I am on the other side of boat on this one. I am the one who was left just because he couldn't take "it" anymore. I can just imagine who your gf's felt, I am going through the same thing right now. You had probally hurt this girl terribly and if you had wanted to compromise in the beginning you might still be with her. Sorry to sound so harsh but like I said I am going through this right now. I don't know how I am able to get past this. I kind of makes me smile though knowing that in the end it may all turn around. Sorry I can't be more sympathetic

I have been reading postings for the last couple of days now and felt that someone will be able to relate to what I am feeling. About 1 month ago by common law spouse of 8 years decided that he didn't want to be with me anymore. He said that he is tired of fighting and arguing. I really believe that we didn't do anymore of this than any other couple. I am completely devestated by this breakup and don't know what to do with myself. I still love him very much and still want to be with him but he feels that he can't do it. It won't work he says and we may as well do this now. It is not getting any easier emotionally for me. I really don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a ton of people telling me to keep my chin up, move on, it will take time but it will happen etc. I know all of this but I truly feel that I can't do this. I am not a kid, (32 years old) and I know what I should be doing but I cannot bring myself to do it. I really feel like I am drowning in my emotions right now and don't know where to turn. Can someone please help
