just broken up..

hey

i know this a typical thread as so many people seem to be breaking up on here but ive just broken up with my gf after seven months and i feel like sh*t. we've been so close and we really loved each other and then suddenly last nite she said it was never gonna work and stopped it. its not like her at all and i reckon its her parents (i'm just 17 and she's nearly 16 - but really mature). ive got things around me everywhere that remind me of her and i really can't see myself getting over this - i couldnt sleep last nite and felt so depressed. i can't say how much she meant to me and we always emailed/spoke/texted and wrote letters to each other, we were so deep into each other's lives that i can't believe she just ended it.

she lives a fair way away from me and so its obv not ideal but i always said i'd go any distance for her and she thinks we're too serious (which is right) but as i said i feel like sh*t.

i'm seeing some mates later today but i'll probably break down or something embarassing as i never stop thinking of her. i dunno what to say but if anyone recommended anything i'd appreciate it.. i'm trying to watch loadsa tv and distract myself

Thats harsh mate - my girlfriend did the same to me a week ago (refer to http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/t131910.html) so i know exactly how you feel.

Your both young, believe me i know you feel like you cant live without her but your definatly too young for commitment like that - have fun, dont be too serious! Save it for when your a bit older and want to settle down.

Read my thread and you will see this advice over and over.

Good luck and cheer up mate - i managed it and my g/f did the same after 2 and a half years!!!!

cheers yeah i guess it happens to everyone and ive gotta look at the positives
yeah just like motherless child said; you're hurt and you need time to go over it. Distracting yourself will just push the feelings down deeper so it will take you longer to get over her. :hugs:

the thing is that she's perfect and i could never get angry with her and i know she didn't want it to end but did so just because it would only get harder in the future and as it wouldnt have worked however hard we'd work at it (that make sense?)

It is really hard yeah. In a way the distance might help you to move on, which, contrary to how it seems at the moment, will happen in time. Don't bottle stuff up but talk about it as you have been doing..its all part of the process of coming to terms with things. Hopefully your mates will be sympathetic too..most of us have been there, and if not, will be. In time im sure you will be able to remember all the good times u had together and look back on things with a smile! Best of luck:smile:

Trust me - what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. OK you feel like you couldn't be any worse right now, but you're going to have to keep your hopes up and realise that eventually you WILL get over her. The worst thing to do now is sit in the house and cut yourself off with the real world - get out there with your friends and have fun!

When I broke up with my g/f although I felt like crap I realised I suddenly had a lot of free time to do things with my mates which I had missed while being with her! Kind of like renewed friendships....I still felt crap because of splitting up with her but good things came out of it :smile:

You're 17....at 17 I'd not even had a gf so consider yourself lucky, you'll find someone else eventually and look back on this as "that girl who you once went out with" :smile:

Cool :smile: ......just don't do what that other guy said and go punching walls, then you'll only end up in hospital with a broken hand :rolleyes:

And also what he said about "girls always messing us around" - sorry, but if she feels that way then that's just it.....I had to split up with my gf simply because I didn't have feelings for her anymore....I hated it because she loved me so much, but I couldn't carry on seeing her. I'm pretty sure she doesn't class this as me "messing her around" so just because a girl splits up with you don't always assume she's a bitch and doing it for fun or something - it's life and the majority of people will go through a number of relationships before they find one which they are comfortable in :smile:

sowwwyyyyy people... just having probs with my girlfriend. i punched a wall and it hurt but at least it made me forget my probs... i'm gonna go lie on the grass and indulge in my self defeat (heh)
Just want to point something out in your post:

peperharow
we've been so close and we really loved each other


peperharow
i really can't see myself getting over this - i couldnt sleep last nite and felt so depressed.


peperharow
we were so deep into each other's lives


peperharow
i never stop thinking of her.



peperharow
she thinks we're too serious


To be honest it sounds like you had a one sided relationship and you may have pushed her away with getting too serious too quickly. You're both quite young and though it may have felt like love, you'll find real love one day. From what you've said, it doesn't sound like her parents ended it for you both. She may not be ready for a heavy relationship, so don't push anymore. Get on with your life and you'll find it easier.

Now that's a great idea, either go fight with a friend or hurt yourself someway, in a nice way, I don't mean like cut your wrists or something like that.

Yesterday cycling home from the pub I couldn't stop thinkin about my girl but then I tried cycling without holding the handles and it became wobbly and i fell and hurt myself, seriously =) then I didn't think about her for atleast an hour. Try it!

It still hurts though :eek:
It might not seem it now, but you'll heal and you'll move on. i did with my ex, and i even knew we were splittng up, which isn't a great thing to have over your head. it broke my heart but you will be ok, and who knows what'll be around the corner. be thankful you knew her, and learn from your relationship. good luck
