Please help--in anguish

[CrushedSO]

I agree with CrushedSO. You're putting yourself through unnecessary agony. Which is worse, being away from LO or reaching out and not getting the desired results? They both suck, but I think the latter is worse. When I'm feeling particularly distressed I lurk on these boards and/or post in my journal. It helps to know there are plenty of people who can empathize.

You don’t go from love to fiery hatred at the drop of a hat with someone you truly love.

I like this. It makes me realize what a joke limerence is when I find myself irritated by something so trivial as an LO making small talk with other people.

Looking back I was like that too. When my LO talked and joked with other guys at the work place I was a jealous, emotional mess. I would be really upset and after a while the games started. Completely immature and toxic.
