Dear LIB readers: How do you cope with rejection?

I dated this guy for two and a half years and things were going well until October this year when he suddenly started acting up and deleted me from his Facebook page and his BB. When I asked him why he did so he said that his Facebook page was compromised and his BB was stolen. I found out later they were all lies. I got angry with him and stopped picking his calls because I was confused about his behaviour. After a while I didn't hear from him again only for me to hear that his wedding is this Saturday (that would be today).

I'm so angry and confused and want to know how to cope with rejection. How do you get back your self esteem as a woman? And how do you ever trust a man again? How do you start all over again?

That's life for you....shit happens...I'm going through the same rejection phase right now cos the love of my life is doing that same matrimonial BS with som other fellow...sad stuff. Cruel. Life. :(

Linda post my comment..Ladies the truth is you can actually read the handwriting on the wall earlier but atimes we want to patch up and know if we can still fix it. Men are dubious in character. While in a relationship pray to and also make sure you get to hear your guys opinion about you.

joke said...

First off. I think the man deserves 3 bullets in the bu*t but girl you really have to get your fine self back up. See it this way, he's married to a different woman, prolly because he loves her more. I'm certain a failed relationship is waaaay better than a failed marriage. You'd prolly be in for a rude awakening if you married him. Just move on, easier said than done- I know- but you have to, there are a bazillion guys out there who'll die to have you as wife and they are better. He knew he wasn't treating you right and couldn't muster up the courage to tell you what his intentions were, he never deserved you, it just took him 2 and a half years to realise that. You'd look back at this years from now and wonder why you wasted your emotions on this guy, no jokes. In the meantime, enjoy true friendship, you get to date people from the circle of your friends so just make and keep good friends for now, those are the people who'd let you see how important you are. Best wishes.

Its painful yea, but babes, relax, wipe those tears and stand tall. he was'nt meant for you.
am sure pretty soon you will find the one who will ruin your lipstick (passionate kisses) and not your mascara (broken heart tears).

My dear it hurts in love,and its even worst when u love sincerely. Men cheats,women cheats and d result is one party left with heartbreak and fear of falling in love again.
But at a time like dis,ur only solace should be,a broken relationship is beta than a broken marriage. He/she is not worth depriving ur happiness. Have it at d back of ur mind u can always do better.

Nothing like a good cry. If u loved him the heartbreak is worth shedding a tear or so. Plz grieve no more than a week or two. Write him a letter, complain to friends or basically everything u can do to fully experience ur moment. U will look back some years snd thank this person. It's better to lose someone who didn't love u anyway. Pray and stay blessed!

Unknown said...

Just leave him alone, you are never rejected someone better will come your way, but I always tell myself this "you don't treat people like tramp and walk away,karma will definitely serve you what you deserve. Chill okay.

You are hurt. Get over it and see this as a blessing. It wasn't meant to be. Thank God you were just dating and not married.

Bee Dazzler said...

I would advice, that you first and foremost make up your mind to deal with it.it starts with you, are you ready to let go and move on.you will feel bad, i get it but i don't see any good that comes out from it already he is getting married to day.

you have made a good start by coming to Linda's Blog to talk to her fans, the next it for you to keep a distance with him, don't call to ask why?

focus on redefining yourself, do the things that you love doing, it will save you from thinking about him and you can achieve a success from that which will raise your Ego.

wallowing yourself thinking of him is like a death mission accomplished, so avoid that. don't allow this rejection to flow through your system and break all your defenses.

Pray to God, he is the best solution. try this and see, once you knee down and talk to God as if you were talking to Linda, or a friend. you get up feeling relieve and alive to move on into another relationship with better success , joy, and God's guidance.

Try not to see this as rejection rather take it that you were saved from some future embarrassment. Try to concentrate your mind on things that make you happy, hang out more with friends, pray some and before you know it a good man will sweep you off your feet with the right broom.

This story is truly devastating. But what you must remember is that not all men are the same. You'll be stronger from this experience. Forgive him, not becos he deserves it but because it's good for your own soul and MOVE ON. Love will find you again but only if you keep your heart open. Lil lin, abegs, post my comment!

Na today...a lot of women have been there done that. Better he did it now than marrying a coward. After 1 year and he doesn't put a ring on it, fly. For now, don't do crazy things like stalk him, call and think too much. Tear all the pictures you have of you two and burn it all. Accept you were just his booty call for 2 years and assure yourself never to make that mistake again. Concentrate on yourself, health, mind, education, God and make yourself stronger with self esteem. Easier said that done but the old cliche works......he ain't worth it.

Wow I'm so sorry to hear this. This must be a very tough situation for anybody to go through. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to deal with matters of the heart. Somehow you need to pull it together and be the strong woman that God made you to be. If you have the support of friends, family, and loved ones it is crucial that you lean on them for support. If you believe in God, ask for his guidance and strength through all this. I'm sure it's not easy. How could it be easy? But just keep your calm and take it one day at a time. You must feel like your world is shattered into microscopic pieces by now but TIME does really heal all wounds.
Wish you all the best!

Anonymous said...

I can understand how u feel my dear. I had an experience that is worst than urs... Kindly go on ur knees to God! Ask Him to restore ur joy, give u peace. Above all, find it in ur heart to "forgive". Yea its hard but tryna forgive. Forgiveness is the major. It releases ur burden. Revamp ur looks, dust urslf and keep moving. For sure friends will take u to the pub, say all shit...ignore!! Do not give room for the devil to mock u rather mock the devil. It is well with u. Warm hugs

Men are cowards! Things like this make me paranoid. I haven't had a real relationship in a longtime now cos am scared of wasting time like this. Am almost ready though.

So unfair.

Take some time off and concerntrate on other things you like that'll make you happy. Most of all concerntrate on loving yourself, that will help you heal.

neme said...

hmmm How didn't you know he was getting married that soon when you were in a relationship for 2 years ? or was it a long distance relationship? well I am sorry but sweetie, life goes on. just let karma play its parts. I know its hard because I just broke up with my bf 2 days ago and its been hell for me. BUT LIFE MUST GO ON! Yes,you are allowed to cry and have your carbs but do not stay in your funk for too long. Take up a new hobby,catch up with friends and focus on YOU.When you are all bubbly again some hot stud will be waiting by the corner.

When i had a break- up with my so-called fiance after dumping me for another lady, i felt so disappointed, deceived, humiliated, disdained and my self esteemed dropped. I blamed myself for everything that or didn't happen in our relationship. I felt like I didn't act right enough to be his wife. I was so frustrated and buttered towards him and myself. I went to d porter's (God) on my knees and he put a new song in my mouth. Whenever I sing this song, i feel so relieved and happy. Now here's d song" yes, Jesus loves me, oh yes, Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me, for d bible tells me so" . If anyone tells u it's going to be easy to jst let go, its a lie. But as d day keeps going and u keep singing this song, u will learn to forgive him n as soon as u do, u will find so much peace in ur heart and u will experience d blessing that comes with forgiveness. I took my time to write this cuz I feel its my duty to help someone who is going thru what i went thru. That's why God let's us go thru some situations. U will find love again like I did. And right nw am happily married to a man who honours me. Wish u all d best. Peace!!!

Unknown said...

That's bad my dear....I feel your pain.....People like him gives LOVE a bad name...LOVE is a beautiful thing...Pick your self up beautiful and move on. It hurts but what can u do?it takes time to heal such broken heart but what is yours is yours....So dear,chill your man is going to come And dnt ever feel rejected cos you re unique...

ummm.... either you are not telling the full gist or you were blind during your relationship. was it even one? facebook and bbm relationship i guess. the relationship was never leading anywhere you just didn't see it.

Happiness is an inside job and it starts with the heart. Keep moving forward. God removes a pawn and places a King next to a Queen. Someone far better is coming your way, be positive. When next you see him don't let him look at you in pity but keep him lamenting. My dear, you are better than all these. Think "CONFIDENCE"

Anonymous said...

Its easy my dear, turn to God and as they say time heals all wounds so give time the chance to work on you and while you do that work on yourself and make you a better person so you can be a near perfect companion for the right guy for who is still out there. Get busy dear doing something productive and PRAY! All the best.

Its not the end of the world. I know its not going to be easy to just dust off and continue with your life but my dear you've got to try. Try very much not to wallow in self pity, he's not the man for you, its possible that God has saved you from a union that would have drained life completely from you. So just take this as an opportunity to start again, love your self like never before, get something doing and try to focus on something that we benefit people, also whenever you see him try to look as happy and as beautiful as you can, never let him see that you still affected by the hurt and pain, but instead let him see that you're even happier than when you too were together.

that's a big problem with you ladies.
you dated the guy or You THOUGHT (in you mind alone) that you guys are dating. He got tired of your frivolous attitudes and decided time will solve your issues, now that he got serious with his life, you are here complaining and talking as if he's one big monster.
He figured out his life, wish him luck and try get your life in order
you think he'll be your last resort when you are done fucking "talk of the town"boys, but maám, you got it wrong. so, it is either two things, starting doing positive things with your life or keep up the status quo.

That's the system of break-up called "Ghosting." Anything concerning social networking is severed between the two of you.

Just tell yourself that it gets better instead of brooding. Don't feel sorry for yourself, it happens.

i'd say good riddance to bad rubbish. spend sometime with yourself and love on you. do stuff you like and take sometime to listen to you.

if you feel like crying, cry. that's okay. it hurts because it mattered.

because some guy left you doesn't mean you're not amazing, loved and beautifully made.He obviously didn't deserve you.

Time heals all wounds. you will be fine. you'll look back at this and be glad you didn't end up with such a douche bag. also, forgive him. it is essential to your happiness.

God bless. ill be praying for you xx

Unknown said...

Well, it's a sad story, and no one can understand how you feel right about now...Learning to cope with heartbreak after a breakup or divorce is hard, but it's essential if you're going to move on with your life.
Eventually your heartache will lift and you will become yourself once again. Depression, loneliness and hopelessness will slowly fade away and you will start to move on without that person. You may still experience any one of the previous stages and may still get bad days but they should become less and less frequent. You know everything is going to be okay and you want to live for yourself again.

1-Accept that the relationship's over. You may need specific strategies for coping with this truth, but the sooner you commit yourself to accepting it, the sooner you'll get over the heartbreak.

2-Clean your apartment or house of anything that reminds you of your ex. Even if the breakup was mutual and respectful, you'll have a hard time moving on if you're constantly reminded of how things were.

3-Avoid seeing your ex in person, if at all possible. In many cases, cutting contact with your ex is the best way to reestablish your independence and terminate your negative emotions.

4-Think as positively and optimistically as you can. It may seem impossible, but focus on the bright spots in your future and remind yourself that you've lived alone before and can do it again.

5-View the breakup as a chance to make positive changes in your life. Rely on the strength you gain from dealing with the heartbreak to achieve future successes in your life.

I hope these helps....Take Care.

My gf recently broke up with me a month ago and reading ur post makes me feel slightly less unhappy about my own situation. There's not much I can add that has not already been said. Don't be easily deceived next time.

Pls do not judge me wrongly after reading these. My family are having serious problem since 500 year now. Which leads to my dad abandoning his family. With 8 children he don't care how we feed, pay house rent and school fees. Lots of people tired stepping in but my dad make them enemies. I have to struggle wit lots of work to provide for my younger ones schools, feeding and house rent. In all of these thinking that it will end one day but it got was. I became feed up and upset when am at home. Looking for away out I got myself pregnant for the man I so much love and he love me too, he accept his responsibility and he and his people locate my dad and ask for my hand in marriage but my father turn them down. Now I have put to bed and he still refused to bless us. What do I do pls.

wit girls out there and even has 2 of them he's very very serious with judging by the tone of their bbm's.... I'm staying in the marriage for the sake of my kids and praying/hoping he changes for good and doesnt infect me with any disease, cos now i understand why he comes home drained and unable to go more than once whenever we have sex!!!! Marriage is a serious school where one learns everyday and it requires a whole lotta patience if not am sure i would ve stabbed him one day* lol.

Why lose sleep over him??? The guy is obviously a coward and you yourself need to stop moping about and get on with your life. He did you a huge favour by dumping you.

Anonymous said...

Sorry girl, I don't know if he is Nigerian but Nigerian men are cowards- I had the same experience where a Naija man chased me for a year before deciding to move on without any explanation whatsoever. Worst thing is that I thought because of his exposure, class and education that he would be different but he turned out to behave terribly. I am now married to an Englishman who treats me with respect

Every relationship must NOT end in marriage, that is the harsh reality. Having said that, I think you should go and do SELF AUDIT before you start blaming the guy because if you don't , the likelihood that another guy doing do same thing to you is real. Work on your manners, don't try to apply American model because it dosent work in this part of the world. It has failed many ladies and continue to fail them.
Good luck.

Anonymous said...

You know, I had a similar experience. I was seeing this guy for sometime, then all of a sudden you stopped talking to me and I found out that he was engaged to marry. I was so upset how someone can say they love you this minute and then propose to another the next minute.
This is how Karma works; one month to their wedding, the girl just left (for whatever reason) and said she did not want to get married....LOL
He came asking me back and I was like HELL NO!!! lol
This kind of person would be unfaithful in marriage and may even divorce you quickly and move on.
So trust him, the fact that he left might be a good thing for you in the long haul. Take heart.

Jst like the popular saying time heals all wound.thou its ganna take u a real good time to get over it,bt u definitely will get over it. You see I went thru such ordeal too so I know exactly wat ur going thru right now....all I can tell u is to move on wit ur pretty self,do things that makes u happy as it helps. In ma own case it wz ma weapon,I did things I loved n shared ma pains wit ma very good friends n we all made fun of it n today am a different person. Now I realised am better off without him cuz while we were together I waz his finance,if u know wat I mean. Wen he realised the new lady couldn't pay his bills,he came back to me wit all sorts of lies to cover up. Bt it was too late to go back cuz I've moved on a loooooong time. So dear u shuld be thankful he left on time cuz he dosnt deserve u..kisses

It's what almost every girl in this country is going through. The average man is lustful...looking for any girl to fuck. Once they see you, they tell you lies and make you believe they love you when all they want is what is between your legs. Girls be careful. It is not everyman that you should open your legs for. You make it very easy for a guy to use you. Some guys really deserve acid baths on their balls. Thank God for God or some guys would have been six feet under by now. Wayward and promiscous fools!

Relocating actually helps and a rebound relationship helps more (for me tho) that's how I got over my ex fiance. Men can be mean tho but they are good ones out there. It will be difficult for you to trust guys but eventually you'll find you are only being cautious not to fall into the same trap again but then life itself is a risk how cautious can one be? You will learn to deal with it really and learn to move on. He is a wuss and will definitely want to get back in contact with you but you will not let him clear his conscience make sure you don't give him that room to think both of you can be friends with what he did. Let his conscience burn with guilt (yea wicked right? No, that's the only way you can get back at him and the fastest way to move on. Working perfectly for me). You will think of all the things you wanna tell him but please I beg you don't leave voice mails or write it in a text (you don't wanna give the power of knowing you are hurting), just talk to yourself like you were In an actual conversation with him then let it all out and go about ur business. It all gets better in time. Please if you must have a rebound relationship, make sure it doesn't exceed 2weeks to a month and make sure you tell whoever ur rebound is all about ur ex and how he hurt u and also reasons why you can't take the relationship any further cos if you take the relationship any further, you gonna be insecure in that relationship and you gonna import the hurt from ur past relationship to the new one. You have to allow urself to grieve. Cry if you feel like it and seriously move on cos aint nobody gat time for a wuss of an ex. #my2cents tho.

kimora said...

I forgot to mention God and the bible plus fasting and praying will be your best friends these periods and please stay away from junk food so you dong add weight, if you are heavy, you might wanna focus all that anger on losing some weight and looking fabulous k. It's not to impress him don't be silly tho, it's just to remind yourself of how important you are to yourself and losing weight helps with ur self esteem. You can also buy new clothes to suit ur new found figure and if you already are slim, please do not starve urself just eat healthy. If you are working, try to focus on ur work and look fabulous when going to work. His friends will see you and good news really travels fast but always remember sweetheart this break up is all about you and no one else but you. Don't give in to pity take back your power boo.

From the heart stems the issues of life, better spend your heart meditating on things of the spirit and spend your mind creating your future.THE GREMLIN SAYS, heartbreak is a percussor to high future heart blood pressure, early greying and some other not so pleasant fringe benefits so i rather you spend your precious heart-earned blood pumping through your arteries and veins to more profit. Anyone who can't respect you deserves not, note how that the things that bother us are only the things we esteem in our eyes. focus on life, find a new a hobby and get involved with it; now like i always say:how did u feellast time you looked in the mirror.....check your self and respect your self highly. Esteem only comes through inner confidence, the rest will follow, capeech?THE GREMLIN HAS SPOKEN!

Child I've been down that road before and so many ppl on this . It's bout what you did or didn't do , it was all in the pipe linem
As hard as it seems move on ,don't be too quick to rush into another relationship , give urself time to heal . Gradually it slides. on your recovery path you'll meet loads of ppl who will love you for all the right reason .
I have and it worked for me !

Some disappointments are blessings in disguise. We humans are short sighted hence we really cannot tell when God is protecting and saving us from some stray bullets. Who knows if you'll have lived a very miserable life married to him or become a widow in your early years?. Time always heals no matter how painful our life experiences may be, take heart don't be tempted to go astray or live a bitter life, just pray, remain positive and believe that God will send you a man after his own heart.

But Nigerian women, you people need to open your eyes and stop putting all this unnecessary expectations on men. What the man did is wrong, but I'm a guy and I have felt the burden of having to promise marriage to girls, which I refused, and because of that, no relationship.

There's this girl I like. Rather than allowing us grow closer, date for a while and then see if things can go to the next level, she started asking what my plans were in the next year. I told her, man, right now I'm trying to get a steady job and I will not be one of those dudes who marry for the sake of it. I can't allow my wife enter those ugly yellow buses, or my children go to useless schools. My wife must be comfy, driving a proper car, living in a proper house, and my kids must grow up in a proper environment. But for that all these things to happen, I have to work hard and earn money. I told her all these things and she wanted me to promise her marriage. I can't do that. If I do that and it doesn't work out then she's gonna come up here on Linda Ikeji and write some bullshit about how I abandoned her and how I'm a good for nothing fish-head.

Now, because I can't give her any marriage guarantee she's refused to date me, and so I'm left feeling lost.

Nigerian women are obsessed with marriage, or the idea of marriage. Everything has to be marriage. They don't understand that not all relationships lead to marriage. They meet a guy, date for a year or two, and then they expect he's going to marry them. If he breaks up with them for someone else they say he abandoned them.

It's all good though. I'm going to keep working. God willing, I'll get my high paying job, and then get my woman (definitely won't be HER, never).

Ya'll need to get your acts together.

Chucks

She didn't complain, she with the advice of a friend, played her cards right and grabbed the guy and married him. His ex was crying up and down. From the outside, they look perfect, but if you see the fights eh....when God is on your side, you'll laugh with Karma

My dear, i went through the exact thing in November 2010. I wept my intestines out, I was confused and just grew weaker everyday from pain. But lemme tell u some things I never did and the result. I never ever cursed him openly or secretly for once, didn't report to his friends because they all knew, obviously (when I first noticed his change I complained to his best friend, who did nothing), so when he finally stopped picking my calls I didn't turn to anyone again. My dear, it was hardddd, I was a walking zombie, but God saved me and a few good friends and my family helped me. I survived through my prayers, and I felt free, when I went to church i cried my eyes out to God, praying for the strength to survive and get the right person, and I also prayed sincerely for him and his friends (I was hurt by their attitudes, so I had to pray for them since I couldn't insult them or get physically angry at them). One year later, he called to apologise, apparently I heard, since he got married things went worse, and his wife told him he had to apologise to me and beg me to pray for him before everything could be okay. That was when I got really upset, to cut the story short I prayed for him. Heard recently that he's doing fine now. But he said something when we spoke, he said it was my silence that killed him, i neither cursed nor threw a tantrum, he said he got more scared when he realised that I was a perfect wife material in every sense but he still treated me badly. Also, since we never had sex, It was better breaking free from the hurt. My self-esteem though hurt, was still safe. Being a believer gave me the wisdom I needed during this trial. I knew a broken relationship was a sign that I was saved from an already failed marriage by God. My dear, i'm presently with a man that loves me sincerely, i've prayed and tested him in different ways, he is God-sent. He loves me even in my worst state. 2yrs from now, u'll be shocked u ever shed a tear for ur ex. It's not easy but u'll survive, channel ur hurt to praying for urself. If u see anyone that knew the both of u together, smile beautifully and say hello briefly, they'll feel hurt while u walk away a free-woman:)
