Ath, WTH

dude i just read your post,i couldnt believe what i was reading,i cried so hard when i was reading it,your case is almost exactly the same as mine,im new in the forum by the way,the only difference between your case and my case is that i am 24,my gf is 24,she left me because she couldnt wait for me anymore,we have been in a long distance relationship for 1 in our 4 years of being together,and the game i was playing was metal gear online that stole my attention from her.the pain i am feeling now is beyond words,she told me that we have to stop our relationship just yesterday and i agreed but i still tried to win her back but when she told me that she likes a guy from work,i realized that i should give up,i believed her when she told me that she hasnt dated the guy yet,but at the same time i believed her for telling me that she likes him for being kind and giving her attention,i gave her up just to protect myself from being hurt more,she was also the love of my life,my first girlfriend,my first kiss and my first(you know what i mean).she asked me a lot when i will be marrying her,i wasnt ready then but as i was getting everything set up for the big surprise wedding proposal 2 months from now on her birthday,all of this happened.i feel sick and i dont have the appetite to eat,everywhere i look it is her face that i see,i couldnt let go even if i already told her.

I'm new here myself.. but this place helps.

I don't feel I have any right to give advice at this point in my life. What I can say is I emphathize with you, more than you could know. I know that sick feeling, I have it even now. I can tell you what helped me a small bit. Keeping your mind off of her helps, it's possible for short periods of time. I've been told that time in and of itself is the greatest thing. It can make them realize their loss, and/or it can slowly take away your pain.

I know what you're going through.. and I wish it on no-one.

There's several good people here who give much better advice than me. But for now.. just know I feel for ya. I truly do.

What the ****?

Use PM's, you cockbites.

6,984 posts to date, something tells me you have a lot to say. You have a problem with me responding to a thread addressed to me? Perhaps this guy needs more than just me, try and help.

hahaha @ Frasbee... they were having a moment.... you had to butt in... :P

damn man... i think they should ban these video games, if its causing serious problems between relationships...

Ban.. maybe. I'd support it to an extent.

Some things establish a physical dependency, videogames do not. It's a personal thing. But, I do think it should be treated along the same lines as traditional addiction. You have no idea how ill I would have been to my girlfriend, friends, and family for doing something about it for me (like delete all my work I put into it) or sat me down and really told me and made me realise what I was doing, but if that "intervention" had taken place, I strongly believe I'de not be in this situation. And maybe that's not even their job.

As for having a moment, when I posted my own issue, several people chimed in with encouraging words and advice. It helped me. I was trying to help someone else. I've never really been a forum person, but this place seems different.

i was only kidding about banning it... and yes, this place is different... i dont know any of these people, and none of them know me... yet im, somehow, pulled to this forum every few hours (even when im at work, as i am now)

frasbee theres nothing gay about sharing something in common,thanks for reading anyway.
