The girlfriend just dumped me. Over the phone. After a three-day trip to visit some of her friends in Helsinki.
Apparently I'm an amazing guy, but she just isn't in love with me anymore. Ain't that just a fucking riot? That's kinda like someone complementing your clothing while punching you in the kidneys.
Truth be told, I kinda knew something was wrong. She barely kissed me once this weekend, leaving me out of conversations with her friends (her excuse? "I haven't seen them in two months"), and today when we were coming home on the train she barely spoke a word.
Fuck.

I feel for you dude. My son did that a month or two ago. All over the bathroom. I mean all over. The walls, the door, out of the bathroom onto the carpet.
This.
Sorry to hear that, Reindeer.
Sorry to hear that NR.
Well, this is one of the worst weekends of my life.
I learned the very real possibility that one of my close friend's recently, may have (I do not have all the facts or stories and am not going to act on anything until I do) raped another close friend. Apparently this MAY have happened a month or so ago. No one wanted to tell me anything for obvious reasons. Now, I know. Now, something is going to happen. This fucking sucks.

Sorry to hear that Chuck. I was in a similar situation a year ago and understand that there is no positive outcome. Either you support your male friend and feel like an ass for doubting the woman, or you support the female friend and feel like you are abandoning your friend.
Anyways, I know it sucks, man. Wish I had more positive things to say on it.

My back has been hurting lately but nothing to major. Starting on Saturday my back starting hurting really bad. I laid in bed resting but it was still hurting today (Sunday) so I decided to go in and get it checked. They informed me that it is sciatica which is what I had though it was. They gave me some percocet and told me to take a day or two off from work to rest and than to try some stretches. If it doesn't get better after that they said I would need to go in for physical therapy. They want me to go in for an x-ray tomorrow but I am not sure if my insurance will cover it so I will have to call them up tomorrow to find out for sure. But as of right now my back hurts but I have some percocet and that seems to be helping somewhat but there is still pain. But hopefully it will get better quickly cause right now it is driving me crazy and as stupid as it sounds I hate calling out of work and I am hoping I don;t have to be out for more than a day or so.

Thanks, guys and gals... I've been feeling really down about the whole thing, and it's nice to hear someone cares. *sighs* I've been going through the last weekend in my head, and I cannot help but thinking that me going along with her to Helsinki was a mistake. I had fun, sure, but the whole trip just raised some issues all the time. She hates living in our current hometown and wants to move to Helsinki, while I, a country boy still at heart, couldn't even dream of moving into that concrete monstrosity that is the capital city. She barely spent any time with me and a mutual friend (whose birthday we were actually celebrating), to the point where she and her two friends kept leaving me and the friend behind when we were walking, like we weren't even part of the group. And I swear, the way she just kep pawing that friend of hers... If I didn't know he was gay, I would have been jealous as hell.
The funny thing is, I went along with her because I wanted to spend time with her, come to know her friends... Hell, with a throbbing headache I still decided to come with them downtown, because I wanted to be with her. Guess I just shot myself in the leg with that...

Wow, just wow. Is she on the younger side? Because that whole display she put out just reeks of high school antics. Sorry to hear about it, bro.
I'll spare you the plenty of fish in the sea bullshit and have a shot of vodka tonight in your honor. I hope you do the same.
That's what I was thinking Chaz. It just sounds so childish.
My first love (I really mean that) broke up with me over the phone. He told me the long distance thing wasn't going to work. I was coming up his way the very next day and I still had to go...I just didn't tell him. It was going to be a surprise. Welp, turns outhe was dating someone else. A fat, ugly 16 year old. He was 19 at the time, I was 17.
I was mortified that I was dumped for....that. I was horrified that he dumped me on the phone without even mentioning her to me. When I asked him about it he said "It was easier." Well thanks.
He got it good though, she was caught banging two guys in the school bathroom. He called me the next day, but I was already dating the Hubby by then. He lost.

Something was really frustrating me and pissing me off. Then I realized that something was me... well rather my stupidity. I stopped being stupid and the issue resolved itself.
I'm really happy no one was here to witness that. So this half rant/half win.

Well when I drove away to lunch, I had a major rant in my head, I was ready to burst out and say what I felt about it...
Now, I don't fucking remember why I was mad.
Getting old sucks.

She's 19... so yeah, she's on the younger side.
As for the vodka, well... I'll have to do that tomorrow. Last day on antibiotics, and all that... Thank you nonetheless.

I'm going to be in Poland next summer. I'll have to get your address so I can send you some of my grandma's homemade vodka. Aww yeah dawg (uh, it's pretty good for degreasing engines too).
@ NR: Been there, brah. Yes, it sucks - but believe it or not, better now, than later down the road when she's been stringing you along for a while whilst going behind your back. Yes, it burns now. No, no platitude is going to make you feel better, but at least she had the guts to tell you.
In a childish manner, true, but still...
@Frankie: Dude. I know you're going to make sure that you've got the facts straight before you act... what a messed-up situation

Getting dumped is terrible for NR, but this one? Holy FUCK! Dude!
And NR, I once had a girl I was dating let go of my hand when she saw some friends. She then introduced me to them as "her cousin". Back then I was
but looking back I'm all 
and 
about it.
Of course the proper response to this is to explain to her friends that the cousin thing makes the sex that much hotter.And NR, I once had a girl I was dating let go of my hand when she saw some friends. She then introduced me to them as "her cousin". Back then I was

Yes, this happened almost exactly a year ago. She started working there in February. She got sent home Monday with strep throat and was told that she was contagious for 24 hours. So she didn't go in yesterday as the 24 hours would have been about 1/2 day. When she went in today they told her she'd missed too much time. No warning, no "if you miss another day" or anything. EVERY absence was approved.
Time to hit the street again.

Holy crap, Dave, that's just terrible to hear. I hope everything best for you and the missus, and hope she finds suitable employment soon. There oughta be at least seasonal work coming up, right?
Also, my own rant... My friends suck donkey balls today My ex-girlfriend was in a roleplaying group where I GM'ed for her and mutual friends. I asked her and the friends if they would like to continue soon. Everything's okay on that front, right? Because we broke up but decided to stay friends?
WRONG!!
My ex, now my "friend", tells me she's not interested in playing anymore, because "the schedules just don't fit anymore" (hell, we played when people had time! We did not have a set date!). And our mutual friends? Well, apparently it's "not the same anymore" and they'd "feel awkward" and all that song and dance. So basically I've been told that weeks of planning, setting up story hooks, helping people make characters and having barrel-loads of fun when we did sit down and play don't mean jack shit.
Fuckin' brilliant...

I fucking hate running. I hate it. It's so goddamn boring outside or in. No one likes running. If a runner comes up to you and claims they love it, they're lying. Look them right in their dead eyes and call them a liar. Running serves one purpose, and one purpose only: to run away from shit that's trying to eat you. It's not fun, it's a last resort survival tactic.
Yeah, you need to give that some time, that's all. I've seen friends break-up that ended up being close friends afterwards, but not until a good amount of time had passed.
TIME MOTHERFUCKER!
And Dave, I hope that the smallest amount of time passes before your wife is gainfully employed.

I couldn't agree more, and I run 4-5 miles 3 times a week. Least favorite part of a workout.
