today, I received an email from a member saying that there were a couple members in need of a hug today. So, trying again to be kind to others I hugged them and told them to take care and God Bless as I usually do. For the hug I gave one of the members I received a NO Thanks. Now, I don't want to date this person or even get to know him I merely hugged him because I was told he was really in need of one. It really kind of hurt to have my kindness thrown back at me. I don't want anything in return. I don't know that I will hug anyone again. It's that old fear of rejection. I never thought I would get kicked in the teeth by someone on this website who went through or who was going through the same thing that I am. So in advance, hugs to all of you. I won't be giving anymore hugs to anyone individually.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You found it within you to try to give support to someone else in what sounds like the same manner you would want someone to support you.
That's where your responsibility for this ends.
I wouldn't take it personally that this person sent you a reply back; perhaps they have strong objections to anything that has to do with religion or spirituality. So it wasn't you that had issues with. They were just expressing their preferences for possible future correspondence.
Ya did good. You reached out to someone, and that's all that matters. If my arms would reach, I would pat you on the back ;)
(So to speak) Mixing a couple quotes together, I think you catch my drift.
Rejection always hurts. But to know that there may be a day when you wanted to hug ME and didn't, and maybe I really needed it, because of some confusing cyber person who said 'no thanks' to a hug. That's sad to me.
