My absolute sympathies mate. Terrible situation to be in. More so than mine. Strange how, while we know it's been 'a bit bumpy' we feel in general that things are OK then boom - it's over. I think women expect us to pick up on the little things and take the small niggles a lot more seriously than we do. Those socks on the floor really can end your relationship. I hope you sort out all the material things swiftly and painlessly then move on mate. Feel free to keep me updated and just chat it out as we're both in the same boat.

Looks great guys. Sorry I wasn't there.

Literally just over the hill from me this.

Hello there.

Well... One way to deal with heartbreak is to keep busy. After work and gym I'm sat twiddling my fingers on the verge of tears. I used to work at a Dominos and was friends with the manager. I phoned up tonight and asked if they had any delivery jobs. They do, they remembered me and now I'm a Domino's employee again. As well as my day job. This can only be a positive. Extra couple of hundred quid a week, saving lots of money because I won't be going anywhere spending and the most immediately important thing - distraction. Between two jobs and gym, I should be a lot better off mentally, physically and financially. Half price pizza.

No need to be sorry. You must be feeling terrible so it's fine to find support in the forum.

Sorry to hear this mate. What do you think you'll do so you can Leave with dignity intact? If it comes down to it and I leave it's going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, she has a 6 year old boy and I've been like a dad to him for 2 years, not sure it's going to be possible to walk away with any dignity at all to be honest. Our only potential saving grace is a family holiday that is booked for the end of this month, she told me last night she would have kicked me out if it wasn't for the holiday. If I want to save the relationship I need to man up and realize shes going to be grumpy, upset and passive aggressive until she starts to feel better about things, I need to stop reacting to her moods/comments and I need to fix the things that have led her to feel this way (me being unorganized, forgetting things, not paying enough attention to her when shes talking, spending too much time with the car etc). It's just so hard to keep your patience with someone who is frustrated at you and makes you feel like a burden on their life. Especially when I do actually do a lot for her, financially and in the way of helping with childcare etc. She told me last night she is almost sure she is done and if she still feels this way after the holiday it's over. I'm giving it one last shot, I really love the girl and part of me believes if I can fix the fundamental things that drove her to be like this that things can still get better. Time will tell. Mate this sounds like an awful situation. I don't think it's very fair of her to say if the holiday won't fix it you're history. That's far too much pressure on you and pretty much guarantees you won't enjoy it which she'll pick up on. I don't know mate. She sounds a bit petty and immature and harsh. Are you that much of a bad guy to her? I don't think I could do it.

Sorry to read that, ...doesn't sound good. If you haven't already you need to talk it out with her and tell her how you're feeling if you want to keep your relationship with her otherwise you'll be heading down the same path as TT. Hope you get it sorted. @Gareth ~ It sounds like you've made the best decision you could but in all honesty only you know what's best for you & what you want. Unfortunately sometimes people want different things from each other and inevitably relationships fail. If you loved her, which I think you did then you'll never truly get over the heart ache imo but it will get better and as time goes by you will ponder over it less & less. Yes she obviously wanted something different. A true saying "Women are like monkeys, they don't let go of one branch before having hold of another" Personally I feel the heartache DOES go over time. I've been in love before and was heartbroken but that person eventually completely faded from my emotions.

Sorry to hear this mate. What do you think you'll do so you can Leave with dignity intact?

Well you surely know the grief it causes greater than I do. 20 years is a helluva long time. Very true that you never know what's round the corner. My mum had just died and I was grieving when my now ex came along and completely eased the pain.

She bought a house and I lived with her for 9 months and we lived in this (my) house for a year before that. Planned to rent it or even sell it. I'm glad I didn't do either of those. When I moved back in here there wasn't even a bed!

In my heart I know shed already left the relationship. There was a catalyst somewhere which caused it all to explode suddenly.

I know it will but right now it's so intense. Unbareable almost. I am hitting the gym more yes as I know that 4 hours in the gym a day will keep me occupied and also give the added benefits of looking and feeling amazing in 6 months time and because I've nothing else to do after work and I'll be lost in my own misery, the workouts won't be a chore at all and I won't even notice 3 months go by.

Price Drop. £7000.

I think i did do the right thing. But i also made a fool of myself by breaking silence and asking if she thought shed ever want to be with me again. To which she said no. Previouly just after breakup we were still talking and she was crying her eyes out when we met up saying "please can we try just going back to dating and see how it goes?!" I agreed but then quickly changed my mind. Then after that she was just cold and impartial to me and would not agree to just date. And then i did end it. But like i said, i made the fatal error of contacting her to ask if she was positive shed never take me back. Which she wont. What a tool i am. Ive got her to block me now which is calming to an extent. I know her number off by heart you see. Man. The anguish is tangible and im in a financial pickle because of it all too.

Hi guys. Still completely reeling from my breakup. We'd been together 5 years. I thought she was the one. We remodelled my house together both putting equal money into it. A year later we both moved into a bigger nicer house. Everything was going fine. We did start to get on less and less though about 6 months ago. Little grumbles and niggles turned into a much bigger deal on her behalf. I couldn't do much right. Talk of me moving home but us still dating began to be suggested by her. I didn't go for it. It kept coming up then one day after another morning of her being cold and gloomy I said, look do you really want me to move out? She said yes. I moved out. But I could not do the "continue just dating a couple of nights and see if I miss you and want you back" thing. I ended it. I can't do that to myself. Be 'on hold'. To me, the self respect thing aside, it just sounded like a slow motion breakup which somehow seemed nicer in her eyes. Did I do the right thing?

I'll be there.

Go for the VTi. At least you'll love the engine then. 170 bhp vtec.

Hit and miss with new cars. You spend the entire life of the warranty ironing out the bugs.

I can't stand the styling unfortunately!

I'm considering getting one of these as they're quite cheap even with low miles and I love the styling and 200 bhp has to be decent in something that small and I bet that turbo gives it awesome spread of power. Having driven an A1 1.4 Turbo I really liked it. It just got a bit breathless higher up but I loved the sudden gush of boost. If team Corsa is anything like the A1 I'd be happy. Not expecting the interior to be fantastic but they look decent. Anyone owned/driven one? I have found one for 5k 19k miles on an 08.

Looks like they've all just spotted Alan. Or is it Steve? Steve! Steve! Steve! No it was Alan.

Mine had this EXACT ailment. A coil pack was buggered.
