Currently in the best relationship I've ever been in. the second best one was ended because she stopped loving me. Told me one morning. She stuck with me for three months while I tried to get my shit together, to make sure I would take care of myself. I don't miss her, but of all the exes I have ever had, I have never once thought I could have spent my time better than being with her.
It does however pale in comparison with the current one. The current one was like a religious experience, when we met. Nothing I have ever done even comes close to it. Still with her, 8 years later.
My dad was...is a heavy drinker, a man filled with many regrets. I think your ex taught you the best life lesson she could, and she knew she was doing it. I think that was the best way she could show you that she loved you. My dad is betterish, but he was a pretty awful man for a long time and I have forgiven his past. I am glad you're able to control yourself for the most part, and I hope you are able to forgive yours in full someday. Keep it up, my dude.

I have rarely deleted a nude from an ex without making sure I can get it back someday. I think most of us on this board could be in your shoes at any moment. That's a bummer dude. Really unfortunate.

I'm sorry for your loss, man. I always put pets of the past in this perspective (super gay shit incoming); they are a part of our lives, a very deep and meaningful part, but we are all of theirs. They get to spend their entire lives with someone that loves them unconditionally. That's one hell of a great life to live.

This time last year we were getting married, then she went full psycho on me, accused me of the cheating which I absolutely was not...then proceeded to make my life hell after that...in the weeks that followed she tried to steal my dog, I lost my high paying job due to depression, I'm still not out the other side, I'm only starting to get my life back on track, interviews are coming thick and fast, I'm studying away hard, I'm moving to a new city tomorrow and I still have my dog. I go days without negative thoughts and then out of nowhere I will dream about her. She was a solid 9/10 girl, I'm older now, I doubt I'll ever have that again.

Learning life lessons the hard way seems unfair while it happens, but it's good you are aware of what happened, own up to it, and are working on it for the better.

Not very specific. What's up, man? That's the kind of "happily ever after" we all want. I gotta give her props though, she was honest with her feelings, and stayed to guide you through the end. That was very kind of her on all fronts. I'm glad things have worked out well for you, user. Gives me hope! The ultimate redneck barn party 2AM, only the single lonely dudes left singalong. Been there.

You hit the nail on the head, brother... I spent 2 years in solitary confinement with my buddy. No family. No friends. No anything. Just us. While he did pass way before his prime, he was super spoiled as well. The best thing is that whenever I was home he was either in my lap or sleeping on my shoulder. We loved each other like nobody could imagine. But thanks foe sharing the feels, bro. No words can express how much I miss my shitty kitty bang bang.

Ah, the Great White Buffalo. The one that's always gunna be a dime. The one that can really fuck you over bad and turn your heart into ice, but dreams are still full of those old bittersweet moments. I'm sort of with you, just a bit. Got my life together, but when my kid's mom drops him off or I pick him up, I die just a little everytime I see her. I used to think she took my emotions with her and gave them back when I got my son for the week/weekend. Fortunately, her and I get along very well. We just sucked at being together romantically. Sucks that it took 7 years to figure it out.
It's awesome that you got to keep your dog. My original picture is a 4 month old mutt, mostly aussie and jack russel. Even though I am training him from the ground-up and will absolutely have to replace my carpets beforw I sell my house, he has been the best anti-depressant I ever had. You keeping that dog is a lifelone, and I am sure he/she is a good doggo.
