    Sorry to hear that. As suggested before, go for a drive or a walk. Try and occupy your mind. I know its easier said than done, but watch back to back movies or start playing games. See if you can get in touch with some old male friends and go out to drink or something.

    Why not just the friends of my own age ;) I never let women come between me and my friends. Just to bad they are all out when I need them most ;P I'm seeing a movie with a friend tonight, and I've started working on my code again. I'll manage. Thanks for the heads up :)

          My girlfriend and I broke up last night. The last 2 years and 2 months I have spent every weekend with her. It is now sunday and I am alone, a bit sad and pretty bored. I was thinking of writing a CP article (I'm working on a useless, but fun bit of code, just for practice), but whenever I start the solution I feel like I should be doing something more active. Wanted to fix my flat bicycle tire, but I'm all out of fixing materials (and shops closed on sunday). All my friends are out because the weather is hot and sunny (and beach is not an option for me, I don't like the sand, the water, the sun, the people...). And I don't feel like doing anything alone because I want to get away from my own thoughts right now... I feel like I have four options... Watch a movie, play a video game, work on my code or call my ex and beg her to take me back. Seeing it like that it seems that working on my code is least likely to give me any regrets. Computer, you really are my best friend! :(

              " Abhinav S wrote: some old male female friends" A better idea. Sympathy sex is as good,or sometimes better, than any other kind. Seriously, this sounds like your first breakup from a major relationship. Like with any other transition in your life it consists of three phases; mourning the end of the previous, confused time where there is termoil in your life, and dawn of a new beginning. The mourning phase is the hardest to deal with. As I suggested a sympathetic female friend may be the best way to navigate that phase. It additionally adds a sense of finality to the breakup as she will never take you back if this female friend is also a friend of hers. This works with ex-wives also. The confused phase, in my case, usually consists of trying new things. As long as you don't end up serving time in jail just about anything that strikes your fancy will do. The new beginning will follow naturarly. I know this all seems hard to deal with right now, but after the third or forth breakup you start to roll with it. It is all part of life. P.S.- what is your ex-gf telephone number? :~ <SORRY> I couldn't help myself. </SORRY>

                        " Second... And a half" Do yourself a favor and make it your third. Trying to hold on only prolongs the mourning phase; the most difficult. JimmyRopes wrote: It additionally adds a sense of finality to the breakup as she will never take you back if this female friend is also a friend of hers. That is certainly not going to happen" Don't be so sure. This happened to me when my favorite ex-wife and I had a trail seperation, and it wasn't even my idea. I received a call from her best friend from childhood and the trail seperation worked. We have been happily seperated for 38 years now (divorced for 35). BTW she forgave her friend, but not me. :thumbsup: It made the breakup easier as there was no illusion that we were going to work things out and we got on with our lives. Her girlfriend hates me also, which in this case is an added bonus because she turned out to be a raving mad shewolf. The things you find out about people when you get naked with them.

                              " Second... And a half" Do yourself a favor and make it your third. Trying to hold on only prolongs the mourning phase; the most difficult. JimmyRopes wrote: It additionally adds a sense of finality to the breakup as she will never take you back if this female friend is also a friend of hers. That is certainly not going to happen" Don't be so sure. This happened to me when my favorite ex-wife and I had a trail seperation, and it wasn't even my idea. I received a call from her best friend from childhood and the trail seperation worked. We have been happily seperated for 38 years now (divorced for 35). BTW she forgave her friend, but not me. :thumbsup: It made the breakup easier as there was no illusion that we were going to work things out and we got on with our lives. Her girlfriend hates me also, which in this case is an added bonus because she turned out to be a raving mad shewolf. The things you find out about people when you get naked with them.

                              I just meant one relationship wasn't serious enough to call it a whole (not the one that just broke up) ;P

I do hope you get the call. It was one of the most interesting developments at a very confusing time. It was exciting too. It was kind of like cheating without actually cheating. We were seperated after all, and as I said before it had a happy ending. Pun intended. :-D

                                    There no easy way. Just grow a pair and get on with your life. That is all there is to it. I have gone back when my ex called and made up but it always ended in problems again and an eventual breakup.

I am replying from an Android tablet (Motorola Xoom) and the button doesn't work with the web kit based browser that came with the Xoom. It did work with the Opera mobile browser but something happened to it and it stopped working correctly on the tablet. It would only show a small viewing window (full width, truncated height). There doesn't seem to be an option from the andriod store to download anything but the mobil version. I may try the FireFox download and see how it works, or doesn't work as the case may be, but until then regular quotes is all I have. And yes it still is very interesting that I got the call from, what turned out to be, the raving mad shewolf.
