Break ups

How many of you have suffered through a longer term relationship break up? I know what I’m going through is nothing compared to what many other people have to live with but it sure does hurt. I was with a girl for three years and she just left me an hour ago. During our relationship we both matured a lot and it helped us develop. Now with it gone I feel like I’ve lost a large portion of who I am. I’m a bit distraught and am in the process of trying to recollect my state of mind.

Share your stories so I can drown myself in your sorrows rather than my own.

I had a few relationships of similar lengths end before finally meeting my life-partner when I was almost 10 yrs older than you are now.

You’re hurting and it probably seems awful now. It’ll get better slowly. Other fish in the sea and all that.

Stories are great, but don’t forget that breakups are the reason this stuff was invented:

Just post her E-Mail , cell phone number , home phone number , mothers phone number , work number , pager , photoshopped pictures etc…
You could have fun with this… Then again we could have fun with this, heck what are friends for.
wasn’t the internet created for things like this :wink:

You forgot your obligatory mention of John Foss.

Brian O. I feel for you. But I do know from personal experience that it will be better in a few days.

Thanks for the support guys.

As for you GW, I didn’t think I would ever say this but you made me chuckle and smile a bit.

good advice for a 19-year old… haha

Haha, I’ve never drank.

waits for the gasp

Your not missing much, its overrated

There’s a girl in my class, she’s a freshman (14 years old), SHE FREAK’N ENGAGED!!! Her fiancé is a sophmore. She has a ring and everything!

All he has to do is hop the border and hes legal here.

But yeah breakups are a bitch, in june/july I broke up with my now x girlfriend. We hadn’t been doing out thaaat long but what made it bad was that it wasn’t that we didn’t like eachother or that we got the other mad it was that she was moving back to her home in South Korea. It really sucked alot because of course I still had feelings for her for quite a while and we had been friends for quite a while before we started going out.

Fortunatly the weather was good and I was able to spend about every chance I got unicycling. Unicycling is what got me through it all, that and some good friends that always kept me in good spirits.

The best way to beat a break up is to just devote the time you would have spent with her to doing something else you really enjoy. Alcohol isn’t really the greatest thing though since it will likely make you more depressed about your situation, I actualy made a point of not drinking until quite a while after we broke up to be sure I wasn’t drinking out of sadness.

Wow I’m sorry to hear it, that would definitely make it all the more painful with both of you still wanting to be together.

Good advice, I’m going to be getting a lot of riding in though I’m also in a spot where I’m getting tons of school work lately and now my mind is just totally wandering.

Did you consider moving to S. Korea with her?

I would!

I broke off a LTR last year and it was pretty tough… but then I realized it wasn’t so much a loss as it was just a change. A new chapter in life. Once you realize that change is the only constant in life, and that each change brings you to face many new possibilities, then you’ll see you’re not so bad off after all.

This is the best advice. Find all those things in your life that make you happy (besides your ex) and indulge in them. Spend time with your friends and family. Celebrate single life!

You dog! What would Ethel think about you running off to Korea with some teenager’s recent ex?

For me the only way i get over break ups is this. :smiley: :smiley:
