I am sorry to hear this Eli. I have been there before, and it took me a long while to get better, but I finally did. Just keep a level head and time will heal your wounds. Give it a couple months. Perhaps you can find someone who is more into you. Good luck and God bless.

women are evil. its alright you're not the only one in the world who feels like that. you're probably still a young guy, so you'll have more opportunities. just hang out with some buddies and you'll be fine in no time.

I'm sorry to hear that man. It's a real sh|tty feeling, but you will feel better. Just don't become a hermit and lock yourself indoors crying. Try to get out and do things that you enjoy. It'll help you feel better.

That's already the type of personality I have anyway...

I was tired of rolling around on my wet pillow and I couldn't sleep or else I would probably still be in bed...

so I dunno ...

Good stuff. Call up the boys and hit up a bar or club or Chucky Cheese for that matter (grab them while they're young) and you'll forget about her in no time.

Forgive my poor attempt at a joke.

From what I've seen from you, it's definitely her loss. You WILL find someone else - it won't hurt forever.

What was her demeanor when she told you ? I'd have to imagine she was somewhat upset about it but even better if not - you can use that hatred to mend.

Get her to pay half the balance, you pay your half and then cancel it.

I'd assume that'd be the best thing to do. Unless of course, you can account for which purchases were yours and which were hers.

Atleast you didn't find out that your joint checking account paid for everything!

She's under 25 and hasn't lived. She doesn't know what she wants or need, but obviously you do. I'm sorry it happened, but your a great guy, so I'm sure you can find someone else. I know that's not on your mind right now, but just realize your future is bright. Hope everything gets better, Eli. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about this, worst thing you can do is lay around feeling sorry for yourself, stay busy, if you like to excercise, workout, run, do it, it will help with the stress. Stay away from the booze, it doesnt help. Dont try to contact her, if you do you will drive her away, let her initiate any contact. If there is any, try to be relaxed and rational and just agree with anything she says..my bet is she'll come back..but only in her own due time, there isnt anything you can do so accept it. speaking from experience here ;)

I'm shocked. From your posts you seemed to be in a pretty stable situation.

I am very sorry to hear this Eli. Try to stay tight with your buddies and your OT buddies as well and you will get through this time. It will make you stronger. Again I am very sorry & shocked to hear about this. :beer:

- Melty :(

I know things are rough now, but mark my words. You'll get through this. I found a long time ago that the majority of a relationship is mental. Just remember the good times you shared with her and try to move on as soon as you can. It's not good to dwell on heartbreak.
