So basically I had been dating this girl for 8 months or so. Everything was OK. We had been having little tiffs but nothing harmful. Everything was normal the night before. But one day a Wednesday I wake up to an IM. Basically saying blah blah we deserver to be with people that do the things we like. I love you and want to be friends. This isn't my first time around the block.

So my only response is COWARD. She basically says crap trying to justify the means to which she broke up with me. Now I know I shouldn't even consider wanting to be with a person that disrespects me with an IM. That's just so low. And if she doesn't have the balls to tell me to my face then I loose all respect for them.

So after this I go NC. I go up to my sisters and avoid all computers phones etc. I know what I have to do. I just keep telling myself. She broke up with an IM she's not worth anything.

So things are going so-so. I come home and put some pics up on myspace of my nephew. He's so cute. A day later she comments on one of them "I know i'm the last person you want to hear from but he's so cute"

Then she does some of the bullitens and of course for some stupid reason I look. And find out no more than 10 days after our breakup she's making out with some guy. It went in me like a huge sword. I just couldn't believe it. I thought so much better of her. I really thought that she would respect herself me and what we had and take the time to heal.

I know what I should do. I should just delete her myspace and get on with my life. But it hurts. I so much want to I'm her and tell her to leave me alone. That I deserver better than to be treated like an empty shell behind a computer. To not contact me because she doesn't deserve to have me in her life.

But I find myself on the verge of just spilling every pent up hurt and showing her the disrespect she showed me.


So come on people help me out. Give some advice. Help me build up my resolve to get through this.

She broke up with you so most likely she was over the relationship before you even had a clue so she was already 'healed and ready to move on'
She isn't worth revenge or anything. The best thing you can do is keep the NC and move on.

I should just delete her myspace and get on with my life. But it hurts

That's a good start, moving on ain't easy, but giving in to your anger is not the answer either.

Your free of this fool, and she no longer means anything to you, so take it from there. Enjoy your freedom, that will pizz her off.

You had the right idea of no contact. Don't stoop to her level. You're right that she isn't worth the effort. You're on the right track dude. Keep up with no contact and the healing will come with time. Just stay busy!

Women run off... they leave... they die... :cool:

Yeah I know what must be done. Sometimes I lack the courage until I get hurt enough I suppose.

It really upset me that she IM"D me. I truly lost all respect for her. And I know I deserve way better than that. I guess though that I feel somehow I need to let her know how low and dirty that was. I don't know why. I know it's foolish. I know that I don't need revenge. I've always had the means (with ex's in the past and this one). Items that shouldn't be in the public. And I've always made the choice not too. And I'm sure that even though I want her to hurt like me I will once again choose to keep these items private. I do know who I am. And as much as I would like to use this in the here and now. I know I would never forgive myself.

I always believe in Karma. I know I probably won't be around to see karma rise up and kick her in the face. But someday in someway it always does. I guess this site just gives me the chance to vent my hurt.

That sucks. Been there. Everyone is right about living well being the best revenge but I know how much anger you must be feeling. Sign up for a Boxing class or some other extremely physical sport. Take your anger out on willing sparring partners. I personally can't transform anger into something else but I can focus it. Just an idea.

Join a gym, don't let the anger consume your life man, it's not worth it. Read my posts from when I first got on this site, I was angry but I turned it into a positive outlet with going to the gym

You're so adament that she didn't respect you and that she sunk to a new low. I know it's painful, but take the high road. Telling her that she was disrespectful is doing her a favor.

Let this one go. Swallow your anger and proceed with deleting her from myspace and find someone else who will make you happy.

You've been doing great with the no contact. It's too bad that you didn't delete her from all means of communication though.

He's allowed to feel that way. He shouldn't communicate that to her but I don't blame him for it. When you share so much with someone and they clearly end the relationship but flaunt a new one for all the world to see it's degrading and disrespectful. Idealistically, he shouldn't know or care. Technically, it's none of his business but his feelings are still valid. Everyone's advice is good but the man can vent anonymously online.

You should delete her from your friends and make your page private. She has no right to know what your doing with your life at all. For instance her commenting your nephew. She shouldn't be allowed to enter your life anymore and doesn't deserve to see what your up to.

Yes I agree that she prob was pretty much over the relationship before she ended it. In my experience that's pretty much how it goes. It still hurts.

Yeah I suppose it just hurts to know that someone else is replacing me so fast. At least that's how I feel. It's like I didn't even get a moment of deep breath to even let it sink in before she jumps into the arms of another man.

I know people are going to do what they want. You can't control them. And in my experence they always do what they say they would never do. I guess it's the whole since you don't want me I don't want you to want anyone else. I guess I just don't understand how you can bounce from one person to another. I don't know if she's flaunting a new releationship or not. I know she's hella confused about everything. ANd she' not entriely let go. (keeping things I got her saying she is still loves me etc.) I know it's truly none of my business and she has the freedom to do what she wants. But it does seem like she's poking fun or trying to get a rise out of me... I just don't understand the point.

Because she is selfish to a point where she needs an ego boost more than she respects herself or others.

Yes I suppose that's right. She's trying to make herself feel better by having someone there. She's flaunting it trying to convince herself that she made the right choice. And by Still loving and in a way hurting me she gets to hold onto the past. I suppose when the dust settles she'll have to deal with everything someday.

Maybe she will, maybe she won't. Here's the part you have to let go of. Retribution. You have to accept that fact that she may never "get what's coming to her" or have an epiphany that she has been disrespectful and wrong. The more likely outcome will be that she justifies her decision and never looks back. That's what you have to be OK with now.

I think that is the hard part and my worst hangup. How people justify their actions to suit themselves. I know I won't be around to "see her get hers" I've been around enough to know that much. Still being replaced sucks.

Yeah this is more normal breakup thing. I do all the stupid things like looking at myspace to see what there up too. And of course I always find out stuff that just hurts me. I get angry depressed and it builds up until I just say F it. I get mad and delete them from my life. But I totally tear myself up until that point. It's like I got to know what's going on even though I'm just hurting myself. And at this point I should know better. It's like I purposly do things to push myself to that point where I say F it. But the worst thing is what it does to me while I do it. I tear myself into pieces until there is nothing left.

Yeah I did great with NC at first but then I caved. And then I got hurt. I suppose I need help finding the courage to delete the last bit of contact I have and forcing myself to move on. Any suggestions on how to find the courage?

I have a strong sense of justice as well. Still not sure how to live in a world full of selfishness and dishonesty.

I think you will find, as others have here have, that NC will not only let your wounds heal, but take you away from her drama, and confusion long enough to see her for what she is, a mean spirited, selfish, vindictive b(female human)h, who wants to rub it in, to get some sort of satisfaction from your discomfort. You can't beat her up, but you will beat yourself up.

Yes it hurts, and this is but something else that life will throw at you, that will hurt. Learn now how to deal with your feelings in a positive way, by loving yourself enough, to make yourself happy, like you tried to do her.

That's the best revenge, showing her apathy, and ignoring her completely.

Talaniman's wisdom always makes me feel good. He is a great mentor.

Having just done this less than two weeks ago, let me say that it is an amazing help deleting your ex from myspace/facebook/what have you. It really provided me closure, and a lot of relief.

I see the wisdom in your advice. I just don't understand why she want to keep hurting me. It's not like I've called her names tried to get revenge or anything. Yes I've snooped but she can't tell that. I've not played any internet games like away messages myspace moods etc. I've just simply tried to disapeer. So what's the point in comment my myspace and flaunting this new guy to me. What does she get out of it.

I just don't understand why she want to keep hurting me.

She needs your attention to feed her ego. Twisted thinking I know, but that's why you don't try to figure her motives out. Females know which buttons to push, and your letting her push yours. Start deleting her from everything.

Guys, your life is better when you don't try to figure a females mind out, you must trust me, it will drive you cuckoo!

She only does that cause she thinks you're going to get jealous just so she can get some sort of affirmation that she is hot stuff. Anyone who does this to anybody is quite the opposite... It's called lower than dirt.

Well yeah now that I think about it. She's always "been friends with her ex's" and still talks to some of them. I know she's not a very self secure person. And this caused problems. It always seemed like she wanted me to make her feel like she had self esteem. I suppose that is what the new guy is about. To make her feel good about herself. I suppose that's the reason she still talks to her ex's to feed her ego and try to boost her self worth. I know I'm trying to figure this out when I should just say F it. She made her choice and I shouldn't want to be with anybody that thinks I'm not good enough.

And I know that. But the new guy really set me back. Made me feel like I was just nothing.

LOL this made me laugh. Lower than dirt. Nice. She does have self esteem issues. And yeah I can see that. Just trying to string me along so she feels good about her self and what's been done.

Glad that I could make you laugh. :) I know too many girls and guys out there that are like that. Its horrid. They give the rest of humanity a bad name.

She keeps hurting you because you allow it to. I know it's hard but it's like a fire, if you continue to feed into it, it's going to burn, you take away it's source, it dies.

Well I got so feed up with myself last night. That I just deleted her myspace and aim. I knew I had to do it. I suppose it just took me a few weeks to convince myself. Now I'm just trying to convince myself that. "she choose to walk out on you. She has no right to pick and choose to enter and leave your life at her will. It's up to me to decide who enters my life and when"

I still have a huge urge to "check up" and see what's she's doing. I know it will only lead to more hurt. How do you overcome this urge. That's I think in it all my eventual undoing. Along with over analyzing every little thing. So how do you stop doing these things.

By building your life and gathering activities in it that don't allow you to have time to check up on her. Period. Make your life the priority, not hers.

Yeah that and time. We think alike lonely and broken. I'm also a pretty deep thinker who constantly analyzes until I get answers. If you want to be destroyed by a mystery wrapped in a puzzle then by all means try to solve this. You never will. Frustrating, I know. If I had to guess, I would say one of things that you found attractive about her in the first place was that you could never quite figure her out.

Yes I analize everything. And I think I'm the classic person that gives awesome advice but can't take their own. I know everything I should do. But it's like I need a push from some outside source.

I know in the end I will be fine. But I suppose I can't see the forest for the trees right now.

You're just holding on to some false hope.

You're heading in the right direction by deleting her. Just give yourself some time to get over this. You will eventually recover and come out even stronger.

Yes I would agree that it's false hope. But I always do it. How do you learn not too

Yes i would agree that it's false hope. But i always do it. How do u learn not too

I know how you feel. I've been holding on to false hope for a few months now. I guess we just need a push. For me, my heart was telling me to hold on and my brain was telling me to let go. It's all mental strength. That's why I mentioned the word "stronger." It's cause we are mentally weak. We let our heart dictate our actions. Following our heart is great when all is well and happiness is in the air. But right now, that's not the case. There's pain and suffering, so because of that, we need to let our brain take over our actions.

No kidding. When it first happened. I was pretty strong. Did NC deleted stuff. Went on a trip and avoid all computers and stuff. Then I broke. And learned of her kissing another guy. That's when I mentally broke down. And my strength faded and I start looking into everything. And I knew it would prob hurt me. Yet I did it anyway. I'm trying to build up my metal strength again.

I should have deleted her myspace when it happened. I don't know why I didn't. B.c I knew it was going to lead to something bad. And I'm sure her sending me comments is either out of guilt or her just wanting an ego boosts. And her trying to pic and chose when she can be in my life.

Just let it go, she wasn't worth it. Don't give her the benefit of showing her how she affected you.

Learn from this experience and move on. Don't allow yourself to suffer anymore.

I suppose it's the way of things. Day by day. I've got to reclaim my life. And find that person I used to be. It's her loss. I know who I am. I just got to reconnect with myself.

There you go. You will find someone that really deserves what you have to offer and not only that, but you will also find that person who will fulfil your heart as well. I Wish knows what he's talking about. Good luck, you can always come here for support. There is not one person here that has not went through what you are going through. You have many friends here. You may not agree with what everyone here says, but they are giving you the best of their experiences, so don't just shy them off. Remember, we are all in this thing called life together. Any time, any day, someone will be here for you.

Yeah this site has been a huge help in letting me vent. I've actually been through worse breakups than this. Far worse. But each time the hurt takes over everything. I lost my resolve for a moment but I am building it back up.

Don't let her get to you man. Don't letter get the best of you and let her know that she has control over you. It's not worth it. I know how you feel, my girlfriend.. or ex girlfriend now, broke up with me through AIM. Really shallow and low, she too wouldn't do it on the phone, let alone in person. Stick to NC and move on with your life. There are more fish in the sea. I'm a firm believer in Karma, what goes around, comes around.

Yeah I'm trying not to let her get to me. Just trying to resit the urge to check up on her and stuff like that. It's like I want to know but I know it will only hurt me. It's a constant battle raging in my head. To find out and be hurt. Or force myself to not look.

So it's been a few days and I'm feeling a little better. I still have the urge to check up on her but I am fighting it with all I have. I just keep telling myself that I deserve better. And that she choose to walk out. I've just chosen to shut the door. I think I'm on the right track

You are on the right track, but remember that this is a process, a marathon, not a sprint, and it takes a lot of time. Just be patient and continue reinforcing yourself that you are doing the right thing. In the end, it doesn't matter what she does. It is what you do between now and the day you can wake up and smile without her that counts. Make everyday matter! (I know, a bit cheesy)

That might be a bit cheesy. But you know it's the truth. Each day has got to get better right?

Yep, just stick to your guns. NC and No check up.. the only person you should be checking up on is yourself. Seriously. I know how hard is it to not care after being in a relationship for a while and caring so much. I know how you feel. I'm going through a similar situation myself. It's hard to resist from calling, checking on social sites, or asking a friend. Just stay positive, take the advice from everyone here, and just know that tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow will be better then the last and soon enough, this will all be history that you can look back on and laugh...

Yes I'm going to stick to my guns. I'm going to focus on what's important to me. My family. I have to live my own life. If I can be truly happy in my own life then that is the best satisfaction there can be...

So I've not been doing so hot latley. I've been venting to my sister and that's been a huge help. But I still can't sleep well. I just try to wear myself out enough that I can fall asleep. I try to stay as busy as I can but I just keep thinking and thinking.. I wish I could just cut my head off.

So an update since today is my birthday. I have been feeling pretty lonely and sad lately. But I got to say that this sight has been an amazing help to me lately. Trying to hold myself to the standard of advice that I have been giving to others.


Ok now to the bad and good part. Since it's my b-day we went out and drank it up. And once home I broke down.( I met the ex on my b-day last year). And I check up on her myspace.( I know it's the devil). I had deleted her a month and a half ago. But what I had found not only mad me happy but really sad. Her profile was as follows. Picture "my give a damn is busted" Her mood " depressed" her status "I hope life get's better"

Seeing this is two fold. I feel happy that perhaps the grass isn't greener on the other sad. And of course it makes me sad. I care about her and want her to be happy. Even though she has made the choices she has.

I guess this show's that perhaps I was decent to her. I feel as I did some good in her life. I got her to wear her seat belt. To quit smoking(which I hear she now does again) (not just for me but with my support(I rubbed snuff for 8 years I knew how hard it is)

I don't know. This whole "breakdown" has got me crying right now. But happy and sad tears. I always told myself in breakups that if I brought just one good influence to their lives then I have done good. That I somehow was a good person.

Right now I'm both happy and very sad. But thanks all for perhaps reading this.

Happy birthday Gemini, hope it was a good one, despite letting the ex back via Facebook. Don't let it take you back, but keep leaning forward.
