Any suggestions? After nearly 3 years with my boyfriend I have just been finished via a txt msg without a reason or explaination! Im both angry and hurt. Any suggestions on a way to feel a bit better?! Strange thread I know!...x

Find the best looking bloke you can that your ex doesn't know(someone from work or borrow a friends feller) and both turn up at where your ex is likely to be - and put on a real good show of enjoying yourselves.

Do you know message was really from him and not someone cruelly thinking it would be a laugh to text you? Personally, I would find it difficult to move on without some explanation from him. Is that it? No phone call? I'd need to have an answer, even if I didn't like what was said.

Rach, Text him back and tell him you're pregnant..... Seriously though, console yourself with the fact that you're better off rid of someone as inconsiderate as him. I promise you, you'll look back on this day and wonder what you were ever doing with him in the first place. Crista

Hi Rach, That happened to me too nearly four years ago and I didnt know what to do.I felt devastated and felt that I would have liked to kill him but at the same time,I still wanted some kind of connection with him and tried to stay friends but that doesnt work.I cut my losses and got on with my life but it took time.A while after that,I met my now husband and he just gave me back my faith in men.It hurts a hell of alot but keep hanging in there,I got no explanation to the break up and that meant I had no closure but move on because if you dwell on it,you will just end up even more hurt and confused.Think positive and keep telling yourself that if he hadnt the decency to tell you face to face then he cant be that special.Theres a great guy waiting around the corner for you,just like me.Best Wishes,Fiona x

ITS HARD to move on, without an explanation as to why? but i've been there and if thats the way it is your better off without him. tell everyone who knows him your glad its over you were getting bored with him, and wanted to move on. you deserve better. sandra

What a coward. Confront him face to face. TELL him that he is a coward. & that he should be ashamed, a grown man too scared to chuck you to your face. Tell him that you are better off without him as you want a man not a boy ! But make sure it was him who texed you & not someone being nasty.... Elaine x

I would get over him by using a steam roller - what an idiot of a man - shows you just so much he is lacking in the spherical department to treat you like that. big hugs to you petal

Think of it this way, if he can finish it with a text so suddlenly was you really fine 2 days ago? Something similar happened to a girl at work and when she looked back she could see the probs! Everything is a learning curve and makes us stronger, you know that song by Jemielia 'Thank you'? Have a listen! Stacy x

The word Coward really doesn't cover a man like that..... and yes I know this from experience.... I had the same thing done to me and found out afterwards that he'd been dating someone else to an insult to injury.... well I am glad to say that he got his come uppance when he married her then she took him to the cleaners.... I am now happily married to a wonderful man who treats me like a queen and the only text messages he sends me are to tell me how beautiful I am and how much he loves me. The old saying is definitely true "TIME IS A GREAT HEALER" Lick your wounds, go get a makeover and get out there girl and PULL!! ;o)

Didn't Robin Cook tell his wife he was divorcing her in much the same way?

Rach I'm really angry with him and sorry for you! What a you-know-what! But I do agree with a few of the earlier replies - was it definitely him who texted you? Only it does seem a bit odd after as long as 3 years together. Have a real good cry, get angry, get it all out of your system... then pick yourself up, dust yourself down and GET OUT THERE ON THE PULL AGAIN - have a great time tonight :)))) Mandy xx
