Get yourself a giant pizza, listen to some great music and get excited about the next girl you're going to meet.

i think it is all in your mindset. you can choose to enjoy some much deserved "alone tme" and look forward to having new friends and new fun...it is what you make it...

I always used the newly found "alone time" to work on projects, etc. that I had always put off because I didn't have time.

But don't forget to have a couple backslides.

Plus he can have "alone time" in any room of the house at any time he wants now.

That's probably not going to happen any time soon. Just the thought of having to go through all that again makes me want to puke.

But, the giant pizza and music sounds great!!

so did you at least tell her she sucks for doing it that way? i mean..
if she wanted to end it she could have at least shown you some
respect.. how did she justify what she did?

the girl doesn't have to be an important girl. she can be a "get me over it" girl.

And not to mention now you can hang out w/ your buddies w/o having to worry about her being entertained.

Really it sounds to me like she was wanting to break up but didn't have the balls to just say it so she wanted you to give her a reason to do it. Her way was to start hitting on guys in front of you causing you to get in a fight and nearly arrested.

Trust me, as much as you feel like you love her right now best you kick those type to the curb.


edit : I see omaha and I are on the same line of thinking here.

To echo the sentiments of everyone else, it sounds from your description of her that you won't be missing out on too much.

And being alone can be awesome. Treat yourself to something she never would have wanted or allowed, and take some time for yourself. It's rough at first, of course, but you'll get back in the saddle again when you're ready.

That's natural. But, in time, that will fade. BTW, it's a reality that we can actually make ourselves feel sick in these type of situations but don't let that convince you that that feeling means she was the one.
