How to cheer up and forget the past!

Question - (31 December 2011) 5 Answers - (Newest, 1 January 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Home alone on New Years Eve, am ill and feeling sorry for myself!

Fighting the urge to text the ex happy new year, (he's with someone new, not sure if he knows I know) he wanted to be single?? Wtf?? Too much of a coward to say he didn't want me?

I am getting on my own nerves to be honest, keep crying, and feeling blue, not sure if it's the time of year, his new relationship, or being ill at the moment? Maybe all 3??

I don't know why I can't just get over it? I thought I was till I found out. I have never been like this before. Is it my age? (lol)I was single and very happy before I met him, and its been a while since we split, though up until a month or so ago we texted quite regularly. What is wrong with me? Any advice as to how to really get past this? Any encouragement welcome!

Sugarbuns, you are right, I need to snap out of it! Maybe that will be one of my new years resolutions! I did text him :-( before I got any answers...but It was a goodbye text to him, wishing him & new girlfriend happy new year...:-) A 'closure' text if you like. I told him I won't text him again as I don't want to cause any problems for them. Edgardo, thanks you make some very wise points, I will take them on board :-) Male reader in similar situation, I hope you have a better year this year, good luck to you. Bernard, I love that song! I need to stop moping about and move on! Male reader, yep, who knows, I'll never get the truth out of him, so I have to accept it :-) maybe the best way to get over him is get under someone else!!;-) lol.

Am off to have lunch with the family today, so that will keep my mind off it for a bit anyway!!

Thank you so much for all your advice, here's to 2012!! Happy New Year to you all.

Thanks xxx

Sugarbuns agony auntFor God's sake do NOT text your ex. Clearly "I wanna be single for awhile" is code for "I met someone I'd rather be with"....he just didn't have the guts to tell you the truth. Snap out of it! I'm sure you are beautiful and smart and should not waste another minute on this guy! Yes he hurts like hell. Go out and have a facial, a massage, a make over. Highlight your hair, join the gym(lots of cute guys to meet there) take up guitar lessons, or learn how to paint. Find things to do that excite you and you will meet a great guy who loves those things too. Pretty soon you're wonder why you wasted so much time feeling bad about the guy who dumped you. When it ends it's painful but you will bounce back. Just keep telling yourself that every day. xoxxox
