I've just been dumped.
Well, fuck you, dumper boy: I quit first.

*Click*
In the (probably futile) hope that it makes you feel better. :(.

Note - clickage doesn't mean that I like the fact that you've been dumped, obviously.

As you is Gorjus
I cannot see any problem in this, as you make males *swoon* anyways.
His loss, etc, and a click for being CHCB- no other reason needed, really.

Sorry to hear that.
It's hard getting an ego blow like that, but at the same time... well, move on to something better, ya know? There are enough willing males on b3ta, I'm sure...

And look at it this way: at least you weren't dumped by an ex-stripper like I was. Talk about feeling like a total loser...

Suggestion
Might I suggest that the males on the board spend some time today commenting in here on the *obvious* gorgeousness of the Messianic one who is known as CHCB?

nah, no need. I'm not fishing for confidence boosts, just ranting. I'll live. Just venting my humiliation. Stupid thing is, it wasn't going to go anywhere, I was far more interested in someone else entirely, and his reasons for dumping me were pretty sketchy anyway, yet still it stings. Yeah, I'm doing a lot of crying, but I think I'm crying for a lot of other things that are wrong, not just about him.

Also, I don't have any other quitting stories for this week.

@Loon - ex-stripper? Ouch!

You have no idea. Really.
Actually, I'll post this story on its own, as it sorta fits.
( The Resident Loon Not a demographic. Do not measure., Mon 26 May 2008, 5:34, closed)

Hints for anyone dumping anyone else:
try the direct and honest approach, e.g. "it isn't working, let's just call it a day". (I would've agreed.)

Do not try the I've-been-drinking-all-day-and-want-to-pick-a-fight-approach, e.g. "you're just like all the other women" (what? Female?).

You can't beat:

"It's not me - it's you"

I'm sorry to hear that
On the plus side, I'm single, and you know where to find me.

Just follow the trail of mutilated hookers.

I'm gonna click "I Like This", purely for the comment ""you're just like all the other women" (what? Female?)"

heh heh! That would actually have been better than the shit I heard.

Chin Up Lass

If he's not a B3tard then he's probably not worth it.

And I really wish people would be just *honest* when the wheels fall off a relationship. All this justifying, blaming, chest-beating and tearing-of-hair is so bloody childish.

"It's not working - we both know that so let's part now while we still have at least respect for each other..."

Cheers

P.S. Then again, only a few of my relationships have ended that way. Most of them seem to end in infidelity. Why some lasses can't keep their knickers up is a mystery to me. And a bigger mystery, is why I keep falling for that type. (Mrs Legless excepted....)
( Legless Mister Stabby - shanks for the memory, Mon 26 May 2008, 6:33, closed)

yeah
but for some reason people can't do restrained honesty.

Ach, it's for the best. Besides, me wanting to be with someone else would never have been a good basis for anything longterm... :)
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 26 May 2008, 10:55, closed)

His loss entirely
It's a drag, but no great loss to you.

As the others have said....especially the bit about him not being a b3tan - they're definitely better than the average human being - not least of all because they understand the whole goatse/kitten dichotomy.

( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Mon 26 May 2008, 11:08, closed)

well said!
And apparently I didn't respect his hobbies enough. Pft, I bloody did, but then he's not interested in my b3ta existence so I'd say that works both ways.

Whiskers on roses and goatse and kittens;
Bright copper mimsies and shrunk plastic mittens;
Brown paper jizz mags; being tied up with strings;
These are a few of my favorite things

Phew!
You got a lucky escape there girl.

Onwards and upwards, that's my motto. And yes, get yourself a B3ta man. You can't go wrong with a man who likes kittens.

Or in Kaol's case, dead kittens.
( girlinthehole, Mon 26 May 2008, 12:53, closed)

Yeah
I think Kaol prefers his kittens lightly grilled, with a side salad.

Dammit!
Just when things were beginning to look up for you, this has to happen!

Like others have said, I've clicked on this in the hope that it makes you feel better and not because I like the story. In this case, I propose we call such clicks clickyhugs.

* clickyhugs *

Anyway, now that you've been freed up relationship-wise, the advice I gave you at the end of this thread seems more doable. You deserve better dammit! Throw your protestant work-ethic and catholic guilt in the wind and just have some "You-time".

Re the direct and honest approach to dumping: My sentiments exactly! A barrel-full of 'this'ses!

well
I'm going to drink a lot of tea and then run 10K in that torrential rain. If that doesn't sort me out I don't know what will. It was no major break up, but by god it was vicious.

Sorry Kaol
did I get your order wrong?

Do you prefer them fried?

@CHCB - I would tell you about how nice the weather up here is, but given that you're having a shitty day, I won't.

Oh.

Ach, damnit. Have a sympathy clickyhug (© mistapakkaman) instead.

@CHCB
Tea and running 10K in the rain? Sounds like you intend to wee yourself while you’re jogging. That’s one way of “letting it all out”.

I think I can trump that with

That was a right kick in the plums and no mistake
