My Story #10 - OMG Law of Attraction Really Works!

The breakup of my relationship that I described in part 9 hit me very hard. It was more than just the loss of a relationship – it was almost everything I had known for 10 years and that included my home, my cats (I have them back with me now), social clubs in the area and so on. Thankfully the one thing I had that remained constant was my business. If I had had to face quitting my job as well it would have been too much to take.
I was caught up in extreme anger for quite a while. I felt as though my partner should have given us more of a chance. At the time I didn’t see that we’d already had 10 years so a few more months wasn’t going to make any difference. I refused to see any alternative to a future with her, I refused to accept that maybe we had been making each other miserable for far too long and splitting up was the best thing for both of us.
I did not behave very well in this time. I constantly phoned her up, begging her to take me back, then I’d go into rages and say terrible things, I would cry and beg and I just became a pathetic wreck.
One day about 5 weeks after the split I hit a particularly low point and that evening I decided to make one last ditch attempt to get my partner back. I phoned her up and used absolutely everything I could think of to get her to change her mind. Then something strange happened, rather than just saying no she hesitated and said it was too much to think about and that she needed some time and would have to call me back.
As soon as I put the phone down I knew I was making a mistake. Suddenly I was faced with the actual possibility of a reconciliation and I saw it in a very different light. Too much damage had been done, I was very hurt and she was in love with somebody else. There was absolutely no way we could go back and I knew it. I felt sick for about an hour and then phoned her back, apologised and said that was the end of it – no more, it was over.
Finally I felt some relief, I was able to accept that it was over and had to figure out how to move on with my life. I figured that much of what I wanted out of life could be had with friends and that a relationship was not all that important – especially when it was in the state that ours had been in.
The next morning for the first time since the split I knew that I was going to be ok. Then something very, very strange happened – I met the person who I was going to fall in love with and have a wonderful new relationship with!
Within 24 hours of releasing all that negative emotion and just letting go, my new partner came into my life. That moment really cemented within me the idea that the Law of Attraction is real. 24 hours!!
My new partner, I’ll call her ‘A’ was wonderful and I felt things that I had not felt in many years. Before my previous partner, (I’ll call her ‘E’) and I had split up I had been visualising a future that involved my partner and our child and how I wanted life to be. I felt the emotions I wanted to feel and I saw us doing things and going places and having fun as a family.
At the time I had wanted to experience that lifestyle with E but it could not happen because we were not in alignment with each other but Law of Attraction brings you experiences that match what you are thinking and feeling about. I couldn’t get that with E but that is exactly what I attracted with A. She had a child too and it was almost as if I had replaced one family with a new one.
Unfortunately, my new-found bliss was to be very short lived, only 4 months in fact. Tune in next week (oh gosh I sound like a radio show!) to find out how it all went horribly wrong and why I think that is! I’m close to the end of my story now… :-)


I set out to actively lead a life that truly feels good in the Spring of 2008 after a series of setbacks in my personal life. My aim is to spread whatever I learn about feeling good to others through this blog.

But remember what you learned about the Law of Attraction and watch you thoughts and emotions.
