Q: How do I keep her? A: You Don't

Category: Personal diary

Some of you might remember my pen cushion from before where I asked how do I keep my girlfriend when she wants to date other guys.

Well I have the answer..... you don't.

9 days before we would celebrate 2 years together.... She admits to having been discussing her feelings for a good friend of mine with that very friend..... and he admitted similar feelings. Problem was..... both of them had a significant other..... Point is she basically broke up with me to try with him...... He didn't brake up with his girlfriend though..... So she ended up with no one....... She tried to have me back... but I decided we were better off separate.

I'm not writing this for sympathy. I just thought that I'd get my feelings out and answer the sort of open ended thing that was my last pen cushion.

Lastly I also posted this to explain what my next couple of poems are about...... and why they will likely be the way they are. (I promise they won't be sappy or generic thats for sure)

P.S. Sorry friendZdogZ for posting over your pen cushion so soon.... but this just happened to me and I needed to write it out.
I'll take it down after a day or two if you want. Just message me or leave a comment.

Well Mikey, that sux!
But you made the right choice. Trust is paramount in a relationship, without it you got nothing. In fact once that subject is reached,(seeing other people) it is essentially over. Unfortunately, we live in a Jerry Springer world and this is really par for the course. Especially when you are young. So go on, write, learn and live!

The man is right.
I say you have a little moment to think of all the good times (i'm sure there were some great moments, there always are) then you put on Eminem's Superman on your ipod (or whatever it is people have these days) and go looking for some of that apple pie you were hungry for!

Hahaha... Apple pie went sour and bad ages ago. Believe me... I have plenty of songs to listen to..... Not too into rap personally (although I do like Eminem)


The sad part is I think I'll eventually get back together with her. Its really horrible my soft spot for her.

If you still feel those feelings for her and you think she really does then its not always a bad thing.

I broke up with my current girlfriend ignored her two weeks straight after break up and four months later finally realized my mistake. I'm paying immensely now despite being together. She tells me she loves me during the day but at night she's always unsure and unconfident alongside already having had anxiety issues (the thing that drove me to the edge the first time) and the depression she has always haunts me on top of me feeling that same depression at night.

If you really feel the love for her never give up.

You are asking for torture if you take her back.
Do you really want to ride in that wrecked car that will be your relationship? Everytime you pass a newer car or a shinier car, will she want to test drive it?
Yes, this happens all the time. Yes, people forgive. Yes, they do it again.

She and your friend betrayed your trust. It is time to scrape your shoe and walk on the sidewalk. As tough as it may be, don't look back because what you had is not there anymore.

Be strong, be yourself, and the good relationship will find you.

I ended up breaking up with my girlfriend two days ago. She started having feelings for someone else weeks ago, and has been growing more concerned as time went by. Toward the end of our relationship, she was crying all the time, and acting very confused. It broke my heart to see her hurting so badly, so I was the one to make the break between us. She's upset about it, but looks at the option as she can move foward and see how she stands.
I'm now left to feel the pain of breaking something I never wanted to break in the first place.
So I started back to writing poetry again. Hopefully I'll be posting some here.
My comment is just saying I believe I can sympathize and I'm sorry for how things ended for you Sad face

Hiiiiii my friend, I am soooo sorry for you my friend...my heart goes out for you my friend...what I can say! What happened to you as a shock! I wasn't here in the last days so, I didn't replay on time...I thought that you and your girlfriend were togather and loving each other a lot as I see in the way that you write about her in your last poems and when you talk about her with me...how she can break this holy relationship!!! I am extremely upset about her...she doesn't deserve your pour honest love...you are not the loser but her is the one who lose you and I am sure she will be so sorry but never try to be with her again till you see that she is really deserves to be the one who win your heart and appreciate your love...The LOYALTY is more important than LOVE in the relationship...she must realize that she skate on thin ice when she left you to be with another guy soon!!! I am really can't understand how she can leave you to another guy if she really know what the honest real love means!!! Everyone who fall in love with someone must realize the holiness for this realationship... but what's bred in the bone will come out in the flesh! Mikey, try to give credit where credit is due to not allow anybody to hurt your heart again...I hope that you will be fine my friend...

When the despair embrace hope...
When the hope die by the dagger of pain...
When the innocency collapse in front of the army of sin...
When the sorrow win the war in the lover's heart...
Then, the tears give up and it go with the flood of tragedy...and it stop from weeping when the tragedy inter the lover's heart which live by love and loyalty...


Then, the weeping will be without tears...
Comment by nothingisimpossible: 2009-09-30
Mikey just be strong and never try to be with her again...I don't want her to hurt you anymore...I m sure that you will be fine without her because you didn't lose a loyal girlfriend...GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND...
