SweptAway Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 I broke up with my boyfriend over a month ago but still miss him and im still broken hearted. Even though it was the right thing, even though I know I deserve better... Anyway. I'm planning a big seven week backpacking tour of Europe. Staying in hostels, planning on meeting new people, a big adventure really. What Im hoping is, that this trip will make me forget about him. Has anyone done this after a break up and found that meeting new people and seeing new sights fixed them right up? I just hope that I dont have to carry a broken heart all around europe and have HIM ruin my trip.
funkify Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 I think it will definately help you (1) get your mind off him and (2) allow you to realise he's not the only guy out there for you. Travel will make you feel more independant and nothing can compare to the wonderful experience. Freedom to travel independently is just one of the great advantages of being single. Go and have the time of your life! When are you planning to go?
jusified Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 My ex and I Planned on going on exchange last year. A week before we were leaving she broke up with me. I decided not to go and she still went. From what I understand she started drinking more and clubbing etc, meeting guys etc. While I've been alone for the past 6 month. But hay, you know what things will and are getting heaps better. In the end if I was really good to her she will realise it soonor later and have to live with the mistake she's made. To be honest I;m just whinging and the only thing I really want from her is for her to understand/feel all the love I had for her and the pain she has caused me. Sorry if i went off on topic, but I say go on your trip and have fun, but in the end it is only temporary, there will be a day when you will have to be back and face the music. But during that time you are away it is unlikely that you will think about him too much. Give yourself soetime, I think in time if he was good to you then you will realise. If he wasn;t so good then ou will also realise.

Author SweptAway Posted May 14, 2007 Author Posted May 14, 2007 I will be in London for a week actually! Ahhhhh Britain, Britain..... Ive been told British and euro men are so much better than Aussie guys, far less hang ups, less blokey and more emotional. The euros I can vouch for, having an Italian background and all...but not too sure about British men as yet! Then Im off to Spain, Italy, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris. Im just hoping my ex wont ruin it. I hope I get on the plane and forget everything thats happened and I just hope I get back to my outgoing adventurous self by then :/
jusified Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Hey, maybe you just got withthe wrong aussie guy. Some of us are decent.

It is the best cure... really, I promise you it will help you move on...been there.. when I broke the first time with my last ex... he said he would book a trip and have fun down south... he didn't...but I did and I had a 'fling' the whole time I was there with a hot Cuban entertainer... Have a wonderful trip.
MF2000 Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Can i just my 2p. Tis a great idea. Did it after I split from my ex after a 2.5 year relationship at Christmas this year and in Easter after another break-up! Travelling by yourself opens your eyes and you meet so many people in Youth Hostels and end up knowing them so well that many of those I met I still keep in contact with now! Wish I could go now but work unforutnately takes hold! Have a fun trip, and enjoy yourself! The world is your oyster and use it!
kepners Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 yeah you gotta love the UK! i do! when do u hit europe?

Have a wonderful trip. Is that really a good thing to do? Having a fling? Anyways, I just think a trip is a good idea but eventually you will have to think about it anyways. But what do I know.
Author SweptAway Posted May 15, 2007 Author Posted May 15, 2007 Of course a fling is a good idea. Nothing like a fling to boost your ego back up to where it was. Always works for me anyway... And a massive shopping spree. July 3rd I will be in London, Summer is less miserable there right?
kepners Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 yeah very much so. not long then. are you flying in here first etc?
kepners Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 also the bugs are smaller! HAHA, but like the history the men are richer. so the shoppings on you then
Lizzie60 Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Is that really a good thing to do? Having a fling? Anyways, I just think a trip is a good idea but eventually you will have to think about it anyways. But what do I know. I had a dream vacation in Cuba that year... like someone said, it is a major ego boost when you're feeling down... especially when the guy is over 20 some years younger and a hottie. It definitely takes your mind off the 'break-up'. I agree you eventually have to think about it but you have 'other things' to think about too... (read the great time on vacation). So it worked for me, plus I was the one who left so it wasn't as hard I guess.
