Relationships and how to survive them

Raiziel's picture

Searched for a relationship thread and was surprised to find we didn't have one.

After almost eleven years together, my girlfriend and I have parted ways. The parting was fairly mutual, but after such a long time together I can't help but be devastated.

We always lived fairly independent lives, but now she's gone I've never felt so lonely.

Commiserations, that's tough.

I recommend an epic drinking session with whores and coke. Bring a gun, just in case.

Bad news, Raz. Take Kow's advice.

You can have a go on my missus if you want, cheer you up a bit.

The heavy drinking has commenced. I may do some sentimental rambling over the next couple of hours. Apologies in advance. I'll pass on the hookers and guns. No promises on the coke, though.

Not even a mention of my missus. Last time I offered her, Unlikely had a go, took 'em ten months to reconstruct her spine.

I thought she'd like being hit with rocks. Shows how much I know.

Sorry DS, missed your post while I was composing my own. Of course I'd love a go on your missus. What a guy. No wonder you're beloved around here.

Loving DS is like loving a tumour. It's part of you but you wish it wasn't.

The hookers and guns are the important part! Everyone knows that.

I'm recently out of a ten year relationship and without wishing to appear cliched, it really does get easier. Do the drinking to Tom Waits thing, (Warm Beer Cold Women is a fave) just don't start smoking.
In the year since we broke up, I've had a few casual things and one fairly serious relationship that lasted about six months, which deteriorated for the same reasons as my previous relationship. I was meant to meet the ex I was with for ten years for a drink today, but she bottled it.

Similar aituation to Lawro after my last proper ex. Was hard, but easy after a month or so. Weed and drink helped, naturally.

Get out there Raz, spread that glorious seed among womankind.

I'm not in bits or anything, but I am a bit sad. Guess I loved her and didn't really know it.

Yeah, I'm not about to do that. Although how much better is it that I'm banging on about this on here?

As for the eleven years and not sure bit, it's weird; I think we took each other for granted, or at least I did.

It's only worth it if you keep drinking.

Did you feel you were sort of in a 'groove' as in the other person was around and you just sort of accepted that then got on with what you were doing?
