Being MIA from this site for the better half of 3 years I recently decided to start posting and looking back through some of my old threads. Reading this just reminded me of the great ppl and great advice i used to be in touch with. this was a tough pill to swallow and it was nice knowing that others had been there before.

Update:
after the break up i was pretty much a mess for months. I was in the middle of a cycle and emotionally a wreck. We stayed in touch for a couple months and it soon became obvious that there was in fact another guy in the picture. She had also taken the break up as an opportunity to sleep with guys i always suspected she was into (one in particular a mutual acquantance). Once I realized this I called her and said good luck, nice life and never call, write or reach out to me or my family. I have not spoken to her since then (nov 2008). She has since then made efforts to reach me but I have had no interest in someone like that. Took time but eventually i realized the type of person she was and am thankfull this happened and thankful the relationship never advanced. She and I were toxic together and I cringe thinking about her these days and what a troubled girl she was, riddeled with childhood daddy issues.
Since then I have dated a few girls, and for the last 3 years been dating a girl with whom i am now engaged too. All my friends and family have said to me on more than one occasion how happier I seem and how good we are together. I finished school, moved to toronto got a carreer and am now engaged living with my girl (who is btw 10x hotter!). Ive also managed to maintain almost all of our mutual friends while she moved back home a year later with no job, no money and no one, living with her sister working a min wage job. I think i made out alright...

anyways I thought id just post an update incase any of you guys were still around...

thanks for reading, merry christmas!
