Not quite.

I wasn't going to post this but I think I need help from you folk.

The story is this: two and a half weeks ago my girlfriend, Tilly, who I'd been seeing for 8 months dumped me. She lived 280 miles away from me so we'd been seeing each other on weekends and school holidays. She dumped my by email saying she thought our relationship had "fizzled out" and that she had developed feelings for someone else.

As we had been on holiday to Oslo two weeks before and for the whole week prior to the dumping our few emails a day had given no indication she wasn't happy or of the fizzling. Obviously that was an excuse for the other. The man she had developed feelings for was most certainly her friend Alex whom she has worked with for years and whose wife died a couple months previously and whom he had a daughter with.

I didn't feel it had fizzled anywhere and I was in shock. I had to persuade her to phone me up and speak to me after that email which was pretty poor. Also out of character because she is a caring, generous, lovely woman.

I was a wreck for a week, lost 10lb in weight and didn't sleep too much. Last week I saw a counsellor person and started to feel a little improvement but today I spoke to her brother (who I'm friendly with) and he confirmed she was seeing this Alex bloke. Now I just feel a shell of a man, empty and sick. I guess I had this little piece of hope in me that she would realise I was worth something and she would want me back. Now that's gone and I'm just feeling like ten tonnes of turd on a tiny, tiny teaspoon.

I want your help in this way, my EA friends: tell me it will get better and tell me what to do to make it better or what you would do to make it better.

I never wanted to be one of those people whose entire life was defined by somebody else but at the minute that's what it feels like. I'm at a complete loss.

On the positive side, I'm now thin again. 6 feet 2 and 156lbs.

Thank you, you may now return to your regular programming.

Hang in there, internet friend!

Go get laid, it's the only way...

Um? Get your head out from between your legs, grow some chest hair and down a bottle of Jack.
Then regret the fact that you ever posted a thread like this on a premier rock forum.

I was going to suggest that you might want to go visit this Alex guy, maybe take a couple of friends, maybe you could take a bat of some kind or a large block of wood... maybe Alex might be intimidated. But that's probably not such a good idea.

Besides... You're 6 foot 2 geezer... just go to the pub where he drinks and punch him in front of his mates! It may not get this Tilly chick back, but you'll feel much better for it.

HEY, ROCKER! FUCK THIS! What, are we all beating our chests and playing football? I think not, sir. With all respect, blow it out your ass.

In the future, please address these questions directly to Steve. He tends not to answer these veiled attempts to communicate with him.

Jesus. Premier rock forum... wow!
