. . . What was that supposed to be? I see Even has made a habit of liking musicians that mangle good songs with their "covers." For those interested in how this is supposed to be done:
I own the original on 78. But, this is supposed to be a Johnny Cash Appreciation thread. Thanks for the cultured off-topic spamming, though. It was very cultured.
Guys. Today is ****. It is raining and I am sad. I have been doing good these last couple days. But then today happened. And everything is crap. UGH.
Just go lay in bed and listen to country music and wallow in it until it passes, Austin. Seriously though, it'll happen from time to time. You just have to get through it, but we're here for you.
I heard that drugs help. In all seriousness, it'll pass. The most important thing is that you acknowledge it and deal with it. Just don't crawl in a hole and suffocate.
That's part of it, brother. Expect a lot of ****days in the coming weeks. Maybe longer. Just hang in there. Distract yourself with whatever it is that'll certainly won't get you down. Get out of the house. Hang with friends. Get your mind off crap that won't do you any good. And yeah, as hard as it may be, try not to think about her. That means no emails, texts or calls, drunken or otherwise.
So uh, does this count as being permanently dumped? Or is there a possibility that you two might end up back together once she's done with traveling or whatever?
Prenn expect a good 4-6 months of "OH GOD WHY", followed by 3ish months of "I think I'm ok....OH GOD WHY...wait no I think I'm ok...", followed by 6months - 2 years of "I'm happy! Everything is good tod- OH GOD WHY! Oh wait, everything is great now. Really. OH GOD WHY" But the good news is that that's normal and varies person to person. It's supposed to happen. Try to avoid alcohol though for a while.
Yeah, maybe her mom is the more mature version of your ex-finance. ... Okay, there was so much wrong with that suggestion, but it seemed to work out smoothly in the movie.
Well, I went on a date last night. Not like a revenge date or an "I want a new girlfriend" date. Just out with a girl on a Friday night. It was fun. Today was good too. I haven't had any moments in the last couple days where I've been super sad or anything. Which kind of makes me happy, and kind of makes me worried that I'm going to have an OH GOD WHY night soon. Or something.
Oh. Try not to go on dates. The OH GOD WHYs are going to hit harder when they do come. But I suppose also some people recover differently than others so maybe that will help you.
Eh? Seriously though, what's stopping him from getting back together with his (ex?) fiance in the future? It's probably painful as hell to think about at the moment, but the way I see it if she hasn't decided to marry someone else, it's not over.
I say yes, go on dates. Meeting new people is not a bad idea. Seeing that there are other actual possibilities in the world is a good thing. Besides the more new experiences you have with new people in the same or new places will help put the distance between you and your ex that you need to feel better. I would say no to jumping into any kind of of ongoing relationship right now. Lots of transitional dating, but be upfront that you are only interested in dating fun and 'new friends' right now.
