breaking up

i was just wondering what are some of the best ways to get over a girlfriend. I feel like crap still I think about the qoute "breaking up is like drowning. you can only do it for so long before you have to realize you are still alive and have to fight you way back to the top. Or you can just let yourself drown." How long does i take to get over somebody you thought you knew and loved for 3 years? it seems like it going to take forever....

It actually will take forever. You'll never get over her, and you'll cry yourself to sleep for the rest of your life.

wow um...mark, you ok buddy?


i just broke up with my girlfriend of 2 weeks. it just wasn't working for me, i didn't feel the same spark as i'd felt with other girls before.

but 3 years? wow...i never want to experience that.

take your time to mourn, or be mopey or whatever. but realize that life goes on, and as cheesy as it may be, the saying "there's plenty more fish in the sea" is very true, and you WILL find someone else if you start looking again. at first it will be hard to think of other women, but like you said, if you let yourself drown, then what kind of life would that be?

take as long as you want to be mopey, but at some point, move on or else you'll regret it.

Masturbate more.

Just messing around a bit. But suislide has some good advice, theres a time to mourn then theres a time to get over it. I don't think its possible to deal with something like a huge relationship like that and not feel like absolute shit.

When a good friend of mine had her mum shoot her father dead, her sister, and seriously injure my friend herself, i felt the best way to deal with it was talk. Talk about it with friends. Let your friends know how you feel and let it all out. You're not going to shake a feeling if you keep it inside of yourself.

OK try this
Go out with friends to bars, clubs, strippers, get smashed, get high, do some more drugs and then realize you have a more serious problem of alcohol and drugs and you will forget about her



Case closed,

I went to a strip bar saturday with friends and did nothing but watch t.v. some 2003 high dunk contest or something with lebron james or something. Im sure other people felt like this. It just feels like your the only person in the world that needs attention. she was supposed to be my high school sweet heart. but i lost that to some older guy with everything i want. I feel like a loser.

Have sex with her sister.

:iagree:

Assasinate her.




Itsa how wea do eet ina eetaleeeea, eeeeeeh?

You never get over it, but you do forget with time. From personal experience I will tell you that you should take however much time you need to feel better, then make sure you keep in touch with her. You don't have to be great friends, but phone her every once in a while just to be keep in touch. The hardest thing that ever happened to me wasn't breaking up with a girlfriend I loved very much, it was going to her housewarming years later and realizing I didn't know her anymore. It sucks when someone you were so close to becomes a stranger, and it feels really wierd.

Other than time, there is absolutely nothing that is going to make you feel better. There are no quick fixes.

Brian - WTF dude? :eek:

I'm with most people. Just do shit to get your mind off it. Suddenly you'll wake up and go "I haven't thought of this person for months...and I feel great!"
















Then follow Oz's advice.

lol! that actually made me laugh. well her sister is only 17. i going be 21 soon and my name is not R kelly or michael jackson. nor do i want to be in a cell with "nasty nate"

i went through a similar situation, recently broke up with my girlfriend of a year and a half. although i ended the relationship, i more or less just started hanging out with my friends more to get my mind off of it, i got out more, met some girls i like who are good friends and one i am dating. you'll find a girl that you like, at first you'll compare everyone to your ex, but once you get over that.. things will work out. you'll be fine. just take it slow

Have sex with her sister.



or better yet... her mother

That's why Toksin said wait 6 months!! Get with the program - AF is fixing your personal life. Chop chop.

Get out. Drink yourself silly and hope you don't remember the realtionship in the morning.

When you realize that you haven't thought about them...I mean even a week, its like, wow, I really can do this. I know what it's like to break up with someone, and while I think I'm over him now, I still occasionally think about him and wonder what he's doing. You'll get over her, it takes time and tears but, eventually it'll happen.

i just broke up with my ex, a week ago(two mth relationship)started the internet dating, found someone in my town, and i dont think about my ex at all. it took me 8 mths to get over my previous relationship of two yrs. messin around helps.

Breaking up with a partner you love(d) is always a difficult process. Just make sure you don't spend too much time alone immediately after the breakup. Go out with your friends, that should take your mind off things. And eventually (ready for the cliché?) time will heal all.

Being alone is not good. I think the best thing, even if you're not out with your friends all the time is just going and doing something in public. Exercising is always good too b/c you can punish the thoughts out of your mind.

find your hobby spend some time doing it.
I just got my an AK and am going camping for a few days i just had rough breakup *got dumped while watching my opa on his death bed coming from a girl who wanted to marry me but well one day it wasn't working*

After a lil trip and shooting shit i'll be all good. You might need to replace camping and guns with your hobbies but my hobbies are pretty fun :D

Time

taking a vacation helped me.

or better yet... her mother

I'm actually pretty sure her sister is better.

You need to move on. Instantly. If you no longer have a chance with her, don't think about her. Find out your mistakes, learn from them, and don't do them with the next chick. Don't spend a single friday or saturday night after a breakup at home fealing sorry for yourself. You may feel some kind of pity-emotional-satisfaction from it, but in reality, you gain nothing from it. You must make yourself move on immediately. There's billions more where she came from. Move on.

yeah i know. i am just one of those guys who likes to think alot. that doesnt help. on a side note, hersister MAY be better but her mom is a milf also. I feel like it was her friend fault because they met thru IHOP. He came in everyday to see her. Her friend just sat there. But that wasn't her problem, so it wasn't her fault. I was so mad i temporarily changed the name to HO-HOP. tho she is not a ho. I never called her a ho so (lol) im not worried about that. Is just make me think...are relationship for real nowadays? I thought mine was.

A relationship doesn't have to last forever to be real. The last two relationships I was in were quite long, and very real, but they weren't meant to last forever. I knew from the first day that the second one wasn't forever, but it didn't stop me from loving the girl and having a great time. Relationships end, it's something you just have to come to terms with and really make sure you make the most out of the time you have with your significant other. Keep the fond memories of the time you two spent together and move forwards toward making new ones with someone else.

Just by talking about begins the healing process...HOLY SHIT...that sounds as lame as I thought it would...Just be true to your heart man...





And then stalk her....

3 months and Alcohol did it for me. Lots of alcohol.

I'm currently in a bad way with the missus my self, happened just 20 minutes ago before posting this, and now she won't talk to me, which is fucking horrable.
