Well if its one thing I've learned about human psychology, is that when a person has something and they know they have it, it isn't as important anymore but when that person finds out overtime that they are about to loose what they no longer thought was important, they suddenly want it back.
Its like for example, your a poor person and you keep playing the lotto and one day you finally win 3 million dollars. Now you have all this money, and its not important anymore because that is it, you have it, its yours. But now lets say you lost all of that money, soon you find that you suddenly want it back, you fear life with out it because of all it has brought you, so you fight to get it back.
Another example, I had a GEO 92 Prizm I loved very much, really nice car. I spent tremendous money restoring it and got it working again. Once it was mine, I could care less of it, I didn't feel the same way about it. I lended it to a friend and something went wrong on the trip from New Jersey to Pennsylvania, I think a oil leak developed under the oil pan, they had recently done an oil change back there, maybe the guy that serviced it forgot to put the screw back on or something, I never checked but the engine was completely blown away. I looked at it, I did everything I could, tried to figure out what was wrong. I even brought parts to try to get it to work, thought about towing it. Suddenly I really wanted my GEO back so bad it hurt. I had no choice but to junk it and I tell you, it was really hard to let go, to see it get towed away for ever, I never knew a man could get so attached to a machine. Sometimes, if your not careful with what you have, you might loose it for ever.
This has happened to me and my "ex". I remember we had a big argument once. I told her to bring me some food at work but she was unable too, I was hungry as hell that day and got really upset. When I came home, I didn't wanted to talk to her, told her it was over and that I didn't wanted to see her again, she cried for hours and hours, I staid at a friends house while she began packing things to leave my house. It wasn't long before I started thinking that I didn't want to loose her, who was I going to hold now? who was I going to kiss? I went back running to the house and saw her crying in the room. I locked the door and hugged and cried with her and told her to forgive. She hugged me and begged me not to leave her, she said I love you too many so many times I can't even remember, we hugged and hugged and kissed for a while. Of course, the next day she was now upset at me but she didn't wanted to tell you, she politely asked me to unpack everything and put it back were it was, I had no choice but to do it, it was my fault anyway. She didn't talk to me for days even though we talked about it but I guess that was my punishment for making her cry. A week later we talked and agreed that we will always love each other no matter what happens.
You see, when we have something and we know we have it. We tend to become complacent and not worry about it but, when we are about to loose that something, we immediately take action because, its not the object of our desire that we are loosing, its everything that comes along with it.
john, don't worry about it. I have talked to many relationship counselors and have learned a lot from them. Most of them reminded me that if a person truly loves you, sometimes they will hurt you intentionally for your own sake but in reality they still love you dearly. You can't stop loving a person in one day, that is impossible, for love to die something very catastrophic must happen but that is very unlikely. No matter how many obstacles, arguments, painful moments, deception...in the end, if you clear all of those obstacles, love is still there waiting, just as you left it, you will see in time.
Love is not perfect, it survives with friendship and affection. When a relationship goes sour, its usually because of lack of affection between both partners, this happens because they know they have each other, and they don't feel like they have to do is much (when we have it, we no longer want it) then the couple decides to break up, this is a hurtful moment, passion and affection start to build up again because you start missing that person (when we loose what we no longer wanted, we suddenly want it back) soon after some time, you both realize you can't live with out each other and you get together again and the love cycle begins again. However, for some the possibility of re-uniting is impossible in some events (if were not careful, we could loose that person for ever) if you don't fight in the end for that person you love, you might not get them back.
Either person must make the call if the no contact rule is employed. The no contact rule does not work if you were the one who broke up with your loved one...the no contact rule works if you are the one they broke up with.
This rule works for you john, this rule works for me. I am speaking for both of us now...our girls don't realize that with out us, they loose everything that we have given them. It was us, that made the baby a posibility, it was us that brought them love, only us know how to make them feel special, only us know them so well and only us can provide support when that young one is born.
If a woman hurts a man so much up to the point were he begins to hate the mother, he might be doubtful about the future, start wondering if the baby is his or not (this is why men request paternity test after baby is born, before they sign any papers) this always happens because of the mother and her course of actions during the pregnancy an act of infidelity or being too distant.
Its actually even more dangerous when you now your girl has an "ex" husband. My "ex" had an "ex" husband. I forgot to tell you guys she has a 1 year old kid. She had divorced with her husband weeks after the baby was born (this was 1 year and a couple of months from now) It was very hard winning the love of my girl, I spent months and months, showing how much I cared for her, how much I wanted to be with her. She gave me a yes last December during Christmas night. From this day we became two love birds, we were inseparable. A month later we started using the "I love you" word. She started it first, one day she just texted me "I ..... you." I looked it at for a while and realize that this can mean two things, I like you or I love you or even I care for you....I had to risk it, I responded with a big fat "I love you? because I do love you." she just said, "umm, ok!" She didn't say anything for days and then one day, I texted it to her "I love you" and to my surprise, she said "I love you too." When I got home from work, we had a passionate night (oh yes baby! lol) This was around February, we said I love you to each other thought that hole moment, it wasn't sex, this was love. I think that's were my little one started his life.
We were very happy with each other and soon she told me she was pregnant, I was happy happy, we both wanted this baby in our life. I later took her out to eat, and then gave her a promise ring, she cried and accepted it.
The month of March came and we were still very happy with each other, going out and having lots of fun. And then on the third week of March she started a strange pattern. She stopped texting me at work to see how I was doing, she stopped saying I love you, she would say it back if I said it to her but she never said it to me, she stopped taking initiative for everything. It wasn't soon before she started sleeping in what used to be my sisters room (she had moved out, my whole family did, they left the house to me) there was a big TV there, she said she was just watching a movie but slowly she started sleeping there more often. One day I just decided I would sleep with her one night and thats when she told me, "I want to be alone ok, look...i've been thinking about moving out. I didn't wanted to tell you but, its just how I feel." --- This happened on the last week of March, she was a moody and bitchy person through out all that week.
By April she had moved out across the other block from my house. I was now sleeping on my own and turned into an emotional wreck. I kept texting her why oh why...more like were you are right now john, I was just like you man, I was desperate, I wanted to hang myself. I didn't know what to do, I wanted her back so bad. I kept asking myself, what did I do wrong, I would visit the places were we spent time at and think about those moments and it just made me cry and cry, I couldn't stop crying. I slowly started going to her house and kept insisting and saying I love you to her but she never said it back, I never gave up. One day she was just so angry when I tried to talk to her that she finally said the words that hurt me really bad, "she said, she no longer loved me and to just find another woman and move on with my life." I wanted to die man, I cried in front of her like an idiot and she was strong as hell, not one tear in her eye, "man don't cry, just suck it up, be a man." I was so angry that I left. The hormones kicked into full that day.
I slowly got over it and visited her house to bring her food and sometimes money. She was very cold and dark. I lost all hope, I lost my house, then I lost my job, then I lost my car and soon I was living in an apartment with overdue rent and my life was just an emotional train wreck.
You guys already know that eventually we got back together again some were in June after a big argument. That she did all that she did to push her away and while her hormones weren't attacking her she told me something very important that I just remembered now after talking about the past. She told me, "baby no matter what happens, please don't stop loving me, please don't leave me." My best guess is that at some point, this was going to happen again and she warned me before her hormones take control again, perhaps to remind me that she still loves me no matter what happens, no matter what she says to me.
Well I can see that this post turned into a boook! Were did I run off too? I'm sure I glad all this off my chest, now i'm going to walk to my moms house and see if shes got anything for me to eat. Spend some time there, then come back home and chill out with some C++ programming to get my mind of my "ex". I've got plenty of fun things to do which will keep me entertained and my "ex" is just a thing of the past. Now, I have to let go and move on, good things come to those who wait and I know that in the end, i've got a little boy and thats all that matters. I may have lost the woman I love so much but I've still got a little boy to look after.
I remain hopeful, because my girl said, "Just for now." She said she was stressed and needed to be alone. Since I kept pressuring her, she got annoyed I guess and told those things to me so I can forget about her and she can get her "alone time."
Like I said, I have a clock on my desktop that is ticking. Its got the baby due date which is now at 135 days, 18 hours and 42 minutes and bellow that is another one called "Hormonal Normal" I created this one because I think that by the time this clock reaches ZERO my "ex"s hormones would have settle down, I'm basing this on past experiences, that clock is now at 59 days 4 hours and 41 minutes...a very long time indeed but things should be different.
I'll keep you guys posted every Saturday on the progress o these clocks and if I receive any form of contact from my "ex" hopefully most around her can learn from us as we walk into the future, the rookies can follow our path and learn from our experiences and hopefully have much better success than us while we ride the wheel of trial and error.
