Question - (28 August 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 17 September 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, *misse writes:

I'm getting divorced. The man I've been seeing for 3 years said he wanted to be with me, and I want to be with him, but then said we needed time and might date someone else.

2 months ago he said he wanted to be with me forever. 1 month ago he said we should not communicate for a year so we can both work out our lives. He is my best friend. It's been 3 weeks without contact.

How do I move on with me, without him?

Update: HE CALLED! He misses me and wants to be with me! The other girl was not what he wanted and he's been miserable without me. :)

I can hear the pain in your heart in your question "How do I move on without him?". I feel compelled to answer, though I really can't relate completely to your situation.

Here's my answer, for what it's worth:

You have no choice but to continue with your current life--get up, get showered, get dressed, go to work, etc. Remember his sweet love and promises--in a sentimental way--without dwelling on them or second guessing them. Don't push the issue with him.

Eventually, one of two things will happen:

1) You will realize, one day, that you are over him OR

2) He will realize, one day, that he's not over you

either way, you win.

TAKE CARE OF YOU.
