rose-colored glasses

does anyone else suffer from this? i do and i feel like it's a curse.

basically...long story short. i've let the "ex"-cancer come in and run his game or whatever he was doing with me. now, because of it, my friends probably don't trust me as much or don't see me as the one to be able to give advice to anymore. that along with the fact that they're fed up with hearing about it. understandable.

aries and cancer can be oblivious to other's emotions sometimes... other times, they can be rather emotionally responsive

but yeah, this thread's probably for me too

yea the one i've dealt with was just a complete jerk but i had already liked him because of how nice he had been before so it was hard to deal with when he suddenly decided to be emotionally nonresponsive and lock himself in his shell.

non of my friends liked him and thought i was going through a weird phase liking him for how disrespectful he could be...but i tried to be understanding for some weird fucked up reason instead of worrying about my own happiness.

none*

that'll happen..

"

that'll happen..found myself in similar situation for way too long with an abusive partner.. a string of them actually
i'm sure that whatever's meant to happen, will do so with or without your help.. hopefully you won't let the situation control you
sounds like u r still with him, but are unhappy about it
sup wif dat?

no i'm not with him anymore. we tried to be friends...but didn't really talk all that much. i wanted to make it work as a friendship but i really couldn't separate how i had felt about him before and a friendship. i've done my part in not contacting him, but he contacts me a lot and it's harder for me to back away from it when i hear from him. so i had to block him. i've been learning the hard way that it won't work.

sounds like it might be for the best. i've been there b4, and it would probably be difficult for me too

in fact, i know it has, because i've been on the other spectrum of things for you

why did you want to make it work as a friendship?

well we had a lot of fun together so i wanted to keep that fun and he has some qualities that i really liked. he knows how to be sweet and he's more sensitive than other guys. but now i know that i can't be friends and i have to let it go.

he's being clingy?

nope no clingyness...

u know, i didn't even realize until now that the title of my thread rhymes with yours

so what are you gonna do about him then

i have to learn to say goodbye. i'm too young to find or know what i'm looking for anyway. i let him in too much for my own good and now i know what i'm like in a relationship. boo...

ah well...i've met some pretty awesome boys the past few months though and i should just have fun. i'm only 21..

i have to keep telling myself it won't work...but once i get that text message from him it gets so hard...goottt...ttooo breaaakk the cyccellle.
