relationship help
 
Not sure if this qualifies but need some advice.
I've just broken up with my gf of 4 years. 3 years ago I moved to Newfoundland for her and we broke up a week ago on mutual terms.
she wants to go to DAL in Nova Scotia by herself and I didnt want her to go. We both realised we want different things. She says she still loves me and maybe there's a future but wants to be forends right now.
Now I havent been back to the uk for 3 years and I don't know whether to just leave Canada and go back home to start again or hang around to see if I can handle Canada on my own.

Thanks in advance

Come on Rixy - you've been in Canada for a while. Presume you working, you have friends & a community. Before you make your mind up, maybe visit UK & see how you feel. Where is your family? That makes a big difference. Did you live in Canada only because you had a partner? If I was in your shoes, I'd be staying in Canada, but everyone has different circumstances. Dont make a rash decision whatever you do.....good luck

I do have a reasonably good job but I've always found it hard to find friends here. So most of the friends I know are her friends and family.
So right now I'm feeling alone here in Newfoundland.

What confuses me is this whole friends/space thing? Has anyone ever figured it out?

It means you've been canned. Move on.

Oh, and quit posting identical stuff in 2 forums please.

Nobody can explain that. It'd mean being able to understand a woman's mind.

If you're still getting a shag, enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah sorry to say this but its never good news when you hear that line, last time I heard it was 13 years ago and guess what, nothing changed!! Give it time and move on, it will be scary at first especially being alone in a strange country but if you can't handle it then thats what your family is for, good luck!! :thumbup:

:eek:

From a womans perspective and I hate to Pee on your bonfire - but shes getting her cake and eating it.

Do not carry on going out - she will see this as when she clicks her fingers you come running.

Cut the ties - stay in Canada and grab this opportunity to live the life that you want as opposed to following someone else.

The world is in front of you and its an exciting time.

If you really want to get back with her she will see the new you and the relationship may be revived. :thumbsup:

Sound advice, that man.

A pointless shag can do wonders to mend a broken heart.
