    The auld rabbit is handy alright, it has saved me from going on hookup websites and doing something I know I'd regret, but while it can replace orgasms it can't replace sex.

    I just got dumped today. We were less than a year together, so it isn't as horrific as it could be, but I still feel like it hasn't sunk in yet. I'm love with him, but he doesn't feel the same.

    In a way, I was relieved when he told me because of course you'd rather know and move on, than live in a fool's paradise.

    He's a lovely fella, and since he's been so honest with me, makes me fancy him even more :(

    The strangest thing is, the last evening we were together (last week), couldn't have felt nicer while we were in company, or more intimate once we got home. I was happy. Then - bam! - out of the blue, this.

    It's fine, I know I will be ok. The thing about me is, I don't get into a relationship easily, and once I do, I am as certain as can be that I really want to be with that person. So if it goes belly up, I also need to feel certain that I made every effort for it and been a good girlfriend. I really, really do feel that at this point.

    In other words, since I pretty much got a variation on "It's not you, it's me" speech, I think it really IS him, and not me. :)

    So I would guess all that will stand me in good stead once the reality sinks in.

    Gawd, how I'll miss him. :( I'll miss the sex, yes, the sex was fantastic, but for me it is only a secondary thing to be missed - I really rated this relationship very, very highly in my pathetic pantheon of failed relationships :(

    This feeling too shall pass.. been there, so relieved when I worked up the courage to finish with him, only to feel really down about it a month or so later, wrecked my head for a couple of weeks. Be patient and wait it out. You know deep down that you finished with him for a good reason, hang in there!

    I still feel great, actually. I definitely made the right choice and I haven't regretted it for a second even when I've seen him (well maybe for a fraction of a second). I'm looking forward to moving on now.
