<Snipped quote by Guess Who>Not sure if you need to be hearing this right now, but I'm going to share this with you because I would've done the same to my younger self. If I had the means to talk to my younger self, that is. It's really stupid and cliche to say, but there are other guys and gals out there for you boss. I went through five relationships before I ended up with the woman of my nightmares. Each of them ended up in different nasty ways. Each break up, my fault or not, was painful. It happens. You're young. You have plenty of time to find someone else. It may be hard to think of finding someone else so freshly wounded, but you will. Cry your tears, beat your chest, and scream at the wall. Let it all out, then pick yourself back up and quit your snivelling so you can get back to enjoying your life. If you need anyone to talk to, you can rest assured in confiding in this crusty salt-dog.
If it helps comfort you any, I've been together with my wife for 8 years. Happily married for 3+ years. I'm no expert, but I'm not talking out of my ass. My wife and I have been through a lot of shit together, all sorts of Hells and High Waters. You'll find your co-op partner some other day.
Thanks harine, I appreciate it.
Most people have been giving me the whole "you'll find someone else" talk too, but that's it. All they have to say are those four words, so it helps knowing that you at least backed that up with some evidence. Honestly, only one person, my dad, has even mentioned the possibility of getting her back and while I'll give it a shot I'm not exactly hopeful it will work considering the way she did it. Again though, thank you for the words of encouragement.
