Aint life grand

I was where you are a few months back. It hurts like hell, But we were in the same situation. She ended it, But it made sense to do it. We'd grown apart, Been together years, and just drifted. To be honest, It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me lol. I miss her still, But me as a person, I've improved drastically. I'd become lazy and comfortable. And in losing her, It was like getting a kick up the backside.

Chin Up :)
 
Ok so it's basically a year later so I thought I'd do a bit of thread necro and an update. :)

One thing I didn't put in the OP was that the reason I went back home was due to half of a tooth falling out for no reason. I had it temp fixed at the time and then had 9 appointments (spread them over 9 months) to get all of my teeth sorted. This cost me roughly £110 a month, which was another nice thing to hear. :p

Now it's been a year though and £1000+ later and my teeth are sorted and I actually like them now (used to hate them, holes visible on the front and quite yellow...and I don't smoke), they are all a lot less yellow and also no holes. :D

My placement year job is coming towards an end (2 months left unless I get an extension) and the job has been brilliant fun over all. A few ups and downs but mostly it's been good.

Jet was put down a week or two after I made the original post (never did find out when it was, which was a lot better for me). Whenever I go back home I do miss not seeing her about, but it's also good to know she's not suffering. :)

As for the girl front, well, a month or two after she left me she was in another relationship which says to me she could well have been seeing him towards the end of us. I still chat to her randomly, but have realised I'm much better off without her. :)

Not found another one yet though, not for lack of trying. :p
 
Just saw this, glad things are looking good. I'm sure when (if?) you're back in Bournemouth after the placement you'll meet someone. Good luck n take care.
 
Sorry to hear it Invader... but if she was right for you she wouldn't be having second thoughts... and that's a fact. Things generally (as in , usually) work out for the best where women are concerned, and in a year or so you will feel great (been through it myself although the other way around and time IS a healer).

However sod the girlfriend they come and go, i'm sorry to hear about your dog. :(
 
Nice to hear everything's going well :)

I told you it would get better :D

I'm coming close to finishing my placement year too, it's been amazing year and learnt/developed much mroe than I could have ever imagined!

Yeah, back in Bournemouth from Sept/Oct time, although I may have already met someone, but got to work on things a bit. :D

It's harsh but she is better off not being kept alive by loads of drugs and money to only die of her illnesses at a later date. :)

Cheers. I knew things would, but it's one of those things, at the time you just feel really crap. :p

Yeah, the past year has done a lot for me in many respects and I'll be going back to uni much more enthused and a much more confident person. :)

Thanks. As I say, she's better off now than she was when I last saw her (about 13 months ago). :)

Not entirely sure why Im bothering posting this, but InvaderGIR - you seem like one of the most genuinely decent people on this board, congratulations :D Im just going through a break up myself, with the girl 2 years, moved to uni together, first term went amazing, split up around January time.. But hasnt been the cleanest break up, so still sort of lingering on. Shes the most amazing girl I have ever been with, in every sense, but like people have said in this thread.. Where girls are concerned, things tend to work out for the best. I also seem to have a knack for 'upgrading' after a break up, so looking forward to that :D
 
My dog died a few weeks ago :( very sad.

he had a really bad heart murmur and his heart eventually just gave in :(
 
As lame as it sounds, I was a hell of a lot more gutted when my dog died, than when some of my relatives have died. They become like a piece of you, and I ended up very ill when she went.

Yeah. I had my gran die quite a few years ago now, didn't feel anything really, although in fairness I hardly knew her, having Jet going was hard though. Although what did make it easier was the fact I was away at uni and had to concentrate on my exams. If I'd been home it'd have been horrible. So in that way I count myself lucky.

Had a few dogs go when I've been living back home though, and it's not nice.
