Yes me too, been there a couple of times.

Men are more vulnerable emotionally than females. The macho image is a lot of crap really, women are tough and they let out their feelings more easily. It the blokes who get their hearts broken more often than not.

When do you know when to give up? Buggered if i know, if i did I would not have sufferrred so much the last 3 years. As mentioned previously, you become a shell and exist not live.

Be tough and tell her you do not want to hear any of her tales of passion with other men, its too painful for you. Go and socialise and meet other girls, move on, you are in stagnant waters.

best of luck
