    For your own sake you need to look at this horrible situation from another perspective. However justified you may be to feel angry, carrying all that negativity around is not going to change what happened, or enable you to move on. You have been with a guy who has admitted to using you, liked having access to your car and took advantage of your generosity. He didn't even have the backbone to end things with you civilly face to face.

    He sounds like a total and utter creep. Thank your lucky stars that things have ended before you two got too deeply involved. You have to feel pity toward the new bit of skirt he is now chasing across the pond. Lets hope her memories of being with him before, means she kicks him to the kerb and sends him packing. If she doesn't it is an odds on certainty that he will be using her in no time too.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
  • This might not be the right time to mention it but please try and learn something from this. No matter how dear someone is to you do not let your natural kindness and generosity be exploited in the same way again. In my opinion two years after a bereavement is too soon to be letting some geezer run about in your vehicle or to be doing anything other than 50/50 with
  • Everyone is absolutely right and I certainly have learnt from it.

    I will never allow someone to use me the way he did. However, I don't want to go completely the opposite way so I need to ensure I realise not all men are horrible !!!!!!s.

    It just seems bloody difficult to find a nice one. However, that maybe my problem, I'm looking too hard.

    Have a night out with a bunch of girl friends, you can slag him off until you run out of words and they'll tell you they always thought he was a loser. Then celebrate by having one more drink than you ought to.
    Repeat and rinse!

    It may be trivial but just text him and say his c*ck is small and he never satisfied you and you had more fun on your travels.

    I know its childish and stupid but as a bloke I'd be thinking about that ;o))

    If you have a picture of him, stick it up on a noticeboard and stab it with pins.

    Google the five stages of bereavement, anger's one of them. :)
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

    If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!

    All that would achieve is to let him know how much he once meant to you, and that you are now bitter its ended and are hurting. Not a classy move.
