My longtime girlfriend has decided that it's time for me to go kick rocks. I'm honestly fine with it because I think her reasons are cowardly and she's lost a little bit of heart.
Just.. great timing, eh? I'm now trying to sell all of my shit in a non-existent market so that I can fit everything I still want in a compact car for 2500 mile jaunt through COVID America to go back to my hometown with a dog that's on his last legs.
The odd silver lining is that I've been stressing about where I was going to bury him when he goes, and there's a plot on my parent's land where my childhood dogs were buried. Yay, I guess.

- @buster "go kick rocks" is a polite way to say "fuck off".garbage
- @continuity I did and I didn't. We've been a gang of two for five or six years, but if she wants out that's fine.garbage
- She's my best friend, and it hurts because I will not ever speak to her again once this is over. Not to hurt her, but I just need to move on.garbage
- This was actually going to be a "who wants to buy some cameras" post before it got all weepy.garbage
- 'Not to hurt her, but I just need to move on.'
I absolutely get this sentiment. The less hard on yourself you can make this, the better off you'll be.Continuity - w/ bbq or soy or whatever tastes good. did she cover most of the bills? curiosu who needed who?deathboy

(Sorry, but I would love to do that. Try to focus on the positive stuff. And there will be a lot of it, believe me.)Longcopylover - Good luck garbage. At least she didn't take the dog from you.milfhunter
- dude, move all your stuff in storage somewhere, get a new rent with a hot chic (surely lots of ppl looking for rent mates), take care of your dog, profitgrafician

- Do a proper fundraiser where you tell all your friends that you're giving all your stuff away to raise money to go live with monks in Tibet. I've attendedcherub
- one of those. Seems ineffective but in reality someone will end up donating more than the cost of the items. They will help your cause.cherub
- The one I went to, he gave away everything he owned to raise money to go work on a cruise ship.cherub
- If you have to drive across the country just make the best of it. Make it an extra long road trip and see as much of the country as you can.ben_
- Plan a scenic route while coming home, visit some national parks, show the old dog some nice spots.stoplying

- I ended something i want happy with 2 years ago. planned to be single for a while. but, a real gem fell into my lap. tomorrow is our 1st anniversary.shellie
- so keep your head up. it was incredibly difficult to end a 12 year relationship but the pain faced faster than you'd think. go regroup. you'll be fine.shellie
- be sad for a few months but my advice is not to wallow in it. don't punish yourself. you deserve happiness but you have to create that for yourself.shellie
- Change is hard and uncomfortable but change is good. and I agree, don't talk to her. I don't even speak his name. blocked his friends and family too.shellie
- Yeah agree. Hard cut on the communications and dont even look online. No answering texts or emails from them. Dont even read them.cannonball1978
- Given some of the stuff you've said over the past few months, Garbage - are you genuinely 'ok' with this? You were worrying me a wee while back xNairn
- Jesus Christ, too many notes to respond to in kind on the side.garbage
- :(BusterBoy
- @Nairn you're gonna have to do better than "GAY" lol.
