Hello All!
I was not sure if I should write, because I am not sure how well I can describe my situation. Even now while typing I am considering deleting it, as to make my situation clear I guess I should write a book of 300 pages. But I will try to keep it short (somehow).
I was always crying for love and acceptance. Some tiem ago, around one moth ago I realized why, of course my childhood has a lot to do with it and my relationship with uncle and aunt who have never been satisfied with me (at least they have been showing that) and compared me all the time to others – of course I was always the worse one. I had 3 serious relationships ( I mean longer) and numerous not serious. I could never admit I am not happy in a relationship – or rather I could but I did nothing about it. I was waiting for the guy to break up. Earlier I was changing guys all the time, one relationship after another. So no time to be alone, no time to be sad too long. After my second serious relationship, in which I felt bad I was not in love I was waiting and doing everything to make him leave me I got panicked. Because there were none new waiting for me. So I cried, panicked, yelled, begged and did everything to have him back. Of course he was sick of it, so I decided to prove I am ok. So I had again lots of guys lots of parties. How stupid it was. I do not regret I learned a lot. I changed, got stronger ( I thought so) and make serious decisions that I sticked to later with no exceptions. NO MORE LIES, PRETENDING and CHEATING.
I guess I recovered, I was ok. I really believed it but it wasn’t true. The only things that really changed was alcohol and cheating. I stopped it for good. But deep inside I felt lonely and not loved and still desperate for love. I went abroad to meet my friend. Then I met a guy I guess I felt in love with. Thousands of kilometers were not a problem then. I was sure that none can hurt me again, I was sure I will not got attached again but then one day after some our visits once here once there I decided to move to his country – to try. So I did which was not easy as the country he lives in is poor and the quality of life is much lower.
I loved his loveliness he cared about me so much, was understanding. But I was not happy. I was still pulled out or aggressive, I was not patient at all. I was still looking for the things I do not like. The country, less money, no friends, no family, no flowers, no pots, no bedding. Got extremely jealous, started to feel worse than everyone. I cried and told him thousands of words to hurt him. I believe I was extremely depressed.
I started to feel I deserve better, because I am a good person that had a bad past but changed so much and I felt I got nothing from him. Finally he said this is the end, that he is sick of my behavior.
During the relationship many times I believed I need someone else, but when he decided to leave me I panicked again. I stared to cry I went to a psychologist. I could not stop begging him for another chance. Explained that such a great difference between countries got me depressed and my past with my family also started to influence me. He said he understand but he cannot believe I can change.
So I started the process, as we were still leaving together. I started visits by the doctor, read thousand of books, realized thousand of things I saw the change in myself, he also. He started to hug me, occasionally to kiss me, to take me somewhere but still was telling me we cannot be together. I instead of healing myself was still hoping I will win him back. I was working on my problems with self acceptance and jealousy, but my heart could not be healed as he was there next to me giving me hope and at the same time destroying it.
He said he needed time, but I cannot be so patient as it hurts so much I asked him to moved out. He started to look for something but apparently it is not so easy to find a place. How can I recover from love as he is still there? I can be ok one week then I feel anger pain etc and start begging him for a chance or screaming that I do not wanna see him again.
I am super confused. Do I wanna be with him? He is a really good guy? Or maybe I just wanna be with him because I am afraid I will never meet anyone again who would love me the way I need it. Or maybe I just wanna be finally the one who decided that the relationship is not ok for me and to be the one who ends it up? Or maybe I really love him?
Such a mess in my head. Despite everything I am strong a lot but not in relationships, when it comes to love, guys I am like a small child who does not know what to do and what she wants…
Should I fight for him? Because I know I made a lot of mistakes because of my depression? Or maybe I should not as he did not notice how depressed I was and did not helped me?
One day I am sure I need someone else, but first I need a space for myself to calm down. The other day I feel I really want him back and prove that those 6 first months in a new country were terrible for me and this is why I changed and that in a reality I am different….
How can I cope with this mess? How to realize what to do?

I will share my thoughts here with you. Not sure if they will resonate with you today or not as you may be feeling quite overwhelmed. Perhaps you can come back to them in a week or so when things are calmer.
Love doesnt live alongside conflict. So if someone is creating a conflict in your head or life, you need to sit down and work out as to the cause for that conflict. Life is not a bed of roses but it is not a bed of thorns either. Whatever we give out, we receive in amplified quantities.
Simplify your life and show some compassion for self. You will find the answers to all your dilemmas and issues within yourself then. There is no one in this world who can get you out of your negative state of mind except for yourself.
Sending you heaps of positive energy and may you find the strength to love yourself.

April 1, 2014 at 12:21 am #53922LostabroadParticipantHe is also saying that he needs time, even maybe move out think everything over because he loves me and cares about me but he was crapped on by me for so long, he was so patinet for so long (6 months) and he needs to figure out if he can forgive me and start over. He is afraid that if I change it will be for a month or two. I know it is not true. I know my mistakes, I have always leaned on my mistakes and I always become a better person. I can really see how I evaluated over years. From the other side, should I accept that? Shouldn’t I expect that a real love is patient and forgiving? He was not perfect as well? I should forget and forgive a lot of stuff. I should also accept his disadvantages. Is it how it should be? Isn’t it all about?
Do I want him so badly only because he said this is the end? Or do I really love him? What is love? I guess I stopped believing in it and in relationships.
April 1, 2014 at 12:23 am #53923LostabroadParticipantDear JasmineJasnime,
Probably you are right, I am just too confused with whole my life now, and not resolved problems from he past and this is why I am in such a pain. I realised my problems PLUS lost my partner and I am just a mess.
Yes – I need time.
Thank you!

Healthy love is when two people choose to be together, emphasis on the word choose. They know that they can each live healthy independently, but choose to be together as it helps them and their partner grow. From your blog it sounds like you need to develop your own love for yourself. I was in a 13 year relationship and I thought I gave everything I had into it, I too suffered depression at a stage and they were tough times. In the end he walked out of my life because he could not make me happy. I was relying on him to make me happy, to fill me with love, respect and security. Yet you should never give your power to another, one it’s a strain on the other person and two you will always be disappointed. Take time out ALONE completely and learn to love and respect yourself, until you don’t do that you won’t be happy with another person truly. It’s a tough tough journey, I’m not going to lie to you and say it’s all rosy and by the end of it you will be shiny new. You will still have traits that you like and don’t like about yourself, but you will learn to love all aspects of yourself, so that you accept you just the way you are. Nothing is perfect, in the imperfect our beauty lies.I pray you find a path that leads you to bliss and happiness. In the greatest pain a new joy is being born.
Love, peace and blessings Aysha xx

You are completely right. I need to start loving myself because now I apparently don’t. You are right I want others to make me happy. Why can’t I make myself happy? It shouldn’t be this way. I will be working on it, don’t know how, but I believe that this amazing site and a help from psychologist will help me.
Thank you, your words made me realize important issue about me.
April 2, 2014 at 6:57 pm #54047HabitualLinecrosserParticipantThis blog doesn’t help my situation at all. But good post. A person has to be willing to give space in order to get it in return. No one is following you….some people happened to be purposefully everywhere! Under a rock and in a cave…they’re everywhere. Like lint! Confusion comes from lack of understanding, lack of communication and often being misunderstood. However; I believe this to be intentional. I felt this way about a “friend.” But then again, a true friend wouldn’t want you to be confused about anything. A friend wouldn’t hurt you or allow you to stay in a situation that is mentally unhealthy. Nor would they purposefully put you in it. A “true” friend is crystal clear as to where they stand in your life. Another thing, since when does having an opinion equate to drama. Now I truly understand why people are depressed. Being stuck in an endless maze of confusion, riddles just for entertainment will make anyone depressed. A therapist isn’t warranted in every situation. My situation is actually quite simple. CUT THE D*MN CAMERAS OFF! Anyway, sunny days are ahead. Soon it will all be over and my “friend” will not have to worry about being followed; disrespected or whatever else he thinks I’m intentionally doing. Live your life! See we all can be happy! Namaste!!!!!!!
Peace!
