Sorry, I probably should have guessed that but I was searching too hard for some more obscure meaning...
― Laurel, Monday, 28 April 2008 16:42 (seventeen years ago)
just pissed off after i (calmly) told her i didnt want to hear from her anymore and she hasnt even bothered responding (yet). says it all really.
there's an irony in there somewhere.
sorry for your break-up, titchy. text dumpings are especially sour - count yourself lucky it wasn't a fax :-)

Is there a thread for being the dumper...? That can be pretty stressful as well sometimes. Especially if the person is already the frail and insecure type (I'm speaking from recent experience here)...
― the next grozart, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:25 (seventeen years ago)
DUMPEE TRANSLATION RESOURCE:
"Complicated stuff I can't really talk about" = Met somebody else, been cheating on you.
"Let's just be friends" = I never want to see you again, in any situation.
I live in fear of getting dumped, think my gf is out of my league anyway...
― Bodrick III, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:34 (seventeen years ago)
just as as long as you dont show that fear of being dumped or act like shes out of your league....
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:37 (seventeen years ago)
benig dumped i can handle though. its feeling like ive been played or taken for a ride that irks me.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:38 (seventeen years ago)
Maybe I could keep her in the basement for like, 30 years?
― Bodrick III, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:46 (seventeen years ago)
prob safe to say that by the end of the 30 years, she wont be out of your league anymore.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:48 (seventeen years ago)
Dunno, most women aren't really into nutters who would keep them locked in a basement for ages. That's the downside I suppose.
― Bodrick III, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:49 (seventeen years ago)
why do you want her to respond when you said "leave me alone."? isn't she just doing what you asked her to, and you're getting annoyed by that?
the next grozart, there's a great thread somewhere where everyone is giving matt dc advice on how to break up with someone.
― colette, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:53 (seventeen years ago)
bodrick, stop putting her on a pedestal. think of your needs.
"why do you want her to respond when you said "leave me alone."? isn't she just doing what you asked her to, and you're getting annoyed by that?"
yes. her not even saying 'sorry' or something just makes it seem like my hunch that there was fuck all there is right.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:55 (seventeen years ago)
eg - when she texted me yesterday it was to tell me that she got lost while driving not that far from where i live which makes the 'ohhh its too far!' thing more of a joke.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 17:57 (seventeen years ago)
may i suggest going out and getting really drunk?
― bell_labs, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:00 (seventeen years ago)
Why is it so hard for people to just say, "look, I met someone else and I really don't feel anything for you anymore"? Of course it sucks to hear that from someone, but I'd have gotten over a couple of my break-ups a hell of a lot quicker if some honesty would have been used. I'd rather hear it from your mouth than getting half-assed excuses followed by seeing you with another guy two weeks later.

Nah, it's alright, it's been six months now, I think it'll be OK. I'm a bit older, she's at uni, so I worry about all those drunken nights out and sleazy boys.

yeah this is otm, it also poisons any real chance you have at a real friendship in the future
― deeznuts, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:07 (seventeen years ago)
yeah thats what i txted her. so not having any response just makes me think she cant even be arsed about friendship. its not all bad - ive been dating a couple of other ppl over the last few weeks cos i never felt 100% secure with this one so its not like ive got nothing, but its still a bit shit...

funny, i was just dumped this weekend, too.
I suppose it's better i wasn't cheated on. but it's hard to hear someone tell you they don't love you.
hard too when they were the person you went to when you were sad.
― pterodactyl, Monday, 15 September 2008 00:41 (seventeen years ago)
hard too when they were the person you went to when you were sad. <-- this is exactly true.
― remy bean, Monday, 15 September 2008 00:43 (seventeen years ago)
I've had these for like four months now. I really hope they go away soon. She's invited me to her birthday party on friday, and I'll probably end up going even though it's blatantly a terrible idea.
― chap, Monday, 15 September 2008 13:34 (seventeen years ago)
Shit, Remy. I'm sorry, man.
― i hode interesting bracelet (Pashmina), Monday, 15 September 2008 13:36 (seventeen years ago)
the 'doing stupid things after being dumped which are blatantly terrible ideas' is all part of the vicous cycle and is unavoidable. Even if you've done it a million times before.
― Ste, Monday, 15 September 2008 13:41 (seventeen years ago)
Ouch.
Why is it that every person who dumps you ever immediately goes for someone clearly inferior to you shortly after. One of life's many all-caps WTFs.

Just happened to a friend of mine - 7 or so years. He was dumped on his birthday ans she was the one who had an affair. He was more pissed than sad as far as I could tell. Said he ended up going to see a movie alone after he was dumped (The Spirit which ended up being a sucky movie as well).
Herm, what can I tell u since I never get dumped - since I never am in a relationship. All I can say is that you should be due for a spiritual awakening with a fresh new start and new energy.. you have experience of a long lasted love life and that too will help you when finding the right girl
But until then - get angry and bottle up the sadness
― ❤ⓛⓞⓥⓔ❤ (CaptainLorax), Monday, 12 January 2009 09:07 (seventeen years ago)
Chuck, Whisky. Whisky, Chuck. Sorry to hear about yr situation. Prior to my current 4-year stint, I'd never made it past 1.5 years, so I can't really empathize. Indulge, gallavant, cry your eyes out and burn it out of your system as quickly as possible: this has been the best approach for me in the past.
