Dear Friend,
I know you’re depressed. I know you’re heartbroken. It sucks, no doubt about that. But it’s been months, so can you please just stop fucking obsessing over this douchebag and move on? Oh, he’s dating someone else now? Good, now you have closure! Use this as an opportunity to re-focus on YOUR life, and quit feeling sorry for yourself already. I’m sick to death of having the same recycled conversation, because quite honestly it was getting old about 3 months ago. It didn’t work out. It wasn’t meant to be. It’s a crying shame, but have a backbone and walk away from it with a little dignity why don’t you?

noting that I’ve yet to see a post like…
“SHE left me…. boo hoo…. why would SHE do that?
I don’t get it… I do everything right and SHE moves on.”
Women can flame on all they like but at least I’m not wasting their time over and over and over and over and over and over again with this recursive, sympathetic, lonely-hearts ad.
“Lowered expectations” rejects… STOP POSTING. I think it’s safe to say we don’t care. (Except for TTFN who needs to rag on men every once in a while). There is a reason you’ve been flagged as boring.
I can rag on women just as much, sweetcakes.
I think the OP was bitching about thier friend bitching about a lame break-up story. It might still be a lame bitch, but i think there is a difference, zZz.
🙂 you do.. but there was a comment about men that irked me. Since I can’t remember the actual comment, I’ll go with “whatever”.
Hey, kid, at 54 years old, I’ve had more than my share of observations and experiences with men and women. Let’s see how you feel when you get that long in the tooth. There ain’t no black and white, only a million shades of grey.

What a great friend you are.
Your friend is taking it much harder than you obviously would.
STFU.
we need a “love the way we whine boringly about breakups” page.
When someone breaks up with you that you really really liked it can sometimes seem like the end of the world, and when that happens we often lose sight of the fact that: no. one. cares.
I can see both sides here: on the one hand the OP’s friend is still quite upset over the break up (and I mean we’ve all been there: once it took me almost 6 months to get over a break up and when I happen to run into the guy it still pangs a bit), but the OP shouldn’t have to listen to said whining. At some point you really need to realize you’re just annoying your friends.
Agreed Pretty Kitty. I’m having to avoid someone I live with right now because every conversation turns into a discussion about her emotional issues to do with this and that person. It’s like fuck, is life just one big therapy session?
TTFN. No offense. I like you. But your whole “I’m old” thing is kinda played. How much longer is it before you start calling us all whippersnappers, and yelling at us to get off your lawn?
😉
Shit, I’d be smashing shins with my solid steel cane if them young’ins put their dirty footy prints on my nice clean snow!
Hey, like Popeye says: ‘I yam what I yam’ – you wouldn’t be ageist, would you?
LOL. Nope. I love the aged.
Some of the best things in life are aged – Cheese, Wine, vintage clothing.
Yes, sometimes when people are in a world of hurt, they may overtalk something and might need a ‘gentle reminder’ – not getting shit on in the Coast. Hope your friend is more supportive than you are when YOUR chips are down, and the table always turns. Trust.
