Getting over being dumped?
ricejerry25 asked:
I got dumped last night by a woman I was seeing, for an ex-boyfriend of hers of 3 years who is a pot-head, pill-taker, and works as a baggage handler at the airport. The stigma of it is that she was trying to seal a “loser” status on myself because I recently lost my job. Myself, I’m 27, a college graduate, attending law school(am doing well have a 3.7 GPA), live alone, was working full-time, don’t do drugs, don’t take pills, not an alcoholic, am professional, and always try to treat others how I want to be treated, have goals and objectives, don’t have any children, and never was married. However, I know I’m not perfect but I am a good person who also is good-looking as well. Herself, she’s 32, lives with a gay roommate and several cats, takes anti-depressants, an alcoholic, got a DUI, is somewhat slutty and will sleep with anybody after a few drinks, works for an airline, and also as a customer service representative. How do I move on from this and not feel burnt or hurt?

from your description of yourself and her, you seem to be the one who’s better off. and with her gone, then you can focus on better things, living a great life and finding a much better girl who is more suitable for you.

Read your words. You’re saying how great (though, you mentioned you’re not perfect, wich is okay) you are, and how ‘uncivilized’ she is. Maybe that’s why she dumped you. Also, you’re not 69, so it’s not late to to love someone else (especially with all those characteristics you’ve mentioned).
To deal with a broken relationship, you need to pour out your feelings (diary, letter [to yourself], good friend, parent), so you don’t lock up all the emotions inside until you explode.
Then, take it easy, be positive, have fun with friends to take your mind off it. Having fun with good friends, or family, whatever, is REALLY important. Another tactic is to focus on your job hunting, studies, etc.
