OK boys, nail me with your tails of love lost so that I don't feel so bad about mine... doubt it'll work but missery loves company.

Unfortunately it kills all it's students.

Well that's comforting. By the way I fear I may have missed out on the most wonderful girl who has ever graced the earth with her feet... sigh...

You see, I don't think of God as a carnal entity with a tongue to stick out. So whatever. I don't believe in Nietzsche anyways.

No it's... complicated... it feels like a Dell server farm running win 2k has been thrown through my heart...

11011001 · Nov 14, 2003, 02:37 AM

Hmm.. you want something depressing?

Well, I'll share my current notions about girls in general.

From my short and bitter experiences, I think guys have a different idea about what love is that girls do. They are the romantic ones.. whereas the girls, well? I don't think so.

It's almost like they filp-flop between one obsession and another. They are interested in a guy for a while, then, all of a sudden they find a new interest, or loose interest. Well.. at least the girls I have known.

So, I am bitter. I was once a huge romantic, with all these big beliefs and notions about love, now, I don't care. The fire's dead.

How's that for depressing.. I am sure the rest of you can do better than this though.

All women aren't that way .. and many guys are . Either way you slice it ... there is often one "stable" person and one "flighty" person. The stable one is attracted to the spice that the flighty one brings .. and the flighty one likes the having one safe place where the ground feels a little solid.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I know I've been there in the past, and it's unpleasant, challenging and trying. Hang in there superchook, I'm rooting ya!

Algernnon · 07:43 AM

Love lost is the worse loss. I'm going through a divorce myself and while it is mostly a good thing, it's still difficult. Mostly I think, why did I ever think I could be married to her. But sometimes I really miss parts of what we had. It's best to learn what you can from your mistakes and just move on - Of course, it's taken me over a year to figure that out. And the thought of getting out into the dating scene after being married for five years, scares the crap out of me. I'm sorry about your loss Superchic[k]en.

BoomStick · Nov 14, 2003, 09:49 AM

The one I lost years ago called me out of the blue.

We both are miserable in our marriages.

We hadn't seen each other of years until my brother got married 2 years ago. I only spoke briefly to her as to merely say hi. My wife went ballistic on me.

Anyway, by me basicly ignoring her and she got a good look at my trophy wife, it stirred her interest. Big time.

Well I'm miserable being married to a bi-polar spoiled brat for the last 7 years.

She calls me out of the blue at my night job and we talk for a long time. I told her I wasn't angry with her as all we had in common was our birthdays and sex.

She asked me to fly up and come see her. I told her to meet me at the restaurant at PDK and I'd be there in around 2 hours.

It was good to see her again, but I remembered why we broke up, she was flighty. However I did to agree to meet her there every once in a while.

Don't ask for ours if you can't tell your own. Seriously, if you talk about it and tell us the story, it will help you feel better. We all "know" you anyway so it's not really like talking to strangers.

Did you meet her while at school? If so, you've only known her a few months. Think about that. If you've only known her a few months, there's no way you can know she's the "most wonderful girl" and most likely what you felt for her was lust more than love. Just wait another few months and you'll be pining over the next loss.

I can't say the same for my breakup, but I can say I agree about guys and girls with different ideas on love.

Mine left me because she claims there was nothing between us anymore, when in return I was falling deeper in love with her. What happened I have no idea, but I do know that if I ever find love again like that, I'm not putting my heart and soul into a relationship like I once did.

You'll get over it- and feel better for it. Get on with your life- she might see what see is missing. Don't pine, or whine, she wont give you a second look.

This is from personal experience- but I learned the hard way

The garage is excellent. 2 1/2 wide and almost 2 deep. I have a full wood work shop in it and I can still park my Jimmy and my Van in there at the same time.

it's a nice garage.

You have to do other stuff that keeps you busy. Very busy. My hardest times was over the summer after my girlfriend and I broke up - I had nothing to do but think about the past and lost future. Now, I'm busy with work, running, programming, etc. Get busy! I know my best medicine will still be to find someone to at least date, but I'm not pushing it yet.

Good luck,
Matt Fahrenbacher

Hang in there, buddy. I went through exactly the same thing 18 months ago. I am still amicable with my ex. We tried the "being friendly" thing and the remembrances of the good times, and there were many, just seemed to increase the hostility between us. I figure we will eventually lose all contact; We only talk or e-mail once every 3-4 months now cause we have some of the same friends.

The most important lesson I learned from my marriage is that loving someone is NOT enough to make a marriage work. I loved my ex the day we walked out of the courthouse after the divorce but I couldn't bear the thought of being married to her a moment longer. It take a whole lot more than love to make a mariage work. Sounds strange, I know, but if I ever get married again--and I hope I do--I have to figure out what it is about that woman that makes me want to spend the rest of my life with her. And I don't know what that "it" is but I do know it wasn't there with my ex.

PS--Superchi[k]en, you WILL love again. No doubt about it. I have carried this quote around in my wallet for going on 15 years now and it sums up my feeling about love and life very well. Take it for what it's worth.

"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection . . .
that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life,
which is the inevitable price of fixing one's love upon other human individuals."
--George Orwell writing about Ghandi
