>>6775287>>6771499I Lurk. I rarely come out of the shadows. Especially for worlds smallest violin playing contests like these.
But the amount of yes in this post here OP...
Read and understand it well. This is a blessing and you may not understand it well now, but this pain will subside and leave behind a smoldering desire for growth in all directions.
I was weak and emotionally immature at the time when I was humiliated by my ex (was with her for 4 years). She dumped me and quickly started dating another more attractive guy.
I was devastated. I walked across her campus from her dorm where she had broken up with me. It was freezing out and I had been locked out of my buddy's apartment where I had been staying ( I was visiting her ). Left to nothing but my own devices and the freezing cold weather, high and drunk, I walked all across town until sunrise. It changed me. At first I was a wreck for months. I my whole perception of life changed. But as this other anon put it.
You grow.
You become stronger and more resilient. You improve in all other aspects of your life as well. I put 30lb (180 to 210) of muscle and I'm now pursuing a degree in Aerospace engineering. She wanted me back for a time because of these changes, and I even baited her so I could shut her the fuck down.
With an amazing dime piece now.
Grow from this.
