sometimes an old boyfriend can be just like a

crack addiction... or cigarettes, or being an alcoholic, or anything you can be addicted to.

i am not addicted to any of the above, but i have this old bf that i can say is like an old habit i can't get rid of. i have friends i contact when i am weak to help me out so that i won't contact the guy.

he is the only guy i have this oddball-freak addiction too, and i feel it's akin to giving up cigarettes or something, because every now and then i crave him.

but i am proud to say i have been completely old bf-free since November, 2004. today though...i had a craving...

anyone else have someone they can't get out of their system like that?

Remember, don't waste time on an old edsel when there is a corvette just waiting to come around the corner. You want to be free to drive the corvette and see what its like to drive a new and improved model.

why would you want to ruin a good fantacy by calling him? just enjoy the fond memory, dreams are allways better than reality.

Yeah, hang in there. GF and I broke up a couple of months ago and I still wanna call her up. I kinda figure time and senile dementia should take care of that eventually. If someone doesn't treat you right, there is no point in wasting your time with them. Just gets in the way of you meeting people who may be able to treat you right.

yes - I know the feeling - even as I was dating mcs328 it was hard to forget and stuff - finally there where it no longer effects me if the ex calls or says something to get under my skin - meeting the right guy helps ease the transition for sure tho.

I know what you are talking about. You must be love addicted like me. The worst part is that it's hard to pinpoint what it is about that person. The way I got rid of it was to keep displacing my love somewhere else. I dunno what else you can do. Also quit torturing yourself- that is, quit doing things that you know will make you think of him (ie. don't read his blog, take him off your buddylist/put him on ignore.). But if you see something that reminds you of him, don't send him an email or anything else that could open this can of worms again. That's probably the most important step. Listening to MP3s seemed to help alot. Let me know if you need suggestions.

i dunnoooo... sounded a little oedipal to me...

and more relevantly, am i the only one in this thread so far that's actually been the "old boyfriend" (or girlfriend, for that matter) that nickel's talking about? for about 3 years after we had broken up, one of my exes always came back a-callin when things got rough for her, which was doubly interesting because she was the dumper and i was the dumpee. what can i say; you just never know how good you had it until you don't have it any more.

I still think of my First GF from time to time, but who doesn't think of their first love. Hmmm I'll give you Jedi help.... Accept what you had with him, accept that it is over, accept that you crave him from time to time..... then let it go. Be strong and may the force be with you

Hopefully time will work... at least with me, alcohol doesn't work. I am one of those really introspective drunks and the last thing I wanna do is think about it.

psst... 5 cent, there really is someone else?

Ok I am so over you!

Anyways, I think the cure was and is and always will be.......................... The Hot Tub! That's right. I don't think you'd even be able to to remember your own name once that started going.
