I never had that feeling, because my ex already had a new boyfriend before we broke up

[–]merrell0 46 points47 points ago

yeah...

But hey, it could be worse. My ex cheated on me when we were still together, then proceeded to lie to all of my friends that I was abusive. So, instead of just losing the girl I loved, I also lost all of my close friends. Guess they weren't that close considering they took her side without even giving a chance to listen to me. /shrug

[–]deaddodo 47 points48 points ago

Are you me? My ex did similiar. Except cheated on me with multiple men, got a couple sugardaddies, convinced me getting into swinging would be good for us to stop her cheating and then used that to somehow make me out to be an abusive cheater. On top of this she stabbed me in the hand (which she got off scot free from) and later when i confronted her i ended up in jail for "domestic violence" (i never layed a hand on her except to restrain her from attacking me further and breaking more stuff) and crashed my motorcycle 1 week before breaking up with me.

[–]Orbitrix 187 points188 points ago*

Tis the way of the world. As a man I've been single for 6 months to a few years after every single one of my relationships...

But every girl I've ever dated (and most of my male friend's X's) have bounced from one relationship to the next in a mater of.... days... some times negative days (cheating). Every. Single. Time. They are never without a shoulder to cry on for very long at all.

Meanwhile most of my guy friends and myself can go through extended periods, months to years long, of being single and emotionally lost after a bad break up.

Its my opinion that at least 65% of women who start having active sexual relationships are never truly single again for the rest of their lives for more than a week or 2, maybe a month or 2 at the most, a majority of the time.

Men are expect to go on the hunt, to ask the girl out, and to be the initiator. So all women have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. I'm sure this contributes to this phenomenon.

Obviously these are opinions and generalizations that dont apply to everyone, but its mostly true.. I think most average people with experience can tell you this is mostly the case.

I am sort of bitter about it, so I wont deny a slight bias. Its annoying how easy it is for girls to rebound compared to guys in most cases involving average heterosexual circumstances.

Girls always seem to parachute softly into someone else's arms :( While us guys are just expected to be tough.

[–]kinkakinka 42 points43 points ago

It's funny, I'm a girl, and I actually have found the opposite. I'm single for at least a year and a half between relationships, and my exes are ALWAYS in new relationships before me.

[–]mareisfun 6 points7 points ago

My ex was in multiple relationships after we broke up from a four year relationship. I made the same face ^ the first time. He had multiple relationships while I was single the entire time. However, all my waiting paid off because my current boyfriend of a year is an infinite times better than my ex, and my ex has been single for over a year now. Hehe

[–]scroof 68 points69 points ago

As a girl, I can say you are spot on. It is a lot easier for girls. After my last break-up however, I have realised being alone is way better than being with the wrong person. I am currently up to 11 months of singledom - and life is sweet. Good luck though bro, and nothing wrong in being a bit bitter!

[–]Wolfszeit 55 points56 points ago

and nothing wrong in being a bit bitter!

Really? Sometimes I really wish I was just a heartless motherfucker.

[–]ggrundeis 6 points7 points ago

Happy cakeday you heartless mother fucker!

[–]Wolfszeit 12 points13 points ago

Happy cakeday you heartless mother fucker!

Awww, thank you!

[–]brussels4breakfast 12 points13 points ago

As a female, I also say he is spot on. Even though it's easier for women to rebound, it doesn't always work out, in fact, I would say it doesn't work out the majority of the time.

I am guilty of the rebound thing myself and I wish I had never done it. I wish I had just dated and not gotten involved. The problem with dating is that it seems that men just want to have sex and they don't really care about getting to know a woman to be friends with. This has been my experience and I am only speaking for myself.

I would like to spend the rest of my life by myself. I regret jumping into so many relationships and I will say this: None have been quality and even though a couple of them have lasted, they weren't good.

I have wondered many, many times why more females feel the need to be in a relationship than men and can't come up with just one answer. I'm sure there are many reasons.

[–]Halon5 10 points11 points ago

I only want to have a relationship with someone I am already friends with so I know that we share interests, get along well etc, in fact I often don't develop romantic feelings towards women until I've known them for a bit. Problem there is that by that stage women usually only see me as a good friend. I find it impossible to just approach random women.

[–]drgreedy911 4 points5 points ago

The king of the friend zone has spoken

[–]EcureuilSecret 15 points16 points ago

I'm a girl and I agree with that for the most part. However that doesn't always make it easier. Actually, it can be hard when you want to be single for a while and instead of support almost every guy you know is instead falling over himself trying to be next in line. Instead of having time to grieve over your relationship you're already feeling bad about having to explain to someone new why you don't want to date them. It can be more isolating than you'd think to constantly be discovering that most of your friends actually just want to sleep with you. This also works as a "friend zone" rant: some women who have mostly male friends end up feeling very lonely because majority of the time after making a new friend you feel close enough with to call a good or real friend they get drunk and admit they want you. It's horrible.

[–]RagingHardon 28 points29 points ago

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

Agreed. I call it the Woodwork Phenomenon. The last two LTRs I got out of left me suddenly crawling in creepers looking to cheer me up with their dicks. Thanks to social networking like Facebook these fellows can now include random exes who never got over it, guys from old jobs, old professors, friends of friends... Just creepin out the woodwork like fucking termites. And you're vulnerable and looking for friends to talk to so it doesn't fully register what their intentions are until some drunken or late night conversation where you have to reject them and feel like shit on top of already being heartbroken.

[–]Lab_Monkey 7 points8 points ago

You are definitely right on. I don't think I've been single for more than a few months since I was 16 or 17 years old. All my relationships had lasted at least 2 years, and ended for various reasons (though never cheating by either side.)

My last boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me out of nowhere because he suddenly decided he wanted kids and knew I wasn't going to give him any. A couple weeks after the initial break up shock was over, I reconnected (via social communication) with a lot of people that I had lost touch with after I started dating my now-ex.

One person happened to be a gentleman whom I was good friends with years ago, but we were both in relationships at the time. He became the same good friend again as he was in the past. He became my support during the awful process of removing my ex from my life and moving out. We were both single now, and became close. Months later, we're dating. (sex came with dating, not before.)

He had been single for about 1.5 years and I had been single for 3 months when we began to "date."

Everything you say is true...I've had at least a dozen guys come after me since my ex left me. I would have had to do nothing to be in a relationship again right away if I had desired...or at least had several fuck buddies. (For what it's worth, I've never slept with anyone outside of a relationship.)

The guy I'm dating now...I initiated our rekindled friendship...he didn't chase me like a dog after a bitch in heat. I don't really feel the need to be in a relationship to feel complete....it just kind of works out that way...I'm never looking for someone...someone just finds me. This time, though, we sort of found each other mutually.

Try breaking up with the mother of your child. Years and years of frequent interaction left and there's nothing I can do about it.

[–]N0Ultimatum 29 points30 points ago

Just block her. that's what I did. Even though we'll still talk from time to time. The block is still in full effect. Her, new bf, her best friend. You know. Don't want to hear any bullshit about her online.

[–]meaintrussell 3 points4 points ago

Baby steps.

[–]Malicious_Mallard 10 points11 points ago

Oath. Best thing is to unsubscribe from her, her new guy and her best friend(s) on Facebook. You're still counted as a friend so you don't have to deal with any drama on that front if/when you run into them, and you don't have to read anything about her. It's simple and cuts her out of your life without any social repercussions.

[–]Punchee 2 points3 points ago

People just don't understand this well enough. Don't be friends. Don't keep them in your phone/facebook. Destroy everything that reminds you of them. Burn that motherfucking memory to the ground. Triggers are a bitch and really fuck up the healing process. Also get a cat.

[–]sugarfixkid 4 points5 points ago

While in general I fully support this... sometimes you and them are both part of the same friend group, and will always be a part of each others lives. Unless you want to give up your friends.

Sometimes that's just the best route though...

[–]childplay 182 points183 points ago

[–]letsRACEturtles 108 points109 points ago

you think that, but then you see them and suddenly NOSTALGIA

[–]childplay 169 points170 points ago

Nostalgia? Yes, like remembering why the break-up happened in the first place and then peaceful serenity knowing you don't ever have to deal with that again.

[–]Bubbascrub 102 points103 points ago

[–]GiJose 3 points4 points ago

Here with you. Time heals.

[–]siddiks 5 points6 points ago

slowly, time heals, slowly

[–]sangriadvx 14 points15 points ago

and time gets undone when you then decide to talk to them after 2 years, because "screw it it's been 2 years right?" Nope. Rookie mistake I guess.

[–]zgh5002 5 points6 points ago

And it is really that simple. There is a reason you're not together anymore, and it's usually not pretty. Take off the rose colored glasses and realize it wasn't working, but don't dwell on it too long, there are plenty of other interesting people out there who are just dying to meet you.

[–]Doebino 14 points15 points ago

[–]WhitestAfrican 154 points155 points ago

And that's why I deleted her from facebook so I never have to see that shit...until I hear it from other people... fuckers

[–]igacek 42 points43 points ago

Remember to delete her friends that you added, too. Sucks reading through the news feed then boom, one of her friends posted something, which is fine, except for she commented on the post and you see her profile pic of her and another guy. I just want to forget :'( thanks Facebook!

[–]HoaryPlatypus 31 points32 points ago

I just don't have facebook. I also don't have any friends or anybody to forget, so there's that.

[–]zgh5002 10 points11 points ago

Just block your ex man. You'll never see anything pertaining to her again.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Why avoid it when you can face it? I mean, if you resist something, the more painful it will be. Just face it. She was a big part of you. Maybe you loved her but never told her and maybe you didn't even have the balls to admit it to yourself. But you embrace all that shit, and face the pain but force yourself to act like a man, do the right thing and make sure you have an awesome life. That's all you CAN do.

Than way, the next time you'll bump into her on the bus or whatnot, you won't be overwhelmed with self-pity, you'll be peaceful. And you'll think "There's the girl that made me become better. Cheers to her. Whore!"

[–]ITripFatPpl 2 points3 points ago

After having that happen to me a few times, it was nice to be the one with the upper hand for once (Happened to me for the first time last week, had an ex on my facebook, saw another post of her and her new boyfriend (who I know is controlling, from mutual friends) and decided just to cut her out of my life for good, before vice versa).

She texted me asking me why I removed her, then again the next day saying "Fine, don't reply, have fun with your new girl Candice".

I'm not sleeping with Candice, she's actually just a really attractive drinking buddy who's a good friend of mine, but there's no reason not to let my ex's mind wander (Just found myself bitter at my ex, filled my mobile uploads with pictures of me and Candice together at the club), also nice to know she was checking my profile that often that it only took her an hour to notice at 3am. Glad I got to be the one to walk away for once, feels good man.

[–]the_second 92 points93 points ago

And that's why I not only deleted her from Facebook, but also left my job, moved to another town and went to university and then when I called my best friend about two years later to arrange a visit that stupid bitch picked up the phone. >_<

[–]ScottCarmichael 14 points15 points ago

So...did you still visit?

[–]the_second 46 points47 points ago

I invited him anyway, yes. He agreed to drive up here, I planned some things to do in town and in the end he just didn't show up. So, it wasn't me being the asshole.

[–]ScottCarmichael 20 points21 points ago

Oh...I didn't actually expect you to answer. And it wasn't even a funny/evil reply. :(

[–]OIP 4 points5 points ago

jesus christ man, there's just some things you don't talk about in public!

[–]justalurker89 12 points13 points ago

Gah, that's why I hate Facebook. Back then when you broke up, no one usually knew until you accidentally bummped into each other. Then the awkwardness was at least shared.

[–]spyson 5 points6 points ago

Now you get to play this awesome passive aggressive game, yay.

[–]pringles_original 27 points28 points ago

[–]WhosThatGirl_ItsRach 25 points26 points ago

[–]pitfal 95 points96 points ago

[–]Calvinhedge 22 points23 points ago

I'm sure this will get buried at this point but I've found the best move I made after getting dumped was deleting and blocking her. Looking at her profile always set me back, and not seeing it in about a month has been so helpful. Lots of people think its immature, but if it helps you get better then fuck it, it dont matter what people think!

[–]tobbern 34 points35 points ago*

We all know how it feels. Here's what I've learned EDIT: Applies to both genders (and all orientations derp)

  1. Someone has been through this before you - so you can do it too. Believe in yourself.
  2. Before your ex, there were friends. Go see them. You must have at least one friend who she doesn't know, and who you'd like to catch up with. You’re going to hang out with him for a while now, and then another dude, and then another. 3 is a good number, so your group of 4 friends should build a real sausage-community now, go to dinners, movies and other fun stuff together.
  3. Instead of looking for girls to date, just try to enjoy being single. I know that's not what a lot of you want to hear, but it's important that you are comfortable being around yourself. Look, the sun shines whether you’re single or not. If you don’t get the wisdom of this, then sit on a fucking chair on your porch and stare at the sun till you get it. Eventually you will. Also, if the breakup was really bad, then you need to sort some shit out. Chances are this affected your confidence. Take some time in the sun to reflect on what the bad times were. Then, remember the good times. Grasp the best memory those days, and make that your label for why you don’t regret being with her. She may have been a cheater, or she may have broken your heart – but she still meant something to you. Find out what it was, and leave it at that. You can reminisce when you’re old.
  4. Chances are that you're male if you're reading this, so hit the gym. It doesn't matter what your body type is, scrawny, average or buff dude. Go now, run some cardio for 25-30 minutes, and lift weights for 20 minutes. If it's the first time you've lifted weights, then it will be a life-changing experience. If it's the first time you've lifted weights since you dated her, you'll notice your sex drive will start to pick up again. Most importantly: Take breaks, one day off between every session works for me. (If you don’t have an available gym, you should get the following: One big rugsack for hiking, fill it with firewood or a large tank of water. This will be your weight. Now go for a 45 minute hike, and add/remove weight to build stamina. Repeat.)
  5. Now you can go look at women. On the street, the bar, the mall, whatever. But don't go dating them. Just have fun with your friends. This is what your focus should be on. The exception to this rule: If a girl offers you a drink, take it. Besides that, no hunting. Fap if you must to get the stress out, but don't do it more than once a day. Try this for a month and see yourself turn around. You need to appreciate physical and intellectual beauty. Mind and body.
  6. Since this is a list, I recommend that you buy a dayplanner, or make a schedule for your month. Look up the cinemas in your area. What awesome movies are coming out this month? Mark them on your calendar. Likewise for games. If you're a gamer, there's lots of great movies coming out this month and the next. Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, and then there's the other great stuff, like Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, etc. You have time for this now. Have fun.

Check FB for birthdays, parties, etc. And go to them. Avoid your ex. If she sees you, greet her politely but curtly, and walk over to a new group. Talk to them instead. Make new friends. You’re living your life now, and you are priority 1 now.

This advice isn't meant to prevent you from becoming a loner. It's meant for you to remember that you lived a full life before you met That Girl, and that you were an awesome guy before you met her. Life is for living, now go live it. If you ever feel shitty and want advice on cool stuff to do, come back to Reddit. The sun shines no matter what. Go get some sun.

[–]Dynasty471 22 points23 points ago

That will forever be American Online. They sent my family like dozens of discs. The least I can do is immortalize that acronym in my memory.

[–]emberella 2 points3 points ago

And yet so adorable at the same time. I want that kid.

[–]MisterNiceGuy001 6 points7 points ago

That gif. Is so cute and sad, I smiled and almost cried. Fuck man, dam kids gotta be so cute.

[–]NoStrangertolove 6 points7 points ago

Could be worse. Imagine spending all your money/time fighting a court system that favors the mother because the children are under the age of 5. Begging for more time as your kids drift apart from you, as your ex moves to just the border of the legal limit that she can move away, just out of spite.

Imagine your kids being raised by another man.

Feels bad man. Feels real bad.

Mine broke up with me after a year. We lived an hour apart, talked everyday. Out of the blue I stop hearing from her. After two days of nothing I hear from her, only to have to listen as she tells me she met a guy with a "monster cock" and she's done with me. She said she was worried about doing the break up in person because she was scared that I would "cut her legs off" (I never laid a hand on her) So I then had to figure out what to do with the engagement ring I had. I already asked her dad for her hand in marriage and her mother gave me her grandmothers wedding band, I bought the diamond.

[–]grubtubs 5 points6 points ago

Haha, this little kid is adorable.

[–]Digg_Brought_Me_Here 31 points32 points ago

The fact that you can see it and are still looking at her profile means she was out of a relationship well before she broke up with you. Delete her shit and move on.

[–]Subhazard 7 points8 points ago*

Huh? That doesn't make any damn sense.

[–]Reluix 6 points7 points ago

Glad somebody said it.

[–]Cuil_Hand_Luke 6 points7 points ago

I have to be honest, I don't follow, what does he mean?

[–]WazzuMadBro 13 points14 points ago

I dated a girl with daddy issues whose entire life revolved around me. While we loved eachother I think neither one of us was "in love" with eachother after awhile and we became sort of an old married couple type who generally didnt enjoy each others company.

Finally one day I had enough after she wouldnt stop nagging me for driving too fast and when i dropped her off i said i couldnt do it anymore. I broke up with her and figured it was best because its what we both wanted. Only a month later i looked her up on myspace (this was 2007) and she was in a Xmas pic with some guy with hearts plastered all over the pic and I was like ,"WTF are you fucking serious? 2 years with me and we never had some lame lovey dovey pic like that but you make one with this asshole after 1 month?!"

That shit tore me up and i spiraled down into a dark place. Eventually i recovered and a few years later I cant even recall what she looked like. I hear her life is pretty shitty now as well which is actually too bad because she was a good person and deserved to be happy. I just wasnt ready to be the man to give that to her I wanted a girlfriend on my own terms at the time. I sometimes wonder if she feels the same way, or if she ever thinks about me at all. But its only a fleeting curiosity these days.

TL;DR= Time really does heal all wounds. But at the very beginning of something like this do whatever you can not to slip off the edge because it only lengthens the time it takes to become happy again.

[–]JeremyClarksonVoice 2 points3 points ago

Thank you for this piece of advice.

[–]Wolfszeit 2 points3 points ago

Time really does heal all wounds.

I wish I could believe you bro... Link. :(

[–]ideeditmayne 4 points5 points ago

Violently grips chest. Nnngghhhhhh!! Too....many.....bad......memories.

[–]FantasticSlams 29 points30 points ago

I have just finally succeeded at this situation. My ex broke up with me RIGHT before Christmas, breaking my heart and practically ruining the holiday for me. Then, on Valentine's Day, she e-mails me and says "Hey, I might be dating again soon" (which hurt REAL bad)

So I finally started feeling a little better, and a couple of good friends of mine helped me through the breakup, and they set me up with someone. Now I'm dating this girl who is brilliant, funny, and WAY better looking than my ex. On paper she is more successful, and she's even younger and thinner. It turns out that my ex knows the girl I'm dating too(I had no idea she knew her), and she felt the need to e-mail me with "Hey, I'm finally starting a new relationship, too. Yay for us!" Which was fine, I guess, but the real success lies in the fact that she was dumped by her new guy pretty quickly.

Sometimes you win. Sometimes you win big. I'm in my late twenties, and I've never won this big at the "upgrade from your ex after being dumped" game.

[–]FantasticSlams 13 points14 points ago

To be really honest, though, I don't really mind who she dates and I kinda hope she is happy soon. But the petty side of me liked the fact that she was dumped, just a little bit.

[–]donbum2004 4 points5 points ago

I know how you feel bro. It is awesome to be dating first before your ex. and then she got dumped. You want her to be happy, but you want to get there first.

[–]GreenPlasticJim 6 points7 points ago

Reason #237 Facebook is unhealthy

[–]EmptyCeiling 2 points3 points ago

It's a ploy. Fuck her.

[–]itsdinnertime 2 points3 points ago

Yeah I deleted my ex from Facebook to avoid that shit. Couple months later I hear that she is pregnant with her new bf.

Relieved it isn't me.

Do the happy dance.

[–]OfficialVerification 3 points4 points ago

i need the video of that gif

[–]Reignofzane 2 points3 points ago

You know what you should fucking do? Go into her friends list, and find all her family members between the ages of 18-60. Then randomly select one female, message her and ask if she'd like to catch up over a cup of coffee. Then, assuming the date went well, FUCK HER, FUCK HER LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER FUCKED A 50 YEAR OLD WOMEN BEFORE. And then find another one of her relatives and do the same until you have fucked every last fucking one of them. And when your done fucking them update your status "Just fucked [insert name here] 6/10". Then once you have fucked every female with your ex's last name, get a girlfriend. Marry the fuck out of her. That otta' show the bitch.

[–]PrinceofSpades 4 points5 points ago

Honestly, sounds like you let her win the break-up. You shouldn't even know who she is afterwards, let alone give a fuck what she does with her life. Make it so whatever she does, you know it doesn't hold a candle to whatever you decide to do.

[–]Gatorama 6 points7 points ago

Stay strong my brother.

[–]drinkingtea 6 points7 points ago

cheer up, friend. you're great :)

[–]Belugasaurus 5 points6 points ago

She dumped you... Into a sea of cock-hungry women.

[–]megusta_internet 2 points3 points ago

Anyone have the original video for this?

[–]AkiraDeathStar 2 points3 points ago

[–]steinmas 2 points3 points ago

Means it's time to get out there tiger.

[–]ShredwardNorton 2 points3 points ago

you look pretty young to be dating. Plenty of tail in preschool

[–]thunderx2000 2 points3 points ago

That sucks so much ass. My ex and I broke up because I found out that she got drunk and fucked another guy. She decided it was best I didn't know about it, but I found out through one of her friends. She finally admitted it after I told her that one of her friends thought I should know about it. That saved me a lot of heartache, considering she is now in a relationship with said guy and tried to get mad at me for not giving a shit about her anymore.

[–]phammy 2 points3 points ago

This honestly made me tear up. Fuck my emotions.

[–]DiamondsOnTheInside 2 points3 points ago

/r/funny my ass! I just almost cried.

[–]pomegranati 2 points3 points ago

my ex was eyeing a guy before we broke up. As soon as we broke up, I unsubscribed from her feeds and refused to check on it because I fear that they may have become serious.

[–]Lasterba 2 points3 points ago

All my feel, bro.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

You people are way to liberal with who your Facebook friends with...delete that bitch

[–]mesofire 2 points3 points ago

staying friends with your ex...

beta mode right there

[–]SeaGuard 2 points3 points ago

My ex had a new guy in less than a month. I've still remained single since then; the break up happened last November.

Honestly, the fact that you're single and comfortable being alone makes you the bigger person.

Some girls get really insecure after a break up and will go for the next guy who comes along so they can prove to themselves that they're desirable.

Though I haven't talked to my ex in a while, it still hurts thinking that she screwing some asshole.

[–]K_Swag 2 points3 points ago

Why the hell is a sad face baby so DAMN cute? I want to put cat ears on him and name him pepito.

[–]nosferatu_zodd 31 points32 points ago*

bitches are a dime a dozen man. Think about it like this, you only liked the chick cuz you thought you were gonna spend together forever right? Well you aren't, so deal with it and go fuck all those hoes you wanted. You know you want to, cuz the real girl of your dreams is out there and she doesn't want you crying over your ex who was no good for you anyway.

[–]timmah1991 13 points14 points ago

A little rough around the edges, but I like it. Probably the only bit of relationship advice I will remember. Thank you, nosferatu

[–]Poggalogg 17 points18 points ago

Remember, sometimes you miss the memories, not the person.

[–]Punchee 4 points5 points ago

So fucking this. The familiarity is all we ever miss. Look at it critically and you will see why it didn't work out and how that bitch was actually not all that great to begin with.

[–]baitingforyears 5 points6 points ago

You could do better, don't you worry.

Goddamnit people like you!

[–]Anticonn 4 points5 points ago

Congrats! Now you can move on without any second thoughts!

[–]Metalasanartform 4 points5 points ago

I know that feel bro....feels bad.

[–]FatDouglas 3 points4 points ago

At least she isn't dating your neighbor....

[–]D_Robb 1 point2 points ago

My nephew could do that. He'd literally look like this :c ...Felt horrible laughing at how good he could frown.

[–]SupSupportSona 1 point2 points ago

Or you could just unfriend her... unless ofc she's the dramatic facebookeverythigninmylife type and watch as it burns.

[–]cz-cz-cz-czechitout 2 points3 points ago

This is 95% of the reasoning behind 95% of the people I'm friends with on facebook. I love watching bitches get fat and watching dudes knock bitches up. N-not... like... literally... I guess...

[–]butt2face 1 point2 points ago

I feels ya bro.

[–]Jeffreykins 1 point2 points ago

i feel you man, i would hate to see my current gf with anyone. just thinking about it breaks my heart

[–]flowstoneknight 1 point2 points ago

Wow it's like that baby instantly gained 80 years.

[–]Chizum 1 point2 points ago

I know how that feels man. Feels bad man.jpg

[–]joannamon 1 point2 points ago

upboat :c

[–]Facechild 1 point2 points ago

Same thing happening to me right now, this post cheered me up today, kudos.

[–]the_second 1 point2 points ago

Nah, being the bigger person and all, I didn't. He just didn't show up and that was that, but better imho than me being a revengeful Rumpelstiltskin.

[–]rasdouchin 1 point2 points ago

thats kinda right on the money

[–]Taylorseim 1 point2 points ago

What did the girl you were having sex with at that time think when you made that face?

(whatever you would say)

Then you were doing it wrong.

[–]kingofbigmac 1 point2 points ago

My 2 ex's got new bf's on the same week. Sad day. I did meet a girl and we banged and she stopped talking to me for some reason. She said she likes me, yadda yadda. I get no communication afterwards. Then a 2 weeks later, another girl I talk to says I am a nice guy. Of course it went no where. A week later she's in a relationship. WTF. I am putting girls on the back burner and going to lose 70 pounds!

[–]FoxyGrampa 1 point2 points ago

She has a Facebook? You'll be fine

[–]Kaoslisa 1 point2 points ago

Everything happens for a reason and in time you'll move on and find someone better who will treat you properly.

[–]GeorgeTaylorG 1 point2 points ago

This is probably the worst thing that has come from social media. You just learn things about people that you don't need to know.

[–]hellomylover 1 point2 points ago

Good times! Now you can move on : )

[–]swishkb 1 point2 points ago

Im dreading this moment.

[–]slowslowhaste 1 point2 points ago

Remind yourself, shes your ex for a reason. It didn't work out, don't dwell on it press on.

[–]NrwhlBcnSmrt-ttck 1 point2 points ago

At least she's not dating someone you know, and that someone isn't her own cousin's ex. Gah

[–]SayaV 1 point2 points ago

sometimes I feel the same, OP, but most probably she wasn't worthy. What we all gotta do is look forward to a new chapter in our lives, filled with new experiences with new, better people.

[–]aussiemedstudent 1 point2 points ago

Well...... I am trying to ignore my ex's face book updates. We had been going out for a 4 years. After we broke up, it was 4 months before she had someone else living in her room.

My heart.... well. It is pretty much broken.

[–]qubqub 1 point2 points ago

Can someone please tell me where this adorable gif is from?

[–]muscle_city 1 point2 points ago

Mehhhh don't sweat it. She's some douche's problem now. Now get out there and hunt pussy with a rifle!

[–]brassass2828 1 point2 points ago

My ex's bf had her in a relationship on fb before she was my ex. Very messy situation. That Feel.jpg

[–]PleaseDontStalkMe 1 point2 points ago

Did you forget about Reddits first rule of break ups? Delete from Facebook, lawyer up, hit the gym!

[–]DogPencil 1 point2 points ago

THIS is why you block your ex's updates on FB. Don't delete her entirely. That will make you look like a little bitch. Just block her updates and do not go to her timeline.

[–]st403420 1 point2 points ago

this post made me make the exact same face. big internet hugs, OP
