[Closed] Got any inspiring stories of meeting an awesome girl after leaving an awful one?

Girls are all awful

even the awesome ones

In the same way that I am awful despite being awesome

Me wife met awesome me after leaving an awful bloke.

HTH

yes, it happens and has happened to me

but it won't happen if you mope around like a miserable sod

Correct. Join a gym and go and flex at some ladies.

my wife left me for another bloke. I'm forced to assume he's awesome.

I split up with an absolute cow after a year who didn't even buy me a single thing for my 21st birthday! 6 Months later I met mrs wrightyson after having the best lads summer in between, and 15 yrs later we have 2 beautiful kids and are happier than ever!

I had someone awesome for a long time, then I met some awful people....this doesnt help...

Learn from your mistakes. We all make them.

I went out with a girl about 11 years ago now nothing serious just good old fashioned adult fun. Sh :wink:e moved away to work with pontins and I stayed behind and carried on working here. I moved on and met another woman, we had a child and lived together for a few years untill a few bottles of wine a day got the better of her and I decided to get out. She turned out to be a complete nutter. I was then single for about a year until I went to a pub one sunny afternoon for a few beers with my old man and would you believe it the girl collecting glasses was the one that moved away all those years ago.
We swapped numbers, went out for a drink and "the rest is history". We get on great and are going strong after nearly 3 years. Even dragged her up the chase on the odd occasion. 😉

Happy days.

Although before I met her again I was struggling to meet someone.

As ever Emo Philips has the answer "You think your girlfriend is so much better than mine,just because she's real".

thanks, Khani 🙂

Which one in the question might you festoon?

all my old girlfriends were nuts. however, the only common denominator was me...i havn't managed to find anything awful at all about my current girl.

Which one in the question might you festoon?

Oh, the festooning was great!

The trouble was her constant panic about everything, I tried to be as supportive as possible, but I never knew which evrsion of her was going to show up. She hated her job and I was trying to help her to get into something else, but it was no use in the end.

The final straw was discovering the reason she was always skint (in spite of earning a reasonable salary and living at home with her parents), she owned a house that she had neglected to tell me about. It was in negative equity and she couldn't sell it. Bit strange not telling your boyfriend something like that after a year, no?

To be fair, I've been quite lucky...she's the only genuine wild card that I've ever dated.

I have an inclination to believe that the further you are away from awesome the more acceptable awful might become. First there are probably a few false awesomes. The odd awful might serve to remind you of the difference.
I only remember awesome. It's a shame my ex's don't feel the same way.

As ever Emo Philips has the answer "You think your girlfriend is so much better than mine,just because she's real".

That's a name I haven't heard for a long time.... Classic.... Thanks. 😆

I used to run into someone awesome(but attached) at conferences only to discover, much to my amazement, I'd caught her attention for some years. This put a few noses out of joint : ) Anyway, we both jumped ship and three years on it remains awesome (AND she can ride up and down steep Derbyshire hills.)

Yes - twice good friends of mine have had long painful relationships with bunny boilers, both met lovely ladies afterwards

My last ex was always skint, contributed nothing to the bills etc. Had so many jobs but it was always someone elses fault. I soon noticed that my money wasn't going as far as usual. Turned out she had a prolific cocaine habit. I got rid sharpish (she was pretty nasty too). She got a key cut for my place and tried to continue stealing from me! I've not made that many good decisions but getting rid of that one was visionary. Now met the warmest, most generous and kind girl I've ever known and we are getting married in sept. Happy days.
Gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you meet a prince(ss),

Yes and still with her 18 years later. Will tell the rest when not on phone at footy game. Laters

I was living with my partner for years when I discovered she was sleeping with her boss. The turmoil that followed led me to meet my lovely wife. Chin up etc. There are chances out there. Just look for them and take them.

Yes - hence me being in Brazil nowadays!

- although really in terms of my last proper girlfriend she was suicidal and also sleeping with her doctor who also turned out to be suicidal and who she ran away with but who ended up being sectioned due to the threat of violence and more etc etc. I had a tough time but really tried to chalk it up as experience and did my best to be supportive when she was dumping on me.

But hey, life is very good right now 🙂

I've met many wonderful women after the break up from with Satan in a skirt.

I've also met plenty of not so wonderful women.

They're all out there. It's just a matter of having some faith that somewhere out there a suitable one for you lives.

From my experience.If you go looking, it'll end in disappointment.
Where as, if you don't somebody will just appear into your life.

Just chill and don't put pressure on yourself to NEED to be with someone.
Live life, have fun and relax.

Not quite what the OP was after but......

A long time ago in a life far, far away, I'd avoided relationships for too many years, and finally met a great girl through a dating agency - intelligent, funny, had a cute labrador puppy. We got on well, arranged to meet again.

Then she pulled the plug, too many issues still unresolved from a previous relationship apparently. I was gutted.

Couple of weeks later I went on a charity walk up Ben Nevis and got chatting to a loud bolshy short arse with a limp on the bus.

15 years later we are still together, married, two kids.....

(She is still a loud bolshy short arse, but she is MY loud bolshy short arse!)

There's no need to bring your filthy euphemisms up here...

Yes awful to awesome in on easy move(although don't tell her dad that). Ex was a nut job through and through £70k in debt and having an affair while bleeding me dry.

New one sings all and we have a dog together. How much better can life get> :-).

You know, we aren't all that bad! Perhaps you weren't right for eachother which is why she behaved badly. However, please may I have your credentials, my friend became single on the weekend after being with a plonker (IMO) and she could do with cheering up 🙂

i was married for 11 years, it was awful, she attacked me with a knife on several occasions, her dad attacked me with a hammer, her brother attacked me with his fists, her sister and all her husbands family attacked me verbally and via the church i used to attend.
she ran off and left me for a millionaire.
i was on my own for 4 months, then i was working one night (bus driver)
and a girl offered me her number.
7 years later, with scarcely a cross word, cant say any fairer than that like.
ps: the millionaire, wasnt.

Many of us on here would have been in long term relationships that turn sour for one reason or another.

I got really fed up with men after such a relationship. So, when the offer of going to California on a skiing trip came about, I jumped.

Just before boarding the 12 hour flight someone I vaguely knew came around the corner. He came over to chat on the flight and we ended up skiing together nearly every day. At the end of the holiday I'd fallen hook , line and sinker.
Even though he lived in London and I was in Manchester, we managed and 11 years later we're happily married.

Have to admit to that awful saying: 'it never happens when you go looking, only when you least expect it'.

If you find the right new partner, you'll probably forget all about your previous realtionship pretty quicklly and start getting on with living your life rather than being restless. 🙂

I can't guarantee that'll happen quickly though. Singledom has more peaks and troughs than a sub par realtionship...

Oh Blimey, last gf was a bit if a 'mare. To be honest though it was my first serious relationship and neither of us was particularly in a good place. Think hormonal teenage girls with sexuality and self esteem issues. It was a bit traumatic and ****ed up my relationship with some close friends and not least my mum. (we both had to work pretty hard at repairing our relationship)

After all that I wasn't really looking for a gf but at a party there she was and it's been mostly ( she ****ed it up pretty spectacularly a while back) pretty ****ing lovely ever since.

Have to admit to that awful saying: 'it never happens when you go looking, only when you least expect it'.

Three 'marriages' is enough and I do take some comfort that my Mum bumped into my first wife who out of the blue said it was entirely her fault (it was) and she had bitterly regretted it ever since and would love to see me again.How I laughed......................not 😈

The one after that was great.......for a while, so there's always hope!

My ex ran off with a 16yr old, long haired guitarist.
As well as being awesome, he did me a favour.

I'm happier now I'm on my own

There [i]was[/i] somebody I'd have done anything for, a very long time ago. The subsequent emotional carnage was such that I'm not sure I'd ever dare look at somebody in the same way, ever again.

That said, I like being my own boss. 😀

Sorry no help on the OP, but go to any large public library - the sexual tension is always palpable. 😯

[b]bravohotel8er [/b]

have a read of this, http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/a-love-story-three-reasons-your-partner-was-the-one-for-you

I suspect it'll cheer you up considerably.

As [b]Bunnyhop[/b] stated, you will meet 'the one' if there is such a thing, in the most damndest or unpredictable of situations. That you can be sure of : )

I seem to have had a series of awesome girls since about 1991. every break up was amicable and for non combatitive reasons, finally met mrstubing working next door after 10 months of singledom, she is so hot I assumed she was married but it turned out she had just been dumped by some f8ckwit who thought she was getting too fat! 10 years strong, 2 littletubelings and she's in a great place after shedding 16 kilos of baby weight, I'm in a great place as I've finally got full time work as a Planner and there's loads of family coming to visit in the next few weeks.

Bunnyhop forgot to mention who this legend was though. Come on BH name and shame 😉

Yeah. I went out with a complete fruitcake. I mean, she was absolutely beautiful, best looking girl I ever went out with, body to die for. Completely mental in all aspects, a very naughty girl in bed but also a complete nympho. She would run off with someone she'd met in a bar five minutes ago and then come back looking hot and flustered and want to know why I was looking pissed off.

I eventually ditched her but she kept turning up in my life again and again at the oddest moments and usually looking for either sex, an argument, pity or all three. She properly screwed with my head but I kept jumping back in. About 5 or 6 girlfriends later she was still turning up, cocking my life up, giving me the best sex I'd ever had and then nearly killing me when she would, as an example, drive across a blind junction at night without slowing down just to watch me scream.

Eventually I met my wife who being a girl was also completely mental but not in the same way. Then Debbie turned up again in a pub I was working in. The bloke she was with went to the toilet and she immediately came over, told me she was with him because he reminded her of me and how would I like to meet up afterwards.....

I said no, and that was that.

I have no idea where that woman is today, I heard she emmigrated to Australia but whever she is I'm sure she'd cocking some other poor buggers life up.

Hope this helps.

[i]Bunnyhop forgot to mention who this legend was though. Come on BH name and sham[/i]

I've heard he's built like Arnold, has the intellect of Stephen Fry, the looks of Brad Pitt and the riding ability of Steve Peat. Furthermore he's a complete stallion in bed, has a huge knob and can make a girl go weak at the knees just by glancing in her general direction.

*checks*

Nope, I'm not dating Bunnyhop. 🙁

dragged her up the chase

Haven't heard it called that before

Had a girl that fancied me when I was younger but wasn't really intersted in her at the time but we got to know each other and eventually got together and fell head over heels in love with her.
All was great for just under a year and then on our 1 year anniverary she thought it was more important to go to a footbal match with someone who was trying to pull her rather than spend it with me.
Things just got worse after that. Her ego became hugely inflated and turned into a nasty selfish person who ripped every bit of confidence/ self worth from me. She ended up going off with the Drummer in the band we were both in.
All this completely screwed me up and ended up spending the next ten years suffering from depression with zero confidence and hit drugs in a big way as an escape from reality.
One night 11 years ago I meet the current Mrs MM and she accepted me for who I was and over time she helped me rebuild my life. Still together today and have been married since 2005.
I am now blissfully happy and can't ever imagine being with anyone else. 😀

Bunnyhops story reminds me in part my own. I've been chasing a girl for years, was going on holiday skiing with her, but at the last minute she pulled out.

I went on the holiday and met an amazing girl, I skied with her everyday and spent most of my time with her. Where it differs is that she lives in South Africa, still she invited me over and I booked my tickets last week!

Just about sums most on here up. Including me.

What you doin later big boy 8)

I,m kind of seeing a girl at present whos a bit mad i think,we meet in a local pub ,i,m quite shy but shes easy to talk too.We always decide to walk back to mine but always end up in a secluded spot on the way back,not very romantic but certain urges seem to take over 🙄 .I know she will probably leave me in pieces further on down the line but i,m just trying to go with the flow and i,m happy when i,m with her so i,ll just settle for that i think.

I wouldn't mind meeting a bloke who fits the description that samuri said above. Anyone? 😆

Have no inspiring tales of meeting anyone nice since my i've been single. I like the romance of falling for someone/the first few months of getting to know someone but romance seems to be dead these days.

*glances at dirtygirl... hopes that it's not a recurring knee injury*

Money = the root of all evil
Money squared = evil

Girls = Time & Money
Time = Money
Girls = Money * Money
therefore Girls = Money squared

So Girls = Evil

P.S. Don't tell the wife 😆

DGOAB -

Binners - He's as Samuri described, but I'm afraid he was a bit wrong about the 'Brad Pitt look a like', one can't have everything 🙂

Yep. One GF tried to really half heartedly kill herself as a plea for attention , and had quite a lot in common with some of the others above - attactive, nymphette, wildly entertaining, and rather damaged. That all came to a bad end as she wouldn't let it go, I'd moved out leaving her in the flat. Horrid silliness.

Then I met Mrs Please when I was really not wanting anything to do with women at all. Now married 11yrs, 2 kids, all very fabulous and couldnt imagine being without her, nor wanting to.
