punch her in the throat.

 

 

I'm not going to bother reading through all of the responses before I post my own - half of them probably involve "PIIHB"/"pics or ban"...So my apologies if any of this is a repeat.

Judging by your description of her pre-break up behaviours, she is probably depressed. (This could be situational and/or genetic.) If she is depressed and not being treated, simply getting out of bed in the morning may be a MAJOR task for her. But my guess is, even if she is depressed, there were other things that contributed to your break up. Remember those things when you are tempted to contact her and want a reconciliation.

Her post-break up behaviour likely isn't evidence that she's forgotten about her history with you, but rather she's trying to forget because it hurts like hell. Sometimes people do incredibly hurtful things when they're heartbroken.

Chances are you are both on an emotional roller coaster right now and it's likely going to be a rough ride for the next while, especially if you continue to see each other/have contact. Hang in there. Keep yourself busy doing healthy things - hanging out with supportive friends/family, reinvesting energy into that hobby you quit years ago, etc., etc. It blows, but remember why you broke up and do what you need to do to heal.

 

 

We're riding this sucker out to the weekend. . . I want to know what happens this Saturday.

 

 

 

Sorry bro. It was hard to even forget about a 6 month relationship for me. The girl was great, sometimes it's not the length of the relationship, but rather how much passion and love you have for each other that makes it wonderful/painful. So I really can't imagine having to deal with the departing of a 5.5 year relationship.

What I can tell you is to just hang in there and keep yourself busy. I know the hardest part of it all is when you're alone, you do nothing but think. It's natural and un-preventable. Go hang out with your friends, you don't even need to do anything like go out to a bar or anything. Just be in their company would help tremendously. Have them come over your place, not only will this help you in your recovery, but also helps build your bond with your current friends. You'll discover a lot more things about them that may surprise you.

If you're catholic or religious, go to worship/mass/church. This could be the key here. You might start seeing the usual things a tad bit differently, mostly with a deeper or new appreciation.

Good luck bro

 

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I will be posting the second she leaves on Saturday. So.. Hang in there until then.

The problem with my friends is that all of them are in a relationship... SO come Friday and Saturday night, they are with their S.O.

Friday and Saturday DAY are packed with fun things for me to do with them.. my friends have been great about really getting me out of the house and keeping me busier than I would like to be.

 

punch a koala. punch the clown. punch her in the throat. all reasonable suggestions.
