No fool like an old fool

I'm sending sympathy in bucket loads. What an absolutely awful thing to happen, how can he possibly believe that his behaviour is acceptable. Just take it one day at a time and look after yourself

It will pass Missadventure. It always does and in time to come you will realise,even more, what a pillock he was/is. Rejection always hurts but you are doing the right thing by getting rid of his stuff etc.

We are experienced at being 'dumped' in our family! For example, my brother was left at the age of 57 by his partner of 30 years. Now he's remarried, very happily.

Life goes on....

Thank you so much, ladies
P.S I dont even use Facebook!

Well done on throwing away his stuff its tough on you as you still have feeling but things will get better and you will meet someone new who is worthy of your company,is he possibly doing the same thing in another part of the Country to some other unsuspecting lady I wonder ??

Good idea Jalima, 3 days is long enough. You are your own woman now MissAdventure, free to do your own thing and get on with your life. You are well rid of an idiot like that. Give yourself a little grieving time as it's always sad when a relationship ends - then life is there for the living.

I would take those of his belongings you still have, build a bonfire in the garden, set fire to them and then post the video on Facebook, naming and shaming him and warning other women to steer clear.

It's hard being rejected as you can feel you must be worthless if this person doesn't want you.
His behaviour shows, tho, that you are better off without him so you are a winner!

Get shot of his junk as quickly as you can and enjoy the future with your family.

Life can only get better. Chin up. .

Tell yourself that you cannot love a pillock, you are too good for him.

Its awful. I have a grown daughter, and grandkids - its like they've been just dumped too.

Thank you, tanith x

It will get better.?

Ah, thank you ladies
Well, I always knew he was a bit of a pillock, to be honest, so I've gotta take some responsibility for how it ended.
I just feel sad, as I very happily lived alone for years; never wanted or needed a partner. I made an exception for him, because I really did (still do) love him.
He lives at the other end of the country, so his time for collecting his belongings has been and gone. Time for a good old sort out. I took 2 black sacks to "cash for clothes" today, and made £3.60. Only another 20 odd sacks, I reckon! Lol

That was a very callous way to end a relationship.

Could you send him a message on FB telling him to pick up his stuff within say, 3 days, after then you will be offering it free on Facebook (or sending it to charity)?

You are well rid of him, hope you have some kind friends and/or family to help you through this.

Sorry to hear that Miss Adventure ( good name) but you know, the kind of idiot who only posts something like this on Facebook, instead of being honest with you face to face (or even on the phone)is not worth your grief.Try and get over him as fast as possible and move on with your life.We are all not always a good judge of character at times, people who live disordered lives should be avoided.There will be somebody much better for you out there, but don't rush into things and take a bit of time for yourself.?

Sounds like you are well rid MissAdventure but I'm sorry you are in pain. He sounds like some piece of work to do what he's done. I hope you find clearing out his 'stuff' therapeutic and feel able to move on soon.. for you.
