    I think some grumpy oldies here have forgotten what it is like to be young, learning what love is, and feeling that you can still conquer the world? Or maybe they wish they could still feel like it and resent others who do :)

    I have only read the first two pages but you sound scary...Back off a bit.

    Just read them all...Go see your doctor mate before you crack up..Letting go is hard but it must be done for her sake...You sound like you can not take no for a answer and that usually leads to trouble....
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    I just want to know if Captain Charisma wears a cape. And undies over his trousers.

    (I really need a hobby, don't I? The devil makes work for idle brains.)

    The creepy thing about this thread for me is that I was once stalked by someone online with the same username!!

    (not him though, too young :o )

    Or maybe some of us remember being young and cringing when ditched boyfriends humiliated themselves doing things like this, making us regret the time we'd wasted with them?

    I wasn't far of op's age, a bit younger, when leaving a relationship which sounded similar.....then, turned violent as it dissolved.

    Young love isn't always harmless. Fwiw, I feel that world conquering thing nowadays days though, and thing we love ( in people of any age) is wonderful, beautiful ( but admittedly a bit saccharine).

    Have you though about a threesome? You and a pal could double team her.

    I know this shouldn't be hilarious, but it really is :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Talk about thinking outside of the box! :D

    You frankly sound a bit scary, just leave her alone. Turning up at her work is a terrible idea, she'll be !!!!ed off to be put in the spotlight like that and you'll likely end up being removed by security or arrested.

    Just learn from your mistakes and move on.

    ps: You need to give someone time to miss you, bothering them too much is counter productive. If they don't miss you then that sums up the reason for the split, to be honest.

    I remember a certain army lad going AWOL because he met me. I can remember what started off as a friendship going badly wrong as he wouldnt leave me alone.

    I remember the lengths i had to go to get through to him that i didnt want the relationship with him that he so obviously wanted with me.

    Do yourself a favour, send her a card on valentines day and if you get no response. Give up!

    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.

    Actually it was you that slipped back into your old ways and not taking responsibility for your non actions is not a good thing.
    I can't sit back and do nothing, it's not in my character. I've had no contact for 5 days and it's killing me! By the time the first card arrives we wouldn't have spoke for over a week, if she doesn't get in touch I need to hold my nerve and send the rest of the cards before surprising her on Valentines Day

    You must have suffered from amnesia as you sat back and did nothing for 6 years.
    I'm not going to let my sense of pride get in the way of my feelings, if I get hurt/ humiliated then so be it - it will all be worth if it because either a) I can walk away and know I did everything I could (all be it too late) or b) I get another chance to make her happy.

    OP sending the cards is too much, I can see what your trying to do but your ex gave you the chance to man up and you blew it.

    Instead of sending the cards and as you say you don't mind being humiliated why don't you just upload a video on YT and beg? That way you have asked her once and you have given her an chance to think things over at her own pace and if it works you will hear from her... if your lucky.
    It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun
