You're only getting the short(ish) version today.

TLDR is in May I got dumped after almost 6 years, I've not talked about it, took a break from misc while I worked on my situation and head space. Most of her reasons were valid criticisms about me so I've had to dig deep into my personal issues. I'm not really a go-getter in terms of my career, for example. And my Polish is not good considering my time here.

Thread coming soon.

Since Covid I became progressively short-tempered, nihilistic, complacent. Complained constantly about where I lived (kids, dogs, flatmates) and jealous of my girlfriend who had moved abroad for studies, worked really hard, had a close (female) friend nearby and being Norway was a pretty sick place for someone like me who likes mountains, peace and quiet, fresh air etc. Cities in Norway are small, pop Oslo barely passing 500k. And you can wild camp in 99% of the country. Maybe the long distance took a toll on me too.

I was due to move there in August and finally living together, but in May she pulled the plug. I also had to move out anyway, as the flat owner wanted to move in.

May was the worse year of my life - but only because I've had it easy. Needing to find a new place, getting dumped after 6 years, coming to terms with not moving country and not cohabiting. I had no friends in this city - my social life was her. In addition most of the complaints she had were valid, so I got a big reality check on how far I had fallen.

Things are going in a positive direction now, I'm going to make a permanent thread later to document things and hope it'll motivate others. I wanted to share things earlier, but I wasn't in a good state and I'm not really a big name here. We've seen guys here who get dumped and can't stfu about how much they miss sex or their ex.

Thanks for reading. Look out for the thread.

The part that stuck out to me was the moment you mentioned that you GF went to live abroad - that's the moment you lost her boyo.

She was the best man
