Feeling frustrated

Hi All- I am new here and look forward to getting to know you from the boards. I ended a 5-year relationship due to losing trust and I am having a hard time understanding how someone can act as if the relationship never existed. I believe it is a defense mechanism for managing how one really feels, however, it does not take away the frustration I feel. It doesn't help that he is still living with me, so when he gets out permanently I believe it will be easier for me to move on. I am in no way looking for a replacement and feel that maybe that is why it seems hard for me.....I gave my heart to someone and tried to show them a love they never had experienced, to have it end, is hard, no matter who you are. Thanks for letting me rant and I hope everyone finds a source of comfort here...I know I will :)

hi,you did your best and there are no regrets, you will find somebody who gives you what u want,goodluck

Thanks Peace! It is hard when you are actively going through all the emotions associated with a break-up. Also good to hear and be reminded...again, thanks :)

Peace, time heals everything and we learn from past experiences, especially relationships. You're right, plenty of people just attempt to 'shut their failed relationship out of their minds' but these people always get burnt, it always comes back to bite them, sometimes years down the track, because they haven't dealt with it. They don't now how to and therefore they're afraid to...and they think they'll eventually find the way somewhere in the future. And they're always the ones who look back....always...while those who accept it, have dealt with it and are happily with someone else who is totally on their page.
