Somber mood :(

[Uga2007]

Hello fellow TRF strangers and human beings. So I’m sitting here in a bar in Atlanta, GA, on Easter Sunday, by myself, with a delicious IPA, reflecting on the epically bad breakup I had last night. I find it kind of comical [and sad AF] that I’m even sharing this with you all but I had to. Has anyone else experienced this? For whatever reason while I was just sitting here sipping my beer reflecting on life, I decided to take of my Polar and I just sat there and watched the sweeping seconds hand with my thoughts for about a solid 7ish min. Didn’t even realize what was going on. Nothing else. I don’t know why But it was mesmerizing to me. Extremely soothing when you are by yourself with your thoughts....anyone? Or am I the only weirdo here haha!

We have all been there dude. Pics of what you are drinking.

If you are my cousin Patrick, then you are better off my cuz.

Sorry for your woes
Don’t forget your watch!

[johnjm]

Nice, make sure you don’t forget the watch after a few, and if you need a ride holler at cuz Patrick. I’ll call him hehe

Our watches can be comforting companions for life's troubled times. Keep your chin up!

[SpeakWithMichael]

These things happen, mate. It's incredibly hard for two people to find they really do enjoy spending the rest of their lives together. That you haven't found that *yet* is nothing but statistics. There's nothing wrong with you. And you ought not beat yourself up over it. Hell, I haven't found it yet and I'm 38.

And there's nothing wrong with sharing because maybe you need a man hug and a gym pass and get to feeling good about things again. Things didn't work out for a reason, you just don't know that reason yet.

If I told you the 3 year backstory of how I happened to have come across a certain watch today by sheer dumb luck to purchase it, and all the things that had to happen for that moment to occur, you'd flip out. But there was a girl involved. And she was late (of course, right?), and there was a watch store to fill up 20 minutes of time. And this was our 2nd "date". The first date was 3 years ago. I've had several relationships since then. It makes you wonder if it's all scripted. You meet people and have certain experiences in the same odd, roundabout way, too. Life is a loooong, strange winding road. Enjoy the journey, not the destination. There is no real destination. You had good times, you had bad times. Soon there will be more of the same. Expect not. Just be.

You've got time and health? You're good to go, mate.

[Moggo]

Could have been far worse, thought you had dropped your watch!

Seriously though, take care fella.

Damn, sorry about that. Breakups can really suck. Ultimately makes finding the right woman that much better though. Hang in there...

[AK797]

It might help to start focussing on the next watch you're going to buy, put your mind to more positive thoughts... and don't think about buying her one to get her back. Any WIS dumper is just no damn good in my book.

[derklink]

It could always be worse...you could be looking at the hands of an Oysterquartz

There are a lot of f-ing fish in the sea, you'll get through this!

[WatchBro]

Why didn’t it work out?

[vipereaper30]

Sucks to hear but now you get a chance to replace/upgrade! So I feel bad for you but as a married guy I'm a pinch jealous lol.

[Pauln]

I feel bad for you. The fact that you're sharing this on TRF, makes me feel even worse for you.

[Uga2007]

Right? Im the worst in your eyes aren’t i?!?

It’s ok to ask for help. Don’t mind the not very nice people who aren’t admitting why they’re on a watch forum on Easter. You’re trying to work through your misfortune.

Take a long, hard assessment of what went wrong. What is on them? If the issues were with them, how to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.

The luckiest break I got to be ready when my forever match came along were the terrible choices I made in my marriage. Picked the wrong girl, made us both miserable.

Sift out the lessons and move forward.

I’d get out of the bar, though. Go for a hike.

[Mad Dog]

Happens to the best of us my friend!

Hang in there as it will and always does get better!

Whaaaat??!

I hope your talking girlfriend breakup and not a divorce...

My last Divorce cost me 1.7M and 18years of "Extra" Payments, or 216 months, or 6,570 days of a portion of my life.

But yes, I love looking at the second sweeping hand because it is so serene and peaceful, and you can count on it...

ps. It was all worth it finding the love I have now... Best hearted woman, and hot!

[inadeje]

Alcohol and sorrow don’t mix well. As a natural depressant, it may not be the best choice. As the previous poster said, go and walk, hit the gym. I got in the best shape ever after a troublesome breakup. The gym became my escape and how I managed to distract myself from what was going on. Being in shape also helps with the next step...finding a new partner...

I just meant it’s sad that you’re alone. Give a pal or family a call.

[EDL7]

There are other fish in the sea..trust me on that...someday you will thank them for walking out...when the perfect one comes along..
And.. I'm assuming you are still young..so be glad you are not 76 and this happened..
like my brother...who took the divorce hit at that age..but...he deserved it..as he fked up the perfect marriage..
Don't take anyone..for granted..

You got this!

My wife left without a note. Luckily no kids.

It led to the best 15 years of my life. Lying on the couch digesting a massive brunch as my 4 year old plays with his Easter toys.

Hikes and then a pretty girlfriend (now wife) saved me from myself back then.

Go gettem!

Thanks brotha, I hit the gym this morning before this disaster. Not healthy I know but much needed. Have a 7am HIIT class booked tomorrow to punish myself even more haha! Cheers!

[iliketime]

after all, we have nothing but time

Wow you got it it a lot worse than me. I got it a little bit cheaper than you. My AD gave me a discount . I got one year left on one payment and 3 on another. After that I won’t have to pick up the phone again. Haha.
But in honesty, I was glad to pay the money for having the peace in my life I have now. It was for the better and in the best interest of our kids.
You’ll be good brother. It will be tough at first, a little lonely, but after a little time you will find everything happens for a reason.
Maybe try to find a hobby in the meantime to occupy your time. Maybe try horology .
