KILL me with your sting...

Understanding Emotional Pain in Relationships

Feeling overwhelmed after a breakup or rejection is normal. It is important to honor your emotions and give yourself time to heal. Recognize that both partners have growth areas and that mismatched timing or sensitivities can affect relationships. Focus on self-care and trust that clarity will come with time.

I left a note, weak me. He called with a million sweet messages. I messaged back that we are not right, it won't work right now. And he stung back. I am bawling and I don't know what to do. I was trying to follow my heart but this kills. Am I so wrong?

He left me with these 2 messages:

- Pain is weakness leaving the body

-I am too sensitive for you anyways..I have too much to accomplish & see anyways.

I feel sooooooo COLD right now. He said he wished I could have given him another chance, that he didn't want to rush things either. I really do feel he does have lots to grow & learn though. We don't match now, even if I do like him. Am I so wrong?

No you are not wrong. You did the right thing and that's that. He's just a little sad and yeah mad too but he'll get over it. Ugly part over now it's time to look forward.

In a year maybe you'll be married to him. In a year maybe you won't even remember him. It doesn't matter.

Just take it one moment at a time. If you're hungry right now, eat right now. If you're sad right now, cry right now.

There's a verse in the bible: "look to the lillies, they neither spin nor toil." Every living thing grows into whatever its meant to be by just being itself, no 'toil' is required.

You're just one more flower(!). Smile up at the sun and leave the rest to the underlying intelligence that guides all things.

Tiamat is right TG. Of course you cannot be in a relation which does not seem to be right for you. so you are right in initiating the breakup. But your scorp man must be loving you so much, that he has not lashed out at you or shown his terrible/violent anger towards you. Do understand that he must have been very very hurt and it is the love for you which has made him to limit his 'sting' to such moderate messages. Personally I do not believe it to be a killing sting. It is only a reaction of a very hurt man. Being a scorpio, I know the extent to which his retaliation can go--if he feels like it. What you have had is nowhere near it.

Well he went from, pleading why not another chance?, to cold, to I don't need you!, to...

texting me at 5:30am that he wished for more and that he'll miss me. I smiled sadly. I think we'll both be okay. Just takes time & maybe one day I can see him & go for lunch and catch up properly.

Sounds like you can both be on good terms and keep contact. This is always a good thing, just remember that if you feel anything for him at all....be ok with whatever he does next, it could be something odd.

Oh,although I was thinking that too,I was just acting stupid to attempt to make her laugh with that lol.Yeah,he hasn't stung and sounds more like it's he's confused and hurt more than anything.She'll need some time to get better about it too,so okay,You were with him for what 2 months TG?Okay with the theory about it takes half the time that you were together to get over a relationship,wait a month and then think about it so you know for sure if it's not just the fact that you just do care enough to not want to hurt him or feeling guilty.I think it's just you care enough to not want to hurt him because he IS good friend material to you in your opinion or at least thats the impression you've given me.

It is stupid. It's obvious that everything is over now. Keeping contact will make you live with a "hope", a hope that will never turn to be true, and even if it will, then this is just because someone does not have necessary self respect.

I haven't talked to him since, yet he is still constantly texting me messages, wavering between rude & sweet. Gawd, now I know why I broke up with him! He's a nutjob! I don't blame it on being scorpio either, HE is just screwed up.

"Make up some real fruity messages to text back to him. Then maybe he will think "She is totally bonkers!" and leave you alone"

Lol! yattayattahey. That was going to be my advice also! Actually I've done it myself... it's so funny. Actually I did it to a Scorp 😛 I would text stuff like, "I'm a balloon" lol Hey! I have a fascination with balloons alright!

Yeah, Scorps like torture, that won't get you the result you want at all.

LOL @ "I'm a balloon"

I was thinking more like ..... "ooooooooh baby I can't live another day without you." followed immediately by "oops sorry, that was meant for someone else, damn fat fingers and little buttons. Have a good one!"

Lol... yeah I was being silly with the balloon one cuz I didn't like him, just entertaining myself 😛 The stupidest things slip outta my mouth sometimes but why stop oneself? ha ha ha
But that one just sounds plain out cruel yattayattahey! So you got fat fingers ey?

Oh yatta, you are sooooo cruel! I love it! I don't think I could do that though, unless he starts to stalk me, well then, I may get evil. H-ll it would be nice to have an excuse to do the things we fantasize about. lol

Yeah that's a little cruel. If I was truly pissed off, india ink in the window washer fluid is one of the best little one's I've heard of, but that would probably get you jail time.

lol stick with "I'm a balloon!"

"You know...Scorpio's hate to lose. "

Only if it's a good enough competition or we're bored enough😛

"I blame all the Scorp influences in my chart. *takes a bow* "

You think?😉

"Yeah, Scorps like torture, that won't get you the result you want at all. "

I always thought it was called friendly competition or just normal sex stuff instead of torture😢

"Scorps are hard to ditch" moi? why? we no do notin'! we innocent! *gives angel look*

tg, i think you've done the right thing. if you don't feel comfortable in that relationship, then you simply don't. he's got to accept it. unfortunately, doing the right thing not always instantly leads to the result that we want. life and people are unpredictable! it's not like you push the right break-up-button and everyone's happy. give it time, let him be mad. he must have real feeling for you, after all.

he's got to accept the break up and you've got to accept that he's hurt. you go with your heart and break up and he goes with his heart and is hurt? if it's hard for him why should it be easy for you. only fair. don't you think?

"breakups aren't easy" true, true...

good luck, mate.

Hey Update: I talked to him on the phone. He's had a horrible time and things in his life collided right after I left. Things involving family and fights and accidents, and theft...

He had so many questions for me, and I think he deserved more than I had first given him. He sounded relieved to talk and I think we'll be ok. It sounded like he really just needed a friend. I think that's what we forgot the first time. Not like we'll hook up again, but I think we'll be able to communicate now and make something of our care for each other, whatever that is.
