  • Your ex has told you loud and clear she is no longer in love with you. You can buy her all the Valentines gifts you like visit her parents you never bothered with but it will make no difference she has moved on and you should give yourself a bit of respect by accepting it and moving on, you are only delaying the inevitable.

    Anybody else think the OP won't be back because he's not being told what he wants to hear?

    Or he's in a padded cell after standing under her window for 3 hours singing Celine Dion songs. With a rose between his bumcheeks.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
  • I think many have simply forgotten how powerful first loves can be in our cynical old world we live in.
    We can all easily pick holes and try and reason what we can clearly all see to be the case here but surely we all remember first true loves and first real relationshiops which if you look at the ages involved clearly this is.
    Unfortunately from 17 to 23 is a huge growing up period and things and people change and no amount of telling someone at that age is going to work. I can remeber it well!
  • Aww I feel like a real meanie now :(

    Sorry OP!! We were just trying to help!!!! Come back and let us know what's happened and how you are!!!

    I think people have been realistic rather than mean and cynical.

    The behaviour & actions that the OP is planning is OTT.

    I actually think the OP's girlfriend may have regretted getting back together with him after the first split.

    He says this:
    Circumstances meant that we slipped back into our old ways, a close friend of mine had a relative who became seriously ill overnight and sadly passed away and I was there to support them through it at the expense of my relationship. Also, a collegue had a bereavement which meant we where all doing abit extra at work to cover their absence, also at the expense of my relationship.

    Surely a girlfriend of 6 years - regardless of how young she is or how much she had been taken for granted over those 6 years - would understand circumstances such as bereavement (x 2).

    Unless the OP didn't bother to explain his lack of care to her - in which case he obviously didn't learn his lesson after the first split.

    I think she has taken this second period of 'taking for granted' and used it as the excuse to end it once and for all, and sadly for the OP, I think he is flagellating a deceased equine.

    No just far too old and life beaten to know that the OP OTT gestures are 6 years too late;)
