I hope this won't be regarded as spam or something, but I just need to get this off my chest.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to feel. We'd been together for 5 years and it was rough but we loved each other too much to give up. Then last week, everything just snapped. What surprises me most is I'm not deathly upset over it. Maybe because deep down, without realizing it, I saw it coming.

Oh well. It was a good run, but **** happens. My uncle once told me that true love is the hardest thing to find in this world, so I guess I just have to keep looking, right?

Five years is a pretty good run, some marriages dont even make it that long. Good to hear its not got you down (though that can come and go). Sounds like a great time to earn that free mech!

[StompingOnTanks]

Lol, I'm working on it. Only a few points so far but I'm making the most of my premium. Thanks guys.

Maybe it's not over yet...

You may always find a special place in your heart for her. Enjoy being single for awhile before you go chasing after another one like a Jager after a Locust. lol.

a bunch this.

5 years is a long time, but you may look back one day and realize that was the best thing that could have happened for either one of you.

Hang in there and take out any frustration you may have on the red team!

[Rebas Kradd]

See, I tend to come from the other side...I hang on. I fight for things I think are worth it. I can't interpret what your own mind is telling you, but be open to the possibility that things are worth fighting for or recovering, if the option presents itself and you're open to it. You don't necessarily find any better when you move on. (Only you would know, of course.)

Well since this is the MWO forums I'm going to say "Shoot her in the face with a PPC"

Condolences, OP

Wow, five years....

Well, since we're on this topic, I'm glad you saw it coming and are managing to cope with it.

Laugh if you want, but I broke up with my last gf five years ago and am still not moving on, while she's been dating at least a couple of guys. And the thought of that enrages me more than...well, not anything, but pretty close. The worst part is, we've been friends for all these years and as a result, we have quite a bit of common language. I'm in my probably second worst depression of my life right now and last week I suddenly start dreaming about her all the time. And that's when I decided **** can't keep going on like this and decided to disconnecting any sort of contact between us.

Still not sure if it's stupid or if it would even work, but I'm hoping if I keep telling myself to move on, I may actually will. Either way, asking her to get back is not an option. I'm in terrible shape and she's dating, so that's not gonna happen.

[Draal Kaan]

Hm, can't say "know that feel bro" as being together with my lady 20 years now (forgot how single life was, not joking)...

But all the best to you, man!

[MadLibrarian]

My condolences but also Congratulations. There's billions of fish in the sea and now, at least, you get to go fishing again.

Sounds like you need a mental vacation. Try something new, start doing something again that you have not done in forever, sign up for some charity work? Whatever you do, I hope you are able to eventually move on. One of the biggest problems with loyalties are when they are not dually held.

Of course it's going to work, you are moving on. Congratulations.

I have found the less you look for love, the easier it can find you. Met my wife, been together for almost 9 years. I had been looking for half a year, gave up and started to enjoy myself... Then wham found her.

Wait.. I mean filthy freeborn ideas of love.
