Thread: Just broke up with my girlfriend of 4 1/2 years. Why does it hurt so bad?

Experience the world and all of the different kinds of people in it. Speaking from experience, it's the only cure.

Not really sure how to even go about meeting new people. But I'll try. Thanks.

I suggest you don't become friends with her. Shit sucks.

Good to know. Thanks for the help.
