Sorry to hear it's happened to you too.
Same thing with me in October after 14 years. I find it's difficult trying to do the "just friends " bit - maybe it's better
to make a clean break. Time blunts the pain and the rejection.
Good luck whatever you do.

Another Hellfire view... f*ck it and get out for a Pint or three. Been there, done that paid the price - things do happen for a reason.
Usually someone has took their eye off of the ball... probably you, but she was maybe looking at the other players.
My advice is to move on, party hard and make of life what you can - as difficult as it may seem at times you will no doubt have to fend her off in the
future, we all change - it's all part of the rich tapestry we call life.

Really sorry to hear that - guess all I can say is "it ain't over till the fat lady sings" sometimes these things sort themselves
out & sometimes it's time to move on. Keep your chin up & don't take out anger/frustration in the car
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I feel for you mate, sucks don't it!
My Ex walked out on me for no real reason a few years ago and remembering still hurts like hell. I took the beer approach and although it numbed the
pain initially it only made it hurt more later.
If you can, talk to her and talk things out. If you can't rely on you mates for support - they will be there for.

Thanks guys
We have both agreed to give it some time and see what happens. I am not getting my hopes up though as she seems to have pretty much made up her
mind.
I know its my fault to some extent, but then some of it is hers too. Perhaps if we had both talked sooner about how we were feeling it wouldnt have
happened and then we could have fixed. But now I think its beyond that stage.
A lot of my mates are on here or in Coventry, most of those from school years have moved away.
Think I might go out for a blast in the GTS today.

Just a thought mate. But why not try to concentrate on planning that big road trip through France. Then you'll have a great holiday with loads
of laughs down the way. Chin up and all that for what it may be worth.

You're not alone bud... feels like it's never happened to anyone else and that no-one else can understand how you're feeling.
Believe me... most of us can!
Hurts like hell, but it will get better... and you will have lots of fun during the recovery process before you meet Mrs Flak-Monkey!
Chin up - phone your mates - head out on the town - get stuck into (literally!) the local talent

Sorry to hear it too - seems like a millions miles away from where I am now - but I do remember it well .... and it aint nice....
Had my oldest mate on the phone for the last 5 days, he made a TOTAL arse out of himself (again) on NYE and she finally left him (quite right too)
.... he's now FINALLY decided to grow up and sort out his completely unreasonable behaviour.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Im really sorry to hear this David. I know nobody ever truly knows what goes on behind closed doors but i do know you are a good one. If it doent work
out with her there will be others. A with a lot of people ive been through a tough time before and it did make me stronger.
You just sit there quiet for a bit and have a bit think. Getting pissed is what id be doing right now but it is just a short term fix - if you are
doing same lock the phone away

If we're talking screwing up mate then you're a long way off being the champ. From what little I know of you I know you've got a
masters and a good job, a car that's completed to what I would call an above high standard and you had your girlfriend for 4 years was it? Well,
lets see. I am unable to keep a girlfriend for some reason. I dated an old mate in the Summer for about 4 weeks and she dumped me and have now lost
that friendhip. Before that, at Christmas 2005 I dated another mate for about a couple of months maybe, who dumped me for her ex and she now has a
child with him (the one who gave me the 'Grumpy' name!) Before that the last serious relationship I had was 1999/2000 when I was in the
RAF. I joined the RAF because I ran away from a girlfriend who got pregnant, miscarried then got pregnant again.....it turned out not to be mine and I
was signed up Mate, I've nearly forgot what sex is! I got promoted after 7 years in the RAF when I had a nervous breakdown at the grand age of
28, couldn't stop twitching and couldn't sleep for days on end. I now live back around Bolton where I have no friends left and genuinely
apart from the immediate neighbours I speak to no one outside of work. I have no real qualifications and so take jobs like the forces and now Police,
because they need no real skills and my car is just dragging along and is nothing like the majority of the cars on here despite me sooo wanting it to
be. No one has ever seen it because I'm kind of embarassed of my effort.
So all in mate, you've in no way screwed up and are a long way off being a screw up. Just keep plodding on mate and take it as it comes, throw
yourself into your work or just keep yourself busy but keep your eyes open. It'll all come right man I can almost promise.
