what do you do, when your boyfriend who is also your best friend and the person you rely on for everything, breaks up with you?

how do you feel less lost? how do you cope with getting through each hour?

i really don't know what to do. .

[whitepearlbaby]

Hmm that's hard... you really need a proper best friend. A girl for example because in the end, men are all the same and think differently than girls.

Wait and distract yourself. You will feel **** for a while, and then it will go away. I suggest you torrent one of those endless American series and watch them all back to back.

True, and that is a good idea.

which American series is the longest?

i recently lost all my female best friends coz i went to uni and they failed all their A levels and so went off clubbing every night, which i don't do. one of the only ones i had lost just told me that the break up was all my fault, when it wasn't. and normally the person i would talk to to cheer me up is him. ..

Generalisations FTW!

You'll get over it in time. Go out and get to know your flatmates and people on your course a bit better.

What? Generalise much?

Only a little. But I feel that men's thoughts are easier then women's thoughts... That's why they don't have as many problems as us but they don't understand everything we say because when we say something we mean something else most of the time

The exact same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Distract yourself. Go out with your uni friends and have fun. That's what I've done. Now I'm at home for the weekend I've started to think about everything that's happened.
As long as I'm with my uni friends I seem to be ok.

So really, our failings are your fault then. Wouldn't say we have less problems, just we have a different way of going about them.

Hah, you may be right, but that's our fault for being confusing really

Well, some of them really are endless. West Wing went for 14 seasons or something absurd like that. The first ones are pretty good. Try a few, and get yourself addicted to one. My favourite is Six Feet (only 5 seasons). Then there's The Sopranos which I think went for ages too... HBO produces a load more things which are probably the same. Oh, and recently House MD isn't bad, just insanely formulaic and consists of one character + foils. Each series has like 22 episodes though

The Wire is amazing, and I'm reluctant to put it with the rest, since it's not really the same kind of show.

Er, anyway, I'd not reccommend just sitting inside watching stuff all day. But it's a reasonable way to stop yourself thinking about anything. Until you move on.

EDIT: having read your post above: go out and find new friends at uni? And work harder? These will both distract you. Do not go out and get drunk and pull random guys in the hope of it making you feel better though, it will probably just make you depressed and guilty; it's a way of giving yourself the illusion you're moving on when in fact you're not really dealing with anything.

I'm sorry to hear this, but believe me if nothing's to be done, even though seems impossible to believe now, time heals all wounds.

Men's thoughts aren't necessarily easier than women's thoughts. Just that men usually keep our thoughts to our selves and aren't as open as girls are.

@ OP, Do something that'll get your mind off of him. Get involved with a hobby and spend some time on it to keep your mind of him, also just go out socialising to make new friends.
