Hi Tina!

I'm sorry your break-up didn't go so well... breaking up is hard to do! It's unfortunate though that he took it so bad. I'm wondering Tina, do you still feel like you did the right thing? What I mean is, are you comfortable with it, even though it was hard?

This may or may not help you, but reading your post today reminded me of the one and only time I broke up with someone (which hardly ever happened because I was always on the receiving end of break-ups) that ended on a bad note... Because of his mental abuse, I dread the day that I see him again. I had pushed it so far deep into my mind that I had forgotten about it when you had posted your plans for your break-up...

I was dating this guy who was the most controlling, self-centered, egotistical jerk I had ever met. Not to mention the fact that he was a complete idiot and thought of himself as a genius! We had only dated for 6 months, but I knew that I couldn't live with him for the rest of my life let alone another minute and that breaking up was gonna be difficult, because I knew he would cry and blame everything on me. When the time came, he cried like a baby and I left him feeling like I had been punched in the gut. As hard as it was, I took comfort in the fact that it was the best thing I could have done for myself. If it wasn't for the fact that he owed me a ton of money, of which I had to take legal action to get posession of, I would have walked away from him and never looked back.

It was difficult at first, but each day got a little easier. To my surprise, my perseverance paid off later that year when I met Eric, who turned out to be my soul mate.

I realize you've been with this guy for a really long time and I know you're hurting right now and that's normal, but it will get easier Tina. Just take each day one at a time.

HUGS!
