GF just broke up with me.

Since you said you both play the same video game (assuming is WoW) I would recommend quiting the game (maybe start playing a different game) or at the very least switch to a different server if it is infact WoW.

The game we play is Final Fantasy XI; I tried to quit but I love that game too lol Probably end up switching servers.

She actually "broke down" my salary: after taxes per month is $2,000---> $600 rent (my half), $120 electric (my half), $270 car payment, $180 car insurance, $120 cable/internet/phone, $200 gas, $300 groceries...leaves me with around $200 per month which goes straight into saving but that sucks :(

What the fuck do you do in your aparment that costs $240/month for electric?!?!?!?!

My electric bill is around $25/month and I live in Chicago and I have a window air conditioner which "runs up" my bill.

The restaurant I work at has an electric bill around $300/month and we have 3 10x12 foot walk in coolers, 2 56 cubic foot "deep reach in" refrigerators and 6 "low boys" (refrigerators) which are draining watts 24 hours a day.

:confused: You grow weed, don't you?

LOL that was funny. We have the Central Air Conditioner running at all times between 65-68 degrees. Thats probably where most of it goes.

I was thinking the same thing, $50 would be a big electric bill for me. I wouldn't run ANYTHING that ran my bill up that much no matter what kind of comfort it was.

My biggest electric bill I've ever had (while living alone) was around $90 and that included my initial deposit of $60 to get service.
 
I just read your post now. This may sound weird but I actually don't believe in marriage. Thats one of the underlying reasons why she "fell out of love with me", because I haven't proposed after all this time. To make her happy I would do it though, i'm just a procrastinator.


I know plenty of relationships that have ended for this very reason so while it's a shame, I'm not surprised to hear this is one of the main reasons she left you.
 
They call me Sub-Zero (from Mortal Kombat) since its always cold in my apartment (we live in Florida). Its not a comfort, its a necessity down here (once you have become used to having it, not having it becomes unbearable).

I get what you are saying and I like it cool/cold myself (easy in Seattle), but that would still be too much to pay for me. I spend way too much money each month, but not on bills.

I agree but I just don't understand why two people can't just be together. No seeing other people, no fancy rings or titles; just two people, in love, together.
 
Its so funny how just yesterday I was depressed as fuck. Today I was doing much better up until 30 minutes ago or so and then it hit me again. lol this sucks

That's the circle of life buddy. Get used to it. I remember when my ex left me, I went through an uncontrollable roller coaster of emotions. I would laugh for a while, then sob like a bitch for a little bit, then I'd scream at the top of my lungs and want to punch something...then I'd laugh for a while, then...

Yeah that sounds pretty accurate. I punched a wall in my house yesterday during the "angry phase" and left a crater-sized hole. As soon as I did that I was like why the hell did I just do that. Punching something did make me feel a tad better though.

Well sure, but now you've got a wall to repair, and still don't have her back. I think it would help you to look back, realize you probably had some good/great times with her, but then face forward again and know that there are quite literally BILLIONS of women on this planet. In the US, women are 52% (roughly) of the population.

Find another one. One that makes you feel important and good (which is always the case in the beginning when everything's new), but don't be in a rush to have a "girlfriend". Relax, be you, and just look to have some fun.

Good luck, we're all counting on you. (Wait! that's Dr. Motorcity's line!)

I gave in to temptation and called her today (last time we spoke was Friday morning, we've been broken up since Sunday). I was trying to hold out for a month. I was not looking for a fight and she reaffirmed that she is not "looking for anyone right now" and that her and the guy are just friends (he's 31, divorced, in the Navy, and not to sound like an ass but not really good-looking). Deep down, I was never really threatened by that guy (i knew she'd never go for someone like that) just pissed that she didn't want to be with me. She told me she missed me, and I the same, and the conversation ended there.

I know I was being weak but I was bored at the moment and the urge to speak with her was just too overpowering.

I would avoid talking to her at all costs if I were you. It just makes the break-up harder to come to terms with. If you feel the urge to call her again and you actually get to the point of picking up the phone...slam it down on the ground as hard as you can before you dial any numbers.

Don't believe it. Everyone is always looking for someone when they're single and, IMO, there are no such things as "just friends" when it comes to relationships between the opposite sex.
 
The last time I broke up with a gf I had a rugby match the next day so I decided to use the match to release some anger.

well, I ended up knocking the opposing teams fly-half unconscious in the first five minutes and played the best game of my life, it was a good form of anger management.
 
I believe that there are two types of women...

Sluts and girls who lie about being a slut.

:rofl:

Well, there are a few good women out there... most I know are already married, which is probably why I'm still single too!

Hang in there K... your emotions will go up and down like a yo yo for a while, but it will level off eventually. And for Godsake, don't call her even though you might want to more than anything in the world! Nothing good can come of it, and you will regret it, trust me.
