I'm mostly kidding though- being in a relationship is great.... But you will occasionally miss being single. Take advantage of it.

One of my girlfriends cheated on me when I was around 21, and we were living together. She told me something about never paying attention to her, but I don't remember- wasn't really listening...

It was rough for a while, but worked out great in the long run- I finished my degree in Europe and travelled for about a year, then met the wife... Would never have happened though if I was tied down with the cheater.

The thing I'd be most pissed about is that you were just spending time overseas and apparently faithful to this girl back home...man, what a wasted opportunity. Do you have the funds to go back and enjoy yourself a bit more as a single guy?

Sally Albright: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: You only think you do.
Sally Albright: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry Burns: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: How do you know?
Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally Albright: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry Burns: I guess not.
Sally Albright: That's too bad. You were the only person I knew in New York.
You mean you didn't have a gif that had nothing to do with the thread instead?

My thoughts too... Unless he travelled to the UK, in which case he did himself a favor!

Nobody should be emotionally destroyed by the end of a relationship at the age of 25.

If you were my age and had invested 4 or 5 years, then be crushed. But at 25 be grateful and incredulous that you had a relationship that lasted that long and goes against all the rules of god and man.

Wait until you're older before you get all crushed and wrecked over a breakup. When you're young, your recovery period and getting on the next hours should be measured in terms of hours.

I tend to disagree with this as it seems to trivialize the relationships young people have the ability to get into. It's not always about the hookers and blow at 25, and if you invest 3 years into a relationship, whether you're a brittle old man, or a young sprout, it shows you're committed to it and actually, generally, in love. Have a woman cheat on you at 25 or 45, after 3+ years together, and it's going to take longer than a few hours to get over it.

Ok, I exaggerated, she cheated, he should be relieved that he got out before something even worse happen.

But younger people haven't had 20 years of being beaten down by the world, and by woman.

It shouldn't take all that long to get over it and get on with it.

Wait for a while until that thin crust of jade grows over your emotional firewall.

Jeez, I could have been with this other very attractive Danish girl in my time away, but nope, I stuck it out to come back to this.

Anyway, this whole thread helped way more than I thought it would.

Pretend she died in the war. Get drunk and cry a bit. Then, realize she is gone forever. Tell everyone she died in the war. Don't specify which war, just "a war."
Befriend a bear, if possible. Go to Chinese Associations and meet people. Join a gang of toughs. Soon, you'll be able to move on.

I commend your loyalty and commitment.

Unfortunately they don't pin a medal on your chest for it.

Yeah, I know. But that bit of self-righteous bitching had to be made.

I took Tron's advice from an earlier thread and bought a swanky tie that I used to dry my tears.

I like the idea of joining a group of toughs.

Preferably, street toughs.
