    Go to gym and vent your anger out punching some bags. As often as needed. Marc

    Funny thing: I followed her suggestion when I joined the local gym. Don't really feel like going there. But I've cleaned my turnout gear, polished my boots, desinfected my SCBA-mask and written my name on the new gloves and NOMEX(tm)-pants. Also, I don't feel angry. Just devastated and alone. Will paint a few of my chairs blue and yellow this evening. Oh, and I'll visit my sister and niece before they go into their first (cheap) holiday with a few friends who offered to take them along. I know that everything will be alright. Might take a while, though, because this hit me out of the blue. And I really do love her.

      Well, a few weeks ago, I proudly announced that I had made 2 months without a cig. And that it was all due to my girlfriend. Well, I am proud to announce that I still don't smoke, even though my girlfriend yesterday (Wednesday) became my ex-girlfriend for reasons I cannot understand. I mean, we spend the night together, and we held each other when we fell asleep. In the morning, I drop her off at the station on my way to work, because I had to hold a seminar. I was so happy and so complete. We talked and joked when she called me around noon yesterday. At 8 pm she called again and told me there was something we needed to talk about, but I am not sure if I should do this over the phone. Really, when she said those words, I knew what was coming, so I asked her: If you are going to tell me that you don't want to be in this relationship any longer, please tell me now. She told me. Apparently, I am a nice guy and we should stay good friends. Still, NOT smoking. But I want a cig so badly, I need some moral support. 3 months, and she rips my heart out. Brilliant. Ah, I just needed to vent. Go on, there is nothing to see here...

        I've never smoked, so it's hard for me to totally relate. But I hope you can fight the urge...I really do. Sorry to hear about the girl. I don't understand my own gender (or 'species' as I sometimes refer to us) sometimes. Just remember that there is someone out there for you.

          Cigs can ruin your life. The girls is NOT worth that. You lost the girl, that's bad enough. So don't through away everything else you won in the last three months. You gained a smoke-free life! That's far more than ten women.

          It could have been everything, even the three words of no return ("I am pregnant"). No reason to expect some kind of attack, yet. The whole story might have taken a different path with an answer like "let's meet in the evening" ... but don't think too much about it, you cannot change it anymore (unless you dare calling and asking her again).

          You may be a nice guy, but I'm not sure about her. ;) Honestly, sentences like that suck X|

                But why didn't you try to invite her for today or saturday to talk about it again? There must be a reason that made her leave - maybe you two can change that reason together. If you don't see any chance to meet her again and you don't want to know her reasons, well, she might have been the wrong person for you.

                  I'd love to change everything. I am willing to change anything she asks. But she sounded very final in what she said, and I am somewhat afraid. I will try and call her tonight, maybe go to Cologne on Saturday. Maybe all is not lost. I'll try. Thanks.

                            Corinna gave me a woman's perspective on this, I replied that I'll keep some hope - and come crying into the Lounge if it does not work out.

                                Well, a few weeks ago, I proudly announced that I had made 2 months without a cig. And that it was all due to my girlfriend. Well, I am proud to announce that I still don't smoke, even though my girlfriend yesterday (Wednesday) became my ex-girlfriend for reasons I cannot understand. I mean, we spend the night together, and we held each other when we fell asleep. In the morning, I drop her off at the station on my way to work, because I had to hold a seminar. I was so happy and so complete. We talked and joked when she called me around noon yesterday. At 8 pm she called again and told me there was something we needed to talk about, but I am not sure if I should do this over the phone. Really, when she said those words, I knew what was coming, so I asked her: If you are going to tell me that you don't want to be in this relationship any longer, please tell me now. She told me. Apparently, I am a nice guy and we should stay good friends. Still, NOT smoking. But I want a cig so badly, I need some moral support. 3 months, and she rips my heart out. Brilliant. Ah, I just needed to vent. Go on, there is nothing to see here...

                                Hang tight man. Been two years for me now and I don't miss it a bit. Try real hard not to think about it. Good luck

                                Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy

                                  Well, a few weeks ago, I proudly announced that I had made 2 months without a cig. And that it was all due to my girlfriend. Well, I am proud to announce that I still don't smoke, even though my girlfriend yesterday (Wednesday) became my ex-girlfriend for reasons I cannot understand. I mean, we spend the night together, and we held each other when we fell asleep. In the morning, I drop her off at the station on my way to work, because I had to hold a seminar. I was so happy and so complete. We talked and joked when she called me around noon yesterday. At 8 pm she called again and told me there was something we needed to talk about, but I am not sure if I should do this over the phone. Really, when she said those words, I knew what was coming, so I asked her: If you are going to tell me that you don't want to be in this relationship any longer, please tell me now. She told me. Apparently, I am a nice guy and we should stay good friends. Still, NOT smoking. But I want a cig so badly, I need some moral support. 3 months, and she rips my heart out. Brilliant. Ah, I just needed to vent. Go on, there is nothing to see here...
