Some horrible news...

Last night I went out to dinner with an ex of mine and a few of our friends, on the car ride there she looks into my eyes and tells me that my eyes are really blue today.

My heart swells and my insides feel like a mixture of happiness and love.

She then tells me all about her trip to Dubai and how awesome it was. 

But THEN. THEN. She tells me something.

"I've met the guy I'm marrying. He's some geeky guy in Dubai who is into computers and is an accountant."

Out of the motherfucking blue, it feels like someone has punched me in the stomach and kicked me while I was down. 

We've been broken up a long time but, I'm here to tell you GB Community, casual sex can fuck up a mans friendship and his heart. I'm not over her. I never was. When she came round we'd spend the day laying in my bed, cuddling, kissing, watching bad television. All the finer things in life.

After dinner we went into an arcade. We were walking around and talking and I said something stupid (as per usual) so she slapped my arse, I slapped hers back laughing and she turns around. She tells me that we can't do this thing anymore. The way she said it she almost sounded sad. I hugged her and wanted to cry. She then tells me I will have to get over her. She said yes to this man in Dubai and I just feel like dying. 

In my whole life I've never had a night more depressing then this.

@Synthballs:
 
This is based on my life's experience, but I'll tell you what I tell myself or other people when they're down:
 
At some points in your life, you're going to get the shits. 
When you have the shits, it seems like nothing's 
ever 
gonna go your way, and life just keeps on kicking you when you're down. 
Sometimes, it's your car dying, your coat and keys being stolen,
and getting a misdemeanor from the police. 
Sometimes its your favorite 
bowling alley  and bagel place 
burning down on the same day...
and then losing your job. 
 
Sometimes its your girlfriend breaking up with you. 
 
But you gotta keep on keeping on. Take it a day at a time, and someday, you'll be back on top of the mountain. 
And you'll be able to see those little depressions and low points wayyyyyy in the distance, but you won't be able to scarcely see or feel them. 
And you'll wonder how you could've ever felt so bad when you should feel so good 
because you're standing ON TOP of a MOUNTAIN. 
 
 
 
Also, it sounds like you two really had something. If she comes to her senses and realizes that, she'll come back to you, if you'll take her. If she doesn't, then it wasn't meant to be.

She is actually a pretty shallow girl who loves nothing more then material possessions. A rich guy in Dubai would suit her perfectly.


She went to dubai for a little over a week :/

"
Wow, she married a guy after knowing him for less than a week. Why would you want to be with someone who is so impulsive?

A lot of the stuff I've read in this thread has made me lol. Which is a good thing. I know I can count on the GB Community to make me laugh when I'm feeling at my worst.

Sounds like the plot from a chick flick. You've got to fly over there and claim your woman. Or get your ass kicked. One of those two.

@Synthballs: I know how it feels. The best advice is to keep your head cool. You're romance was over, and she moved on. You have to do the same, or you'll have more grief and pain.

Yeah, been in that situation a few times myself.  Love sucks but the emptiness of being rejected by someone you've loved gets easier with time.  Chin up, and find something to focus your attention on over the coming months.  I myself once lost a love over a holiday weekend.   Went away to visit family; came back and she said she met someone else.  It destroyed my world for a while, but clarity comes on the other side of the pain.  Take some time and then get back on the horse.  After all, what have you got to lose but your heart?

damn i know girls like this. i had an ex the same way. i have a bit of feelings for her, she says somethign sweet to play me on, then tells me this private story of her and her current bf. dunno why some girls r such bitches. but honestly they arent worthit. girls like that plant some kind of chip in ur brain so u never forget them. its crazy i tell u. i donno how. but anyways, try to ignore her, and get over her. there are millions of hotter girls, trust me. try to get over her, and eventually the chip will run out of power and die ;)

It sounds to me like she is trying to make you jealous... maybe she's just trying to create drama? 
 
Either way, I am very sorry. These situations suck big time.

And dude, sorry to hear that. Stories like these always are a downer.  I am shocked that she met this guy in a week-long trip and wants to marry him already, however. Her judgment seems to be a bit impaired in that sense. As long as you are not looking for marriage in this girl, I can understand you wanting to have her back. She does not sound like the best wife though, at least in the words you used. I am not here to judge ;)

Man that sucks, but you really don't want to end up with a material girl. You can never make them happy unless you have an unlimited fortune, and even then its not easy. Go to your local community center and take some pottery classes and write some poems. Maybe you'll meet a more substantial girl along the way.

You and this girl were broken up for a reason.  There is no shortage of women in the world and, in time, there'll be someone who you fancy and who fancies you in return.  Simple as that.

I sometimes have to remind myself this is a video game site. So many kids/teens writing about there world ending girl troubles. :P
 
Perhaps that makes me sound like a dick but damn. It's not the end of the world mate, get over it. Suck it up.
 
edit: Andd i just realized this is in off topic so i suppose this being a video game site means zilch. Still! Point remains the world will keep spinning. ;D

Usually I would not comment on these kinds of threads, but I will give you one advice. If you really love her, then instead of complaining about it here, go tell her how you really feel. If she doesn't feel the same way, then at least you tried, and you will never be wondering about what might have been.

I know how you feel dude.  My girlfriend of 3 years just ended it with me on Valentine's Day.  Sometimes you're just force fed a shit sandwich.  It's gonna take a few months to digest, but once you crap it out, you'll feel like a new man.
