Out of the blue, the ex-misses decided to ditch me last night.

Been together close to 3 years. She ment everything to me.

I'm in pieces atm, does anyone have any tips to help me get over this?

I just keep winding myself up about it, trying to keep myself busy at work just isn't happening.

Cheers

To summarise the many answers:

Internet has many "interesting" websites
Plenty of fish in the sea
Get hammered with some mates and see point 2
Find a hobby and keep busy
Time will heal
 
Sorry to hear about this mate, I have been through it, and as said already, TIME is the only healer for you.

Yep,time is a great healer altho its no good now in the early stages but as the days and weeks go by things will get better.

Just try and keep yourself busy to take your mind off the breakup.
 
that sucks.

get out there and enjoy being single, dont let her see that she has got to you :)

seriously nows the time to meet all your really mates and go to the pub :D
 
There really isn't anything but time that console you but time, get out as much as you can, take up new hobbies to take your mind off of it and try to get on with things.

The classic is joining a gym, its time consuming, healthy and makes you feel better about yourself.

Then when you're ready put yourself back out there..
 
Shes claiming that he wants to be single and have fun.

I dunno how to take it, maybe she will realise and come back who knows.

It was out of the blue in her finishing. She was having a rough time at home/work. But i thought we were okay, but now it seems that her mates had discussed this with her.
 
Music & Mind altering substances are your only savour at the moment.
In time the pain will ease.
 
My gf dumped me on monday. The way im getting over it is to spend all my money on myself, new clothes, buying an Xbox360 to play with my mates, getting drunk at the weekend, and realising that my ex-gf wasnt the one for me, so im not going to dwell on that.

Go out, keep busy, bury your head in at work, do something you enjoy and be with your mates!
 
I also got ditched few weeks ago and was also with her for a little over three years.

It's destroying, the first two weeks are bad, it does start to ease slightly i think after 3 weeks to a month.

Oh and i bought an xbox 360 with cod4, and watchd a load of films to keep my mind occupied.

gl man you only live once, you will move on like everyone else

Surround your self with people, make new friends, get new hobbies, Get down the gym and get your self in shape, try to stop thinking about it!

Unless you think there is a chance of you getting back together then just stop talking to her, every time you get the urge to ring her or text her just ring or text some one else!

That's what helped me, I broke up with my gf of 3 years about 5 days before valentines day this year :)
 
Having an inflated opinion of yourself and a big ego helps me i find (it's only happened maybe once or twice with me though, and wasn't near 3 years) hehe. Initially i'm like "wtf?", but then i think "Hang on, nights out with mates, those women who wanted my number the other week, do what i want, when i want with whom i want, chat up any bird..YES!"

Though i'm in my 20's, depends if your 20st with a glass eye or not i suppose heh.

To put another spin on this, i said the exact same thing to my missus and she thought exactly the same as you. She didn't take it so well though and i gave into her persistance. Now i'm happy with her.

Humans aren't made to be together forever, there's a reason why 50% of marriages fail (according to todays paper), with few lasting over 2 years.

Whatever you do, don't get angry with her, be nice, civil, understanding. She won't be enjoying this and getting angry will just make it easier for her.
