I have moments, like this evening, that I miss my ex.  I miss the good times.  I miss someone to hangout with, cuddle with, etc.  My mind sometimes starts working overtime, wondering what he is doing with the replacement, what his life is like, how much I still love him, all the memories of us and our life together  and I can't shake it.  I have been trying to date - I feel like if I don't, it's kind of like wanting to win the lottery when you aren't even buying a ticket.

I'm just so lonely.  I have acquaintances but I feel like there is no one I WANT to spend time with.  My ex was such a big part of my life. We did a lot together.  He was my best friend.  And now he is gone.  And I sit at home.  Alone.

I feel and miss all of the same things you also do, for me tho its not so much her but missing having someone special... .Its the fantasy of her but not really her if that makes sense.  It does bother me that shes probably enjoying life at the moment and I am not... .its only for the short term tho.

Same boat here, been really bad last few days, what makes it worse is that I was cheated on, and she moved straight in with him, and basically replaced me within a week, which hurts, and I know she would be having fun and enjoyment, and not making a single look backwards. I am the only one who is suffering.

Can I get in on this lil circle? Night time is the worst for me. It's hard to shut my mind off. I don't want to date bc I freak out at the thought of trying to get to know someone.  It isn't out of loneliness either, I truly miss her. My story echoes yours. I'm laying here typing on a message board while she's laying next to someone new. I'm glad I made it so easy to get over.
