Our inability to stand someone results from our lack of cultivation.

Having a wider heart and mind is more important than having a larger house.

Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little.

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

View all problems as challenges.
Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow.
Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence.
You have a problem? Great.
More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.
Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"

Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter.

I still am a bit but I have for now found a way to cope and its working for now, doesn't mean it will forever but I'm content for now at least xx
What are you doing to help you cope now?
Question Author
Well am still in contact with ex and am going round for a bbq end of week so this helps a lot. Don't know how long this will last but while I have this I am also trying to get a life for myself too - I have asked around for an evening job etc and want to find an evening class to do too.
Question Author
I also know I am not to blame for his actions and even though he can be horrible to me it is not really personal and it is his problem not mine.

Also just by not beating myself up for allowing him to treat bad helps. Domestic abuse (if thats what it was) happens to a wide variety of people ( I used to think it was just weak, stupid people) but it can happen to anyone even the most intelligent so that helps too.
Question Author
Just going with the flow really and not being hard on myself for he is the one with the problem and at the end of the day he's hurting himself more than he's hurting me - at least in the long run anyway cus I can move on - he can't unless he wakes up and changes his act.

An evening job and evening classes? Do you work all day too?
Question Author
Yes I work 9-5 mon - fri.

I just want one evening a week in a shop and one evening a week at a class/activity/club.
