How do you mend a broken heart? How do you stop the rain from falling down? How do you stop sending her email?

Question

She abruptly ended it after 2.5 years. In fact, she just announced she was going on vacation with another guy. Part of me says to move on, that I should not be with her, but another part wants to keep sending 'please reconsider' emails. How do I move on?

I'm about 50 years old.

Answer 1

Get Control of yourself, man. Let her go. Do you really want someone who would have to "reconsider" you.

Your merits require no reconsideration. She either gets it or she doesn't. She chose not to get it.

If you are as valuable and worthwhile as a man must be to hold a woman's interest for 2.5 years - you must be quite the catch. (I don't think its your fault she threw you back.)

Keep looking. There are countless women in an appropriate age group for you. Keep you eyes open and don't set specific expectations. Women tend to fail miserably at meeting men's expectations anyway.

Be who you are - be the best at who you are - and be the magnet the right woman needs.

Best wishes!

Answer 2

You need to read the writing on the wall - it was good as long as it was good but it obviously isn't good anymore - people don't look outside of a relationship when the relationship is satisfying.

I always find it surprising when folks seem to have no clue what their mate is feeling - especially if it's in the form of dissatisfaction. Try to hone your observation skills so the next one will last longer.

As for moving on - it's always harder for the one left behind, and depending on how deeply you felt for her - will determine how long it'll take you to get over her. Don't continue to ask her to reconsider - there was a reason for her to have left you in the first place and this will only make you appear weak and whiny. Don't do it - if she ever wants to reconsider, she'll know where to find you. Time to move on and give some other lucky gal a chance ~

Answer 3

you know in a relationship there is always two side of a coin, sometimes you win and sometimes u lose...theres always a risk that you might get hurt...but u know life never ends where heartaches begin... the only way to forget is to accept..and the only way to move on is to look ahead and let the the past be blown by the wind of time... You must be thankful because she made you become stronger and you will become wiser the next time you pass by it... she's not worth the pain...she is so damn not to appreciate you... There is a lot of fish in the sea...so move on...

Answer 4

you stop sending her emails ... maybe write in a journal ... if she left you for another guy than it sounds like they were together for awhile before she broke up with you. Why would you want to beg her to come back, you should seriously take this as a blessing that she's not in your life any more and realize that you can do better than a cheating girlfriend ... no matter how old you are no one deserves to be treated like that.

Answer 5

I find that going out and exploring helps my heart.

Praying stops the rain.

Unplugging the keyboard will stop the emails.

One Day at a Time My Dear; One Day at a Time.

Warm Blessings
