Yay I'm so glad that things are better, I have been thinking about your situation over the past couple days, hoping you were ok, so it's good to hear! Keep us posted on your progress!

That's it! That's exactly what you need and deserve. I'm so happy for you

So, what can I say, I'm doing fantastic!

I have been spending a lot of time with a more important man, my dad.

He has been teaching (read correcting *very* bluntly) me some seriously awesome brush and blending techniques. I am seeing a huge improvment in my MU skills.

I can safely say I feel better for losing 100kg of unwanted carbon. Obviously I have moped a little, but I am shocked at how well I am coping with it. Mornings are the worst, the hollow waking up next to no one is weird. But it's improving, I don't miss morning arse breath flavoured kisses for sure!!!

Oh, and I know it's FAR too soon to consider a new man, but i have found since I have felt better I have had more attention paid to me by men.

I did however exchange numbers "for a drink sometime" (even though neither of us drink! lol) with this cute blond with a ponytail I got chatting to on my way to work today.

Yup, I'm on that good form I pulled at 7.30 am!

I'm also off for my FIRST EVER salon haircut tuesday.

(A friend inspired me, sometimes a change is a good thing.

)

I haven't felt this good in years.

I am glad that you're doing so well girl! You're dad is the best man to be spending time with right now, and it sounds like you're doing quite a bit of that. I'm not surprised you've moped a bit, but it's sounds like overall your life is singing a much more positive song!!

 

[abbyquack]

Wow that's so awesome that you're still doing well- I love that you have such an optimistic outlook- that is the most important thing. Granted it will be tough (as you have noticed) but it sounds like it's a much-needed change, and I'm glad it's been as successful as it has. Also, enjoy the haircut! They always say that's a great thing to do after a breakup, and I really think it is too.

Actually have you ever seen Sliding Doors w/ Gwenyth Paltrow? She does a drastic hair change after a b/u. It is a sappy chick flick but you may enjoy it!

Anyways keep us posted!

So glad you are doing so well! Some people in our lives are literally emotional drains.

 

[greengoesmoo]

^^^ Abbyquack, I watched sliding doors, it was okay but not one I will repeat watch!

Thanks everyone for being so supportive.

Life is FAR TOO SHORT to waste laying in the bath drinking gin and listening to soft cell.

I'm normally an emotional brick wall with a romantic matters when it came to him, such a long time and strong ties, I needed someone to hold my hand a bit to get it done.

So thank you very much. All of you.

Go girl you have deffo done the right thing - just caught this thread and as I was reading your first post I just wanted to shout "RUN!!!" and tell you to get the hell out of there - so pleased you have done and things are going so well. Honestly that guy had serious problems and that was never gonna be healthy - he was well into complete manipulation mode. So proud of you for not falling for it!!! Congrats and enjoy xx
