They Do Not Come Back and They Do Not Care Anymore!

I am going to be honest here. When I deleted him from Facebook, I thought (so silly of me) he would notice and care. Well he hasn’t noticed, and he does not care that we are no longer friends on Facebook.

I remember these same feelings of sad, anger, hurt, etc., from my first love fifteen years ago. I was obsessed over him dumping me and I played over, in my mind, what I would say to him when he called or if I ever saw him again. Well guess what, he never came back either and he stopped caring before he dumped me.

Now, here I am, fifteen years later obsessing over another person who has dumped me. I have played it in my mind repeatedly of what I am going to say when he comes back. I finally had to tell me self “self, he ain’t coming back!”

Why do I do this to myself? Granted this is only the second time I have been so deeply in love, but why do I obsess about him coming back? Why do I think he cares anymore? If he was coming back, he would not have left (or dumped me) and he cared we would still be together.

So instead of obsessing over what I will say or do when he calls, emails, or texts, I just need to face my reality that he is NOT coming back. If he did, why would I want him back. What I am going through because of the dumping should be enough for me to not even what him again.

They never come back. They do stop caring. They move on and live their lives quite happily. Maybe I should take a page from their book.

Yes so true. Its the obsessing that is so hard to stop. The woulda/coulda/shoulda moments that come in your head. Ugh. But its all apart of the process. In time ( I hope soon) this will be just a bad memory that I will not remember.

It's one of the saddest and most hurtful moments... when you realize that perhaps that love died long ago, and it was just a matter of time before he moved on. I hear you. But you know what? One of the best feelings in the world is when you have realized that you have stopped obsessing over his faux hurt and you are able to move on as well....
It feels good to write.
