It's been a little more than 2 weeks since the break up and I feel great. I don't feel guilty for ending the relationship nor do I care who she's whoring around with. Life as a single man is kind of boring, but I've been there before, so I know I will get used to it. Thanks for the support!

I feel like I just watched a seriously horrible drama that lasted 15 months. Now that it's finally over I'm thinking 'What the frick? Why did I just sit and watch that piece of crap movie.'

Ah..life moves on and so must I.

Hi everyone! I'm just getting started on Datingish... Drop me a comment if you've got some ideas on what to do first - or just to say, "Hi!" :-)

I recently broke up with my ex after a year and half relationship. We actually met through Xanga. At the beginning, we hit it off really well. Sure we didn’t seem to have a lot of interests in common, but we dug each other, that’s what counts.

About a third of the way through the relationship, I noticed something was wrong. Generally in the past, my dates would offer (even if they didn’t really mean it) to pay for dinners and movies once in a while, but she didn’t. I noticed she didn’t really pay much attention to what I said anymore nor cared about it. I noticed a lot of clubbing and hanging out with male friends. I had some chats with her and I thought she understood what I was trying to say. And she was late ALL the time.

Two thirds of the way through now, I start to get aggravated at the fact that none of this has changed. In fact, it was getting worse. I felt like a chump, being taking advantage of. I figured ‘what couple doesn’t have little things they don’t like about each other?’ and tried to look past it. In fact, I even enrolled us in a few couples’s classes to work together and build trust.

Near the end of the relationship I couldn’t handle it much anymore. Even people around me started to see the way I was being treated. Unfair, unjust, unbalanced. The last thing we did together was a couple’s rock climbing class. I had to break things off with her before they stressed me out even more. Unfortunately, we still had 1 more class to attend to. I decided it wasn’t right to go, especially by myself to a couple’s class. Little did I know, SHE went with her new beau to OUR rock climbing class that *I* paid for under MY name.

I don’t think that’s right. People shouldn’t attended classes that you pay for, especially with another guy after you break up with them. It was totally disrespectful and rude. What if I had gone too?

Do you think it is right for someone to attend something you paid for after you broke up without your consent?
