Hang in there man. One door closes, another opens. In time you'll look back and know it happened the way it was meant to.

 

Well said Muz.

9000,

Take the days one at a time, and before you know it you'll reflect on this painful experience with such incredible relief that you got the better end of the deal by losing her.

Drive on.

 

I went through a similar thing a few years back, although I knew my GF was cheating as I was the "other man". When things break up though, it doesn't make it any easier on you.

I know from my experience that after a while you will view it as a relief that things finished between you. That is when you know that you are over it and that you can then get on with the rest of your life.

It hurts for a while, but you will appreciate yourself more once that hurt stops.

Good luck.

 

I only have two pieces of advice about relationships but they've both served me and many friends well for many years. The first is: Nothing makes you forget the last one like the next one.

I'll tell you the other piece of advice when you are feeling better.

And BTW, all of your friends are being very kind. You're not all clean in this. Jealousy and revenge are both implements of personal and interpersonal destruction. Learn from that too.

 

Time you spend with people like her, and time you spend on revenge and hatred and jealousy is all wasted.

It's all time you could've spent with someone truly worthwhile. That someone might be another girl, or it might just be yourself (I don't subscribe the jschmidt's philosophy), but either are more deserving than the ex.

 

TJ,

I feel for you man. Even though it hurts right now, you definitely deserve much better than her.

Go party it up on the weekend at one of the parties that you throw. Seems to me that there are a lot of girls at those parties, and most of them look pretty hot from the pictures on the flyers.
