I so relate to this.

me too.

I am not even divorced yet and I already miss all that.

I would miss those things... if I ever truly had them. :(

I can relate:(

Sigh.......me too :(

I miss all those things so much too

I miss an enigmathe woman I thought she was, turned out to be an act! The side of her she wanted me to see. I miss having a woman to hold at night, wake up with in the morning. I miss not having a warm body next to mine, the quiet moments when it was just the two of us as one, and the rest of the world didn't matter. I miss someone to fuss over and surprise. I miss feeling wanted, needed, feeling appreciated for nothing more than who I am. I miss someone to surprise with breakfast in bed, or just a cup of tea. The little things are those that have the most bite. Still, I would rather be by myself for a while than continue living with someone who really just used me for convenience. I deserve better than that. But I know the right "Miss" will appear in my life soon enoughhappy days:)

Yes, I miss all of the above...I would do anything in the world to turn back time so that I could change the course of our future. Even the most mundane things were a pleasure when we did them together. I never dreamed that the last time we did something/anything together would be the LAST time we did something/anything together. I've been told many, many times that things will get better, just different...but, I liked the way things were. Let's hope this passes...

Blah, missing all those things too, especially this weekend :(

I would love to have all those things eventually - not from my ex though. I want a fresh, healthy start. But for now I am enjoying my solitude and peace :)

It's the little things we miss the most. I miss looking at him from across the room, knowing exactly what he is thinking. Or knowing he knows what I am thinking. The things that we would both laugh at that nobody else thought funny I miss doing special things for him. I miss surprising him. I miss seeing his eyes crinkle when he smiled. I miss the laughter.

"Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were."

I was going to chime in too, but decided "he is just not worth going down that road again". I am into my 6th month of this unwanted breakup and it has been so hard. there are a million things I miss about him but for me to continue healing (yes folks, it does get better, I was a sceptic too about that) I just can't think about him anymore. I know how painful, lonely, sad, frustrating this chapter of life is for all of us and my heart breaks that there are so many of us here. I wish you all luck and a brighter future. Hang in there, take it one day at a time..hugs

#13 - thank you - sometimes we forget that we are on a mission - which is to overcome this difficult phase of our lives - what exactly do we miss? - Most people who break up have had an unstable, unhealthy relationship for a long, long time - so are we idolizing things? - are we missing the person and drama - or do we miss the life/relationship we were hoping to have? - I think for most - things are way better now that they no longer have to deal with neglect, verbal abuse, cheating, physical abuse, alcoholism, etc, etc - but for some reason we want to think we are missing something that we didn't even have - go figure.

Natural though - but to say our EX who abandoned us was our best friend - sounds a bit weird - if they were - why are they no longer around? - IJS - who knows.

Keep your head up everyone - Like #13 - said, it gets better, there is life and peace after a break up! - B WELL!!!

The person I was with was an actress with motive always in mind so I miss the idea of it. I hope to share the experience with a real person some day
