Thank you. I can understand that you are trying to make me wake up alittle.... Its harsh and I agree with that. Girls are not everything in life and I know it.Hi all
Its just a very strong urge in me to end it... Everything seem to be screwed up in my life..... I hardly have one anyway.....
I am really very tired of trying to "find new friends.... get new hobbies" easier said than done.....
Sorry for having to have you gimme a scolding. Sorry!!
Malcom, please be strong. It is not worth it to ruin your life just because of a failed relationship. Few months ago, I was feeling exactly how you feel now. It was even worse because she left me for another guy, making a 2 1/2 yrs relationship end so abruptly.
When I had her, I always looked at people around me, and I felt so fortunate. (I kept telling my friends that I'm the happiest guy on earth)
When I lost her, I felt so depressed. Often got emotional over trivial things. (e.g. felt bitter when seeing couples happily celebrating vday, etc)
Now, I've decided to look at the bright side of life. At least we're still in one piece, have a job, a complete family. What more could we ask for??
Well, just try to think positively, pick up some courses (dance, scuba, photography, etc), make more friends and in no time, u'll get back to normal.
Cheers!

So, I began to confide in some of my closer friends, and it's definitely a gd feeling. I don't need to keep everything inside me anymore. (by the way, I find confiding in female friends easier. Maybe Buddies just don't know how to console each other?

Hi brother...
You have gotten over it.... how long did you take?? Was your situation as bad as mine, as in got no friends to confide in.. only can keep the sorrow inside??
Care to tell??
Still depressed.....[/b]

One without friends could choose to write down words and treat them as his friends.Guess you all are right.... But I can tell all of you people are definitely having more friends than me.... You all have friends to fall back on definitely...
But consider this: If you don't make new friends, how are you ever going to find another to love again?
Wallowing in self-pity is never going to bring your ex-girlfriend back. In fact, you are only proving to her that her decision to leave you was right.
Hmm. Again.. err honest response yah?Originally posted by mal_colm1979:Guess you all are right.... But I can tell all of you people are definitely having more friends than me.... You all have friends to fall back on definitely...
Problem is I only have this PC screen to stare into now... waiting for replies....
You know.. I look through my phone book. Majority of them are all working colleagues... I think by telling them my personal problems will surely freak them out.
Thats wht I keep complaining that my life is hopeless......
Sigh.. argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You were too extreme on her.Originally posted by mal_colm1979:Hi guys..
My gal just ended a 2 year r/s with me. Last week. I am feeling the full impact of this sad and depressed mood.
The reason she gave is that after 2 years with me, she now wants time to go out and catch up with all her friends. And plus she is pursuing her degree now, Its very taxing for her. My world crumbled, I cannot believe she wants to do this to me.
We were doing very fine and both our parents liked us alot. Apparently, she is trying to let it go now. I heard from her that she is fine now, and happier. She just wants to break free of the feeling of having someone to "report" to... I have never resticted her, unless she is going back home late (4am++) then i will worry. Her place is very deserted.
I think now its a case of she wants more. During this 2 years, I have done so many things for her and things which I did only for her and not the previous r/n. She knows it too, and she appreciates it alot. I think my mistake was to put in too much into this r/s. She simply pulled out of it and I was left picking up the pieces. I have to drink myself dead drunk everynight at home to make myself sleep.
Waking up in the morning for work is worst. Knowing that something is missing in my life and its torturing..
During this 2 years, what ever I did, I put her above me. That is why now, hte impact is much much bigger for me than her. Reason is simple, I put in more than her.
For some reasons, I have no friends and my social circle revolves mainly around her when she was around. Right now, I am so afraid to step out of my home.. Everywhere are memories of us.. HOW??
I totally have no mood to talk to anyone and simply lost enthusiasum in life. One conclusion made by my brother is that... She is not worth it.. You put in so much and she simply left you, w/o even hesitating..
I have send out many emails to her and there is no reply. But when I called her, she answered. Apparently, she still wants us to remain as friends. I don't know how to. Its very difficult to forget that we were once an item whom everyone envy us....
Right now, I am really at a lost. Can anyone please post some nice advice for me??
Lost and Lonely.
i think she has no feelings for you already....if she has feelings for you,no matter how taxing her school life and friendship is, she still will spend time with you.......she is really not worth it.......why spend time moaning when there are still girls outside....does mean that your ex gf the only girl in the whole wide world.......she just not the one you will spend your whole life with.......maybe.......if you step out of misery.....there is the girl waiting for you.......Originally posted by mal_colm1979:Hi guys..

One conclusion made by my brother is that... She is not worth it.. You put in so much and she simply left you, w/o even hesitating..That's old school and is usually advice given by people with simple intention of trying to console. I will tell you that: Her departure HAS a cosmic lesson attached to it - the ugliness in your personality towards BGR. If it's not mend, you could either repeat what you have went through, or end up with an unhealthy relationship with both party sucking emotional vitae out of one another. And you would probably experience this thing called 'BGR ceiling' as stated in CloUdiSm. (Explaination would be another topic altogether)
hey, dats freaky !! i told my ex the same thing too... but there was a bit of clash in character coz he loves spending tym with mi but i juz wanna do my own things at tyms, not juz sticking together all day long... dats a waste of tym to mi... coz my sch work starts to get really busy, tight schedule and i am working too...Originally posted by mal_colm1979:Hi carpe diem jur
Thanks for your advice.
Now I know what she wants. Maybe you are right.. Things just have to end somehow or rather. Along the way, I have made myself the best guy for her. She got all she wanted. I ask for nothing but I gave her whatever she wants.. Because I love her too much.
She told me that if she needs someone to marry to now, I will be the right choice. But after thinking over clearly, she said right now, she needs her freedom back and she is happy.
Its so yucky... arghhhhh. Actually the change started when she started school.. S'pore Institute of Management.. Before that she was working.
While she was working, things were fine.. We enjoyed every moment and she is just glad that she has me as her BF. Until when she decided to study...
Her schoolwork, social life with friends all came into the picture. We met lesser and it s fine with me. Do you think it was a case of her taking me for granted and thinks that whatever i did for he ris insignifigcant??
It hurts to think that whatever i did for her is no longer important. We even plan to go on a trip to on our anniversary in June. If she has seen this coming, then why bother to even discuss with me about the trip at all?
One sad man....
Hope to hear from you... carpe diem jur.
nothing last forever... not even the best things !! Love is like fine sand..grasp it and it will quickly slip through your fingers....cup it gently and it will fill the voids of your soul-- as sand seeks to fill the spaces in your hands.....Originally posted by mal_colm1979:Hi all
I am sorry for all these nonsense. I have caused you guys trouble...
I have seen all your posts... It is nice knowing that I am not facing these alone.
Dont want to let a gal ruin my life either. I will let her walk out of my life....
While I walk out of mine too....
Love is like hanging on to something... It gets painful after a while and you let it go. You feel less painful when you let go but your hands become empty...
lucky ur name is malcolm, otherwise i wun not repy ur post coz i would have tot u are my ex !!! u two really same fate sia... even when it comes to friends, u have a prob but no one seems to listen... be strong ya !!! the hardest part about moving forward is not looking back !! Life is not about what u've done, what u should've done, what u could've done... it's about what u can do and what u will do !! stay forcus !!Originally posted by mal_colm1979:Guess you all are right.... But I can tell all of you people are definitely having more friends than me.... You all have friends to fall back on definitely...

[b]You guys are right..... MAybe its still her playful nature that got the better of her... I wish to clarify something.... Its not me who is suffocating her ok? =) its her who wants more and more.....
I dont know what is more that she wants.. I gave her evrything that she wanted. Correct... she has big social circle, but she is not very sociable lor.....
Maybe now she just wants to explore her social circle ba....
Nevermind, anyway thank you all brothers and sisters.... I have decided to get over with it. No point dweeling on it anymore.
What is mine will be mine... Right?? Cheers...
I will be fine ok???
Thumbs up to all you kind and nice people here. I really felt better after spending the entire day online here...

This is a classic example of a relationship that has lost the soul of one: namely, the absence of a healthy life OUTSIDE the life of the relationship. Do you truely think that a relationship could survive on LOVE itself and deprive it from other components, which you thought that love is exclusive and other thingy have no connection to it?
This scenario should violently wake you up. (Or at least my coming words should)
No woman would want their man to survive on them, leeching them emotionally. People are telling you that you gave your world to her and that's so loving, you are an item everyone did envied, blar blar blar; I am telling you that your love meant nothing ultimately - what you have done equates to nothing. Loving? Then why is this relationship failing despite the effort put?
You will probably realise by now: You can give the whole damn WORLD to her, like you have mentioned, however what happens in reality is that, is she seeking for the WORLD or rather, your GIVEN world? Kinda like trying to sell electronic products and advertise massively in unrelated-non target market channels like fitness magazine. Who in the world would be motivate to buy your products? Sure there will be customers, but it will make up less than 10 percent of your sales. Sergio Xyman Unorthodox marketing theory states that generating awareness doesn't guarantee sales - Unorthodox CloUdiSm states that efforts in love doesn't guarantee desired result.
Interestingly, you said you have never restricted her, but that's in your own dictionary. Reality speaking, you did. Restricted her as in she has to comform herself into having ZERO lifestyle outside her BGR. (This subconscious change is a psychological influence from you. A simple way to explain this is when we stick around with negative people, we will gradually be influenced into such mindsets, vice vista).
It's NOT her, neither it's something she wished to become.
The reasons she gave to leave the relationship are symptoms of your wrapped personality in love. The real underlying truth is that YOU had became someone completely different from what she has expected in the first place, something that your love has transformed yourself into. 'It's still you, but not you anymore.'
Seriously speaking, chances are, you wouldn't be able to reconcile. So you can drop the option of waiting or trying to get her back. You can resist the idea of trying to get a life, but eventually circumstances will force you to. Your karmic pattern will repeat itself again and again and again and again, until you gain the wisdom to realise what went wrong in your attitude towards BGR from this post.
