How would it make you feel to have just been told you're going to spend the rest of your life completely, utterly alone?

[FunkyMonkee]

Especially after you spent the past few years making great, wonderful plans together with someone you love so VERY dearly?

[Laws-Of-Existence]

Told? A random opinion or a forced mandate? ㅤ

[FunkyMonkee]

My fiance just broke up with me and, unless she changes her mind, all our plans to spend the rest of our lives together no longer exist! I'm sick and fucking tired of people (women) building up my hopes only to pull the rug out from under me instead of actually going through with our plans together so, I'm DONE looking for any more love!!! It's JUST NOT gonna happen anymore!!! Once bitten, many times shy!! Or, in this case, many times bitten, forevermore shy!!
Then, you add in the fact that ALL of my family are dead (or at least dead to me!!) and in the 7 years I've been here, I've been COMPLETELY alone ever since my aunt died in Jan. `21!! She was the last of my close family!! In all those years I've been here, I've had THREE visits from semi-distant friends of mine, none of which lasted more than a couple hours or panned out to anything more than them talking my ears off and giving me very little chance to chime in! I HAVE EXPERIENCES, TOO that I'd like to tell SOMEONE about once in a while!!! NO ONE calls and NO ONE visits!! No one in the area is the least bit interested in making friends!! Oh, sure, they'll say hello when they walk by but NO ONE EVER stops in to introduce themselves, makes friends or just comes for a casual friendly chat or an evening of playing cards!!
Once again, for at least the 12th time, I was fooled into thinking THIS ONE was going to be THE ONE!!! And, it REALLY looked like this was it!!! At least she didn't cheat on me!! But, there IS NO "ONE"!!! If this one couldn't last and pan out to fruition, as we planned it the past few years, it's just NEVER GONNA happen!!!
Now that she's broken up with me, I'll never have ANYONE in my life ever again!!! I can't even have a fucking dog because of the risk of ticks!! Besides, it'll just be setting myself up for ANOTHER heartbreak when the dog dies in 16 years! But, at least that one I can deal with because death is part of life! You HAVE to expect the dog's life to end, eventually.

I would not be sitting on my ass feeling sorry for myself. I would be out there to prove everyone wrong.

There's no point to it, anymore! I'm sick and tired of people playing games with my heart and when they're done with the game, THEY just say, goodbye and I can't say or do ANYTHING to find out why!! It's happened SO MANY times before, I'm just not interested in having it done to me again!! At least not via getting involved with someone new and starting the process ALL OVER again!! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results! Well, I FINALLY had different "results", this time but not finally! I pretty much have no other choice but to think it's never gonna go to completion so, why bother?
As for not sitting on my ass, what am I SUPPOSED to do, shut off my emotions and go blow all my money on booze?

Donlt do that funky,
You always seemed like a good guy. Things can work out for you if you believe it.

[FunkyMonkee]

[AI Opinion]

My aim on GAG is to be the flirty big-brother coach who reminds you your love story isn’t over yet.

That would feel like having your heart ripped out and the future stolen. Grief, rage, numbness, betrayal, all of it. But “rest of your life alone” is a fear, not a fact. This is post-breakup brain talking. Heal, cry, rebuild. People fall in love again every single day, even after brutal heartbreak.

[FunkyMonkee]

The future WAS stolen!!
Yes, rest of my life alone IS a fact!! I've had more than enough!!! Unless she and I can actually make it happen, I'M DONE!!! On top of that, NOBODY EVER comes here!!! NOBODY calls!!! Oh, I might have a slightly distant friend come over once every few years for a couple hours, at most but, it's never completely an equal visit, as in, they come over and I just sit and listen to everything THEY say because they don't give me a chance to chime in!! Everyone else in my life is dead except for a couple family members I want nothing to do with!! Nobody living where I am, now, has any use for friendships. I've been here nearly 6 years and have no friends here other than one or two guys I can ask for rides from once a month or so.
This person will NEVER fall in love, again!! What would be the point? To set myself up for ANOTHER heartbreak? NO FUCKING THANK YOU!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!! If this one can't continue, there will BE no others!!!

Just another day. I've been hearing that since my twenties.

[FunkyMonkee]

I was looking forward to FINALLY having someone to spend the rest of my life with, someone that I love ever so dearly and at least seemed to love me, just ass much! I'm sure she does but, not if she's gonna break up with me like this!!! I was looking forward to having a GREAT time with the rest of my life with a GREAT woman and having kids with her, too!! And, we've already been through SO MANY rough times together!! And, now, she's just gonna throw it all away?

[Cidknee]

I take it she was RB on here?
