    Your first point is fantastic (and I'm surprised nobody else brought it up) but how would getting drunk or stoned help at all? :confused:

    It helps your feelings in the short term. I don't think anyone here (with even half a brain) would expect more, but it is a good immediate solace.

      "'cause she's 19, how bogan would it look to get married at 19?"

      ROTFL !!! This is why I hate buses. Two experiences spring to mind, one was some welfare bums in Donna's family seeing me and Hannah on the bus, ( Han was 4 or 5 ) and coming over to tell us in loud voices how they were no longer a couple, but they live together for convenience and cheapness, and so they both live with their daughter. Everyone on the bus was cringing and staring. The second was a woman complaining about her job so much, and how it was destroying her life, that her friend asked why she didn't look for somthing else. She was with the public service, and was keeping her job for the pension it paid. So she is well paid when she retires and bitches all day about how much she hated her job. 19 is a fair way from 25, but I don't think it's bogan to get married then ( or at all, really ). That's pretty funny tho, that she'll decide on a specific proposal, based on a perception of what people may think. Must be a serious relationship. I can't imagine asking a girl to marry me and being told she was going to think it over. That would suck more than no, I reckon ( because it would surely be 'no', it would at least be a very tentative 'yes' )

      Maybe she is wiser than you think... perhaps she recognizes the superficiality of her decision to not marry based on what other people think, so she is waiting until she is older and mature enough to accept ;P

        It's how a good portion of the "western world" would tend to deal with their problems, so long as it doesn't become a habit, there's no problem. Like Brady said, it's a great short term release, just don't come to rely on it. I'd shoot for drunk in this kind of situation, go out and dance the fandango!

          I wouldn't, each has their merrits, personally I chose to mix the 2. I enjoyed myself as a singleton all the way up right through til my last term of uni, and definitely enjoyed myself! The gf who I met then is the one I'm with now, and we've both clearly stated neither of us are remotely interested in kids for at least another 10 years (we're both 23), we want to get money behind us, sample life's pleasures, and enjoy our time with each other.

            Good luck to you, brother Eliott; we've all been (or will be) on the wrong side of the street emotionally in this dance of life. Grieving is a natural human process, and letting it "flow through us," experiencing it fully, leads to change (although the "change" may be "inner" rather than "outer"). best, Bill

            "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

It's going to heart like a dog of the female persuasion for some time, but you'll get over it and one day, you'll find the right one and she'll jump at the chance wondering what took you so long.

                            Same thing happened to me a few months ago - ending a 6-year relationship, and we'd been living together for 4 of those. Totally knocked the shit out of me. It sucks like a very sucky thing. Really really hurt for a couple of months but it's getting ok-ish for me now. Best things you can do are remember to move on and do loads of things for yourself, eremember how good things can be when you're on your own, and obviously, get some action at somme point with someone else, but not for relationshippy stuff, just fun. That is important.

                              25 is too young ? Wow. That really sucks, I am sorry. I've had two girlfriends, and married both . The first asked me, the second told me early on she intended to say yes, so I've never had to deal with asking and not knowing what the answer would be.

                                  Yeah, it would have worked better if she said yes. Does this mean that she's broken up with you, or just that you're going out, but not engaged ?

                                          It helps your feelings in the short term. I don't think anyone here (with even half a brain) would expect more, but it is a good immediate solace.

                                          I have been trying for weeks to get this little site indexed. If you wonder what it is, or would like some informal accommodation for the 2010 World Cup, please click on this link for Rhino Cottages.

                                          If you define short term as 'before the next morning', yes. I still think it's stupid.
