I had a tire blow out on the highway, not far from the old apartment. My car insurance doesn't offer road side assistance, apparently.
I texted four friends who weren't available before I texted BF and asked if he was free to lend a hand. He showed up within 5 minutes, changed the tire within 5 and I was on my way again within 15.
He told me not to hesitate to call upon him if I need help, and gave me a hug before he got back in his car.
He'd do the same for any of his friends, of course. He's a helpful guy.
Le sigh.
Sorry but I'm missing something. So none of your close friends could help you...
But your ex bf came out at night, on 5 minutes notice, and then repaired it AND didn't make a big deal about it or even complain...
and all you can say is "he'd do it for any of his friends...he's a helpful guy" as if it's nothing? Or as if it isn't something you ought to say a kind word about?
I can't tell if this is the new sad you, or if the negativity pre-existed the break up. But it's not lovely.
Remember that DB Coach phrase "applaud loudly for the 1% of positives he does"??? (it's Great advice that works, even when it's hard as heck to do).
But for this, I'd have applauded loudly for the 99% of help he gave you then, (EVEN if I were still with him! It's a damn nice and practical thing to do). Not every man even knows how to change a tire btw...
Can't see how being thankful could have cost you a thing. Why be sad now?
Why not be grateful and for gosh's sake, why not show him?
I saw this as such a wonderful opportunity for you to show a new happy upbeat warm loving YOU.
Just think about it, okay?
