I took my exboyfriend back. It is a way to have closure and heal, maybe not the best choice. He was not doing well, I wanted to be there for him, and it feels good to feel love between us. Have a feeling it's not the last time. IT's crazy. 3 breakups/reconciliations in 2 months. He is the biggest part of my support group, so it seemed easy to go back, though it's a painful choice knowing what I know (and tend to deny) about how bad it can get.

Been doing that for 2 years now. We've been married for 20, but the last two have been hell. I wish we just broke it off the frist time. 2 years of going back and forth has done more damage to me and my kids. Be so careful...I thought it would be worth to try to be together with our long history (high school sweethearts) and having kids, but no...just made it worse on everyone involved! I do know what you mean by he's your main support group, but in the end you could be more broken hearted when it turns out your main support turns out to be the most soul crushing person in your life. I wish you luck.

It looks to me that YOU need to be the biggest part of your support. I don't understand how you think getting back togeth eris gonna work. You're breaking up because things are not going well. You're simply putting off the inevitable.

You know those reasons you both had for breaking up? Yeah, those don't just magically go away just because you breakup and get back together. If anything, they usually get worse.

And making the person you're breaking up with a major part of your support system is -not- a good idea. That's just going to twist the knife a little deeper when you do finally break it off for good.

In order to have closure, you have to let go and close the door. I have been there and nothing good came out of it. This time the door is closed for good and my son and I are bettr off emotionally.

I have a friend who took a phrase and made it into one word. So I have one word for you.

    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...
