MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My GF has been away in Vietnam teaching english and We had been together 3 and a half years strong. I knew somthing was up do to the lack on personal connection we were making on the phone and through e-mail and thought we might be drifting apart ,i rarely recieved a reply from any message i sent her through txt or e-mail. I don't think she had the courage to talk about it on the phone. BUT FACEBOOK........ARE YOU ****IN KIDDING ME. WTF...................................................................................................
Granted there aren't many instant lines of comunication when it comes to being abroad but i had presumed that three and a half years meant a bit more than that. Am i being a douche here? i'm not sure. I'm slightly confused.
Ouch. Did she write on your wall, or was it by private message?
ohhhh, harsh
In the chat. Not on my wall.
Get Ro to kick her in't chuff.
That's just plain out of order IMO.
There isn't a good way to break up with people. That does seem harsh though.
Blimey, that sucks:(
Women are evil though.
Did she mention someone called ro?
Get a new girlfreind, plenty in Tesco in Heswall on a thursday night after 7.00pm.
Send all her naughty pics you may have of her back to her o[b]n facebook[/b]
lol, i live in Heswall and Tescos does have some treats in store that has to be agreed.
That's shite, but at least she didn't just change her status to 'single' as happened to one of my mates
It's all communication, isn't it?
[i]It's all communication, isn't it? [/i]
Only just Mol, only just...
Harsh way to go...
She could of just put up pics of her new bloke and let you work it out
I got dumped by email once - sent it back with one of those standard 'address not found' responses.
Douche
How long has she been over there for?
Since the 20th of febuary.
I'm astonished BB - I didn't think [i]anybody[/i] would finish with you. Dreamboat.
Four months? Thats a longtime to go without affection/companionship which is harsh but true.
Look on the brightside- Better now though than later IMO.
Painful as it might now be, at least you are not now dating the sort of person who would break up a long term relationship via instant messaging.
Plenty more pebbles on the beach.
Plenty more pebbles on the beach
Plenty of BETTER and shinier pebbles on the beach.
It wont seem like that right now but you'll look back and smile at what you have rather than what you had.
Why did she go in the first place? Look back for the signs etc.
Hora, there are many skills you lack but surely counting isn't on of them?
That Cranberry is an excellant point. I would like to mention, just to add to the info, that i went travelling for 8 months after the first year of us deciding to be together and subsqeuantly made a desicion that i would contact her as much as possible, which i did. Infact she printed out all of our correspondance and put it in a book for me. I know it's a different situation i.e she is working out there. But principally it shows that i was willing to make the commitment and now the tables have turned she can't handle it. I'm not sure what answers i'm looking for. It's possible i want to try and hate her, but hate is somewhat close to love. Rationally i think it's best to 'Nothing' her but i'm not sure how i get to that point.
She probably didn't go to Vietnam at all, she just moved to the next town and has been avoiding the places she knows you will be. All the people you both know are are probably in on it.
It's the only sensible explanation
Wee in her shoes.
(when the opportunity arises)
I've never understood how long distance relationships are supposed to work at all. That's a pretty harsh way to do it though.
She went to teach in Vietnam because this is somthing she has wanted to do since she was in university 7 years ago. I see what you mean about the signs. There probably were some before she went away but i did'nt spot them maybe or possibly i did'nt want to believe it. i don't know..... i may just be over thinking things, you know how it is.
Cant you start one of them Facebook group things...
"I sh*#$ed [name] [name]" type affair...
Get as many folk as possible to join.
Or just wish her luck & move on.
How long is she supposed to be away for?
coming home in October
[i]Wee in her shoes.[/i]
Mail it over via courier with instructions?
plenty in Tesco in Heswall on a thursday night after 7.00pm.
Tescos in Heswall aka God's Waiting Room? Shirley shome mishtake; or just very "niche" desires...
So, no more "Me love you long time", then?
Sad, but people are often cowards in these situaitons and do something in a way that they may well regret.
Write to her, express your sadness, tell her you love her. Not much else you can do. Except take a trip to Heswall Tesco, it seems.
Bon courage.
She must have left a lot of her possessions with you so I'd guess there are plenty of shoe/wee opportunities? You probably wouldn't take boots to Vietnam so some good capacity to fill.
IMHO revenge isn’t worth it; you’ll end up regretting it.
Granted that was a pretty lousy way for her to end it, but it is probably down to her not having the courage to say it to you over the phone rather than treating you like a piece of chewing gum.
The best course of action is to try your best to put it down to experience learnt and move on. Easy to say I know but I’ve been there and it is simply the best way forward.
coming home in October
So thats 6months apart Sam?
Strikes me it'll be a holiday romance (living a dream/no grey skies etc). Bang back to earth when shes back.
..When shes back she might want to talk. If she does reply its probably not for the best as your girlfriend wouldn't approve.
I worked in the US for 14 weeks sometime ago, and on my return the missus at the time, had moved down to Eastbourne to work and was frosty cold on the phone, she basically told me she didn't want to go out with me anymore.
But i wasn't letting her get away with it that easy, i demanded to see her and jumped on the NationalExpress down there, listening to the wedding present all the way down to get myself fired up, she was working so i listened to more TWP and then gave her a right rollicking, we called it quits and we remained friends.
best to get it off your chest, . . I'm not suggesting a trip to Vietnam, but I'd insist on a mutual coming together when she gets back so that she can explain herself, . . .if she agrees of course!
I had another brief relationship with a girl who went traveling to India, I was even ticking the days off until her return, she sent me postcards and letters explaining how it had opened her eyes and she'd met some bloke who gave her massages and rides on elephants, picture it, . . I still didn't really click and she dumped me as soon as she got back, . . she refused to see me for me to get some things from her house, so I left a nice letter in return, explaining how upset I was, . . . .
p.s. I'm still listening to The Wedding Present and am getting married next year, so have faith in a happy ending, this ones not going anywhere, I keep her in a cage under the sink unit!! 😉
Hora, when did you get all "dad" like??

Your little ones gona love you saying those to him in the future 😉
If you do what 'Whathaveisaidnow' suggested above then could combine it with a [url= http://www.cycleactive.co.uk/mountain/asia/vietnam.html ]biking holiday[/url] to cheer you up.

Great idea, . . . . plus the girls over there will love you, . . . . . . looooongtime!
skiprat I am trying my best to present a new more grown up hora on STW.
What I'd actually tell my son is what I'd do:
It'd involve manipulating a friend of hers into bed or just going straight out and pulling someone else.
I wouldn't sit at home thinking about the time we had. That comes later in the w*nkbank/back catalogue-flick through.
Base/vulgar but its the best way a man can get over a girl.
AAhhhhhhhhhh balance is restored, back to the Hora we know and love!! 😉
Thanks for the advice people. I think most of you are right. I should wait until we can speak face to face so that there is an oppotunity for her to apologise and for us to talk like adults (however hard that may be for me). But i'm certainly won't hold out for her. She did type ''I think we should call for a break'' which is my mind says that she doesn't have the courage to say it outright in fear of hurting my feelings. She is'nt a malicious person and i don't think it is a true reflection of who she is. But like you said she doesn't have the courage. I'm just a bit gutted that after all that time together in what i believed to be my favorite relationship so far, she did'nt want to speak to me face to face. Sometimes emotion can blind you against making better desicions.
Just go out there and enjoy yourself. Don't think 'its only 60days to go etc before I can see if theres anything there'.
Lifes too short and don't go giving any girls your sob-story/telling them about her- just say that to your mates.
Its a passion-killer and the girls wont think 'oh go on then, I'll give you a cheerup shag' 😉
yeah good advice. I'll actually be doing a 4 months course when she comes back anyhow on the 11th october. I was going to get that week off to see her but i'm not sure weather it's worth having the whole week off now. Do you think i should just get one day off so that we can chat? or just leave it, don't book the time off ans if she really wants to chat, she can come and find me in Llangollen?
Just leave it. I know you need closure/need to know but exactly what do you want to hear?
It'll be along the lines of a cliche. I think your better of speaking to her on the phone or email. An honesty email- just word it that it'll help you move on if she could lay it down and be honest.
The answer could be brutal but it'd shut the doors you need closing.

I see a theme starting in forum names 😀
without knowing anything about you (so i could be COMPLETELY wrong here) you ex went off to teach in Viet Nam - something exciting and quite brave - met interesting people with the same adventurous spirit and now finds you rather dull in comparison? and you're surprised? why they hell didn't you go with her?
sorry, but it sounds like the girl has moved on. you should too.
Yep. She's definitely left you for ro. 🙂
Im guessing here but its one of those outgoing US-rich college types with pearly white teeth and tussled hair.
has she got a sister? brother? give it a go 🙂

She's the one who clearly can't handle adult conversations. Using Facebook is a shallow and selfish way to dump someone.
Treat yourself to a nice takeaway tonight and have browse of you favourite bike related website and buy something shiny.
She clearly has and i shall endevour too. Have you seen how good looking i am? 'Hey everybody come see how good i look!'
Cheer yourself up with a new mmmbop frame from CRC 😉
set up an competition for people who travel to other countries and teach english, then dont let her enter, the winner will be the hottest girl with the most awesomely proportioned breasts, the prize:
to fulfil every sexual fantasy your ex wouldnt 😉
This, coupled with takeaway and shiney bike bits surely has to be the best coping strategy?
I've just bought myself hope mini's. Excellent advice, i feel much better now 😀 i knew coming on here would cheer me up. All i need now is a picture that sums up what i should do.
LMAO. Job done. Thanks.
What or who?

All of the above have just made my day.
Whathaveisaidnow - MemberI see a theme starting in forum names
and to think I used to be called toomuchapplepie!
Are you planning on seeing them this winter?
Saw them In Wolvo a couple of weeks ago, . . they rocked , . . .of course!
Right, i'm off to get unlawfully drunk.
Maybe she met a ladyboy and is getting the best of both worlds!
Pi55ed yet Bonty?!
That is harsh though - I suggest hookers and coke for a week then regroup and see how you feel.
hookers and coke for a week
If I did that for a day I'd top myself for having such a shallow existence.
If you can't pull easily or be interesting without going chemical then there is something fundamentally wrong 😉
I'm just a bit gutted that after all that time together in what i believed to be my favorite relationship so far, she did'nt want to speak to me face to face.
It would make a great ad for apple face time 🙂
Hora - I have never touched either. But then I've never been dumped via FB. Just a friendly suggestion.
Maybe she met a ladyboy and is getting the best of both worlds!
Best of both worlds! Beautiful chicks with d1cks that put mine to shame!!
Vietnam?
It'll be may mate who's doing her - he's working out there; he says its 'constant' as the foreign girls ain't interested in the local men...
Ouch but logical.

nice......
That's just plain impolite isn't it. I was dumped once by text, it turns out the only thing more brutal than dumping someone by text, is replying "Oh, OK". She's still not forgiven me apparently 
BontyBuns if you went to Ibiza to work for 5 months would you go without sex and stay good?
I'd last a week.

Shag her mate, works for me
