Current Friday for me is meh. I’d like to offer my sympathies, and to say that the base trim ‘81/’82 grill-extending filler look on those trucks is underrated.

I never ever saw it coming either.
My morning was rough: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/opponaughts-hows-your-morning-1830933422
But it’s getting better.

Ouch, sorry man.
No signs or reason?
Granted, signs or reason or not, it still hurts.

I got a $700 bonus...worried I’d get a Jam of the Month club or similar. I have to get my bathrobe washed tonight and clean the house. Tomorrow folks are coming over for the Bad Santa Pub Crawl. I am going as Cousin Eddy.
School is done for the semester and I did awful...3 As and 2 Bs. Barely got the one B.
Sorry for your loss

On the bright side, the project car acquisition program can now go into overdrive.

Perfect timing, now you don’t have to buy any xmas gifts! Use the $$$ you would have spent on her on yourself. Get a haircut, and some new clothes. Be selfish!
The most difficult part of this will be resisting the urge to send weiner pics to all of her friends (that never works out). It’s totally acceptable to hook up with them if you get the chance , however.

It may not seem like it, but better days are ahead. At least it’s Friday.

I will happily grab a beer with you

Man, sorry to hear that. It could always be worse... I know a couple who actually got married before she found out he had been cheating on her for ... months? a year? Not sure of the timing. Certainly before the wedding. I can’t even... Of course, there are two sides to everything, but damn.

The best dick and weiner pics to send to people are the official Nixon White House painting and pictures of Nathan’s Famous.

Go buy a GTI. That seems to be the thing to do.

Sorry to hear that. Take a deep breath and grab one of your buddies and commiserate and be social this evening.

I’ve gone through that once. I can tell you, drinking will only make it worse. Stay positive friend, it may not seem like it now, but you’re better off if that’s how she felt. Hope your day gets better.

*Hugs*
Breakups are awful and your heart may hurt for a long while. But one thing I’ve learned about breakups (mine, at least) is that in the end I come out a better person. I learn where I can improve or what I could have done differently. Or I suppose most importantly, I raised my standards.
On the immediate bright side, you now have the ultimate freedom!

Thanks. I’m not too much of a drinker so that’s not my plan right now

There were signs but I interpreted them as stemming from her recent health issues and winter returning. I’m dumb.

Thanks. She is a New Englander, though. Recently she’s been vocal about how little she likes Portland and we were going to move away next year...

Oh fuck, get new doggo asap

Thanks. I am hoping that I can manage to improve like that. That’ll be a little while down the road, though, past the sadness.

I know you’re hurt now, and probably confused thinking she was “the one”. It sucks.... it’s going to suck for a while, but one day in the future you’ll look back and think to yourself, “I can’t believe I was so upset over HER”. You may even see that you dodged a huge bullet. Th ere was this super hot, half puerto rican girl I dated in college. I thought she was perfect, and was so distraught when we broke up. Today (19 years later) sh e is 300lbs, doesn’t wor k, and sits on the couch all day watching N et flix. I can’t thank God/T he Universe enough for saving me from that one. Never in a million years would I o f imagined she would turn into w ho she is today. I guess my point is, b reakups are often a blessing, even though it might not feel like it today.

You’re not dumb at all mate.
These things happen.
I hope things get better for you soon.

Is this your first year there? If so this is pretty common in the fall when people have just arrived from the east coast, they kind of go into a funk - you are quite a bit further north and it’s pretty grey. It can really affect some people.
If she reconsiders, the best way to avoid that is to head out and do stuff all the time, irregardless of weather. Gore-tex and fresh air is your friend.
ETA: it’s that time of year too, and people get homesick, which compounds the situation, especially given distance. Was she planning to go back to New England? If you do work things out, heading back east might be a solid idea.

I’m sorry. Things will get better.

Oh yeah, so not that. I’d just roll with it for now, things will get better. I suspect she has probably just decided she needs to be back east, and it may not be your fault in the least.

I definitely had a part in this, but yeah maybe it’s not all that. Thanks.

Damn, sorry to hear sir...you’ll get through this, but it’ll be tough for awhile. Try to busy yourself with other things to keep your mind from going into overdrive...

Thanks. There’s a big game thing in town and some old friends are back for it, so that’ll cover the next few days at least.
