My girl broke up with me last week, stuff had been getting cloudy for a little while now. We just moved in together at the first of October. I lost my job 9 months ago and can't find a thing, even though I have an MBA and 10 years of experience. Well I was packing and found her journal. I know I should have not read it, but everyone likes poison a little. Well I found it, on 10/29 she wrote that she had given up on me b/c of my job situation and how I have become distant and unfeeling. I admit not being able to find a job has taken a little out of me, but damn. There was also tons of strange stuff written about hitting exes, etc. Bottom line this girl gave up on me and now it's time to use that as some inspiration.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
This is why marriage doesn't work anymore. When things get bad, people bail. Nobody takes for Better or Worse, if they can't do it when your dating, how will they do it when your married.
Now you know the truth of this world, you are on your own.Only family counts. The rest are strangers that you can have fun with, but cannot depend on unless they fear you or need you. It's rare you find a stranger who will love you like family.
Sorry for your pain, but you'll grow stronger from it. Good luck.

Hitting Exes like pshyical or sexing them up?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Well first and foremost, my heart goes out to ya bro. I think a lot of us have been through tough times in life in which the people who we think care about us most, bail on us and hurt us most.rocket said:
Fortunately there's millions of women out there, and trust me, millions of them are better than your ex anyways. They always are.
I've said it a thousand times.. I've been in plenty of relationships and with each new one, I think the next chick is better than the last.. even if at the time I thought one of them was the best I'd ever had. In other words, there's always better out there. And you will find it.
As for the journal thing; don't look into it that much. The reality of women is that when they breakup with someone, they don't just make up excuses for you and others, but excuses for themselves as well.
Her writing that she broke up with you cause you couldn't find a job may be true, but not necessarily. And I can tell you for a fact that her saying you got 'distant' is a complete and utter lie; it was simply something she added in at the end to justify her getting rid of you. Women love sympathizing with themselves and covering up the fact that they simply just bailed on someone and can't man up to admit it.
Anyhow, none of that matters now. More importantly than any of this is that you still have what matters; yourself.
Sounds cliche and corny as all hell, but it's so true. Every time I've had a rough breakup, I've found myself again.
Time off from a LTR is SO GOOD for yourself. It allows you to concentrate on you and build your strengths without needing someone by your side. I actually LOVE this period of time, no matter how depressed I might be. I LOVE the fact that I am on my own and I can achieve whatever it is I want to do.
Because deep down you know that when you dedicate the time, you can really aspire to do whatever it is that you want. Those memories of your ex are going to be long gone in no time, and she might actually be knocking on your door when you become something greater than you ever thought you'd be. I'll always remember when my first ex left me and came back 8 months later when I was making 6 figures and on top of my game. It was comical.
But I digress.. this is your time to create a monster.. in yourself of course. This transforming period is vital to all men and I cringe to think of those men who have been stuck in relationships for 10 YEARS since high school and haven't had time to fully develop them selves as real men. CRINGE.
Look forward to this time.. it's bitter but SO sweet.
