My ex, what should I do?

Post Reply New Topic

OK, I know that this has been a while since I've spoken about her, but a just before Christmas my GF broke up with me!

And yes, I know that some of you out there will be saying "I told you so..." but it's not for the reasons that you may think...

What happened was that while we were at a party, I said a few jokes (of a mildly sexy kind,ie nothing offensive only 'Carry On' style stuff) that she (or so it seemed at the time) to enjoy...

However a few days later it turned out that this wasn't the case, as she phoned me up and told me that she wasn't comfortable with us being together but that we could still be friends, I accepted that and the case was closed, or so I thought.....

After a time I began to have suicidal thoughts on the matter, and very serious ones at that, then only last week she started seeing another man (of whom I get along with) and so although I was very upset I went and wished them luck.

Knowing that I discussed this before with her, I happened to tell her not to worry about me as I knew that I'd find someone else someday even if it meant after I died.

Sadly (and yes she did know that I was upset over this as well) she took it as though I was going to kill myself!

Needless to say I've spent the past week trying to tell her that this is not the case, I'll admit that I've not done all of this directly, as I wish to give her space, and so I've contacted her family and friends (they already know me) and asked them to reassure her that I won't kill myself. Although they believe me, and are still on good terms with me this has been to little avil

Little does she know however that of late, I really have been thinking of taking my own life,

And so thus I've been trapped in a moral dilemma do I leave things as they are and risk killing myself (I'm not entirely happy with the whole idea nowadays) I know I can get help, but that does not 100% garanttie (sorry about the spelling) that I won't go and kill myself anyway. or telling her what may happen if she does not get back with me (or if I find another girl)

I know that she's most likely going to try and get back with me if I did tell her this, as it is NOT a guilt trip, yes I've spoken about this kind of thing before (but never carried it out) but this is the real deal, and due to my own past experience of depression, I've found that (as far as I'm concerned anyway) the best way to stop depression, is to solve the issues behind it (in this case getting her back, or finding someone else)

I hate to seem a little like the boy who cried wolf (as I've made posts in the past about guilt tipping girls into getting together with me) but I swear to God I've never guilt tripped a girl before as I've always thought better of it.

What should I do?

Goodbye Till Next Time

As much as you miss her and love her....would you really want her back out of guilt and to sacrifice a happy life because of your suicidal threats?

I understand it hurts and is devastating, and think that you should see someone about it.

and learn to love yourself and be fine on your own before finding a new woman...


just my 2 cents.....

keep us posted please...

Thanks mate

Don't worry I will keep all of you guys and gals posted on this matter.

As it happens I am trying to cheer myself up by distracting myself with my hobbies and interests, but in spite of the AS, it's still quite hard

Goodbye Till Next Time

it `is hard...... but in time you'll feel better and gain your confindence again

Dude, been there, done that. I think everyone has. I wish I could go back in time to give my younger self the following advice:
If someone dumps you then dump them right back.
Have you heard the old song?
"Got along without you before I met you, gonna get along without you now.
Going to find somebody who is twice as pretty 'caus I didn't love you anyhow"

You can't "guilt trip" or beg people into loving you. It just makes you look like a pathetic wimp and women don't love pathetic wimps.

Get yourself some new clothes. It will make you feel better. Tell yourself you are a great catch and go out on the town.

One side effect of this is that your ex might hear about "the new you" and think she has made a mistake.
If she approaches you then treat her with mocking distain.
Make her earn your affection and trust and next time around make sure you keep the upper hand in the relationship.
