Do You Have The "Ex Is End All" Syndrome?

Question

You know the one... Where you think there is nothing to be gained after your old mate. How did you get over that?

Answer 1

Yes.... It happens....
Can I recommend a book? LOL
Pick up 'It's Called a Breakup because it is Broken'
This has to be the best most uplifting book ever!
You are totally hotter and better than him, so go find yourself a new mate who appreciates you and thinks the world of you!

good luck!

Answer 2

I went out with a guy for a while--about 9 months--and I totally should have broken up with him at like, 1 month. But for some reason, I didn't, and when he broke up with me it was like someone had cut off one of my legs it hurt so bad. I cried so hard the first night, my mom gave me some kodine to knock me out...lol. It didn't work. I thought I was going to die. But you know what? I didn't! That was two years ago! A few months later I met the man of my dreams, who treats me like gold, and I couldn't be happier. The moral of this story is...don't let the loss of a relationship cloud your vision; it might be blinding you to something much more beautiful in the future. Just take every day as it comes; breathe in, and breathe out. There's nowhere to go from the bottom but up!

Answer 3

Yes. She is my ex through a divorce. I'm in therapy because I feel all screwed up. Discovered through therepy that the reason I felt that she is the "end all" was that I was codependent. It's not the divorce itself that has me all screwed up, it's the fact I built my world around her and she is me "end all". So what I had wasn't a "syndrome" but codependency.

Answer 4

Life happens, and you meet another person that suceeds over last one's mistakes.

Been there, takes some time but eventually happens.
