My advice, learn to not obsess or get too attached to other people. As Yoda says, “train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose” Relationships will come and go, that’s part of life. Be content with your own individuality and self awareness and life will take care of the rest
I knew you were trolling but you made it so obvious I almost feel bad for you. You've had several GF's over the past few years???? And you were with Mrs. Right for how long, a few months???? Nice try spanky;)
Several over the past few years. Translation: several girls I work with and gab off their ears about my ex regrettably agreed to meet me for coffee during the day so I could .... talk about my ex and break down in front of them. When they console me by touching my quivering shoulder I then confined by definition that we had dated.
Honestly pretty unimpressed with the mean replies here. This the best yall can come up with? None of these have even scratched my paint. The thoughtful replies are actually very helpful though. Good to know other people go through this.
My advice: If you like animals, volunteer at a cat or dog shelter. The majority of people are women at those places. They may see you as sensitive and trustworthy if you are truly helping out with animals. And you will be doing something worthwhile for others. This worked for me. Except I was divorced...and now have found someone new, I enjoy spending time with her. It's much easier to forget the ex and the sadness that goes along with the breakup.
The number one reason for divorce is economic, not mistreatment. In the united states, women, initiate divorce 80+% of the time (more depending on race and how educated the female is), and 50% of all marriages end in divorce. I use divorce statistics because they are tracked, this can easily be extrapolated out to long term relationships.
It's uncomfortable, but in the real world, if you are a man money matters. If there was a way to track status or attractiveness, i guarantee the data would show the same.
Telling someone this isn't true is disingenuous and doesn't help him at all.
This….probably one of few good responses on here. All this other crap is nonsense and will lead you to the same path with someone else.
Guys get sold the same Disney fairy tale in their own way. The problem is people, even adults, don’t learn the nature of males and females in relationships. What we’re attracted to, why we choose each other and why we stay with each other are vastly different. The idea of ‘I want my best friend’ please drop that quick or you’ll be in the same situation again.
There are so many videos online “redpilling” guys on relationships and women. And yes it’s basic and one demential but if you’re past college age and still get hung up like this about a girl go watch some. At a fundamental level they do get the basics.
you will get through this bro. Get out there in the world, talk to people, get of the screen, set some goals, pursue them, read, learn, get in a routine, be brave, remember deep down other people are just like you. If you are feeling down right now go out and crush a run.
There are so many other girls out there. Don't be hung up on one. I am in a loving relationship now, but truth be told.... I know I'd make a lot of fun out of life being single... There are advantages to both sides. It's just what you make of it. Go out and enjoy the ride and get off social media to stop seeing all of these engagements, weddings, and dogma BS.
Actually, I did dump her. Long story. Can't give too many details because friends are on here. But sometimes people are young and don't understand how to be in a long term relationship even if they love each other. Tommy Caldwell and Beth "cheater" Rodden come to mind.

dang how old are you? thats an old reference.
And to the OP's plight, Caldwell is arguably much better off now married to Rebecca Pietsch.
Perhaps, it's a reminder that sharing good news like being engaged or a wedding isn't going to make everyone happy. I've never been happy by others' wedding announcements.
Be mindful when sharing your good news to others
True, it's selfish news, on the face of it. People who broadcast it on SM are insecure attention-seekers.
Actually, it is this interpretation of the post that is selfish.
People share news for the interest of their friends and family. It isn't about you.
Nothing insecure or attention-seeking about sharing the happiest news of your life!

Nah, if you’re sharing with friends and family then it’s a text chain or an email if not a phone call. Broadcasting on SM is 100% ”look at & validate me!”
That's nothing! Have a wife remarry and your kids call another man daddy then get back to us.
Honestly.
Most relationships end in a breakup, not marriage forever. This scenario sounds hard but not very hard.
It is not like:
- She got together with someone you know
- You have kids together
- You have property together
Blip. Doesn't feel like it when you're in it, but this is a blip.
Maybe so. Unrelated, but my mind goes back to this conversation Riker had with an opponent in Star trek who was trying to get under his skin by saying he'd been getting close with Deanna. Riker said something along the lines of "that's fine, if you can bring happiness to deanna's life then it makes me happy as well" and walked away. It made me think, I suppose if you really love someone, you should be happy for them finding someone who makes them truly happy and the best version of themselves- even if it isn't you. Take solace in the fact that they are happy, at least.
Another option that has helped me. Read or listen to something about David Goggins. He has been on the Rich Roll podcast a few times. Jessie Itzler wrote a book about training with him: "Living with a Seal." And, he has written two books: "Can't Hurt Me" and "Never Finished."
