hello
 
when I am not busy playing at being a soldier, I do things that I know he would like to see me doing. I read, I take the time to pamper myself [:)] (shhh, that's a secret ), I work around the house. Anything that occupies my mind and time is looked at as beneficial.
 
Perhaps it is a bit easier for me because Master and i are often not together, so it's imperative that I keep myself busy.
 
I wish you well,
 
melissa

I was attached at the hip.  Not only was he my dominant, but he was my boss and best friend.  For 6 of the 7 yrs we were together I was his right hand, his business partner, and his most loyal defender. 
At the time it seemed to work.  But now that it is over I am lost.  He is still my partner but not my best friend, not my dominant, and he has moved on. 
Killer to the mental well-being, let me tell you.
I don't know if I will ever dive into another relationship at this point.  But I can tell you this, next time around, I am keeping part of me separate from him.
It really is hard to recover yourself when you don't.
Having given my all, and during other relationships, given only what I could, it is far safer to keep some of yourself for YOU.  Find things to occupy yourself so that you have a life to fall back on.  Friends to hang out with, or joy in other stuff that really makes life more interesting anyway.  With or without a partner in your life.

I've employed alot of tactics.  There is forcing yourself not to think of him.  One of the ways i found very helpful was going to the YMCA this summer.  i'd thow myself so hard into the aerobic classes that usually by the end of them i could barely walk. I'd be wiped for a day or two and then go back and do it again.  I went exploring in the woods around here.  i hung out with my younger neighbors and managed to get in loads of trouble.  i got back into school.  I went to Texas for awhile.. i made plans and goals for my future.. with out him. 

All in all, its a mindset.  i refused to feel like i felt.  I looked into me, i said "this f*ing sucks" and i refused to allow it to suck any longer.  On top of that i just slowly forced myself to stop caring.  I emotionally seperated myself from the situation and i probably emotionally seperated myself from myself. 

You know if you do something long enough, it can become a habit. 
If you lie to yourself long enough, it can become a truth

where there is a will, there has GOT to be a way.
