Don't let her make you the doormat. Dumping her immediately was the right thing to do.

Some folks may be able to accept the love lost and move on. I don't believe anyone who has ever been in love can get past a two-year relationship without remorse...we're talking about a person, not a used appliance!

Do whatever you have to while you grieve...Grieving is healthy. Take whatever time you need, then engage in whatever favorite activity that gives you pleasure. But don't look for another companion until you have gotten over this one...women these days are pretty much looking for someone with their heart intact, and they aren't interested in a man who is still pining over a previous lover...
X2, well said.

I've kicked her to the curb. No friendships, no bull****.


Friends would never think of doing this sort of thing. I was a devoted person. I've made plenty of personal sacrifices for her, and this is what she does.

I feel sorry for her 300d, which is going to go the way her caviler went (more rust then steel) really quick without the attention it needs.




-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been biking like mad the past few days. I've put 30miles on the odo in 2 days, possibly 15 more today (for a big guy, that's pretty far) Seeing as I'm gonna have to get back in the game again, this is good.




(And I'm not gonna keep her around as a friend with privileges because: - I dont know where it's been now, and the fact that it wasnt all to great to begin with.)

I like what G-Benz wrote regarding wanting to be "friends." That is just her way of clearing her conscience of any past guilt. It is a game we all play.

Grieve and cry if you must (tears have a great cathartic effect). Then move on. Life is too short to waste on "what might have beens" or "what could've beens."

Get yourself a nice pair of Manolo high heels and a tub of chocolate ice cream...oh wait, you are the guy, sorry. In that case go buy something for your car and get some new tools for yourself.
Sorry, but that song has stuck in my brain since it came out. I sort of acted that way a lot in relationships when younger. Seldom opened up much to women. You live you learn. All relationships end except the last one.
I've had my ups and downs in relationships.
..and one that left a lasting scar.

July 31st...51st birthday...
August 1st...0925...officially "un-married"...24 years, down the toilet...

Problem...4 grandsons...

Solution...stay an arm's length from the "ex" (because you'll never know if "someone else" was dipping a wick in the well) and you'll be all the better for it...

I'm dreading the day she'll call and say, "You know so-and-so? Well, he had [insert some disease-du-jour here] and now I have it!

I'll suddenly become OCD-Handwashing-Guy, but I know I won't have to take a bar of Lava-Soap to my "wand" and scrub the first 5-layers off of it to hope I didn't get someone else's STD on/in me.

I can't stand having the doctor do a "digital" on me - and I want to take a chance on becoming an STD-model on some page in some medical magazine?

GEESSSSE!

Get someone else and wait until you both come up clean...then stick to each other and no one else.

Will it stay that way?

You can hope, but as in retail, there's never a lock-tight guarantee on anything...

I'm hoping I'm clean...not that she cheated before the separation (I'm hoping) but I haven't increased my scratching down there anymore than what I was doing since day 1...

BTW, riding that bike harder and mashing down on that gland-thing might take some of the zing out of the ol' libido...go with it...like you said...getting back into the game is all about looks and stamina...

Find a better woman! I should know, I have been married three times.
The wife I am married to NOW is by far the best woman I have ever known. We both got our Masters Degree's together, at the same time!
We work for the same company!

I'm glad I divorced my first two wives. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have met perfect wife #3.

You have yet to meet your "perfect" match. Get going...

OP:

You need to hit the 8 mile rd. establishments! Start at Trumps or the Penthouse and work your way down to Players! Sometimes fun is the answer, but almost all of the time BOOBS are the answer. If that doesn't cheer you up then do whatever puts you in a good mood.

As for her tramping around, I feel bad she did that to you. Look at it from this perspective at least you weren't married to her! I hope she wasn't cheating on you with someone you know.

Keep your head up, you will be alright.

enough sluts cruising gratiot every weekend, should be easy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

She dropped the car off (she was driving my 380 while I fixed up her 300) We had the final talk, and we were mature about it.

"Your going to find a girl that loves you as much as you love her" "You find somebody you can love with the full of your heart"

I really hope she learns from what she did, and never does this to her next.

Oh, and I turn 21 in exactly 3 weeks.


November 1st would have been our two-year.



I'm picky. She was the first women mature enough that I though I could make long-term plans for. She was my first. I took her places she's never been, gave her pleasure she's never felt (her prior boys seemed to lack all skill in the bed)


I hope my next will be the same, just with more mental strength and integrity. Her parents divorced at a young age, which I think is why she's such an individualist, and how she could never give herself to someone 100%



I'm gonna have a couple of beers and play some music. My friends and family have been most supportive. I feel no remorse for what I did, but I do miss her and I dont know what to do with all the extra time. It'll work out; it always does.

You could do what my buddy is currantly doing...go have sex with all of her friends.

Than go and have sex with all your friends, girlfriend's, friends! Pisses them off like crazy! My buddy is doing it and he is getting some good icy stares. They are still dropping like fly's though.

Not to draw attention to my story but it might help you get through yours.
Several years ago (1987 that is) I had a live-in two year relationship. She had lost her job and gone back to school and I was supporting us. I left for a month long hunting/fishing trip to Alaska with my Dad (a trip that had been planned for a couple years) and while I was gone she had a dude staying at my house. I came home a couple of days earlier than planned and while I was at home, in they walked! She: "What are you doing here?!" Me: "I live here, what are YOU doing here?"
I gave her three days to get her stuff out (she didn't even come to pack it or move it) and I have talked to her exactly once since and that by accident. I knew beyond doubt that I was doing the right thing and what she did just took me to the tipping point. That's probably why I had total peace of mind about the situation and have never felt bad about it.
It sounds like you reached your tipping point and aren't about to turn back. Good! The little voice in your (big) head is seldom wrong. You'll be fine and one day you'll grin at the thought. Just don't call, text, write, visit or anything else (and don't answer her if she does) and it will go much better.
Sorry for the novella.

Glad to hear you were able to get rid of her, before you had much more "invested" in that relationship. Yes, 2 years is a long time, but, compared to others with bad relationships that have gone one for years and years, those two years are not so bad. Besides, I am sure you did have some happy times during those two years, so they weren't completely wasted.

btw...instead of 8 Mile, why not go to the Windsor Ballet?

LD would that be "The Million Dollar Saloon" show at the windsor ballet?
I might have to clarify when I suggested 8 mile establishments I meant the gentlemens clubs, not the worlds oldest profession.
