I can't express how I feel right now. Early this month my friend and I ended our relationship that started aeons ago. Although I made efforts to salvage the relationship but it didn't work and we resolved to go our separate ways

For the past two weeks I have not been thinking straight. I do things and then I will ask myself did I just do/say this. Last week I made an error in one of my reporting and that would have landed me a grade 1 query. When by boss alerted me about the mistake, I tendered a resignation letter instead of getting a query but he refused to accept the letter and advised me to take a week leave. I guess it's obvious that I am out of shape.

My decisions are clouded I mean I can't think anything for sure. Even when am correct I doubt and my feeding habit is deteriorating.

I enjoy being alone but now I am beginning to feel lonely. I mean I use to stay for months without my ex and I don't feel it but now I don't know why.

And I discovered recently that I am acting weird like I am now "Vulnerable" I mean...ok let me explain....The lady prepares food for me is from an agency and last week she brought food and I was "staring" at her and she stared back at me too smiling. This is someone that I had not noticed for a year. I had to contact the agency that I will be travelling so they shouldn't expect my order till next month. And now I realise my account officer at the bank has dimples. I have been acting unlike me lately.

I have contacted a psychologist and he is saying these feelings are normal then I asked him if he had being in a long relationship that ended abruptly and he said No. Although we are still communicating but I want to hear from someone with experience.

Pls I need an advice from someone who have had similar experience. How did you cope? And I want to ask again are these feelings normal? What do I need to do to get back on my feet quickly because I don't want to resume work in this state?

I have visited new places like my psychologist advised although meeting people and initiating a conversation is hard but I am bending....is there anything else I can do?

I will appreciate ur advice



I read your previous post and being introvert, I can relate with your disposition as result of unstable mind. I destroyed my phone screen without realising I did until I started looking for the phone, I had a deep cut that required stitches and these were caused by an unstable mind cos a girl was involved.

I have to be frank with you, go back to that girl before it's late.

Bring her to the city and change her gradually. You are being influenced by what people will think of her or your status but remember one this: "if you have problem tomorrow, those same people won't care" the best you will get is "take heart", "it is well". "God will see you through"

No one will share in your problems.

That girl is REAL, not fake.

Since you want another polished lady, remember many have slept with different men, many cheats and so many things you might not be able to handle.

I know someone who married the woman who was there with him when he had nothing. She was supportive and she did send me money in those days.

Today they are married with a son.

It will be wrong and very wrong to dump this lady wherein she had sweated with you and now that it's time to enjoy with you, you decided to dump her.

You are practically telling her to change whom she IS and being as educated as you are, you should know it wrong and very wrong.

It's your choice bro, but I do know dumping her for the reasons you gave in your previous post is very WRONG.

You indirectly telling her she isn't good enough for you new standard but remember we are all humans, irrespective of our class in the society. You are looking down on her and to me that is discriminating.

I STAND WITH HER

Yours wasn't a failed relationship.

Yours was a choice.

You choose what was most important for you.

So live with it and move on. start noticing all the dimples,laughs,great dress sense,fake smiles,nice legs on pencil skirt, fake lashes,mary kay,bm pro, and co faces,well made up pouted lips but nothing beats a good heart,a caring soul,a die hard thick and thin woman.

Look out!!!!All that glitters ain't gold.

Jeeeezzzz....dude seems like you know just what is in my head....i mean exactly how I feel...but you didn't put up any prescription....?hello


Speechless3:
That's how you end up when you marry because Chidimma, Kemi and Umi are already married.

You rush in, you rush the hell out. Now whats the difference btw you and a mistress or babymama??

Also men would not stop being untrue to themselves. They get married to a "public" or people's kind of woman, all in a bid to show class. They turn a blind eye to all the beautiful decent and wifey materials around just because they dont fit in to our mainstream beauty. What happens to promoting women that have real class, real beauty, character as desirables?

Anyway swallow what karma has brought for you. Your reward for being silly.

I had to bring this here as it has some element of correlation with what you have

Marxxxx, please try and restore your relationship with the lady, I know this is the last thing u want to hear right now.

Everyone i know who had similar issues live to regret the decision one way or the other. It is always difficult to have it all, except you don't truly love her then there won't be any need to try rather do all you can to move on.

Not everyone has an opportunity at a 2nd chance, even though i don't regret where i am today and won't trade it for anything, i regret the decision i took when i was in a similar position as you years back, cos i was naive and assumed great spouses were easy to come by.

My advise to people i meet in similar situation is, life is more than material things, a spouse's deep xters matters and is very important over taste in the journey of life and what really matters in the long run shouldn't be trivialized in the heat or spur of the moment. You need to be resilient, how would you feel if another man can make her everything your were not able to. if you don't mind see this movie "why did i get married 1& 2, (emphasis on Mike, Sheila & Troy's xter) just to have an insight into the possibility of what can be.

Just imagine, would dressing, accent etc matter in the next 10years? of cos not what will matter will be fulfillment and realization of dreams & goals, good health, happiness, trust, solid foundation for ur children etc. You are not in any competition with anyone learn to love and appreciate what you have before it is too late.

Pay attention brother,that's how to get help.

Now,you say you guys are good with the break up,right?

Give yourself time.

I say time cos each time I loose a loved one,I give it time.

Time heals physical wounds,it sure heals emotional wounds.
Time is what you need.

Work on your attitude too...
You sound egocentric...I could be wrong and please correct me if I am.
no offence.
Thanks I am getting along pretty well. I am not egocentric. I may be Xenophobic. Although My Introverted nature makes me look unfriendly and I am a choleric (According to a psychologist). Nevertheless recently I discovered I can be funny and playful. Pray for my best friend Zara (parrot). It may die soon...
