The pain and confusion has subsided. It seemed sudden, almost as if I couldn't take feeling any more pain... .I woke one day, and it was gone. I have moments where I miss him, but realize and accept that our future is no longer. He and I both have a lot of growing and healing to do before we will be on happy relationships with anyone, much less, each other. I will still stick around here, as I am sure I am not fully out of the woods yet. He is still in my life, but his behavior no longer affects me like it once did. I have learned to expect the unexpected from him, and don't take it personally when he is inconsistent, or flips his switches on me. I wish that I had some wisdom to pass on, but all I can truly say, is hold on, it gets better. You deserve so much more than he/she was/is able to give you... .

I hope this day comes for me. I feel like, even though I've given up on wanting to be with her. I still feel stuck. Because I can't make sense of someone I loved with every ounce of myself doing such horrible things.
