So, how do I start?

I had a girl. Last autumn she moved to another country to study (doesn't really matter what). We started to communicate less and less, she was telling it's due to the classes and also due to the fact she's in a new place and everything looks so interesting, she'd rather spend time exploring the city.

Long story short - a couple a months ago she wrote it's not really working out (and that she's changed a lot in last months and so on) and we should break up. I suggested her to discuss it in skype, but she refused and said it'll only hurt us more (Who the hell breaks up via emails? Well, at least it's not a sms or a tweet). I thought, fine, let's wait for my vacation, I'd visit her and we could at least discuss it face to face.

So for the time being I decided to step onto the slippery "just friends" road, not to lose her completely.

Some days ago I asked her when it's better to visit her. And today she replied that I better do not, and that the real reason for the break up was that she actually has a boyfriend for quite some time already and that they're even living together (knowing her, it'd take at least several months to get to that state).

So what do we have in the end? I was dumped via an email, probably cheated on. I've known her for 5 years and we've been together for 2 years (if to count till the breaup date. Or 1,5 years if to count till the moment she moved for studying.) And I couldn't live without her, thought she was the one. Wanted to marry her one day, have children. Oh well.

So I thought maybe making some people happy with free games (all from my whishlist) could make me feel a tiny bit better? Probably not.

TL;DR

Shut up already, whine girl, and post that link. Here you go. Enjoy it.

Edit.

Wow, there's way more replies than I expected :) Thank you for all your supportive words. I know life goes on and everything will be better someday. But I just don't see it that way right now :)

Also, please, restrain yourself from writing bad about her. After all I loved her, and hearing this for some hurts me. Besides who knows maybe I was a real jerk and that was her real chance to finally ran away from me :D And I'm just here badmouthing the poor girl. There are things I did wrong, there are things she did wrong. So let's just leave it out.

She did what she did, I don't want to judge her. If she thinks it's the right choice, if that's what her heart is telling her, there's nothing I can really do. At least she says she's really happy with him. Maybe he can give her what I couldn't.

I just thought that after all those years, after everything that was between us she'd have some respect for my feelings and the courage to say the truth, not that "it's not about you" bullcrap.

Sounds much too familiar to me. And I know it sounds really dumb and as if I didn't know the pain you were/are going through. But I always think of a quote from Robert Frost I've once read:
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on"
I wish you nothing but the best, with all my heart!!

I got some free advice :)

  1. Go home and cry your eyes out. Remember all the good times.
  2. Think - Was there something you could have done differently? (Will help you later on, with your soul mate)
  3. Burn her picture, Flush it down the toilet. Curl up and cry some more. Just let it go. It wasn't probably your fault.
  4. Get up, dust yourself and Move ON! (The most important step. Your sould mate is waiting for you :) )

I have to be honest, I hoped to the tl;dr first and then onto the train, after seeing that I would love to win ANY of those amazing games I figured out I would read the whole post, that's the least I could do!

Well, breakups from love relationships ALWAYS hurt, and I mean always. I've ended a 6 month relationship after a serious fight and also been dumped after 2 weeks for a dumb whin, I've recently completed my first anniversary EVER of a romantic relationship and almost lost everything because of stupid fears of both of us. In all 3 cases I felt like crap, both depressed and angry, and to be heart broken is one of the worst feelings in the world.

Bottom line, it's normal for you to feel down, but I see that you are taking it very well for all things considered, the best thing you can do is not to linger on thoughts about her or the relation and just move on, this is far easier said than done, but still, just put your mind and your time on a hobby you love (gaming maybe) and see what projects you can put your energy into (academic, professional, physical, etc.).

I wish you the best bro, aloha!

Sorry to hear, but as everyone has said already, life goes on. It will be hard for the time being and no one can tell you how long the pain will last. But as you said, you care for her and I am sure when you two were together, she was true to you so just cherish those time you have together and wish her all the best and just move on with your life. No need to hold on to someone who has already moved on, that road is a painful one.

You should be happy I guess. You kinda dodged a bullet there. If a girl cheats for such a long time and doesn't even have balls to say it immediately, but plays the "maybe" game, you are just really lucky that you've got to know her real face, because it was too late. Imagine if she turned out to be a slut, only after you've been married and with kids, now that would be a hard punch to your face.
All in all, cheer up, go to the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for this to blow over ;)

Actually, in a weird way you should be glad she broke up with you that way. Because it was less painful for her that way. You say you love her, so I'm assuming that means you would want her to feel the least amount of pain possible, cuz isn't that how we are to the people we love? She probably couldn't bring herself to break up face to face because it was painful. Women are really emotional and stuff and feel things more than guys. I'm sure deep down she knows what a wimp she was to break up with you that way. Or maybe she thought it would be less painful for you to break up that way and was trying to be considerate of you.

Anyway, thanks for the awesome train! Mourn the loss of a promising relationship. Then move on. That's all you can do. Hope you find the one for you!

I know that feel... Kind of... I mean I still can't get over this girl after several years and I don't know why, I mean, she was the only one I could really talk to and I guess it got on her nerves and that just made things worse for me, blah blah blah, she files a restraining order against me (It didn't last, though, because I'd never try to do anything to hurt her) but yeah, I pretty much try to just care about anime girls now. They can't hurt you as bad, lol... (-_-)

This is going to sound blunt because you have been living in a dream world. It is actually better to live in reality because your world will not fall apart when the illusions are dispelled.

Firstly, you haven't been "cheated on." You would need to be in a committed relationship before that could happen. Boyfriend/girlfriend is a status for people who haven't made up their minds and have not yet decided to commit to the other person. If you're really looking for commitment, you should be searching for a wife, not a girlfriend. (Captain Obvious would like to point out that your former girlfriend is not a good candidate.)

Secondly, you're actually better off. You didn't really get rejected by the woman of your dreams, and certainly not because you were lacking in some way. Rather, you were involved with someone whose character flaws were too serious for her to deal with you in a mature (or even decent) manner. This is not about judging her, it's about facing reality. You say you love her, but your OP would seem to indicate that you're confused about what love really is. (So many people are.) It would probably help a lot if you knew the difference between love and infatuation. In the meantime, be happy that you didn't get stuck with her and move on to one of the millions of women in the world who actually deserve your attention..

Thirdly, this may or may not be a good time for you to be in a relationship, and now you have a chance to reconsider. Remember that you need to have your own life "together" before you can properly share it with someone else. Is your life truly "complete" as it is? Or are you still working on building it? If you haven't reached a point of "I'm OK living this current life for the foreseeable future," then you still have some work to do.

P.S. (It really wasn't about you. When you have more life experience, you will understand that, but for now, keep in mind that your feeling of "loss" is only there because you have never known that which is much, much better. A real woman treats others with respect, speaks openly and honestly about what is on her mind, works hard to maintain her relationships, and loves and supports her man. A real woman demands a real man, however, so I suggest you make that a priority.)
