Heartbroken

You've done the right thing JimaaaH and don't concern yourself with her feelings too much - she'll be out on the town tonight/tomorrow - some random bloke is going to make her feel MUCH better!

Not exactly necessary that comment now, was it?

Don't be a ****. I'm sure you think you're absolutely "hilarious" but when you're genuinely upset stupid little jokes like yours (no matter how ridiculous) can really be hurtful.

@OP. Well done. My first relationship (age 17 to 20) should have ended earlier than it did but I ignored the warning signs (buried my head in the sand) and ended up being even worse when it finally did come to a conclusion. I got over her though and after a little while I met my current girlfriend and only then I realised how bad of a match my ex and I were! :o. You don't have to put up with a bad or even mediocre relationship just because you've been together for "x" amount of time :) .

If someone really takes what some random on an internet forum says to heart, then they have much larger issues than a 'depressing relationship'. ¬_¬
 
im in the same boat, but the other way round. but there is a house and 2 kids involved, so its quite a lot different. my wife to be finished it with me about a month ago.. i've just been trying to cope as best as i can really, there's nothing else to say, i'm not gonna try and get back with her if she doesn't feel the same as she used to, or doesn't want me anymore. ergh... what a mess. :( meh, shouldn't really be venting on here i guess..

all i can say is you need to talk it out, and ask yourself is this going to happen again another year down the line with feelings and stuff.

All the best fella, keep your head up :)
 
I did something much worse.....after 12 years I married her! Consider yourself lucky :D

lol

On a serious note, you will be fine, just keep you chin up and don't worry about it :)
 
Split up with my ex, a month before we were due to be married... Both better off for it, Takes a while to get over it all. Think Raymond Lin said it best, Dont sit in the house all depressed, get out and have a laugh! I did and it worked a treat :-)

A year on, i'm now in a reasonable job, sharing a nice house with a friend, and 4 weeks into a new relationship, life could not be better!!
 
thanks, i appreciate it

Ah that's a **** situation. Kids make it so hard when this happens, especially for men :(
As said, keep your head up and look forwards not back. You need to make sure all time with your kids is good time and don't let either of you use them as a weapon (it happens even when parents don't realise it).
 
If you google some of the following you'll find a very, VERY useful thread which I can't link to unfortunately because of some naughty words.

Rule 1: The Relationship Is Over
You wouldn’t be in this phase if you bothered to work it out, right? Do you want to try other people just to see if there’s someone better, but make sure your partner is still around to fall back on? Don’t be that kind of manipulative jerk. Are you afraid you’ll be lonely without your known quantity? Too bad, you chose a breakup over fixing the relationship. Ending the relationship means ending it for good.

No one said dumping people was easy. Be empathetic and declare that the relationship as it exists now is over in no uncertain terms. Be firm, respectful, and calm. Maybe something like this:

Dick: I’m sorry, but I think we need to break up.
Jane: ****. You think? Are you sure?
Dick: Yes, I’m sure.
Jane: What about a break to see how things go?
Dick: No, we tried to work things out but I can’t keep this up.
Jane: BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND LIFE AND HOUSE AND SPOT AND BLACK OPS CLAN AND...!?!?!?!?!!11!
Dick: I’m sorry.
Jane: **** YOU YOU PIECE OF **** I KNEW SALLY WAS INVOLVED SHE’S SUCH A STUPID BITCH THAT WHORE...
Dick: ...I’ll call you to arrange an exchange of our stuff.

Don’t claim things you can’t control or use words that could have lasting emotional effects on your now ex-partner. Don’t say “I’ll still love you forever,” or “We’ll stay best friends until the end of time,” or any other nonsense that does nothing but confuse your ex. Don’t offer “time apart,” a “break,” “we’ll see,” or any other middle ground. Again, if you wanted to work it out, you wouldn’t be at Rule 1. Rip off the Band-Aid.

Sub Rule 1: You Don’t Owe Your Ex Anything
If you just got dumped, they’ve given up their right to your attention, love, physical contact (and even friendship, for a time). Any attempt on their part to push their weakness or guilt in your face is manipulation. Don’t feed manipulative exes. They bite.

If you just dumped your ex respectfully, that’s the best you can do. There’s nothing else that you could possibly say or do to ease their pain. Let them move on, and control any misplaced guilt you feel from doing what was necessary to move your life forward.
 
It came to the point that whenever we spoke - she would just moan about anything and everything.

I think she is just unhappy with life which basically brought me down to that level.

Doesn't make much sense I know =(

Dude, I've been in the exact same position, 2 year relationship.

I'm a very chilled and happy-go-lucky guy, but her constant negativity started to drain me emotionally, eventually something had to give. I felt awfully guilty and sorry for her, but you shouldn't be with someone out of pity.

Onwards and upwards, 2 years later I met the girl of my dreams, and you are 5 years younger than me.

Chin up!
 
I recently came out of a similar relationship.
She brought me down so much and a lot of the time she seemed to be doing it on purpose.

But once you get over the initial feelings, you will soon feel a weight lifted off your shoulders.

It also means that my money I would spend with her, is now accumulating quite quick and I am hoping to get away on some travels :)

As others have said, keep yourself busy and spend time with your mates.
Enjoy the freedom until that next person that blows you away comes along.
 
Ah my condolences buddy..... but there is always a silver lining.

Now at least you can post those not-for-public pics up for us :p
