I know most of you will think i should be put in a menty ward but here goes i moved in with my first luv from high school we lived together for 8 yrs befour i found out that she was having an affair with you guessed it my so called best friend the way i found out about it was she took an overdose of sedatives and ended up in the hospital i thought it was because of me but when she was released and told me why she had done it i was so hurt and i could just ask her is it over she said no now i was really lost did not know what to do we decides to give it 6 months to see if we could fix it no go on my birthday she said she was moving out i was floored she was going back to him that lasted a month she knew she made the wrong choice thats when i should have walked away but i was still so much in love i would try anything big mistake she kept fooling around with other guys but kept calling me i was trapped and defense less i turned to drinking at age 28 just to keep those horrible feelings from coming back didnt work i finally found another great lady after at least a hundred affairs i thought this was love but i guess i didnt know what that really was anymore we had 2 children a great life but i would still hear from the original from time to time she got married and drank herself to death now there is no way for me to put a closing on this curse i hate myself for being so weak and not ending this 40 yrs ago well i guess its time to go back to the menty ward thanks for reading hope somebody gets something out of this blunder,if this happens to you run like hell and dont look back.
Ok, I have to take back the other thread's title status, THIS is the longest run-on sentence in C-D history.
So, from what I gather, this is a woman you lived with for 8 years, she was seeing your roommate/bestfriend on the side. You tried to take her back. Started drinking. She drank herself essentially to death.
The moral of the story was to run don't walk to the exit when you note cheating?
if you are still hurt over this, then I believe you fail to see anything positive. Can't you see how lucky you actually were....?
and for what? 40 years? We are all products of our choices....you apparently enjoy victimizing yourself....so, if I were you and you really do feel this way and are not a troll, then seek some counseling.
I am more concerned with your inability to use proper punctuation 40 years after high school than I am with your inability to find closure with this relationship. Perhaps closure -- be it emotional or grammatical -- is just something you struggle with? About your long lost love, I think your feelings are probably warranted. Everyone lingers on their first love (it's their first love after all), and it sounds like you were cursed (blessed) to have a first love in the mold of an Edna St. Vincent Millay or Zelda Fitzgerald. Fast women, you have to love them (or else they put a gun to your head or poison in your food).
OP I want you to literally take one step back...and slap yourself in the face. Ok now that you have your undivided attention...go do something. Anything. Get out and get some air. The cheating drunk is gone and will not be back. You may as well start living your life now.
