.. but it's been a long time since I've gone through something like this and I forgot how much it hurts.
Let me tell you something about being a man on planet Earth..
Your life is going to be full of duty, obligation. burdens, hurt and pain and rejection and losses in one form or another. That is how life on this planet is for a guy. Occasionally you will have a success and that is what motivates us to persist and endure..

If you were a woman, and you suffered like men do, you would have numerous sources of sympathy and support and offers of assistance. As a man you are all alone and expected to "get over it" . You are expected to rise above it and get back in the saddle. And that is just how it is.

Chasing this relic from the past is not going to bring you what you are seeking , and you are indeed chasing your losses.

If this woman wanted to be some kind of friend to you ( let alone a FB) she would have replied to you. Her silence IS HER REPLY.

Get the F off your pity pot, stop looking to a broken relationship to jolly you up, and get out there, start over and try AGAIN until you succeed.

Good luck.

Jophill speaks the truth.

However - OP to me has all the signs of severe depression.
Not just the depression in getting over a chick, but all over helplessness and insecurity that has always probably been simmering, and this current situation bought it to the surface.

Just sayying "get over it" "get a grip" & "harden the fukk up" or whatever does not always work.

I know this because I am just coming out of a situation where I fell head over heels for a woman, despite me knowing deep down there was no long term future in it, she had a crazy ex -fiance that was was in jail for assualitng her, she did drugs, she was BPD, she had a kid, she'd been married at like 18 or 19and it lasted less than a year (she now 31).

Despite enough Red-flags to dress all the communists in China, I STILL persued her, especially after I bedded her. The "white-knight" syndrome was in full force, riding in to save this poor girl from herself.

When she went AWOL on me without explanation I forgave her. When she said that I had done something wrong - I apologised, when she said I was weird and revolting - I forgave her.....I clung on to those very few times of intimacy and her vulnerability & everything else went out the window.


She was like a drug to me.

She was also now, I realise, a CVNT.

It has taken me literally 4 months of constant ache from the pits of my stomach to do something about it. Every godammned second of the day this woman would enter my thoughts. I hit the booze hard, started smoking two packs of ciggies a day, stopped exercising, & even started to lose my good looks...got a haggard appearance. I couldn't eat, and I took so many sick days my employers started asking questions.

I went to my doctor. I'm on anti-depressants now. Not super strong ones, just enough to restore the imbalance in my brain.

By the way - did I mention this woman was a HB 8.5-9.

So, as I say - while I repeat that Jophill is right - your mental state has to be in the right frame of mind in order to be actually able to accept what he (and others) are saying.

If its not - get some medical help.

And DO NOT attempt to contact her again ever. You just might have to accept you are never going to get full closure. Mate, I did what you did, tried to contact through text, and facebook. Guess what she did? Blocked my facebook account and got her mother to text me to say "never contact my daughter again". This after I told her about a drug rehab probramme which she has entered. Sometimes it is so true: the more you do for some people the less they think of you.

This has been the worst period of my life.

So mate, get some help if you need it.

And try to look at it this way: If getting all fukked up & depressed over some cvnt is the worst that can happen to you, then really you got it quite good.

You still got two arms, two legs, two eyes, you can still crack a woody (I hope) you don't have to sh!t in the street & get your next meal from a garbage can, or be living in a country run by a dictator while you have to live in oppressive conditions.

Good luck mate, and keep us posted on how you get on.

A lesson learned the hard way, eh,Zunder ?


The greatest defect we men have is not a lack of intellect, or strength, or physical prowess. We are not weaklings or cowards in facing an enemy who wants to kill us. We do not seek a comfortable existence free of pain and loss. We persist and endure in confidence and faith in our ability to prevail and THAT very same quality is our greatest shortcoming when it is intertwined with our sexual desire for a destructive woman.

We need to learn to eject at the FIRST clanging of the bell .

She is?! Or maybe she is that hot only in your mind. I have dated a girl who I thought was a 8 but when I came out of my fog she was really a 5.

Post a pic of this girl. I bet she isn't all that.

My job will probably start requiring me to travel for weeks at a time pretty soon. I feel like I have to get her back before that because afterwords it will be too late.
Do not contact her and travel with your job. This is the best thing for you.

Focus on work, travel, meet some babes while you are out there. There is no "too late" now. It's done, man up, eat this as a life experience that will make you grow and be stronger..

Travel, is good for the soul, and you need it. You need to get away, from all this....life is way too short.

There is a bright future ahead, you just need to see it.

A long time ago, Pook made the passing comment that girls are like mirrors, they reflect who you are, right back at you.

In other words, girls give you a reality check. The delusions of granduer that many guys have regarding themselves are destroyed by girls, and your weaknesses are exposed.

Can you imagine if they hadn't yet broken up, or if the OP never dated this girl? The OP would continue to trot along thinking he is a real man, when in fact, he is just a little boy.

Oh look mate, I am not posting a pic.

The girl was an ex-model. A mixture of polynesian, portuguese, and euro.
And it wasn't just her looks that attracted me.

And Jophill - yes, lesson learnt the hard way. The very hard way.

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for the support.

Interesting events have unfolded over the last few days.

I sent her a letter last week just saying good luck and that I agreed with the breakup etc. Nothing really too bad.

I ended up seeing her at a bar over the weekend. She was with a group of friends. She didn't look too happy and I saw her friends kinda escorting her out of the bar a little after I arrived. I didn't try to talk to her or even look at her though, I was just having a good time with my friends.

Everything was going well, I was feeling like I was getting over things. Then I made a real bad mistake, the day after seeing her I checked out her facebook page. There's a pic of her with the same guy she was seeing before we moved out from our apartment. She posted it up the day after seeing me wtf.

Talk about instant gut-wrenching pain lol. That set me back a bit. Part of me wonders if this guy must be the "rebound" guy. I mean, after 4 years, in the middle of the ****storm that was the end of the relationship, how can she just latch onto another guy for any other reason than to comfort herself?

She was always insecure about being single and was worried about looking like a "failure" to people if we broke up. I want to believe she still has feelings for me, and that she's just using this guy to cope with the pain.

I'm checking out some "get your ex back" e-book right now lol. If nothing else comes of it, at least it focuses mostly on moving on and bettering yourself and other various things which are probably good ideas anyways. Already got a hb's # last night so things are starting to look up.

"Get your ex back" e-book?

Dude, you are a lost cause.
Yeah I know it's stupid but I'm just trying to pass the time by reading something.

And I don't think I'm a lost cause. I don't think I'll be able to get her back really, just wanted to see what i could have done instead so i'll know for next time, which there hopefully won't be a next time like this.

I am moving on, but like i said in the previous post some stuff happened this weekend that kinda brought her back to the front of my thoughts.

Then pick up some Stephen King.

There is no way to get an ex back. That book is a scam.

She isn't coming back.
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

I've noticed how a person's username seems to reflect his posts pretty well. lol. Bluntmaster you are very blunt! Mr.Positive makes me lawl with his positivity.

Although I think sometimes they do come back, it's best not to get your hopes up.

The only time they ever come back is after you move on and you haven't done that. You aren't reading the e-book just to "kill time".

You're finally going through the mourning process. Congratulations. You will never get this girl back, and that's a good thing. Do all your stupid letter-writing stuff (preferably in disappearing ink) and then be done with it. Happens to us all at least a few times in life.

This is why women so desperately try to make themselves feel like they're in control of the breakup. Because if losing someone is that difficult for men to deal with, imagine what it's like for women.

Yeah which sucks because that's after i don't care about her anymore and after she's fuked other guys. Why would I want her back then? This whole "getting the ex back" thing after they've dated someone else is just pointless I guess.

Yeah maybe I will never get her back who knows. If I did it would probably only be temporary anyways. I don't think things could ever go back to how they were.

AlmostThere, let me introduce you to "there" (six months from now):

You don't want her back.

You see so many men subordinate to women from having fallen into the REAL traps they set.

Do you think being temporarily wounded is ideal versus compromising your time, freedom, money, options, and life itself? You are not getting dumped, you are GETTING AWAY SCOTT FREE. You didn't get married, you didn't have a kid, hopefully you don't have financial strings like leases, cars, credit cards, etc. You just have to take the pain and resolve yourself that it will make you STRONGER, because it will, and in a way you can train yourself to enjoy that pain by watching it pound you into a MAN. And luckily, a man who enjoys our greatest asset, FREEDOM!

Do it for all the men who don't have a choice anymore.
