Exgirlfriend going to same festival as me, advice ?

Now you can stop living in a fool's paradise and get on with your life. You'll get over it, it'll be a bit shitty for a while, but you will get over it.

This woman does not love you.
This happens for a lot of us.
Get a grip.

I don't mean to be mean, but you seem to be only newly aware this could happen and you are not fourteen.
That is probably from within your culture. (I'm not slamming your culture, but that you are confused re her at your age makes me think you need to do some reading.)

i know
defo been living in a fools world

We've all been there. Now you can find out who you really are. You need to suffer heartache at least once to be a complete person. You'll be better for it.

Definitely agree with you Osso,

y'all are right

What should he read?

'how to kop on to my life' lol

Well then Downie--read this--

What general characteristics do you possess which make you feel you deserve the favours of such a fine specimen of feminine divinity as your adored one must assuredly be to have deprived you of your wits so comprehensively.

What accomplishments have you to justify your indulgence in fanciful notions of that sort?

Try to see yourself as she sees you. She does have reasonable grounds for thinking that declarations of love are just a cheapskate way of getting your balls slapping against her arse.

"They only want us for one thing" is a mantra in places where ladies meet unsupervised. Remember what Hamlet told Ophelia.

Perhaps a lower stratum in the socio-economic hierarchy would provide a more satisfying hunting ground. It certainly did for me. I never found the difference between up-scale and down-scale significant enough to take the trouble the former generally requires.

thats very true
il let her contact if she wants
no more 'i love yous'

I don't know his culture. I hardly know my own, it's quite thick.

I'm disgusted. Only one down-thumb for my post.

I wonder which of our lady contributors it was.

You don't need to go wondering, I down post you off and on.

Whining is tacky.

That's not whining osso. I can howl at the moon if necessary.

i have no wits or dignity now
can let it repeat or let it go

Parcel them up and leave them with someone else or send them to her.

Do not put a note with the parcel.

i had actually been thinking of that
thanks
i wont put a note with it

She hasn't all that many cards to play at her age you know Downie. Most of the acceptable chaps in her age bracket have been spoken for. And if she tries it on with any of them she will be exposed to the wrath of Beth and jes. who have already laid down the principle that possession is ten tenths of the law.

Divorced blokes have already proved their worthlessness to the female sex.

At going on 30 she hasn't a lot of choice.

Are you sure that you're not just brassed off because you have to go out into the wilderness and scout the field all over again and pay the price of another fresh start? I have seen a lot of that with my long experience of the social dynamics in pubs. It does look very trying I must say.

Try domestic science classes at the further education college. At least you can check out the skills with the pots and pans.

Decisive action eh Beth? Useless actually as advice. You should try to tell Downie something he hasn't thought of yet.

She gets the parcel, she puts it all in the washer, dries it, irons it and places it in the various compartments set aside for each item.

If I did that I would absent one paticular item.

Then what? If that kills Downie's passion it wasn't a passion in the first place.

i doubt she left these items in my tent to set up another meeting
