Sure, people give mixed signals. But if he’s telling you he loves you one day and disappearing for three weeks the next, you can be sure you two aren’t on the same page, no matter how he might feel “deep down.” I think we’ve all been there at least once. I know I have. It was painful, but at the end of the day, it was liberating to finally “let go” of someone who just didn’t seem to be on the same relationship page. There are myriad books dedicated to keeping a man interested, getting him to commit, and keeping your marriage spicy. But what about just letting go? That’s really what many of us need to learn how to do. And it’s probably one of most difficult things in the world. But also one of the most necessary. Here are 10 ways to do it — beyond distracting yourself with hobbies and pets and volunteer work. There is a difference between allowing yourself to feel bad and “wallowing.” Wallowing means you can’t shut up about your unrequited love. Every conversation turns to him. You overanalyze everything that went wrong. Accept that there is a certain amount — a lot actually — that you will never know. You simply can’t look into another person’s psyche. Force yourself not to talk constantly and write long emails about him to friends. You can actually ask them to simply not respond to you. You will eventually tire yourself out. But you don’t know what you are really seeing. He might post a picture of himself and his new honey looking ecstatic at a concert, but you didn’t see the huge argument they got into right before they left. As Ami Angelowicz writes in The Frisky: “Social media is like a funhouse. It warps everything, makes it giant or small or headless, unrecognizable, most notably, your sense of self and of reality. It takes your imagination on a wild tilt-a-whirl of imagined scenarios and possibilities. It’s a warped mirror, reflecting your worst fears and deepest insecurities.” In one relationship, I became addicted to checking up on the various women I knew the object of my affection had dated in the past. As the years went by, I gradually saw all of them get married and have children. While I had been eagle-eyeing them to see if they were keeping in touch with the man I wanted, the truth was, they didn’t want him. They had gotten on with their lives, while I hadn’t. I really wish I could have that time back! Focusing on the idea that if only you change, you can “win him over” somehow gives you a fleeting and false sense of control. Many things in this life are completely out of our control — including how other people feel about us. If you truly feel you are owed an apology, then ask for one. If it’s given, accept it and move on. If it’s not, then let it go. He’ll come to you with one when he’s ready. I’ve heard of people getting apologies years after the fact. Or maybe he will never be ready. He’s very possibly too ashamed or too narcissistic to admit what he did wrong. In some rare cases, obsession can be a symptom of a metal heath condition. For example, Samara O’Shea suffered from limerence, which is similar to obsessive compulsive disorder and makes a looping train of obsessive thoughts about an unrequited romance almost impossible to turn off. O’Shea ended up taking medication to take her out of that mental whirlwind. Talk with your doctor if you suspect you may have a similar condition. But realize that there is no “magic pill” for unrequited love. It will likely take time and a some hard emotional work on your part, but you can let go.
