What do you do when you dump your girlfriend?

[Zeppelin8]

Stupid title, I know.

Anyway here it goes. Yesterday I dumped my girlfriend, it was way overdue, and had to happen. I was bored like hell, it almost felt like a duty to me (dating, going to her place etc - it was simply BORING), I never had any excitement for almost 6 months (Whole relationship took 3 years). So I finally found a real excuse and did it.

You know what. I still feel like I love her, but my mind says this break-up is the only option me. The reason I feel this way is maybe the addiction that I have to her. Old habits die hard.

I'm not in pain or anything, I'm just kind of excited. I'll be able to play NBA 2k11 whenever I want, and do other stuff. (lol, playing 2k11 is the focal point). All jokes aside, I think I have a new life ahead of me, which gets me excited.

But after all, but my conscience is bothering me, not because I did something wrong. I kind of feel bad for her, despite her attempts to push me around. Besides I feel like some part of me is missing. I think with all things considered, 3 years is hard to swallow.

How you guys deal with break-ups? How do you feel when you know that it has to end?

That's almost exactly why my ex just broke up with me. Minus the NBA 2k part haha. Honestly, she was my first real relationship so I don't have much experience, but what's helped me has been just not talking to her at all and spending time with friends. It's been hard, but I'm finally moving on and it's all because I've been able to stop thinking about her all the time. And it took me almost a month to get to that point.

Its tough man.
Id say just do whatever you can to not look at her, think of her, talk to her.
I mean it.

Facebook, myspace, twitter, or whatever social networks you use. Avoid her page or pages like the plague. It sounds childish but its true.

Dont text her, respond to her calls unless its seemingly like an emergency (like she calls you 4 times nonstop)

Anyway, thats what my advice is after my personal experiences

I have to admit that all of this is true. I actually did the social network part and I want to be able to block her calls, for that I have to contact my cell phone provider or whatever.

Funny thing is that she will call even more then 4 times, I'm pretty sure about that. I also think that she will knock on my door, which she did before.

I think it's all about being strong and cold blooded.

I know. I actually broke up with her once, I stood strong for a while, but in the end she called and I melted down. It should end this time. Hopefully.

lol dude you don't love here you don't break up with some one you love. I will just say this don't think your girlfriend or wife has to make you happy. It is not their job to make happy. The good news is at least you did this now before you got married or had kids with her. Relationships are tough, so I wish you the best.

Re: What do you do when you dump your girlfriend?

I usually let things dissipate and while once we're close it begins to wither away at least on the romantic side. I do try to make sure i'm still friends with em though

Anyways I wish some guy would just say "It's not me, it's you" just to screw them over.

We all know that's what they mean when they say the opposite.

I can't agree with that more. That's one of the biggest reasons I'm finally able to start to move on. Before, she'd pop up on Facebook or something and all I could do was think about her.

Some distance is KEY. then after a few weeks or a couple months , you can talk again, and be friends

Yeah, I tried to be her friend from the get-go and that was the downfall.

Don't shower for weeks, sit naked on the couch while eating everything possible and leaving the remnants of it everywhere. Do this for about 6 months and you should be good

Re: What do you do when you dump your girlfriend?

a clean break is key, dont drag things out. get some booze and a tent and head to the woods for a while

This was my whole mentality when I was young, when I broke up I didn't give it a second thought.

Scott, I swear you would say such profound things if you made sure what you typed made sense.
