I am 5 months out of the best relationship of my life. I love her more than life itself. Our first kiss was on an international flight crossing over the Atlantic, what we had was pure magic. She is the girl of my dreams, everything I could ever ask for and more. My father hated her for truly unwarranted reasons and she broke up with me because she couldn't stand his antagonism towards her. Now there's someone else in her life and his resemblance to me is nothing more than a blow to my pride; we have similar statures, jobs, interests, and educations. He is basically me without my dad, I can't handle my loneliness. I've been on many dates since but none make it past the first date. I can't help but compare everyone of them to her perfection. Everyone I know says I need to move on, but I am struggling. I'm not looking for help, just a place to vent my frustrations. Anyway thanks for listening... well, reading.

I am really sorry your love story is so sad. I don't think there is much to advise apart from what your friends are saying to you. Do you see her often? Like is she one of your friends you meet up with regularly? Do you see her at work or you live nearby? If so, you might want to stop any contact (including Facebook, etc) although it is very very tough. But this is probably the only thing you can do to ease your pain before you meet another woman. I am sure you will even though it probably sounds unrealistic to you now. Anyway, wishing you all the best!

I'm in a relationship rite now wer my father is doing everything he can to keep me and the woman I love apart. So I know how it feels. But in the end, its not his choice to make. I guessing your older then me. But it's the same fact. Its not his choice to make as to who you love or wish to be with. Its yours and hers. Don't let his opinion be a factor in that relationship you had. If I wer u, id try to get in touch with her, sit her down, and tell her that. What's more important to you? Your fathers opinion or her? Its YOUR life to control and choose who YOU want to be with. If she accepts and goes back to you, and your father gives you two hell, then don't worry and keep going. Your life not his. If she doesn't want to go back with you just because of your dad, then I don't think she's worth it. But do be her really good friend. Over time maybe she will see that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks and she will turn back to you. Just keep your presence around her. I really hope that things get better mate. I hope that I don't have to go through th same thing with my love. But best of luck to u! GBU
