I don't think I can put any sentiments better than others already have.

See The Sun
dido

I'm comin' 'round to open the blinds
You can't hide here any longer
My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes
You can't last here any longer

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Come on take my hand
We're going for a walk, I know you can
You can wear anything as long as it's not black
Please don't mourn forever
[He's] not coming back

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Do you remember telling me you found the sweetest thing of all
You said one day all this was worth dying for
So be thankful you knew [him] at all
But it's no more

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Hey Trep I am really sorry that your relatioship came to an end. You are a wonderful guy and it really saddens me seeing you sad. But don't worry, things will be wonderful for you soon, because of your positive outlook on life, and your big heart. Big hugs from me ((( Trepsie )))

What can I say... now you can look forward to "be a hunter again" .
And in any case, I'll break my rule, and offer you a (((Trep))).

EDIT: Gee, I didn't see you cited Dido above... funny coincidence.

(((((Soccsie)))))

Thank you. Looks like you and I are now in the same boat.

(((((Ninth)))))

What rule is that?

And I guess you're right, I should move on "...to take a chance on life again".

Guys, seriously. He is pathetic. I think he really is addicted to the chatrooms. He's there right now! He's in there the second he comes home from work until bedtime. He's in there all weekend unless he goes out for errands. He was willing to get rid of me for the purpose of staying in the chatrooms and not having to feel 'obliged' to be there for me. And the great irony is that we met in the chatrooms!

I've decided to be more active in the public sphere of that chatroom, make friends there, and spread the word about him. Yes, I'm evil. But at the same time I want at least try and save anyone from doing the same thing I did and end up having my heart broken. The guy has some serious issues and I don't want anyone else to find that out the hard way if I can.

Sorry to hear about the break. Most of the regulars know I went through a horrible divorce(emotionally) earlier this year, so I have some "fresh" experience to draw from. It'll get better....it always does, and when you're not looking someone will pop up and snatch you.

Any man who has someone like you right there in the room with him yet continues to cruise the chatrooms is a schmuck, pure and simple.

Beiddie, you may have the most honorable of intentions, but in the least it will look like "sour grapes", and at the worst it will look like vengeance. Be very, very careful how you word things, you don't want him suing you for defamation of character.

Are you kidding? The way he treated you absolutely infuriated me! On more than one occasion I was tempted to come up there and whip the tar out of him! There is no excuse for his behavior, and many is the time I've beat my head against this desk wondering why you kept putting up with it. But, in an attempt to be a good friend, I kept my mouth shut and was supportive of whatever choices you made.
Any guy who doesn't get down on his knees every day and thank any deity he can think of that a wonderful person like you came into his life, let alone his home, should have his head examined at length. Even better, he should fall in love with someone exactly like himself, only worse, so he will know in the deepest cockles of his heart what an idiot he has been and how badly he has screwed up.
All my blessings to you. As if you had to ask.

I know, but knowing him well I seriously doubt he'd have the balls for reprisal without exposing himself to public humiliation via the possibility that he may truly be an internet addict, one that frequents chat rooms where at least %95 of participants are looking for sex.

Unfortunately I've already vented myself to a few sympathetic friends in there. And yes, you know me to be intelligent and cunning enough to cover my own back. Thanks for the warning.

Hey, Trep. Really sorry about your break up.

It's really great to hear that you're moving on with things though. I just know there'll be so many wonderful things ahead for you.

Hey Trepsie, sorry to hear such sad news.

For what it's worth, I know how you feel, for I too am going through hell right now. Me and my GF broke up 2 weeks ago, after 3 years. This was probably the first and the last time I practiced long distance relationship. What's even worse, she's the second girl that dumped me in December, just around for the holidays, when being lonely sucks the most. And I was so looking forward to spending some time together with her. Needless to say December is now offically my personal worst, most hated month of the year.

I think lack of communication is crucial part why relationships crumble, my now ex-GF, like the one before her, never found it worthy to discuss any personal problems she was dealing with, instead, she carried it inside her... until she couldn't take it any longer and broke down from the pressure and weight. Problems never go away if you don't deal with them ASAP.

And now she's made a decision and I can't do thing about it. It's too late to talk, since she made up her mind... for both of us. She probably met someone else and didn't even have the courage to tell me.

I just wish this holiday season would end already.

Trepsie my friend, just hang in there, be brave and never give up, no matter what! If you need someone to talk, I'm here for you.

((( Trepsie )))

Hey Trep, I haven't been here long, but everyone's made me feel welcome, including you. I'm really bad at passing on condolences, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry man. Here's hoping you all the best at this difficult time, and hope you come out the other end shining.

Take care.
