In love with someone whose heart belongs to someone else.

[i<3pi]

I need to say this to someone, but I have no one currently. So, this forum will have to do. Any comments or advice are welcome.

I dated a guy for five years until he broke up with me over a year ago. We remain best friends, but I'm still in love with him. I know he'd been dating another girl for about a month, but I didn't think it was serious at all. So, I told him yesterday how I felt. Apparently, he's "absolutely in love" with his girlfriend. They're talking about moving in together, when I couldn't even get him to consider moving in with me after five years! He's actually done a lot of things for her that he wouldn't do for me. I feel completely destroyed. I always thought we'd get back together and live happily ever after. He was absolutely the best thing in my life, and now things are so weird between us. I feel like I've lost everything.

I can't stand this. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up until either they're broken up or I'm too senile to care. Instead I'm reverting to starving myself. I had been getting better for a couple years, but I can't deal with this. I can't deal with anything. I feel so helpless and lost.

~If you are still in love with him then being friends with him is the best thing for you to do right now. Mainly because seeing him with his new girl hurts you. Give him time to miss you!! Give yourself sometime to understand why things didn't work out and work on yourself,inside and out. You are going to feel grate about the accomplishments and the things you have done for yourself by yourself! No men necessary!

Let me know how it goes;)

Yeah, I know I need to move on. I've been trying to do so. Recent events have been like ripping stitches out of a still healing heart. I am worried if I give him space and time to miss me, he won't and I lose my best friend as a result. This sucks.

Anyway, thanks for listening and your responses.

Carpe diem. Be selfish. We are born and designed to be selfish. And when it comes down to feelings, nobody's going to erect you a statue if you don't defend your interests. Go for it.

the only thing to do is get a bigger carrot.
