Probably too much advice for you at this point, but just a month ago I had a girlfriend of 2 years dump me. Its a tough spot to be in, but I suggest that you make up your mind to turn away. Its tough as all heck, but just walk away. Just live your life and thats all that matters. I've heard this before but i dont know what its from....Everything will be alright in the end. If its not alright, its not the end.

A harsh reality, but your definately not the first guy this has happened to. It sucks. I know, and probably every other guy here as well. I dont know how old you are, but you are probably a young fella, and I can only say this: Walk away. Dont waste your time chasing and pining. This is just one of those things that happens. Your heart will probably be broken again. The silver lining is that someday when you do meet your future wife, you will realize how great it is to meet the woman you will spend the rest of your life with, and that all the heartbreak you went through was a good learning experience in life and love. Until then, dont look back, look forward, and dont be too hard on yourself. Lots of other fish in the sea.

Excellent advice!!!!!

sounds almost like my situation.

i was with my girlfriend for only 3 months but it was the best relationship i had with a girl and im sure i was the best she ever had, i did everything to make that girl happy. then we started fighting alot but we worked everything out and we spent all last weekend together, we had a lot of fun, then monday she calls me and unexpectedly says we should just be friends. it really angered me that she lead me on over the weekend, then she tells me she wants to "play the field" which turns out are a couple of my friends shes interested in. so i cant even hang out with my friends to get my mind off her because she comes around. she threatened to get her dad or the cops on me last night when i was just trying to talk to her about everything. so i think i decided im done dating for a while until i can find a girl that will respect me and not stab me in the back.

Thumbs up

Before you go out with her friend to get a dig in on her, think about what might happen if you actually hit it off with this friend and she were to find out your intended use of her. Be sincere from the start, a good foundation is the key to longevity.

doormat, be a man, stand up for yourself.. and those were just my girlfriend's kind words

dating is a power trip like anything

like at work if i don't keep the new guys in line they're just going to dick around and get nothing done and then it's too late

same with a woman.. it's your job to make a pass at her. girls like to play defence, tell you when to stop, then let you go a little further

last thing they wanna do is babysit some guy that doesn't know how to do his job. they'll just go to plan be which means you become the "friend". the guy they call when they need a ride, the guy they turn to when they want to make the other guy jealous

don't ever be that guy. and don't get caught in that thing where you start trying to be everything that the other guy isn't. there are women who date jerks that remind them of their dad just like there's women that need to humiliate and control men. stay away from these kinds of relationships.. sure you'll have your ups and downs in any relationship.. ask any guy, but women are a lot easier to handle when both sides play by the rules

And just to add a feminine opinion -- every single one of these guys told you the right thing! Don't let her come back. She's weak and you don't want her. Don't waste your time and your life. Print off Erik (e1p1)'s reply and memorize it! And there's nothing wrong with a little revenge -- but just remember, the best revenge is a well-lived succesful life -- WITHOUT HER!

Been there, still after four years still gets to me from time to time, the only girl I felt I really connected with and was truly comfortable around. Probably the only girl I always looked forward to seeing or talking to, we could talk forever and the conversation was so natural. Then up and dating someone else with no expalantion, actually I found out when I went to visit her at work (where her grandmother said she was at) and she wasn't there. Nothing alarming then but on the way home guess who I pull up next to at a stoplight in another dude's vehicle. Just shook my head and turned a directon they couldn't go, haven't spoke to her bu once since and hse never tried to remedy the situation. It sucked then it still does. Damn I feel lke I'm ready for a beer right now. Anyway Ford1967 don't take it as hard as I did, it's easy to do stupid stuff at a time like this. Move on and let her think you are better off. You can always try the night shift check-in here, we have a lot of fun at times.

I knew someone who married a girl a little over a year after they graduated from high school. After a couple of years she left for someone she ended up getting married to. A year or two later she came crying back, saying it was all a mistake, she was sorry, and really loves husband #1.

Husband #1 is lonely, and he never really got over her. He takes her back, and they eventually get re-married. A couple of years later she leaves for someone else, and eventually gets married to this man.

Several years later husband #1 hears that she is unhappy. She says she really should have stayed with #1, and if #1 would leave his wife, she would leave her husband, and they could get married a third time.

Husband #1 is happily married to a wonderful wife, has two great children, a nice home, and a good business.

Husband #1 remembers the fun they had, and they did have good times. He also remembers the broken trust, the lies, the blindside leaving twice, the humiliation of facing friends. He also remembers the many tears shed over someone who was not worth it. A person who would leave when times got bad, but could not live alone, so she would find someone else before leaving.

Husband #1 sends this message back to her: He loves his wife and family, and he is happy. She had her chance, TWICE. She made her bed, lie in it. He will remember the times they had, both good and bad. He has no hard fellings toward her, but time has moved on.

After the second breakup #1 prayed to God that it was up to Him. If God wanted him to stay single, he would. If he wanted him married, please send a wife He (God) wanted him to have, instead of what he tried to find on his own.

That prayer was answered almost 22 years ago.

True story. I hope it helps.

I dated a girl last year for just under two months. She was actually my first real girlfriend. Everything was going great. I treated her very well. We went out to eat all the time, I was very good to her 18 month old son, I just did everything for her. One weekend, she left to go to Georgia for a weekend and lied to everyone about where she was going. She went to go see her ex boyfriend and family. After a lot of talking, I forgave her for what she did. Actually a week before Thanksgiving last year, she sent me this long e-mail, basically breaking it off. I have seen her like maybe 4 times since, including a few weeks ago at a gas station.

She hurt me so bad by the way she broke it off, I didn't really even try to get her back. I just let her go, because I realized if she could do this to me once, she could do it to me again. Fast forward to April of this year. I met a wonderful girl that I fell very in love with, now we are engaged to be married. Not getting married for a while though. I am much happier now, and would never under any circumstances go back to the other girl. No matter how much she tried to get back with me.
