I came here when I went through a massive breakup and found so much help from this board. I lost a family member around the time I was mourning the loss of a friend. Everything I had to show for my hard work were my two cars that I had rebuilt. One of them had major engine issues and weeks later, the other one began to throw a lot of issues. I was failing my classes. My once large savings account dramatically fell. Coming up on my two year anniversary with my at the time girlfriend, I had something to look forward to. We were long distance and given my issues, I wasn't able to visit to celebrate. On our anniversary, she was quiet, we texted each other less than 10 times. The day after, she ended it. I came to found out she was seeing someone else and had actually cheated. I begged for her to take me back. I was defeated, in debt, etc. I had prioritized my girl over my friends and had little to talk to about my issues, you'll quickly realize who your real friends are at this point. I tried to kill myself.

I worked my ass off for money. Fixed my cars. Sold them. Bought a Honda. Started working out. Aced my classes. Reconnected with my friends. Began new relationships.

Almost 2 years later I am now a part time employee for a large company, a business owner, debt free, still use the Honda but park it next to my Mercedes, hold my degree, I have gained 20 pounds and look great, and in a happy relationship.

She has reached out to me today, and I turned her down. She is gaining weight, in an unhappy relationship, doing drugs, lots of debt.

Your breakup is hard, but you need to take advantage of it. It built me into a better man. Find your true friends. This board especially. I'll be lurking to give you advice every once in a while.
