bigrash, I can sympathize. I know it's the right thing to do, she knows it too, but it hurts me to see her get hurt by what I've said/done . . . :(

I've been staring at the phone for the last week wondering whther I should call or not. This sucks.:brokenheart:
Don't make the same mistake I did. Call her.

I never called her, and later I found out she waited for months for me to call. I am starting to really hate myself, ugh.

What's the point of calling her if I can't trust her in the first place?

Well, it's complicated, and she's about to graduate in three weeks, so it won't be too bad . . . now if I can just stop thinking about her . . . :(:(:(

I understand. Love and relationships are so damn confusing. I was so innocent back then, I knew nothing and made just about every mistake possible.

I guess its just a learning experience, but I wish I never had to learn it though.

I'm almost at the one year point. I usually don't care, and miss having a girlfriend more than anything, but there is the occasional night when I miss her in particular. Meh. These things happen.

Man... both you guys are right.
I had to break up because we both realised that we were'nt heading anywhere. It was my decision to do so. I still miss her and have feelings for her. But we're still friends. Ending any relationship is always hard. Man... the memories are all i have now... so sad.

anyway, my girlfriend and i recently broke up.
great sadness.

My co-worker KEEPS bringing up the fact that he went to the same high school as Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Mann. I think he's a lying liar. or at best a name dropper. Can anyone confirm that they went to high school in Richmond, VA?

Breaking up is hard to do for various reasons, but easier than divorce.

BTW, you forgot YAGT in the thread title, and visit www.yagt.org :)

Why are break ups so hard?
Break ups are hard because you get emotionally attached. Even if it's for the best, those feelings still have merit. Thus, it hurts.

Time helps.

Because it's rough realizing that the other person thinks that you are not good enough for them.
 

Don't listen to any of these sappy suckers.

It's hard because your penis will soon be lonely.

I remember when my ex GF and I broke up. It was the 2nd most painfull, devastating thing I had to endure. We were madly in love and our relationship was explosive. I started suffering from depression and things fell apart for us. She couldn't deal with it and we had a very nasty break up. I eventually recovered, but she had moved on.

I still have feelings for her and feel very guilty about the breakup. Its been 10 years and she still won't talk to me.

Don't make stupid mistakes with someone you love or you may end up like I did. Alone and very sad. Granted I have a new GF now, but the pain and guilt are still there and it hurts when I hear about her or if I see her.

I love my new GF, but not like I did with my first serious GF. That kind of love is extremely intense. Now I am more jaded.
Ditto. 'cept it was only a yr back. And I still feel all screwy inside bout it.

Meh! C'est la vie I guess.

Thanks for your support guys.

I thought it would be easier this time around. I was engaged a few years back and that breakup was really bad. So it's not the first time I'm feeling like this. Hopefully I'll get over this one quicker.

Skoorb Actually, as conceited as I might sound, I think I was too good for her. Even her friends used to tell me that
