Breakups And Movies

by Deneil Merritt on November 2, 2009

I recently ended my 3 year relationship. If you read the October income report or one of my facebook friends you already knew that. Doing so comes the normal pros and cons that will all face in times like this.

Pros: Single, I can look at anyone I want without a girlfriend getting mad at me. I can talk to whom ever I want without drama. Plus being single always give that added bonus. I can take it more than friends If I want.  :)

Cons: Single, yes its a con as well because we all want someone we can call out own. I miss my ex-girlfriend. I miss the way she talk, smile, laugh. I miss the look in her eyes when she say “I love you” I miss holding her until I fall asleep. I am still trying to get use to asleep alone. Many sleepless nights so far. Most of all the feeling of being alone.

What does all of this have to do with movies? Well I have notice something about breakups that make you notice things about movies love scenes and movies that are about war, family, or whatever. However, the bottomline of the movie is love. Maybe coming out of a long relationship. A person becomes more aware of love scenes and movies about love.

Because of this I will try my best to stay away from movies about love or related to it. Which means I can’t even watch one of my favorite movies. “Jumper

I know how you feel about breakups. For me, they SUCK! I will not be in another relationship for very long time. I would like to make a friend though. You know someone I can talk to, take a walk in the park or on the beach. Go to the movies and dinner. Who knows where it may lead.

After a breakup, movies really know how to make you feel lonely right?

Deneil I am so sorry. I have a feeling you won’t be alone for long, but for now the best people to hang out with are unhappily married people. :) The ones who almost start an argument right in front of you and make you SO glad your own house is full of peace and quiet! Take care -

Deneil, it has been awhile since I dropped a comment here but I guess it’s time for us, as blogger friends here to encourage you. It’s not a happy news, you’re right, we all know the feeling of losing someone. Therefore, start a new chapter with new hope. Movies, yeah, maybe a better pick will be much help in this case. Motivational type may be great too.

Wish you best in life! And surely, you will be.

Hey Deneil, sorry to hear that, but I’m glad that you’re taking it pretty well. You should have my email due to me leaving this comment, so hit me up if you need someone to talk to. I mean that!

One thing about relationships are that we have been brainwashed by movies and various customs that we have to be in a relationship in order to be complete. However, many people use relationships to compensate for the fact that they don’t truly love themselves. The catch is that you must truly love yourself before you can truly love someone else.

Now, I’m not of the opinion that you should purposely stay single. Not at all! Have fun, meet people, and enjoy single life without rules once again. However, don’t let yourself be on the rebound. Before you enter another relationship, ask yourself if it is truly what you want and need.

I completely agree with you Trey. It will be awhile before I think about a new relationship. I’ll make a friend but not a relationship. No time soon will that happen.

Deneil, it’s always hard to leave and forget the love you had. When I got divorced, everything I saw or heard reminded me of her. It’s been over 3 years now and it does get better.

Good luck my friend and I hope all turns out good for you :)

George I know what you mean. It’s like every little thing brings back memories. Glad to hear things are getting better with you.

Thanks, things are already starting to turn out good. :)

Deneil, I’m sorry to hear about the break up my friend. I reckon we have all been through this more than once, and although it’s not a pleasant experience it is part of life.

Don’t let it get you down too much mate.

As for the movies, get stuck into so action or comedy type. Anything to get your mind on a different track.

Reply

Deneil Merritt November 22, 2009 at 1:53 am

You are so right Sire. action and comedy is always good. I watched one movie the other day when I was taking a break from watching poker training videos. It was a comedy/action film that turned out to be a love story. Funny thing is I wasn’t focus on that. I was too busy laughing. :)

You are a trip Gary. You sound like the friend that always talk a person into doing the wrong thing. lol another right now would not help but make things worst.

Gary A. Parenti November 25, 2009 at 7:20 am

Hellooooo Deneil,

Maybe your right or maybe your wrong.
Maybe it’ because I am 56 and I see no
need to dwell on the past when it comes
to women. But I do have experience in
this matter. I felt better when I got a new
girl. It made me completely forget about
the other one.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be a
little hurt, I am just saying , move on ,
there are Millions of girls out there
that need someone . So get over it
and have a great life. Gotta go
almost 4:20 .!!!?

Later Deneil,
Gary,

If a man can forget about their ex just by getting a new girlfriend. He didn’t love his ex in the first place. I could never forget my ex. She played a big roll in my life for 3 years.

Hi Deneil,
Haven’t seen much of you lately on the blogosphere. I’m sorry about your breakup. I remember the pain and you’re in my thoughts. Looks like there are a lot of people here supporting you :-) I hope things are going better for you.

Kristin, I been around just not blog commenting much. I have been blogging though. On my poker blog, this one kind of took the backseat this month and last month. Yeah, all of you are very supportive and I thank you for that. :)

I’m sure I’ll be on your blog sooner or later. I got to get some more recipes from you. :)

lol well of course you got the email again. You most likely subscribed to the replies. :) You right there are tons of girls out there. Doesn’t mean hooking up with one of them is going to help.

Hellooooooooooo,

I bet you $10.00 I’m RIGHT.

Gary,

Deneil Merritt November 25, 2009 at 7:42 am

lol, you would lose that $10 if we bet on this. You assuming that sex has anything to do with emotion. I am emotionally attached to my ex. If I had sex with another chick it was be just that sex. No emotion. So no it would not help at all. Just some hours of bliss. Which I could use that time to better my life by moving forward on making my business more profitable.

Hey Deneil, I haven’t been around in awhile and then to hear your news I was sorry that I hadn’t been around sooner. Not that there was anything I could have done for you, except let you know you have friends. Even though we are blogging friends I think you know we are there for ya. I agree with one of your readers that you have to love yourself in order to truly love again. Don’t feel that you have to jump into another relationship (like one of your other readers advice) in order to make yourself feel better, that will NOT work for you…I promise. Take this time in your life look at it as a little bump in the road of life and learn more about yourself, what you really want in life, to own a home to work on yourself to help others that may need help, to further your education, or to become that entrepreneur that you are on your way to being. As far as going to see movies, maybe read more or do whatever else you enjoy doing. You are a strong one so I have no doubt that you will jump back from this stronger and smarter than ever. Hey have a Happy Thanksgiving be thankful that you had the relationship that you had and learn from it!!! Don’t eat too much. lol your blogging buddy jj

Deneil Merritt November 22, 2009 at 2:09 am

JJ its never too late to support a friend. You are so right. This does give me time and room to work on myself. I think I finally know exactly what I want to do with my life. Being an entrepreneur is one them of course however my true love is poker. I want to be a pro poker player. I been focusing on doing so these past 2 months. :)

Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I am thankful for the things that I learn from the relationship. You live, you learn, you know? lol I won’t eat too much. They won’t have my favorite food. Which is Italian! :)
