thread to get over a breakup

noodles you will look back on this day as a v important day

i do sort of believe that, a bit

is the road to dublin rocky, y/n

gr080 otm

darragh you shd play the theme to Midnight Cowboy in the car as you arrive in dub, dressing like Jon Voight in same movie optional

NOT OPTIONAL. MANDATORY

who will play ratso

i have not seen this movie except in parts, sweaty parts with voight and an aul wan that boded ill for the rest of it

i do have a brother that could play a ginger ratso type tho

no i think i naively thought "each day will make this a little easier", not "i will be okay for a week or two and then i'll go to bits again, repeat ad nauseam"

i was pretty sure the latter would be the case, and that didn't make it any more pleasant.

if it makes you feel any better, the week or two will eventually become a month or two

x-post
"Faith and begorrah, I'm walking heerrrrr, I'm walking heerrrr."

when i, or indeed anyone i know irl, say 'begorrah', it is- and i mean 100%- imitating a non-hibernian

Playin' to the (US) crowd.

how can i argue with that the week of paddy's day

begorrah and faith, base your european hq's here please

Bringing a lilting brogue to your impersonal call-centres!

Rasto was based off Dustin the Turkey IIRC.

Ratso, even.

I misread that as
Rasto was basted off Dustin the Turkey IIRC.

she was just sad cos she knew it must have taken me some courage to ask and she knew it wasn't the right thing for her.

Just this line alone seems so insightful and true that I feel like you're ahead of 80% of humans already, NV. I've got nothing but respect for you.

Court date on 4-11, OFFICIALLY DIVORCED. FUCK YES.

HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND

truckin! otm!

are u still seeing your same lady?

Still seeing Philly. Going to Puerto Rico with her next Saturday for a week...love i tell ya.

outstanding!

Wish I'd seen this thread last year...

Almost a year after the fact, I'm feeling roughly 150% less interested than I did immediately after getting unceremoniously dumped in getting involved with anyone or even dating again. I'm legitimately starting to wonder if the interest will ever resurface or if I'll ever feel like I could trust someone enough to bother. Meh. At least I'm not miserable anymore!

Deric, your situation is totally normal.

by that I mean, an ok healthy response to have, esp. if the relationship was pretty intense/long-term

otm

yeah, it takes a lot longer than people will admit

and you are definitely gonna feel more like getting into a relationship right after being dumped -- okay, not everyone, but a lot of people are -- because there's that rebound anxiety and desperation.

humans suck, get a cat or dog

DIVORCED!

congrats!

woo hoo!

DING!

:-)

welcome back to freedom!

congrats....

Friend last night: How are you missing all these hot rock dudes checking you out?? [lists]
Me: I forgot how to notice if people are attracted to me.

It's like being 14 again, shit.

<3

i had a similar thing happen to me a few months ago when i first started going back out again. then all of a sudden i felt like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okpCx87orOA

DId someone break your pussy finger?

some assholes almost did

On my way to a divorce after a 12 year relationship, we've slowly drifted apart and there's little animosity between us, so it's relatively good on that front. However, I was crap at finding girlfriends before we met, so not sure how much hope I have when I'm ready to think about looking again.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that, Chewbs. :-(

But, trying to say this in the most non-creepy way possible: you're lovely, you're hott, and you have great taste in music. I'm sure that girlfriends will be sourced relatively easily when / if you feel like doing so again.

Ahh, thanks K, that's sweet.

Why is it considered creepy (especially on ilx) to tell someone directly that they're attractive, etc.? There are several female ilxors that I'd most definitely ask out if we lived in the same place. ilx is overflowing with attractive people, male and female!

I guess it's a thin line between admiring and cruising, though.

So… any female ilxors living near Newcastle upon Tyne? ^_-

now that's how to do it

congrats to all the newly single people! it's great out here, isn't it!?
