Hooksexup Confessions: Letting Go and The Top 5 Movie Break Ups

Posted by spjv840

 

The confession of the day is: "I asked my therapist why you haven't been in touch. He said I should try doing more than hitting the refresh button on my e-mail."

That seems like a pretty snarky thing for a therapist to say. If my therapist said something like that to me, I'd be looking through the yellow pages for a new therapist. Although, if you're going to take advice from anyone, that's the person to take it from, I suppose - and he/she does have a point.

Hitting the refresh button is the equivalent of waiting by the phone for someone to call. Its sad, lonely and desperate and I've done it more than I'd care to admit. It's the modern day way to drive yourself crazy.

"If you hadn't knocked her up, I would have kept fighting for you."

Ah yes, nothing makes you let go quicker than finding out the man you love knocked some bimbo up. It's pretty much a guaranteed way to say bye without a lot of strings attached. You sure as hell don't want to be caught up in some sort of Montel type threesome with the baby daddy and momma - that just isn't cool, no matter where you live or what you do.

When it comes to letting go, I'm not particularly the best person for the subject. For a long time I had a hard time letting go. Why let go of something/someone I want? Bah, I'd say, I take what is mine and that's that. Of course, I learned the hard way that you can't force people to love you or want you and in the long run it just causes more pain and drama. I've "let go" twice and it hurt like hell. But now, thankfully, I learned my lesson - I don't cling on like I used to. I'm just along for the ride so that if shit happens, as it always does, there won't be anything to let go of.

Some recent confessions:

"i want to be with you again...in every possible way."

"I miss you so much I've been reading our old emails and chats. I need to stop!"

"I knew the only way to get over you was to fall for someone else. It took for-fucking-ever, but I've finally done it. I'm a little sad that I can't tell you."

"I miss talking to you, but other than that, I am relieved it is over."

And my vote for best confession of the week is definitely this one:

"i love the way your husband tweaks my nipples when he comes"

And now the Top 5 Movie Break Ups

4)The Break Up (I'm sorry, it was a good movie)

I think it depends on the relationship one has with one's therapist, and it also depends on how that line was delivered.  It could be snarky (and therapists should never snark), but it could also be said with a laugh designed to get the writer over him/herself and achieve better perspective.

ABOUT THE BLOG

DATE MACHINE explores the triumphs and tragedies of your dating confessions. Look here for commentary, dating advice, and our own salacious (or ridiculous) dating stories.

OUR BLOGGERS

FishnetsAndLight

Professional Dominatrix, lapsed English major and token black chick extraordinaire. I'm also a great big perv. Bend over.

Location:New York, New York
Looking for: Those who aren't too afraid.

Zeitgeisty

I'm an existentialist trapped in the body of a rational humanist. I've got a penchant for misanthropy and a flair for the obvious. I'm quick with a joke or a light up your smoke, but there's someplace that I'd rather be. I'm Zeitgeisty, pleased to meet me I'm sure.

Location: Somewhere on the isle of Manhattan...
Looking for: A shining good deed in a weary world...

Airheadgenius

I am a fish out of water - an opinionated cheeky smiling English chick in a land of larger than life Americans. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand asking if we're exclusive. I don't understand this weird practice of decapitating penises. Some days I am definitely MILF material. Other days I feel more like the material on the inside of yer grannys' handbag.

Location: Brooklyn
Looking for: A stunning socialist with a propensity to pick winning lottery numbers

amboabe

I'm a smart ass writer who'll argue your ear off, hold your hand close, and tell you the truth whenever. I'm a fool and a hero, a confessional soul, and lover of life in every conceivably absurd way that it can come. I also paint my toenails.

Location: San Francisco
Looking for: A sail, not an anchor.

spjv840

Slightly neurotic, over-analyzing girl..err, woman, with too much charm for the average person to handle. Has a fondness for red wine, cheap beer and a good time.

Location: The Igloo, Canada
Looking for: Nothing mediocre
