Hence my advice upthread about getting rid of the means to contact him.
If you’re hurting about him, and about his behaviour, then friends is probably a bad move.
This is basically what I was going to say. You are young, sven, and you really are an awesome person who is doing stuff with her life that most of us would never have the courage and convictions to do. You will meet somebody just as awesome one of these days, believe me, and this guy will become a faint memory.
I’m sorry to hear that jjimm - I remember your last breakup and how painful it was for you. Hang in there. You too, Sven.
Did I ever mention I have a Doper crush on you, jjimm? Now that you’re single and emotionally vulnerable…
Wait, didn’t you dump him first? Why do you want him back, if he’s such a loser?
Never underestimate male pride over this kind of thing. His self esteem probably took a beating when you broke up with him, so he’s following the timeworn advice given to every other guy who’s been through the same thing - go out and do something (or somebody) fun.
If you can’t accept him running around with teenage sluts, then you probably won’t be able to be friends with him. He’s doing what he needs to do right now, and it’s up to you to do the same for yourself.
Thanks, Surly Chick, and thanks for remembering the pain I went through. That makes me feel a little better.
I’m an organized wallower. I give myself certain times to talk long sad walks, listen to heartwrenching love songs, cry my eyes out soaking in the tub.
But then, you shake it off and really let it go so that you can enjoy your day, or your work, or your dinner or whatever. And the next night, I may wallow a little more.
Eventually I’m ok. Because, really; if you are a great person with a great outlook on life, there is no way you are not going to find happiness in life…including the romance area. It will be ok.
Today went a bit better- probably because we haven’t been in touch. I just feel a bit deflated, is all. We got a new foreigner in town (not my type, unfortunately!) and so new friends should distract me. We’re both stuck here together all weekend. Hopefully it goes okay. Sigh.
Really, again, thanks for the support. The hardest part of this is that I don’t have anyone to really talk to about this. You guys are lifesavers!
Happy to help. If you weren’t so far away, I’d be happy to, ummm, comfort you! 
Frankly, I’m tired of having my heart ripped out and stomped to little pieces so I’ve put myself on the shelf. I just moved to a new area and don’t know a soul so it wasn’t so hard to do. I’m just hanging with my dog who loves me unconditionally and doesn’t leave the toilet seat up. But if he dumps me, I’m not sure what I’m going to do…
Hope today is a better day also.
