It's official

I'm serious when I say this -- You won.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through a tough time, but I really don't think you'll ever fully appreciate the bullet you just dodged either.

Take care of yourself, and get back on that horse! Just don't decide to marry it :)

After 3 years together and being engaged for the last 6 months - we broke things off today.

It's over......................

Well I guess "shit happens"

sorry to hear that bro
shit happens for a reason though
 
Would it help to pour-out a few details? Hard to know if getting it out would help or hurt I'd guess.

What's up my friend.............

I don't like throwing blame around, and I wish her all the best in her future endeavors, but it "seemed like" the more time I spent bettering myself (occupation, health, lifting) the more she began to resent me.

I don't know.................
 
They all end up resenting us, that's the problem us guys have.

Hope everything works out man, take things one day at a time.
 
I'm surprised that no one is hitting you up for pics of her. EF is turning over a new leaf.


Except me. Post pics.
 
just think how lucky you are that you weren't not married.
you truely won in the end

That happens a lot -- but not always.

At least you hadn't spent 15 years vastly improving both your and her standard of living before things fell apart.

That's actually a real problem. This is going to sound sexist, but their youth and energy and yes... looks are a big part of what a woman brings to a table -- not unlike a man. Over time, these attributes fade for both generders. As long as the relationship grows and shifts gears things seem to work. Problem is, guys often appreciate in value -- better job, higher net worth, nicer living conditions. Women can also appreciate over time -- become a better partner/companion, contribute to the household income (or even be the bread winner), etc. etc. But if the woman instead feels entitled over time as opposed to focusing on how to best increase her own value, you wake up one day with a wealthy successful man and a spoiled, entitled housewife.

And no, i'm not saying all or even the majority of women do this -- but some do.
 
sorry to hear it bro, but as long as you are still positive, good to hear!

keep on bettering yourself. thats all you can really count on right now.

You're welcome.

Now keep increasing your value like mad, become a mid-30's financial success, and go snag you a nice, young trophy chick (having fun along the way)!

(pssst -- but don't marry her either!)

I agree with the last sentence especially.
 
That sounds like what I went thru. I dated my ex for 3 years and was engaged for 6 months also.

She began slowly becoming distant during our engagement.

She ended up breaking up and then marrying a guy she hung around at school while we were together. (doesn't require much thinking to know what happened there)

She was and is still hot, but she was always bitchy so I thank my lucky stars today that some other guy ended up with her bitchiness rather than me.

That sucks bro - but if we learn from these misfortunes, then we are better for having gone through them.
 
Hang in there...things happen for a reason even if we don't want to believe that....Something better will happen

I have learned.....I learned NOT to treat women nicely....and it works.

sorry bud. i've been relationship free for one year, as of yesterday. i feel like a drunk at his first meeting......
 
Sorry to hear this A Creed, however I am a firm believer that "God will always open another door for you". Stay strong and I agree, take the high road, you never know what the future holds.

I have to agree with this sentiment. I've been divorced now for just over a year, and this past year may have been the best of my life. I'm 34, saving more money than ever, the house will be paid off in less than 8 years, just bought a new zero turn tractor, about to buy carpet and central air, enjoying dating and hobbies and time with friends so much that my life is busier now than when I was married. The best though are the nights where I stay home and do whatever the hell I want, watch a movie, play a video game, have a little wine, read a book, work on the Jeep, plan the deck I'm going to build next year...

Take your time to heal and shit, but don't stop living just because you are single. Enjoy your time for yourself while you can, do what YOU want to do, someday you may find yourself in love and married not able to do the things you can now that you are "free".

May I ask you what you do for a living?

If I recall you have a secluded nice house in the woods with quite a bit of land.
That is my ideal place, but it's hard to come by having to work in a city each day.
I wish I had no job, then I could fully enjoy what you speak of.

Yeah, I'm an engineer. My house is on 9 acres of a small mountaintop. Very secluded and private with a 21 mile view. I'm pretty much set as long as I keep my head and play my cards right.
