brokendreamz Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Not sure if this is the right place to post but I seem to come here often so though I'd give it a go. I'm 34. Been with the love of my life for 8 years (engaged for 2) and now about as single as one can be! I have to start my life from scratch, sell our beautiful home and try to move forward :0( Any way - I'm interested in the age of those who have been dumped. I feell like 34 is pretty old to be going through this - I guess that's because all my mates are getting married and having kids while I'm kind of left spinning!! So... How old are you exactly? How long was your relationship? how long since you were dumped and how are you doing???
tommy.is.my.name Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 30 here. She dumped me after a year. Been broken up a little over a month. The 30s do seem like a hard place to start over. But, then I recall what my parents have always told me."a man is most marketable starting at 35." You know they are right. By that point we are still attractive, educated/skilled, some semblance of success, etc. For me, I just need to stop seeing girls who are 5-7 years younger than me.
silvermane187 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm 22, 3 year relationship, got dumped 5 months 17 days ago(but whos counting? lol). I range from a 3/10 to a 6/10 mood on a regular day. So not too bad but not good.
angelboots Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I am 27 but have lived a lot of life in a short amount of time. I feel much older and have more responsibilities then most people my age. Its been 5 months out of the relationship but i feel the whole thing was a huge waste of time, it has changed the way I view love and relationships and I think that sucks. I have always dated older men except for my ex who was a year younger. Wont be making that mistake again any time soon that's for sure. I think I will be out of the game for a long time, My expectations if anything have gone up, my boundaries too and i have been told that is a turn off for men in todays society but meh. If I end up a cat lady then so be it
PowerOfOne Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 27 years old and 4 months out of a 1.5yr relationship. To describe where I am now? Out of sight out of mind. Haven't heard from her since we broke up and I haven't tried to contact her either. She walked away, I'll make that decision final. 99% over it now. Really couldn't care less if I never hear from her again, not out of bitterness but just plain indifference. Not sure what the future holds relationship wise... Never say never I suppose but I have plently of things to do for me this year. Time to be selfish! p.s. Great song in your sig angelboots! Like it a lot.
1784 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm 35. My ex is 29. We dated for 3+ years, were planning on moving in together, getting engaged, married, kids, house, etc. All down the tubes... Where am I now? Well it's been about a month and a half since we broke up. I've been NC since 2/28. I'm just trying to come to grips with the finality of the thing, honest about what didn't work and perhaps would never work, and trying to find out who I am again... without her (judging me, advising me, making plans, etc). It's hard. I guess that's the best way to describe it. It's just hard for so many reasons.
TryTryAgain Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 30 years old. She dumped me twice over about a year and half period. We've been now apart for nearly two months, although she didn't really dump me this time. I chose to walk away to give us both more space. Nearly two months and it's hurting like hell.
lolo1234 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Here's my story, I left my husband about 10 months ago. Immediately got into another relationship. Got dumped by him almost 2 months ago. You men in your 30s have nothing to worry about. Try being a 34 year old woman with 2 kids! LOL Yeah thats me. Actually now that I think about it, I'm in a good place. I have 2 kids, a boy and a girl. My biological clock is not ticking, I don't feel the need to settle down, have kids, get the house... been there, done that! I have a good career. I'm sexy as hell. Nothing for me to worry about.
LD1981 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm 29 - together for 9 years, married for 6, 2 kids - was dumped 2 weeks ago and i aint doing to well atm lol

J0N Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm 24, we were together for a month shy of two full years. I was dumped in October.
angelboots Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 p.s. Great song in your sig angelboots! Like it a lot. thanks, me too lol obviously
EmperorR Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm 25. Was together for almost a year. Got dumped a Year ago, like a idiot was strung along for almost another year till I ceased all contact, she is still in ym life sadly as my family still talks to her.
radrluv72 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I'm 38...we were only together for just over 2 months, but we had a very quick connection. He was the first man that I'd ever genuinely fallen in love with because he turned out to be everything that I had been looking for & even more...we seemed so happy. Then he just freaked out & bailed, no discussion of whatever was bothering him. I was devastated. I still miss him so bad it hurts.
Jdw_Icequeen Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I'm 29, we were together a yr and 3 months, had a son together.. We broke up Nov 22nd 4 months ago.. Today actually marks 30 days of NC for me.. He has completley dropped off the face of the earth.. After walking out on me.. He did explain why he left and what was bothering him but yet he never brought this up while we were together or tried to talk about things that had been bothering him. He decided to pretend everything was fine and just leave. So how I feel... Well the sadness of him is getting much better, now I am mostly angry at him and the way he handled everything. The only thing that makes me sad is I do feel like I am going to be alone forever at this point in life. I have kids I have been married before. So I am definetly not looking for the perfect fairy tale ending. 30 days NC and hey I'm still alive and I can still say I have no urge to contact him and never will..
Fern Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) I'm 32. Split 7 months now and I'm LOVING being single. You have nothing to worry about. These days I have the confidence and finiancial independence to make being single a treat instead of a chore! ADDS: Relationship was 6 years long. He cheated and is now with the girl he cheated with.
