Hello everyone,
long story short:
I had a pretty hard time living away from my girlfriend for 2 and a half years, and during that time, I fell in love with another in the new city, then, a year later all hell broke loose, we broke up, and the other girl went with another man. From then on, 2 and a half years of inner sadness has passed.
The latter girl sends me occasional Happy Birthday messages, when I did not send her some before (I have cut all contact since she told me she is with another man). Today is my birthday, and I got a message stating "Happy birthday, and I hope you get brave enough to pursue whatever you want in life and go get it". This from my point of view is a complete bugger and an act of rudeness.
I am currently in a happy relationship with a new girl for about one year, but I have been thinking about this previous girl for 3 years now. And the message today got me crapped up, and it is my birthday.
How can one deal with this? It keeps going and going.
