edit: I found out I was overreacting and upset when I wrote this but it was great for me to deal with the situation and I am sooo grateful I was able to do so. The part in bold is still valid if you make sure the person cares about you too. Things are already starting to get good. I'm pretty sure she is with somebody else now and anger is easier to deal with than sadness, for me. I decided that she hasn't cared for some time and she's a skankopotamus, pardon my language. I'm looking forward to pretty much everything, except the time between now and her leaving my house! I plan to become a better person starting now

I am not posting this thread for pity and please don't say anything negative because i'm having a rough time. Actually nothing need be posted, It's just getting it off my chest and I appreciate the ability to do so, Thanks.

I just want to remind everyone that if you have someone you care about: let them know every day that they are important to you. Dont sweat the small stuff, life is short no one is perfect, appreciate who someone is. And don't bring people down even if you are, be happy for people when they are and they will want to make you happy when you're not.

It's probably better if you don't read the rest. It's just sad and whiny. I bought a house last fall with my girlfriend of almost 3 years because I knew I wanted to be with her forever. It's a dump foreclosure for $65,000 that needed/needs everything fixed. I'd selfishly been waiting to propose because i wanted to get her to be more fucussed on us. She's very bubbly and free-spirited and just does what makes her happy in life which amounted to her sometimes doing things instead of coming home to me which made me jealous. I've been stressed about the house and my job is seasonal meaning I'm broke in the winter. subsequently I've been in an 5-6 month sad pessimistic rut, last winter too but not as bad. Little things make me happy like friends, my girlfriend(ex), working on my cars/ motorcycle and of course building lasers. I had everybody over on saturday and my girlfriend worked a close so she was home at 10 and was distant, hung out with me for 1/2 hour and went in. I gave her some time before checking on her and she just said she was going to bed. Wouldn't talk to me at all. The next morning when we woke up I tried to hug and talk to her and she said she wasn't happy anymore but I held her and said everything would be ok, and that I would make it better. We went to brunch with my mom and grandparents and I paid extra attention to her and tried to cheer her up to no avail, she told me it was over when we got back. The problem amounted to I told her too often things I didn't like, Stupid stuff like driving habits and and saying um and like too much. Also that I've been depressed for a long time. I've been counting the days to summer so I can start making money. I just started treatment for my bad skin that also gets me down and makes me self conscious. And I have a job change to go through this fall. All of which will get my life back on track and let me start thinking positive and focus on the future. I started running again as it's warm now, and frisbee golf (i have some pot-head friends). I will be seeing a lot more of my friends. I am not going to drink for 6 months minimum.She never told me when I said something bad or did something wrong, it just slowly built up until she didn't want me anymore. I really think that things would have turned around very shortly but she had enough. There's another guy too, a co-worker, it seems that she's just using him as a tow rope to pull herself out though, but still. He likes her but it doesn't seem like she's interested, just playing along for the confidence boost to leave me. We have some mutual friends and they see it the same. I took $5000 cash out to buy her a ring about 3-4weeks ago, but she left me at a friends house the weekend after so I decided to wait a little longer. I wrote this merely as therepy for myself and I do feel better. I'm sorry if I shouldn't have

Tough break man... Maybe the time apart will bring her back. Sometimes its just
some space that is needed.

Focus on yourself, do what you need to do, and it all falls into place at some point.

I hate to isolate one line of your post, and I really hate to say this. But...

I had a bad breakup at the end of high school for precisely the same reason. Looking back, I'm glad it happened sooner rather than later.

I've now ended up dating a girl who has stood by me during really tough personal times that I couldn't have gotten through alone. When it's all said and done, I'll actually owe my career to that breakup - I'd have never found out I'm a programmer.

I feel for you man. Life will look up.

We're in your corner.

Re: I got dumped on my birthday - appreciate your significant other

I think the reason he was concerned that someone would say something negative, is that there are a lot of folks who hide behind anonymity on the internet and enjoy causing people grief when they can. I'm hoping there's not many folks on LPF like that.

As far as the breakup goes, Drew -- I'm not particularly superstitious or religious, but I do believe in systems.. "Sometimes things happen for a reason."

as twhite828 said, you will likely look back and be a little bit thankful, as painful as that sounds right now. Your next relationship may be someone who is much more right, and resilient.

Though I know that's tough to think about now.

Sorry to hear this but it's is part of life sometimes it's not all fun ! and it's fine you posted this !

Now is the time to do exactly as you say improve your self and your self esteem will follow
for sure and when that is back I know you will find a girl who likes you for who you are !

And think of the fun you'll have girl shopping :eg:

Rember you have lots of friends here we don't care what you look like or what your job is, your one of US :beer:

try and have a good day go kiss a cat...

Re: I got dumped on my birthday - appreciate your significant other

^^^^Some good advice here Drew! I too can relate with how you feel. It seems my journey down lovers lane has had more than it's fare share of bumps.:can: It's really strange how two people who have so much in common can grow apart. I myself had lost track of all the disappointments, and heart aches, because it took me 25 YEARS to find my soul mate. Trust in yourself, and never give up. That's the only reason I finally succeeded, you just keep getting up!

Just be yourself and all of your cards will fall into place. no need to change who you are if your with someone who wants you to change maybe you shouldn't be with them.

Re: I got dumped on my birthday - appreciate your significant other

Thank you so much everyone! I just got back home. Spent the day out with a bunch of good friends, changed my oil and put a new drum on my car. I pretty much just told everyone I know and even though it's kind of embarrasing it worked great! Everyone is supportive and it made me see that not only is it not all my fault, but that I'm going to have all sorts of fun and get to do a lot of things that I wouldn't have. How do you just not communicate with someone until you dont like them anymore pretending your cool the whole time and then dump them on their birthday? I'm not the easiest person to get along with (by far) but just talk to me and I'll be honest with you and do my best. I think an edit to the title and op is necessary, although the comment in bold is definitely still true.

Here are some responses to the nice people who chimed in:
GoolGaul- that's funny my "hunting" instincts came right back today
aryntha- You're right, a troll comment would have kicked my butt earlier today. Oh and I want your rainbow but my mortgage just went up $230 bucks, wait, that's not that bad!
Flaminpyro- Thanks for the pm and actually I'll work on getting my pic up, who knows, maybe there's a cute girl who likes lasers that will happen upon me here. The ex would say, "lasers,lasers,lasers" to me if I exceeded one comment a day
lordjet- Bumpy for sure. I'm usually the calmest person ,but when it comes to "love", the opposite. And 25 years old? Or looking for 25 years, because I'm 27(2 days ago) and finding true love at 25 is pretty lucky/maybe your just that good!
BennyF- Yep, we both tried to change each other too much. I do want some changes for myself now though, mostly different ones.
lpstealth- Not fair is right! If I find out she is cheating, I'll think about the noodz;) Ithought about throwing all her birth control pills away, but it sounded kind of crazy in my head, maybe not?

If any of you ever need anything I can help with don't hesitate to ask. I owe all of you a lot.

Everyone has basically said everything that can be said, so I'll just add to keep on keeping on, especially with lasers! :)

And Drew, I see you are located in Minnesota, and guess what? Me too. :D

Also, I am a very good listener, and not to mention I have lots of lasers! If we aren't too far apart maybe we could meet and I could show you my collection!!! If you are as crazy about lasers as most everyone here is, that may cheer you up?

I am completely serious about this offer, so PM me if you would like to meet, I'll even buy you coffee or a drink. Because it is always a positive experience when a complete stranger buys you a beverage. (or in my limited experience it is :))

And I am truly sorry about the whole situation...as you can see we are all here for you on this forum.
