I'm sub-conciously sabotaging the best thing that ever happened to me. How do I stop?

    First of all, figure out what it is you want. If a magic fairy could wave her wand and make everything involving your man and your ex just the way you want it, what would that outcome be? Get that scenario firmly in your mind.

    Now erase the fairy. Keeping in mind that the only person you can control is yourself, what actions can you take that are most likely to make that scenario come true?

    Sometimes we can't have exactly what we want because other people do not cooperate with our plans. But you'll never get what you want if you're not sure what you want and keep making wild guesses at what actions might make you happy.

    Remember the golden rule: treat others as you want to be treated. And remember the platinum rule: treat others as THEY want to be treated.

    Thank you, I know what I want. I know what I need.

    I have deleted him from my facebook, phone and e-mail contacts.

    I feel good about the decision, its the right one.

    palmtree: It's my man. He's soo good to me and I know he truly loves me, and I keep screwing it up.
    What the hell is the matter with me????

    i am quite amazed at this thread.....palm i am in the same boat as you.......and maybe even more so if you hooked up with your new man on a hard rebound. as i did my gal......and i think it is so since your ex is hounding you.......

    but nobody has asked the big question......."are you truly in love with him ????".....and btw you have not said it yet either.....when someone treats you so special after a breakup......you so want to make it work.....it feels good......but at some point you have to ask yourself that big question....and ask it soon girl..........oompa

    good luck!!!.......but btw.....sometimes there is a real reason you sub-consciously sabotage something......and hey...i read cosmo...lol

    Oh, thank-you, Oompa.

    Yes, I asked myself that before we moved in together. But mostly I asked if I was truly in love with him, because I've known him as a freind for over 10 years. To make that leap, from freindship to love was a scary thing, mentally.

    The "ex" is not my first husband.....just a stupid fling when I was at the lowest point ever in my life. No relationship really. Not worth jeopardizing what I have now, which on every other level has been awesome.

    In spite of the chaos in my life right now, I feel safer and happier than I ever have before. And partly it's from reading what you ALL have to say on this board.

    Thanks everyone.
