    Havent all of us at some time in the past been guilty of wanting to continue a relationship when the other side doesnt.I suppose we learn from experience that it just doesnt work.The OP just hasnt learnt this yet..he will maybe after this one maybe after the next one and will take this experience into his next relationship.
    He seems set on his course of pestering the hell out of her,I know it wont work and so do you but what the hell hes only young he will learn that women love the little gestures every day and not to be taken for granted for 6 years then they get all this 6 years worth in one week .....

    Talk about thinking outside of the box! :D

    Thinking quite a bit inside the box....

    OP - your ex is young and may not go to the police, but the rules are if she tells you she doesn't want contact and you continue then it is harrassment. Dont know the exact legals but its a point where police can get involved.

    btw I bet youll do exactly the same with the next girlfriend, and the next, and the next, until you find someone who doesn't mind being treated like a doormat.

    This needs an update!!

    I'm now 23 and recently just got out of a long term relationship. I had been seeing someone since I was 17. We got on ok and loved each other however he refused to make any effort. Over the 6 years we had been together he refused to meet my family, didn't achnowledge special occasions etc and eventually I realised there was more to life than what we had.

    Sadly we split, but remained friends. He took the split badly and did everything he could to make me change my mind. I know its silly but having been with him for 6 years, I thought we should at least give it one last go. He made big gestures, even met my Dad and funnily they got on great. However after 6 weeks he went back tohis old ways and as I had had a glimpse at being single, I knew that was what we should do, so several weeks ago we split for good.

    I've been going out with friends, meeting lads at night and generally just having fun being single for the first time. i feel I have my freedom back!

    However today, out of the blue, I received a valentines card (it's not even valentines day) from this guy, and he had written a song in it..................

    I just wish he would move on, why won't he let me have the single life I want. I have told him that I am no longer in love with him. I do not wish to hurt him but he is creeping me out. I feel he is going to keep sending cards.

    He had a second chance, why would I give him another. I want to move on. It's hard as we were together so long yet he is not helping matters.....


    Ah you mean an update from the OP:rotfl:
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    Jeez, I feel like I've just driven past the scene of a car wreck, and parked up to have a gawk.

    @OP - she's not in love with you anymore. I don't believe that feeling ever comes back once it's gone. She has probably grown up a lot in those last 6 years, and is not the same girl she used to be. She's now a young woman. Did I mention she isn't in love with you?! No amount of grand gestures can change this.

    I think the 6 cards thing is a Really Bad Idea. But you don't care what I think. You've made your mind up. You're showing a total lack of regard for this woman's feelings. She has said she isn't in love with you and you go and do something like this. That's a lack of respect.

    Turning up at her work is the worst idea of the lot. If anyone did that to me I'd have them removed by security. She is there to do a job and be professional and you arrive like a love sick puppy. A lot of people like their work life and private life to be kept separate. You are not giving her the option to do this.

    Back off now before you put her off men for life.

    OP, it's so bad that Cooper has put capitals where there shouldn't normally be any! :eek:

    But if you have to make an 4ss of yourself, at least tell us about it. (not that any of us would take the mick... honest) :beer:

    I was just thinking that perhaps that could be the name of the movie made about this in the future. Or maybe someone will write a song about it called Really Bad Idea.....:rotfl: Anyone any good with a guitar?

  • Gutted there has been no update. Maybe the ex searched out the OP last night and killed him??
