Nearly $4,000 a month child support has done wonders helping me get over her.

Suck it up, Princess.

Winterstar: I took it EXTREMELY hard. She moved on qiwith her life like nothing had happened and wanted me to do so as well because (I suspect) she was feeling extremely guilty over what she had done and/or the way she had done it.

She didn't feel guilty. She was just reasonably concerned for your mental health.

ImpromptuRhymes: Asa Phelps:

I still take wellbutrin to keep from being pissed off 24 hours a day at nothing in particular.

Suck it up and stop popping pills. Enjoy the anger.

Good! Use your aggressive feelings, boy! Let the hate flow through you.

By the way...and at risk of being labeled a troll for this....

If you have any expectation of a relationship NOT ending eventually you are one of these:

1.) Naive
2.) Not jaded enough.
3.) Not familiar with statistics

Romantic relationships are by their nature temporary. As with everything in life you should have a plan "B".

Obsess much?

Winterstar: szyska: Oh that's nothing, friend broke up with g/f. (Same one from above who found the natural blonde.) She had a kid, and to get on the kid's good side he brough over his X-Box, PS2/PSOne, all his games for all three systems and more than a few movies. Lost it all....

Ouch...that just makes it exponentially worse...

/survived a marriage and engagement with Atari 2600, Genesis, SNES, PS1, PS2, and Xbox intact. :-)

But he still has some of the controllers and games lying around. Says he's gonna get the systems again, just not now. Almost 3 years and counting...

My left brain knows all love is fleeting.

"they found the more people were in love, the harder they took the breakup."

Still no cure for cancer.

I'm listening to Wild Thing by Sam Kinison, and I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

You seem like a woman with low self-esteem. Allow me to introduce myself...

Heh, not anymore. *Everything* started turning around for me over a year ago. But I'm sure if you look hard enough, you can find someone with low esteem to meet your inadequacies... :P

Amirite
So I guess I'm just a huge need some pussy since I can't get over my ex-wife after 2 years.

FTFY

JohnnyCanuck: My left brain knows all love is fleeting.

The bottom brain knows that "love" isn't the important part.

This: She didn't feel guilty. She was just reasonably concerned for your mental health.

That may be...however, her preoccupation with how I perceive her, even years ex post facto, says otherwise to me...that she feels the need to feel vindicated of any wrongdoing.

Your interpretation may be correct. The irony is that my self-confidence grew exponentially after the shiat she put me through - like iron in a forge.

But I'm sure if you look hard enough, you can find someone with low esteem to meet your inadequacies... :P

geekybroad is right. Women with low self-esteem are my bread and butter. They're everywhere.

Beve
"easier then"

easier than

I came to say that,
How hard can it be to use the right word?
Yet I see the wrong word used 8 out of 10 times.

Elementary english 101...

To say "easier then you thought" means something was easier followed by thinking, which makes no sense whatsoever in this case.

To say "easier than you thought" means something is easier compared to what you were thinking...Got it????

geekybroad:

cerberus9 just got kicked in the nuts

Well this is good news. I'll remember this next time I meet a woman recently out of a relationship. I'm sure she will find it reassuring and this will go a long way to helping her trust me. If you don't help them trust you, then there's no way you'll ever get them to sleep with you. And that's really the goal. Insecure women...nail them while you can. That's always been my motto.


/This thread should provide some good leads

szyska: But he still has some of the controllers and games lying around. Says he's gonna get the systems again, just not now. Almost 3 years and counting...

It took me over 2 years to get the $500 I loaned my ex for school books back...still amazed I got it...it CAN happen...but 3 years is a long time.

Winterstar

I was gonna post my awful breakup story, but it would just sound exactly like yours. Except mine had the added bonus of said ex sicing her family on me so that they can harp on me every day about how everything is my fault and their precious little snuggle dumpling poopsie kins is utterly guiltless and such a tragic victim in this whole ordeal.

boomaze: geekybroad is right. Women with low self-esteem are my bread and butter. They're everywhere.

I've found the opposite - confident women are HOT and damn good in bed.

Women with low-self-esteem are too clingy and high maintenance.

The way I break up is to line up all my friends, along with my girlfriend, in a room. Then I say "will anybody dating me please step forward. Whoa there, you.... not so fast".

Breaking up used to be hard until I learned to become a dirt bag,now i get all the love

boatman: Okay - since when does a total sample size of 26 people make a good statistical representation?

good point. also:
The nine-month study involved college students who had been dating at least two months
college students dating for two months don't exactly parallel the real world. not when I was in University, and certainly not now, in the age of the hook-up.

True. Many of them are. I haven't read this thread yet:

Amen. I've come to the decision that when women believe they are "deep", it's just a complicated euphemism for borderline personality disorder.

"Breaking up is like tipping over a vending machine, you can't do it in one push, you have to rock it back and forth a bit"

Seinfeld.

during my last breakup, she threw a plate of Calamari on me. Where did she get THAT from?

Families tend to stick with their kin, no matter what has actually happened. I was lucky enough that her family didn't really know me at all (they live out in California, so it was practically impossible to meet them)...however, her friends were merciless...

Sorry you've had to deal with that heartache...I wouldn't wish that on ANYONE.

boomaze:-geekybroad is right. Women with low self-esteem are my bread and butter. They're everywhere.

You must be ugly

Who amoungst us hasn't sucked on the end of a .38 while listening to:

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

I've ended the last half-dozen or more relationships I've been in (barring one, where the guy just faded away. Pussy). The guys I've dated have been too pussy or too involved to end things themselves; the last guy took almost five hours of talking before he was convinced that I meant it when I said, "I don't see a future with you."

He was a controlling little twerp, too. Not sad I'm out of that one, especially since the current guy is someone I'm pretty sure is my forever person.

He's not even gonna try to get them back from her. He just gonna buy them again.

Plan B is a helluva drug. I've sprung for it more than once. Thank science; all the girls I date seem to be batshiat crazy. Maybe thats just women in general.

Maybe. However I've found one thing constant about women with low self-esteem: They constantly repeat how "confident" they are, like it was some sort of mantra. Therefore, the more confident a woman claims to be, the lower her self-esteem probably is.

Breaking up occurs when:

- she has different expectations than you
- the emotional bond once shared was not nurtured properly
- the relationship is not the top priority of both involved
- her penis is bigger than yours

So this one time I was in the middle of dumping this girl and she asked if I wanted to get married now !?!??!

NO!

Then the crazy biatch said I would never find anyone like her, to that I replied Thank God!

/Getting slapped never felt so good
//Why are the pretty ones always insane?

Did I spell this correctly: So this one time I was in the middle of dumping this girl and she asked if I wanted to get married now !?!??!

NO!

What, like the ugly ones aren't??

How in the hell do you actually quantify that? Sounds like kind of a bogus study to me.

Thanks for the info.

I'll look out for that

It's all about putting things in the right context, months after a breakup you may find yourself thinking about conversations and other things that might not have really happened in the way you remember them.

Ever notice that you can look back at some relationships and the good times seem like different events that happened, where as the bad times seemed to have been rolled into one fight.
