Well.......it happened

[Boostedxt]

2 years with my gf and it ended tonight. I feel sick to my stomach and confused as all hell.http://www.r6messagenet.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif

I love her still, and I have shared some of the best times of my life with her....but in the end, the differences won.

I know I have to go to work tomorrow, but I dont want too....I want to go snowboarding or just sleep and chill.

Oh well.....all thats left to do is learn from this and take it towards my next relationship.

Joe,
i'm so sorry for your "loss."
we've all been there
i'm glad you shared some of your life with us. this place is your family. please continue the dialogue with us... it helps, i promise.
try not to be alone too much... depression tends to creep in more that way.
going to work will be GOOD for you, i promise

please take care of yourself....

No you are not :lmao

Go to the right place, and it true for everyone.

Oh and money helps as well :lmao :lmao

[CAG]

Not to get too personal, here, but I agree with spalding12. I'm not hung like tommy lee and I don't have kid rock's money. Which probably explains why women that look like Pam Andersson aren't falling all over themselves to date me.

I am, however, on intimate terms with Palmala Handerson.

Speaking from an older point of veiw, all this is part of being a "man". This has/will/is happen to all men, if they got any blood in their viens. It's a hard pill to swallow, but you gotta swallow it. Also, IMO, I don't want nobody that doesn't want me. So, if she doesn't want you, and you want her, let it go..

If you not already getting a 1098, get one, that'll take your mind off it.. Plus, time heals all chit..

Another tip, to ease that pain, start exercising!! :)

Joe, I know how you are feeling, and I am sure that everyone else for the most part knows how you are feeling as well. All I have to say is that everything happens for a reason, I know it is the biggest cliche of all time, but it is true. I'll leave you with two tid bits, one is "that which does not kill us makes us stronger" -Nitchee (I think, and I have no idea how to spell his name) The other is how we pick ourselves up when we are down defines who we are. The best thing for you to do is go to work, even though everything tells you to not go, its the right thing. Also, get in the gym as much as you can. You always feel better about yourself when you leave the gym, and it is a great way to work out some anger and frustration. Some of the best shape I got in was when my girl and I took a 3 month break early in our relationship. The first thing I did was go to the gym and I stuck with it for 3 months, until we got back together, and she really wanted to be together when she saw the "new me". Hang in there man, and don't let her get to you.

[Phil 1098]

More advice from an old man, if she dumped you on your head then COMPLETELY stay away. If you call her to just see how she is or some thing, she will know you still care. Love must be tough and if she never gets in touch with you, then she didn't care enough in the first place and you deserve better than that. If you never contact her even though she dumped you, she will start to question herself and if she did the right thing. I'm not Dr. Phil, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.:biggrin

[nucking_futs]

Joe,
my advice to you is go to Vegas, drink heavily and go to a strip joint. Get two strippers and go to the vip lounge. When you're smashed and your face is buried in one stripper's crotch and the other one is strokin the German helmet, I betcha you won't even remember your gf's name. :lmao

[Boostedxt]

Her and I got along great, but the ending was a touch on the mutual side. We both agreed there was a problem, but neither of us knew how to fix it. In 2 years there was never a dull moment and never an unhappy moment. She went jeeping with me, she went camping, hiking, fishing, PS2, snowboarding, and even though bikes were not here thing...she sat through hours at the dealership while i sat on ever bike there....:lmao...anything you can imagine she tried with me, and we enjoyed ourselves. I miss her and want to see her..her last words before she left were that she didnt want to leave and that she loved me more than anything...she just didnt know why it has to be this way.

She is a great person who I love dearly......I wish things were not the way they were, but they are....

Breathe, breathe in the air
don't be afraid to care
leave but don't leave me
look around, choose your own ground
for long you live and high you fly
and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
and all your touch and all you see
is all your life will ever be

There was a lack of imtimacy in every day life and in the bedroom. I was getting upset at the fact that thegirl I love and want to be with didnt want me touching her, or that everytime I tried I had to knock down about 8 walls. She was aware of it as well and how it made me feel and how it made her feel. She has some past moments that, like all of us, define who we are and how we tick. I want to work on it, but feels as though it wont change. I respect her opinion and her feelings.

There is nothing I wantto do more than call her and talk to her right now. She was with me and all excited for me when Iput the deposit down for the 1098....she knew how long I have wanted a Duc...and she was proud of me that I reach a goal inmy life where I have that oppertunity.

Joe

[Boostedxt]

Its just hard....because Iwish I could see her, and I wish I could hold her. When she was leaving we hugged each other for about 15 minutes.....there is so much Love there you could feel it. neither of us wanted it to come to this...but it has, and maybe the time apart will show how important I am to her and she is to me....or it will show the truth that we were both blinded too.

i didn't make you admit such intimate details about your life
but.....
is it possible that there are reasons for her lack of intimacy....
stemming from some childhood ISSUES?

it is possible that some counseling may be needed more than a breakup..... as she will only face these issues with her next relationship...?

again,
sorry to get all "doctor" on you (can't help it.... it IS what i am)

but.....
sounds like maybe there is much much more to this than even YOU know.... because she hasn't told you about it

forgive me 1 million times if i am off base

Joe,

:1 with what Spalding said about the counselling. My ex-wife and I went around and around for about 2 years trying to figure out why our relationship was tanking and eventually we ended it. I too was so confused about why things ended (in addition to being mad at the whole world etc.)

We have kids together so we will be forever linked to each other and over the course of several years I have seen her repeat the same pattern over and over again.

She and I have talked at great length about our relationship and why she has repeated the same patterns etc. She has since gone to counselling and its helping her and her current relationship. Not to say I wasn't a contributing factor in the demise of our relationship but I think it was more a factor of what I wasn't doing over what I was trying to do.

It does sound like you and your girlfriend have very strong feelings for each other but are at a loss for how to deal with the issues. I hope my advice is not out of line but I think you should approach your girlfriend honestly and openly about going to couple's counselling to see if you can discover some of the root underlying issues and begin to work through them.

The important thing is that both of you must be willing to be open and honest about the issues that you both are facing. That may mean some hard looks in the mirror but if it brings you closer to the person you care so deeply about, then its worth an introspective look at yourself.

Good luck to you both and if there is anything I can do to help (chit chat, etc) please don't hesitate to PM or email me.

Cheers!

There is a whole ton in this post that makes a lot of sense to me. One of my good friends had this to say when I spoke to him.....

"When you are dating you dont attempt to change anyone, you move on and find someone else. You only work to change someone when you are married with kids because its no longer about you and the other person."

joe

[KRG]

I think you can change behaviours, habits, change some philosophies, etc but changing the core of a person (be it another person or yourself) is next to impossible. I feel we are the sum of our experiences, good and bad, and that shapes who we are at the core. While my fundamental beliefs will not change, I have changed my outlook on many things as I've gotten older.

I think what a lot of couples run into in the course of their relationships is that thing called compromise. In every relationship there is always some give and take and there needs to be flexibility between the parties. Compromise becomes detrimental when one person surrenders their core beliefs or values, regardless of reason, for the other person.

A very good example of that is my ex and I making some rather bone-headed decisions during the course of our marriage. Sometimes they were little things other times they were big. Rather than say to each other "Uh, what you are doing is going to have consequences", we would let the other person go ahead because we thought "caring" for the other person meant giving them what they wanted. In truth however, true caring would have been calling the person on their decisions.

Its tough because many times the other person goes along with activities, interests etc not because THEY like them but because their signifcant other enjoys them. It begins a pattern that can be hard to break on both sides.

[sreeb]

I have to tell you boys, I can't believe I ran across this post, as I am going through this in my life right now as well. I thank each and every one of you for your inputs. This is a big help.

My holidays completely sucked! But, you know what....things are coming around, the sun will rise tomorrow, you are defined by your darker days. Everytime you have to dig down deep and pull yourself up, something ALWAYS comes out bigger and better--ALWAYS!!

Joe, the post was correct, DO NOT CALL HER. That is the worst thing you can do; NOTHING good will come of that. Keep yourself a mystery.

When it happened to me, all I did was play every moment over and over in my head...dreamed up every possible scenario, I drove myself crazy, (and still am)...What the hell is that? But you know what...she spoke loud and clear, as your gal has spoken. If you have to beg for intimacy, you have to move on my brutha, she has to fix herself. In 6 months, you'll look back at this and feel really good that you moved on......one way or the other....

Remember.....Unless you feel "The Hurt" you are not a real person, and you will never grow...Congratulations...you are moving a step closer each day to getting what you want and deserve.....As bad as it hurts me right now.....that is the one light at the end of the tunnel....(besides my 1098 in mid February)!!!!

Hold strong....do not F*&^n call her!!! WOmen dont appreciate that weakness...even though they say they do....keep yourself a mystery...it will kill her....and if not....you salvaged your pride...and Yes.....Pride does matter.....

[Boostedxt]

The only part of this whole thing I would play differently is the night she left it was cold and we got snow the weekend before. The roads were slick and I told her to call me when she got home...I just wanted to know she was safe. When she got home she called me but I couldnt answer the phone...I held the phone and watched it ring and it went to my VM. She left me a message that said.....

"I am home safe, wanted to let you know that......Love you. Bye."

I broke down when I listened to it....the only thing I would change is that I would have opened my phone and answered it.:(

I find myself sometimes just losing it for no reason.... I will for no reason at all just break down and lose it. This shit is hard guys.....this was the first girl I ever sat and talked about marrage with.

joe

[spalding12]

joe...
this continued dialogue is of the UTMOST importance
i'm so glad that you are sharing this with your friends here

is there any way that you could sit down and talk with someone in person:
- a counselor
- a member of the clergy
- a trust friend

i think it would help you a great deal
continue to make the right decisions for YOU.... for the present, AND the future

I'll dig deep into my soul and offer up my pathetic situation in case it can help this one person. I'm now 50 yrs. old and never married. The first 40 yrs. of my life were fabulous. The last 10 yrs. have been even better :old :biggrin . Time is on your side, Joe. Let things settle out...no hurry. It may only be a SMALL bump in your life's road.


As far as that last phone call....do not have any regrets about not answering it. What was there to gain? More heartache. It was just the timing of it that made you want to answer. Nothing else would have been resolved that night. ;)


Peace to ya, bro!

The thing that I am taking from this experience is that I can commit and am whilling to give all of myself to another person. The heart ache is reassurance that I cared....it hurts, but it will pass.

My buddy Matt is trying to convince me to go and see the girl that I have bought some of my watches from. She is my age and comes from an old school Italian Family that seems very similar to mine. I dont know yet, but he keeps telling me to go and buy a watch...:lmao

sounds reasonable
but... make sure that this "meaningless sex" is a MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING with this new girl... so that she doesn't think it means something more permanent for the 2 of you

otherwise....
stick to SEXY WITH YOURSELF for a bit....
you get in LESS trouble that way :biggrin

somehow, in the area in which i live.... exotic italian bikes don't attract as much attention from the opposite sex as i would like

my Brutale 910R only gets attention from jealous guys :(

Let it go Joe...it was meant to be. But don't worry, the 1098 will boost your sex appeal by at least 80% so just hit up all the local clubs where young beautiful girls congregate, and you will find someone else in no time. :)

On a side note, Girls suck...one of my riding buddies has been through hell as his girl dumped him two days after their wedding (he's 25 BTW) and he had to sell everything--more importanty his brand new 2006 CBR 1000RR. About 3 months ago he found another girl that he is crazy about now, but he learned his lesson and is taken this relationship VERY SLOW.

time to start packing... :BangHead

with that said, it takes my ducati to at least remotely blend in, the area where I live, seeing how theres nothing but Porsche's, Aston's, Lotus and Ferrari's... but it's always great seeing there heads turn when I pull next to em. :biggrin

Hey Joe,
I wish I would have read this thread over the weekend. I have been divorced, re-married again last year. In between, literally dozens of short and medium term relationships. Gone through personal hell over the years and now at 45 I have plopped out the other end only to open my eyes and realize that I can't be any good to any one else until I am good myself.

Take your time, AND DON'T LOOK BACK. Life and love is like driving fast. If you spend too much time looking in the rear view mirror, you are going to crash again. Look up the highway and in no time, you will come up on something interesting that you will slow down and maybe even stop to look at.

Don't settle on anything less than what seems perfect to you.

Good luck and congratulations on passing another one of life's lessons.
