Can't move on!

Serious advice sought, how do you get over having your heart ripped out by someone you met on here! 18 months we were together! He went off with someone else on here! I realise this is not the place to go looking for a loving relationship, but I wasn't looking for that when we met! It just developed! He and her both have there own profiles on here and a couples profile! I know he doesn't deserve my love or my pain and tears, but you can't help who you fall for? How do I move on?

By understanding that he doesn't feel for youlikethat anymore and it's best you focus your energy elsewhere rather than hating him.

Things move quickly but 18 months is a long time to be trying to get over someone.

Firstly block them so you can't see what they are up to and won't be tempted to keep looking.

Secondly take some time out to get your head sorted. No point rushing into sex Sith strangers if your head isn't straight.

The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else...

Life is hard and yes you canny help who you fall in love with but in time you will look back and think who??? for some people they move on quicker than others, know its no consolation but go have fun...

Are you a single woman ( as in not married) ??? Its not wise on here to assume .....

I know a married woman on here who fell for the man she was seeing - in the end she ended up doing exactly what the advice is up there. Block all the profiles and take time out - come back when refreshed

best thing to do is remember this is a swinging site and not dateline etc

yes it hurts, but you are not unique, show yourself to be strong and however much it hurts, "stand up straight, head up" and move on x

Two strategies here.

Either go out and be a FAB social butterfly and allow the support of others on here to dilute the memory.

Hide your profile and take a break from things on here and come back when you feel more equipped.

Things will get better x

My kids ask about him too! My son espcially misses him! You have to hide your feelings in front of your kids and be strong! I have tried to have fun, but nothing feels the same! Its been 2 and half months now! My anger has subsided now, but yeah still love him! Thanks kind of helps knowing someone else has been there xx

I was seeing someone quite regularly on here and for nowhere near as long as you (only a few months), but such a nice guy, I did get feelings for him. It could have gone further as we were talking about couples profile together, but I was the one who messed it up because of my feelings. It was too soon for him. He has just come back online this week after moving back to his house, I left him a message a couple of weeks ago, our last meeting together was a good 8 weeks ago. He hasnt read it, not sure if he will, I tried the staying away and not looking at his profile, I couldnt bring myself to block him in case he wanted to message me, so I do understand how you feel even though ours was a short time together. Im still holding out hope he will read my message and get in touch. But like they say, try and move on, is rough on you he has started a couple profile with someone else. Hug to you

There is no easy fail proof solution other than to keep a reality check on what this site is and to be strong yourself to ensure you're not forming too close a bond.

Men on here are after sex. There are a lot of them. There are more opportunities for couples.

A man might like the look of someone and decide to stick with her to ensure regular sex. They might start going to clubs together or have a couples profile which will accumulate more interest and possibilities. For a time things will be great.

But having a swinging partner may also hold a man back. Maybe he wants to play with others that she is not keen on. Maybe she won't take on more guys than he wants her to if he gets a kick out of that. Whilst the swinging opportunities are there, he has invisible strings holding him to his swinging partner and he has to consider her needs.

Thisay lead to a frustration and he will go looking alone again. He may have built up a network of contacts so perhaps opportunities will present themselves to him singly. Or on looking at the countless female profiles here he may find one that wishes to go along to a club or party. The original lady will be forgotten in his quest for additional sexual conquests with a new lady.

Keep this as a mindset and don't allow yourself to get too involved. Don't see the same guy regularly. Don't let him use you to widen his swinging network. Think of yourself and only yourself. If you have a great night with someone then enjoy the memory and move onto the next great night with a new guy.

It's easy to stick with the same guy to enjoy experiences but if you do this then don't be fooled into thinking that men want the same, given half the chance of a night with a new woman they will go.

Keep this very cynical view to keep yourself strong and prevent letting your head fill with romantic notions

I don't know. I wish I did because I could resolve my pain too. Very similar to yours but not on this site, a similar one. If you find the answer please be sure and tell me. I'm trying hard to immerse myself in my work (and not visit that site) to see if that helps. When I concentrate it does but every so often, several times a day, I'm back in the same trough of depression. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

You know what..

This not a dating site.

At the same time its not an auto-pass shag fest either.

But what I will say is this ....

having seen numerous threads this last week of seemingly nice ladies being fucked around and I was gonna say this the other day when another lady was hurt:

People are honest with others about others..but pretty damn impossibly honest with themselves about themselves.

In my opinion if you go looking for a relationship (other than friendship) on a site like this...your gonna get hurt at some point.

Sounds corny but time is the only thing that'll do it. I fell completely in love with a guy Id been seeing about a year and even though he felt the same it couldn't have moved to a relationship so it ended. I was heartbroken I'll admit and fell apart completely as ending something when you both admit you love each other other is way harder than any relationship I've ended before!!

Six months down the line after blocking him completely for my own sanity I look back now and it doesn't so much hurt anymore. I still love him and a little bit of me always will but I I'm just happy for the time we had together now!!

I can relate to this.... I fell for a guy I first met at a club. We quickly fell into a pattern of meeting regularly outside the scene and I fell head over heels for him. Not good, as I already have a partner at home. It nearly wrecked my relationship but when you're in it, you don't see that it's doing any harm, until someone pulls you up and makes you look at what you're doing. We stopped seeing eachother and now only swap texts occasionally. I do still wonder though...what if

Now you need to look after yourself ......... Your family need you to be there for them .... its a hard when you feel your hearts been ripped out and you feel like thay are camping in your head 24/7 and every sad love song is how you feel........... so I wish you to do this ... Write 'never to be sent letters' to get things of your chest ........ put it all down on paper ...... after burn it ... you can read it two or 3 times before . Start to do thing you like doing ...... Go out of the house everyday and get moving as staying in feeling sorry going over things in your head again and again is not good and will drive you nuts Don't go a lisen to loads of sad love songs.......... Make sure you get a good nights sleep .......... don't drink a lot as that can make you feel bad getting off your head on wine ........ spoil yourself make nice meals ..... take long bubble baths ... go out with family and friends .... Just take time for you and put you first so you can get strong and look after family and you x And you will have bad days when its feels hard to face the world its normal your hurt and it all takes time . xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for your advice but I was just trying to help the lady poster. Im not in a unhappy marriage just a sexless one. If he had wanted just sex our first meet wouldnt have been just coffee. Hes a decent guy who knows how to treat a lady and if he does get in touch again then I will consider myself lucky as I am still on his friends list, he may get in touch but if he doesnt I will and am learning to live with it. Until you experience this sort of feeling, unless you have, you dont know what its like. Sorry just being honest, like the rest of them

Try to remember that this is a swinging site, so its for people to meet people for sex. If the sex transforms to love, thats a real complication ... because both parties were on here for sex. Its a brutal honesty, and a terrific shame when one falls deeply for another, and that isn't reciprocated. Best advice is to leave the site, until you are over him. Then, if swinging is still your thing, re-join. And have fun, again. Hope it works out ok for you.

To be honest and with respect, I wouldn't be on here at all, not for a long while anyway. All the old cliches about time heals are true-eventually-just don't fall into the "washing dirty laundry in public"routine.....its not clever and definitely not pretty.

Mostly though, I wish you luck...a broken heart is never good, but keeping an eye on what he is doing is kinda creepy, so don't do it- you are only making you're pain worse.

I shall assume for the purpose of this thread that when the two of you met, you were both fully single ?

If either of you weren't then I guess the phrase you reap what you sew comes into play.

So again, assuming you were both single at the start :

In terms of getting over it / him, find yourself diversions away from Fab, take solace in friends and family and spend your additional time with your kids doing stuff you all enjoy.

Go out with your friends, build a life for yourself.

What's done is done, he made his choices and you are in pain as a result - the choices bit won't change and only you can change the pain profile.

So get on with it, get used to a life without him in it and stop being concerned with what he / they are up to.

It is none of your business and will only serve to hurt you more.

So yeah you have a few hard weeks and months ahead, but what you face is not insurmountable nor impossible.

Spot on Bussy!!

I've personally never understood why people would consider introducing their children to someone they met on here? Even if there was the prospect of a relationship developing - I'm surprised many are not more wary of the potential for things to ho pear shaped and to have negative effects on kids? Most friends of mine (vanilla) with kids wouldn't dream of introducing a potential partner until the relationship was at the point where there was talk of cohabiting - or at least when someone was looking to stay over with a lot more frequency than someone met on t'internet - particularly a swingers site!

But then not having kids - what do I know!

" having fun and being appreciate and desired by other men on here really is the best medicine.

it is a personal thing

it may work for you, possibly not for others

being desired is nice, but not being desired by the one you REALLY want can be totally devastating

having someones hands and mouth on you is (generally) nice, but if they are not the hands and the mouth of the one you REALLY want, it can be just downright awful, however adept they are at it

lying with someone is nice, but if they are not the one you REALLY want to lie with, it can just be awkward and uncomfortable and just as lonely as being in an empty bed

that is why, for some, taking a break is by far the better option

only the OP will know what will work for her long term

So again, assuming you were both single at the start :

In terms of getting over it / him, find yourself diversions away from Fab, take solace in friends and family and spend your additional time with your kids doing stuff you all enjoy.

Go out with your friends, build a life for yourself.

What's done is done, he made his choices and you are in pain as a result - the choices bit won't change and only you can change the pain profile.

So get on with it, get used to a life without him in it and stop being concerned with what he / they are up to.

It is none of your business and will only serve to hurt you more.

So yeah you have a few hard weeks and months ahead, but what you face is not insurmountable nor impossible.

Spot on Bussy!!

But then not having kids - what do I know!"

I met my ex on a site like this and we were together for 5 years....not introducing his kids was going to be difficult since we lived together and the kids even came to live with us permanently..

Not all relationships that start on a site like this are only short term.

The fact he was a controlling psycho was nothing to do with how we met lol..

Haha hahaha haha... There should be a unwritten rule in swinging.. If you hook up with a woman more than 4-5 times and they're gonna fall in love with you!!!

While I feel for the op I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to air this

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

When you feel indifferent about him and what he and she are getting up to you will have moved on.

Try not to wallow in it. I know that is difficult but more time you spend on it the longer it will take to heal.

Lots of really good advice from others on here too.

I hang onto "players only love you when they're playing" - it serves me well if I begin to feel someone is getting to feel a bit too special.

Good luck, whatever you decide to do.

" having fun and being appreciate and desired by other men on here really is the best medicine.

it is a personal thing

it may work for you, possibly not for others

being desired is nice, but not being desired by the one you REALLY want can be totally devastating

having someones hands and mouth on you is (generally) nice, but if they are not the hands and the mouth of the one you REALLY want, it can be just downright awful, however adept they are at it

lying with someone is nice, but if they are not the one you REALLY want to lie with, it can just be awkward and uncomfortable and just as lonely as being in an empty bed

that is why, for some, taking a break is by far the better option

only the OP will know what will work for her long term"

this is so true for me.. I was meeting people but after it made me miss my ex even more.

O o O oo

I am guessing the people being discussed would feel very uncomfortable with this thread and for that reason I am closing it

You and others have had some great advice though.
