3 Year Relationship. Ended.

[Crisp]

"Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore"

Boys, I need a poison to keep me company after work today...perhaps the rest of the weekend. Which mixer/liquor/liqueur will be the best company in this situation? Obviously something brown.

Coke and Everclear.

It's pow'rful stuff, mate, pow'rful.

You want powerful and good? Booker's bourbon. Proof is somewhere in the 120's and it's tasty. Sorry to hear it. Listen to "Delia" by Johnny Cash and "I Used to Lover Her" by Guns 'N' Roses. Good music for a bad breakup (as long as you don't take them as advice).

 

[icedoverfire]

Aw man. Sorry to hear.

In your shoes, I'd be making good friends with JD... but that's just me.

Get a nice bourbon like Bulleit or a Tennessee whisky like Gentleman Jack. Mix with Coke and there you go.

Not unless you are celebrating ending the relationship, I would pass on the liquor and do something more constructive for yourself. Treat yourself to a spa, exercise, meet new people, etc. Good luck.

This.

not to be a wise guy.. (maybe I'm to old school) but if you hadn't married her in 3 years it was time to take a look around anyway. Oh, and the Booker recommendation was excellent.

Wat? I respectfully disagree. I have several friends who've been with their girlfriends for 5-7 years. Being pushed into marriage too soon is why the divorce rate is over 50%, in my opinion.

I can also support the gym membership/spa treatment/way to meet new people idea. Will probably be better for you in the long run than an assault on your liver.

take stock of the positive relationships you have built w/ others and spend some time w/ them. Hopefully, you did not ditch all of your boys during or because of this relationship. We've all been there and know how it feels.

BIG +1...burying yourself in a bottle is not the way to deal with this. But that's just my $.02. Who ended the relationship? Go out with friends and have fun. Give yourself sometime to attain closure.

I'd skip the booze & buy a couple of pints of B&J's Americone Dream - I'd line up a dozen hours of movies (mindless shoot 'em ups, likely - Lethal Weapon series, Alien & Aliens, T1 & T2; Blade 1 & 2; Die Hard series; Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc), stack up my favorite "comfort novels," - did I mention ice cream?

I'd reintroduce myself to me, and have a hell of a good time doing it.

My heart goes out to you. You will be OK... maybe even better than.

 

[Crisp]

Thank You gents! I believe I will make a hodgpodge of the advice given. I shall go with the Bulliet. Have only had it in bars, time to get my own bottle! It is high in Rye content for a Bourben if I remember. I like RYE!

I went for a long run yesterday. I shall balance that out with some drinking. Hopefully not too much. As far as movies, I believe I will revisit The Clint Eastwood Westerns. Maybe some Dirty Harry if I can find it.

Somebody mentioned hanging out with friends. Funny how relationships with women affect your relationships with your guy friends. And if THEY'RE married or in a LTR, look out. I am almost scared to call up my buddies as a single guy.

Odd?

Anyways. Thank You for the kind words.

I had a bottle of BOOKERS once. Whooeee!! Definitely had to cut that guy with some water. More than some. I ususally just add a bit to my single malts...but that BOOKERS is a fierce beast. Definitely have to be in the mood for that guy.

I could not agree more. This is a time to do something positive in your life that will lift your spirits (no pun intended). Find some positive thinking friends, do something physical or go to some stimulating event. If your are so inclined, a connection with a spiritual friend would be in order.

The best to you,

Doug

Hang in there buddy. My 3 year relationship also ended. I picked myself up and dated several women. I have narrowed down the search to 2 or 3. It gets better.

 

[wimbouman]

No Anna Ternheim for you on the stereo - too depressing

May I recommend first:

and then:

 

[Crisp]

Lagavulin 16. I have only had it once. I will never forget. The best scotch I have ever had. Thank you for refreshing my memory!

I will seek out the Chablis. I know next to nothing about wine. I feel like you have to go to school in order to speak intelligently about the subject.

It's just white wine.
You'll like it.

The Lagavulin is amazing.

Keep your head to the sky!

. Listen to "Delia" by Johnny Cash and "I Used to Lover Her" by Guns 'N' Roses. Good music for a bad breakup .

also Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

Hang in there. Things do improve over time.
