Break ups suck. How do you rebound from a break up?

[Eli26]

Answer me honestly. We've chatted through this board for quite a few years now and you've always displayed open concern for the legitimacy of a woman's sex... So let's hear it. How many times have you been greeted by a Coliseum Dog when you thought you were reaching down to touch the valley of love?

I didn't get that far (THANK ____ING GOD! ), but it almost happened once. I was in the throws of a devastating break-up. I'd lived with the girl for 2 years and she bailed on me for our rhythm guitarist who was my room mate and friend of 6 years (caught them). So to make a long story short, I was making mixed drinks in supersized cups, using the small bottom portion for the mixer and the wider part for the liquor. Against my better judgement, I got dragged to The Edge by friends. Needless to say there was more booze consumed and some "chick" kept making eyes at me before coming over to sit on my lap. The only reason I found out she was a he is because my buddy Andy (who I told you about before - fortune cookies), recognized the Asian dude because he'd borrowed money from Andy to get his implants. BULLET AVOIDED!

I guess you don't need more than one experience along those lines to make you a bit paranoid

Coliseum Dog? Valley of Love?

The Coliseum Dog is what they serve at the Oakland Coliseum during A's and Raider games.

I get dumped a lot. Despite my best efforts and purest intentions, sooner or later, I always end up being a crappy boyfriend. That said, it doesn't help that I seem to date the most unforgiving and selfish girls I can find.

After a breakup I don't search for other women or sleep around, even though sometimes I think I want to. I just focus on myself. My life, my hobbies, my education, my health, and my goals. This is where I currently stand. My heart was broken earlier this year. Since then I've been devoted to improving myself as best as I can. Learning to enjoy my own company again. Trying to forgive myself for my own mistakes, as well as forgiving others who have wronged and hurt me. Most of all, I would like to love myself again. I can't fairly allow someone else to do the same until then. Hopefully sooner or later someone will come along, take notice, and give me a shot. Maybe one of these times I won't screw it up. Until then, I'm prepared to spend a lot more time alone.

That happened later that night in the parking lot, while I was puking my guts out over by the car. Apparently dude had been ducking Andy on payments, so Andy took back his investment.

OMG. I'm so glad I asked. And I know the cups you're talking about. Holy crap! You did get lucky.

And I hate that I can't eat fortune cookies anymore. So help me, I think of that evertime one is offered to me.

I feel for you bro. I really do. Part of my break up was not being to handle the constant constructive criticism of my ex. I just couldn't take it. I should have been a rock. I wasn't.

You probably weren't a bad boyfriend. You just weren't ready. It was probably a two-way street. Where they ever in the wrong? Of course! We want to think we could have handled things better, but they could have as well. Both people have to work on it. It can't be just the one person. Unfortunately in relationships, one side is more selfish than the other, and that's primarily where problems ensue.

You still have me Eli!

You're welcome. My kids get mad, but I don't let them eat them either, though my wife always defiantly does.

 

[Eli26]

[EVILFACE]

I don't remember. It's been 20 years since I broke up with someone. Pretty sure I just moved along.
