I thought i would never make a thread like this

girlfriend of 7 years just walked out on me.... Pretty blank and broken at the moment thought she was the one... I put my everything into the relationship... she become abusive recently and now left im guessing someone else was involved I never forced it out of her if there was...

AHHH ocuk forums got to love the place...

Are there any dead rodents currently being refrigerated?
 
Sorry to hear this. My advice to you is to get the bike. It will give you something to focus on.
When my mrs walked out after 5 years and took our daughter with her, I ditched my BMW 7-Series and bought an S2000. It was a car I'd wanted for years but never seemed to be able to buy. It gave me something to focus on and helped in a small way.

Nah, that was an 8-year relationship regarding the rodent, not 7 years :p

OP - sorry that this has happened to you. Why do women always play the "I just need some space" card, when the truth is that another guy has gotten involved? Happens every time!
 
I think in a lot of relationships after such a long time its the change that's hard to deal with rather than actually missing your partner, you really are mourning the loss of a prominent habitual pattern in your life and after 7 years I can understand that isn't easy, find 'your' pattern again and build upon it, don't dwell on the past, those years are not wasted, you probably had good and bad times, what you enjoyed in the past is in the past, you live in the 'now' that's what's important, you'll be fine, get that bike!!

sorry to hear that man. Something similar happened to me, was with a girl from 17, I thought she was everything, invested everything into the relationship, visited the world with her etc etc...8 years later she decided she wanted to be single after doing nothing but tell me I was everything to her also. I was shell shocked, took me 6 months to get over her, then came along the girl who I've been with ever since. Met her on a night out, quite a catch 7 years younger than me, getting marries next May. It's only now I'm seeing what a real woman is and what a relationship should be. My fiancee is the most amazing, caring, fun woman in the world, and dare I say it, waaaaay hotter than my ex :D

Long story short, there's far better out there, you can do better and you will. You'll then look back in the future and realise everything worked out for the best. It will be strange to start out, but enjoy your life with your friends, go out, be happy, do things for you and not for someone else, basically look after number 1 for a while. When your not expecting it, something mind blowing will happen.


chin up son.

Nice post :)
 
Not much anyone can say but someone being abusive isn't on and shouldn't be tolerated. Reasonable, considerate people don't act like that.
 
<3 Big bucket of man love for me op :(.
I feel for you, there is some brilliant advice in this thread so without repeating what everyone has said I would say get that bike and focus on yourself for a while ( be selfish ).

Good man!

As for the OP, the pessimistic side of me thinks she was probably abusive to force your hand, then she wouldn't have to do the dirty work. Bottom line is, someone like that isn't worth ******* on, so in the long run you're better off without her.
 
Leave women alone for a bit, get to know who your are, when you decide you like what you see (You will in time), then smash random pasty :D
 
Thank you all for the helpful comments much bro love for you guys... Well a wee update mates come around to pick me off the ground and now were off to Amsterdam 4 day bender they paid for me... My promise was to forget... although i have been tempted sending her a cheeky picture text me enjoying my time with the boys then deleting her off my whatsapp for good...

Again much thanks guys...
 
Sad to hear this dude.

Is it really 7 years wasted though?

If you feel it is, why didnt you do something about it sooner? Its surely only wasted time if you feel now that you got nothing out of those 7 years. On the posative side you surely have some great memories and experiences, and learned some valuable life lessons, probably not as much of a waste as you may feel now.

Look for the postatives (easy to say, hard to do so good luck)
 
Legendary mates you have there mate... And Clov!s is right don't text her it's over... don't give her the satisfaction. :)
 
Best way to get over an old girlfriend is to get a new girlfriend.. Get drunk.. Go out with your friends... Keep busy.. Remind yourself that you are not a bad person and have a lot of love to give :)

Obviously wasn't the one so sod her.. her loss.. move on my brother... and remember love can come again!
 
Enjoy your break and do as I say, not as I did.

She just did you the greatest favour ever: saved you from continuing even further down a road which she was never going to stay on. Your pain would have been even greater if you'd stayed together long enough to have children or get married.

After seven years this will hurt more than you ever expected, and far more than most folk commenting will recognise. AND it will continue to hurt until you accept it's for the best for you as well as her.

Get out there and rediscover who you really are without her. The sooner you do that, finding rewarding and fulfilling things to do, the sooner you'll be happier and a more attractive proposition for the next potential Mrs Right.

Good luck and have a great weekend.
