Breakup Is Not The End Of the World

Last December a girlfriend of mine was going through a serious relationship crisis. Her long distance relationship has been going on for 18 months and it turned out that her beau was still seeing the woman who’s supposed to be an ex-girlfriend.
That lying cheating bastard came into town for the holiday season to be with her. During his 10 day visit, she found out his dirty secret when she browsed through pictures stored in his laptop. What a dumb ass!

The thought of him still hanging around the city where she calls home made her flesh crawl. She believed that once he returned to where he came from, her life would move on as normal. I had tried to get her out of the house but she kept saying that she’s not ready to face her social circle yet. She flaked on us on New Year’s Eve at the last minute.

Dealing with a breakup is never easy. Only time will ease the pain and heal the broken heart. The next one is always better!

In her Email she tried explaining why she couldn’t be with friends on New Year’s Eve.

我跟他的事情還沒處理完,
I’m so sorry。
可是事情還在繼續糟糕下去,
我現在還無法談,跟朋友們談會我有罪惡感!
你會氣死,我也講不出口!
我沒辦法出門,
滿腦子都是些奇怪的東西,
幾個字眼一直在繞:騙子、傻子、WHY、謊言,
等他下週回去,無法有機會見到或聯繫,
或許比較容易一點,
我先靜一下,
Okay?Don’t worry!
我完全是個傻子 但不是做傻事的type
你說的我都知道,
你不說的我也都知道。
可是現在,我沒有那麼strong。
就算出去我也是假笑、會ㄍㄧㄥ著、hold著,
我不想那麼噁心!
下週好嗎?
接下來的一分鐘,究竟會出現什麼我都不知道。
不過,不是期待有答案或是希望。
可不可以一次就斃命?
不要在我身上畫幾刀、讓我慢慢流血而死。
他走之後,我可能可以偽裝的比較好。
現在他人還在台灣,我一直被懸宕。
停不下來,就是沒辦法。
Thank you dear。I am not that strong now。
Let us meet till next week。
請先讓我完全死心。

Coincidently last Saturday as soon as I turned on my laptop a girlfriend who’s supposed to be traveling in Shanghai popped over via MSN. Her first sentence was, “Can you hook me up with single men who want to get married eventually?”

Thank god that she asked me over the internet, otherwise I wouldn’t able to stop laughing. This is more an unusual request. I thought she was in China with her boyfriend. Honestly finding a new beau is not exactly the way to go when dealing with a heartbroken breakup. Just because you get married to someone else it won’t’ make a difference for your cheating ex. Why will he care anyway?

Wake up and smell the coffee! You should go on and live your life to the fullest. Using marriage as revenge is not an option!
