BP, owner of the best guitar company known to man, just gave relationship advice, and I am going to listen to it.

From now on if i am feeling down I will say to myself. "up and out, BP says so."

+1 to BP's advise. This is a pretty recent breakup so be warned of the "breakup sex" thing...I generally advise against it.

Due to a few financial matters I recently had the opportunity to have several lengthy conversations with my ex of 8 years who I broke up with almost 2 years ago now. We've not had any real communication over the past say year and a half. It was nice to catch up on how both of our families are doing (kids, parents etc..). I raised her now 20 year old son from the age of 10 to 18 as my own and it was nice to know that he's doing well etc....and it was great to be able to talk to her as a human being who I shared a bed with for 8 years without any bitterness or regrets but once it's gone it's gone.

Closure is for wimps. It's really simple...up and out. If you give her the stage to tell you why she prefers not to be with you then she is only reopening a wound. Who does that help? Move forward, learn from your mistakes. If she wants to talk about getting back together then see if you can work it out.

You're a BASS PLAYER....chicks dig em
I agree...but, you need to go buy yourself some G-13 and fire up a fat BLUNT and just laugh it off. If your near a beach, then go surf, the fire up that blunt and crash out for a while with some Doritos. It will all make sense to you after that:)

Good luck mate - hope it went ok.
Just wanted to echo what all the guys said - silver lining etc. I know it doesn't feel like it now, but it is.

Hugs

Well, I just got home.

The split was a good thing for both of us, and we both knew we needed it. For the past 6 months of our relationship we were going in totally different directions.

Since we broke up, and didnt speak much, I initiated the conversation today. I cant stand not being on good terms. More than anything I wanted to make sure we were on good terms, and that she knew that she an incredible person, even I were not incredible together.

The conversation went great. It was very positive, and we both got a chance to say our peace. Closure sex seems like a pretty bad idea to me, so there was none of that.

I could use some prayers and good vibes.

My girlfriend and I broke up just over a month ago. She was scheduled to do an internship in California, which lead to her leaving about a week after we broke up.

Our contact has been limited to cell phone, and email, and thats even been rather limited, due to the fact that situations like ours cant really be dealt with in those manners.

So, shes back and were supposed to meet at 2PM EST. I guess were having a "closure" talk. Nothing like an afternoon conversation to get closure on a two and a half year relationship.

Wish me the best please.


Man Do I ever Know that Feeling, I Had a Beautiful Wife and Just Last week Her Husband Finally came and got her. But Like Jimi Always said, That's alright I still got my Guitars

hey just know one thing... your sweet SR5 is there to comfort you in any adversity.

she'll always love you,
she'll never do you wrong,
she'll always be faithful and true.
she'll always sing you a lullaby when you're sad.
she'll always take you back.
she'll always forgive you.

have a nice long sitdown with her and let her tell you how everything's gonna be alright.

Good to hear it went okay. Takes courage to try to leave on good terms. I personally never have anymore contact with my exes, less painful that way. I believe in clean, but respectful breakups. Now, if children are involved that's a different story but I have no kids so I'm a free bird.

Last night my girlfriend broke up with me on MSN after almost 3 years together. I proposed to her last month.

I was amazed to see that you guys have similar problems. Nice to see that it's not the end of the world, even though it doesn't feel that way now.

I can honestly say that I understand how you feel. Right here, right now.

God this hurts. :(

MSN? Wow that's cold. I feel for you. And I know it's not what you want to hear right now, it's still the truth: time heals all wounds. Just remember all the times before this that you thought it was the end of your world cause you hurt so bad and you came out okay.
