    I actually thought his post was very solid and well-written.

    You're a better guy than I am, that's for sure. Once that trust is broken, it is almost damn impossible to have things be "the way they were". I would constantly think to myself how long will it be before she screws (figuratively) me over again.

    You may not think it now but trust me, you are better off without her in your life forever.

    Sorry to hear your story, it'd get better.

    Find a new hobby. Know how to gamble?

    Ah yes, nothing helps you rebound from a bad relationship like a gambling addiction.

    You might as well shoot yourself in the head, cuase i hardly doubt any amount of remorse will ever be enough for u to be really happy with her. Just take it as what it is, you guys broke up for a good reason. U arent meant to be.

    If you're going to break up it's best to be honest with the other person:

    My condolences on how you're feeling right now. I know that feeling of distraught, confusion and hurt, it sucks.

    The best thing is to let go of her and her lies. I know you have that little glimmer of hope for a better day, hold on to that.

    I was in the same type of relationship for four years, got through college together and thought we were going to get married, etc. I found out about the affair and was crushed. I knew I should've broken it off then, but I couldn't and tried to make it work. But it only works if both parties want the same result. She lied to me several times and I found contradictions in her stories and she would lie to cover those mistakes. Finally I got to the point where I couldn't tell the truth from a lie when it came out of her mouth. We parted ways and had the usual break-up fling, but it caused more harm than good.

    Fast forward two years, I get a phone call in the middle of the night. Current boyfriend just finish beating her and a friend, I'm the security blanket. We talk and she apologizes for everything, the lies, the secrets, everything. We meet up that evening and talk, find out way more than I really wanted to know. She wants to see me again, at this point I was never really over her, so I agree. Two months together and I'm on cloud nine, everything is great and then the same pattern. I knew what it was right away. I could see it all happening again, I could see it back then more clearly and could recognize it now. I went to her place and confronted her and told her that she was still playing games and that I was a man who'd outgrown her and her games. I walked away from her and never looked back. I never felt more vindicated than that day, I left on my own terms. I prayed to God for a chance to get back together with her for two years thinking that maybe it was me, I actually went there, thinking that I caused her to stray. I truly believe that He gave me that chance again and I saw her for who she really had become. She was the first true love of my life and I knew that she wasn't the same person I fell for and more importantly she would never be again. I let go, it was one of the greatest things I'd ever done.

    Although we don't know each other, and I don't know all the dynamics of your six year relationship, I can tell you that it very closely mirrors my own story and I hope that you heed my words when I tell you to let go of this woman. Remember her for the woman you loved and move on. You'll hurt for a while and think of her for a while, but I promise you the pain will cease and you'll find someone else. Good luck friend, I hope you didn't mind me sharing my story, I hope my words can help you in some way.

    Great advice. Holding onto the past whether it's a regret or a grudge is unhealthy and a waste of time. There will always be some bright spots in a relationship that long. Now that you're free again, you'll have opportunities to reach for something new after you take some time to recover.

    You two are like semi-stalkers. Everytime Lady Di posts or says something about herself, you two are always quick to ask for more pics or make some kind of weird comment towards her. It's really very strange. Try interacting with some decent looking women in real life. It might help. I would feel very uncomfortable if I was her.

    My condolences, ChrisJent, but as has been posted earlier, you deserve better.
