it was a very big shock to me when she call me to tell me that she will b geting married to another guy. i beg and beg bt she told me nothing can be done. when i ask her d reason 4 her decission she said that d new guy is from her village and her parents prefer dat and beside d guy is ready 4 married just bc i told her that i will be going for my master in uk 4 1 year after our triditional.
After all this i have been so depressed i just cant get her off my mind

@poster,
Man, i know how u feel.But here's d truth.Everyfin dat happens does so 4 a very good reason(we just don't see d reasons in time).U don't hav to be depressed ova dat.Go out often,make friends wif gurls(not necessarily 4 intimacy) n do fun stuff.Try to take ur mind off her cos it's only u dat can do it n it's only u dat can stand in ur way of doin' it.Move on man,it's over!

Those with caps dont have heads and those with heads dont have caps. Dont worry, with time you will get over the hurt and find someone else who will genuinely return your love.Her leaving simply means she wasnt the right woman for you in the first place
Re: How To Overcome Depression After A Failed Relationship by viperman: 1:24pm On Feb 03, 2010
@BEMAN

See ehn, The best way to get over it is to

1. Accept the fact that she's gone.

2. Accept the fact that you didn't waste those 8years, they were training years for the wonderful woman you're going to get married to.

3. whenever you remember what you both shared Cry WHENEVER IF YOU WANT TO, don't hold it back. There's no manliness is holding back tears if the pain felt warrants it, don;t mind anyone around you telling you to be a man. Some people heal faster that way.

4. Go out, visit and hangout with more female friends(or male if you're female). Do not date, i repeat do not date(at least for the next 3 months of fun activity), you'd only extend the hurt.

5. Relax and go with the flow of everyday till you meet someone your spirit keys with. This is after you've healed from this current breakup, 3-4months should be an ok for your spirit to lead you right. Anytime before then, you're not thinking clearly.


NOTE: this is for the average person, some pple heal faster.

Re: How To Overcome Depression After A Failed Relationship by ITbomb(m): 2:04pm On Feb 03, 2010
i think viperman(vampireboy) made excellent points here

Accept the fact that you didn't waste those 8years, they were training years for the wonderful woman you're going to get married to.

Go out, visit and hangout with more female friends(or male if you're female). Do not date, i repeat do not date(at least for the next 3 months of fun activity), you'd only extend the hurt.

i would add if ur conscience allow, a little alcohol will provide temporary relieve cos only time will heal the hurt
Re: How To Overcome Depression After A Failed Relationship by unban190: 4:56pm On Feb 03, 2010

DONT COMMIT SUICIDE
dont go near any knieves
dont cross any roads
dont go near any bridges
dont go or buy any solid hard ropes
leave the rats in your house alone at-least for another 3-6months,cos rat poison now would definitely not be a good thing, so abeg let them be~ they should be with u this mourning time

become a good fan of moet and night-rain,they can help you more than ever this period

Re: How To Overcome Depression After A Failed Relationship by topup: 10:55pm On Feb 03, 2010
Dear poster, I feel your pain. So sorry, I am very sure that she has not just forgotten all about you, but her decision has to be seen as permanent until you get over her, because she will unite with another man.

Please don't feel like all your efforts went to waste, you have grown and learnt more about the man you are, and we cannot guarantee that the man she is with will treat her much better.

You just have to be grateful in a way that this happened before your marriage - man!! What she did was terrible.

I can't imagine how you feel (though earlier I said "I feel your pain" tongue)

Please keep busy, join a gym, exercise, get a makeover, go out more often with your friends, don't just sit at home sulking, but feel free to vent here smiley
Re: How To Overcome Depression After A Failed Relationship by Nobody: 11:28pm On Feb 03, 2010
@ 'unban' 190
You dey colo small small o. Wetin concern suicide for the matter? You 4 discourage MURDER instead. Anyhow.

@ Poster,

Trust me, i'm in your shoes (although mine wasn't up to 8 years!). Thats why am almost a misogynist now. But, am glad most of the responses so far have been helpful.

HOWEVER, the fact that the girl can so coldly jilt you despite all, shows you how ungrateful, shallow, and 'love-peddling' most (black, esp. Nigerian) females are. Like you said, you're a (struggling?) agent, while the dude that 'bought' her is a banker. Do you think she would have left you (forget village or no village) if you work in Chevron's oil rig?, or if you were very rich, regardless of the source? Please.

My brother, forget the biatch and work hard. By God's grace you'd make it and marry someone that is 1000% better than her in all ramifications. Amen.

Re: How To Overcome Depression After A Failed Relationship by peelovee(f): 9:37am On Feb 04, 2010
Sorry, time will heal.

You should be happy that she showed her true colour why it wasnt too late. ( i mean a week /months close June)

Accept the fact that the 8yrs you had with her wasnt a waste but a stepping stone to met the right woman for you.

Also accept the fact that you were an IT student for that 8yrs, and have acquire the knowledge.

Dear stop mourning for her, let her be your past experience.

Look into your future because it is pregnant and great
