So, I got dumped. *sigh*

[kimi]

Long story short - he was in it for "friends with benefits" (what are we, 19 year olds? - no, in our 40's. Sheesh.) I made the mistake of thinking that there was more going on than there really was, apparently, and he got miffed that I would think so. His major complaint now - I made HIM feel bad. The poor lil thang. (Sorry, I'm feeling a bit bitchy tonight. Don't mean to be flippant, cause the whole situation has really hurt, but I'm trying to get over it.)

So, my question is -- how do people deal with being "dumped"? I honestly have no clue. :shrug:

I know the usual advice - get out, get involved with others, physical exercise. It's just that late at night, I find myself wondering what the hell I did wrong, that this person I cared so much about could just turn his back on me. I know there was another woman involved, but she is his ex from, oh, 7 years ago, and he's carried a torch for her for all this time but I never knew. I just think it's so unfair, that a guy would let me think that there's a chance for a relationship, and then - bang! Game over.

I'm trying to move on, really. I know in my head that it's over -- now how do I convince my heart to accept that? I have no f&*king clue. Any advice is welcome. I have friends IRL but their opinions would be strongly biased, so I'm just trying to figure it out.

TIA.
