To change the topic:

I'm so glad that we're going to a good bowl. I know the bowl practices are vital, but we really need to end the season with a winning record. Losing to Iowa would derail the momentum our team has right now. Having said that, I believe that we'll win this game. GBO!!!!!!!!

Edit: Has there been any updates on AJ?

Yeah I agree. I've already beat myself up enough over this past month because I felt there was something wrong with me & that's why she needed a break..the whole time I've been trying to make myself better & take care of mom thinking one day soon we'd get back together..it was just finding that out tonight is what really hurt me. Oh well.

Thanks for taking your time to talk..I know you didn't have to do that at all. Everybody that has said something..I appreciate it and it means a lot.

Keep your head up, Grace. I went through something similar last year. I don't know who you are, but from you're recent posts it appears you are a good soul. Remember: it was her weakness not your fault. She truly isn't worthy of your love and devotion. Try to focus on your mother and family during this difficult time. And as hard as it is to think about, talk to as many girls as possible. It helps you get over it as well as anything. I hope you can begin to find peace again soon, and you will be in my prayers.

So..cool story bro moment..

Some of you guys know I've been going through an extremely rough & depressing time lately.

My mom almost passed away multiple times at the hospital over the past month..anyway my longtime girlfriend of 6 years took a break from me the week my mom got sick..she said she just wanted a little break & that she wanted us to get back together & start a family together in the future...Lol well the whole time my moms laying on her death bed & I thought she was about to die this girl wouldn't even speak to me. I was at the lowest point I've ever been in my life & she wouldn't even give me the time of day..and now I find out that she had already been with some other guy THREE DAYS after she wanted a break from me Lol..6 freaking years loving this girl with all of my heart and soul being good to her & never not once even thinking about being unfaithful or not treating her good & this is what I get..life really sucks sometimes.

Sorry guys..just needed to rant.

Hang on God's got this.

Hate that your Mom had to go through that turmoil...hope she's doing well. You came out better regarding that other THING...sorry is sorry and it reveals itself in moments like this...guarantee your Mom is happy that you're not tied up with that garbage anymore! Lots of good true worthy women out there...if you had married that one, your intended one wouldn't have had her chance. God takes care of us...even when we don't think we need it.

It's hard to break through and even mentally imagine yourself with someone else after so long but believe me you're better off once you make it through. IF you ever consider even taking her back you deserve to be kicked in the nutts though at this point.

I am sorry you are going through this. I had a similar situation minus the stress of dealing with a sick mother. 4 years, long story short I was beside myself and couldn't imagine life without her.

A year after I met my wife of 22 years and mother of my 3 children. I thank God I didn't marry the ex girlfriend. She has been divorced twice and age isn't her friend.

Hang in there. I know that is hard to hear. Focus on yourself and putting yourself first at this point of your life. Another door will open and will be a blessing.
 
Well I have no kids yet so I had some free time yesterday. Here are my thoughts on Iowa after watching several of their games:

-Their interior D Line is very good
-Offensive line is very good especially LT. I think their RT is substantially worse and I look for Maggitt to have a big day.
-Lack of speed on offense is very evident
-getting Iowa in third and long will be key. Their QB is bad when he had to throw
-Defense in the back 7 is sub par. Lack of lateral speed but linebackers are physical.
-Perfect matchup for our TEs and I expect the jet sweep will be utilized successfully
-Iowa plays every game close. I expect a 21-17 type game where we beat them worse than it shows
-Our conditioning will be an advantage, they will not keep up with our speed for 4 quarters.
-More to come, I'm hoping to watch all of their games this year

The Iowa fans I read had similar comments. When they weren't lamenting their season as a whole they were indicating our team was likely the more talented. They seem like us on Dooley year 2 more so than Butch year 2. They feel like they are poorly coached and trending down. I know Butch draws some game day criticisms but theirs draws even more.

They might have a better outlook if you would stop "rearing" them. Probably makes them uncomfortable.

Lulz if Iphone spell check is bad Galaxy is worse. It tries to put a capitol D on anything I type because I type D on here so often.

Just messing. Happens to me too. All my mobile devices have stopped auto correcting for some reason. Maybe that's not a bad thing. It'll suggest but not change it for you.
 
Man that sucks AG, the only thing I can tell you is just to be thankful that your mother is still alive. That girl stuff really stings though. I can almost guarantee you that girl is going to come back with her tail between her legs, you must not let her back in your life though.

If you feel like having a little fun though, you can string her along if you'd like and get her to do some rather demeaning things once she is begging for you to take her back though.

Like I said, anytime bro! Glad to have helped out. We are family.

Don't stoop to that level. Rise above the desire to do anything that would lower yourself as a person. Happiness is the best revenge.

Dude, I've been there. A lot of us have.

I was about your age when I had my girl trouble. I met a girl during the end of my freshman year. The first time we met, we ended up talking for 8 hours. It was amazing, I'd never met anyone like her. We start dating and things are wonderful, and stayed wonderful for about 3.5 years (we were talking about marriage, etc). I'm looking at rings, I told my parents I was thinking of proposing, etc.

Then on a random Friday night we're talking about graduating and future plans. During this discussion, she tells me she doesn't think my plan would be wise "financially". I explain that I can manage money, and it will be fine if I'm/we're responsible. She says ok, and acts like things are fine. On the next Monday, she comes over to my apartment and breaks up in the most soul-less, emotionless way possible. She said she didn't think she could have a future with someone who's 'financial goals' were so low (basically I wasn't going to make enough money). To make things even better, she begins dating one of my best friends a month later. He didn't even have the stones to tell me. My friend and I never spoke again. Between 'losing' her and a friend that was like a brother, I was DESTROYED. I only left the apartment for school or work for about 3 months, then moped around for about a year. For the love of God, I listened to emo. EMO!

I look at it now as the biggest waste of time in my life. I couldn't see how lucky I was to dodge the bullet I did. I let her take a year of my life, and I still kick myself for it.

You've been told this a dozen times, but there are plenty more out there....some of which are actually a tolerable level of crazy. Go on, live your life. Trust me, living well is the best revenge.

Or better yet the good kind of crazy
 
Thanks so much guys..honestly just reading words of encouragement helps so much. I've never been a fan of someone bragging on themselves but I would consider myself a good person..I've never hurt anybody in my life & I honestly don't have the heart to even if I tried. I know people are going through much worse than me right now but this pain and torment is something real to me and I've never experienced before in my 22 years..i feel so bad for putting it out there but I don't really have anybody else to tell it to.

We spend so much time trying to take care of my mama I can't burden my family with this. Thanks guys..honest to God if I could ever do anything for any of y'all I would in a heartbeat I promise.

Coming from an old man that lost and messed up at love until the one God chose to send me arrived - use this time to heal and come to peace with what you have gone through. I facilitate DivorceCare support groups and I do not want anybody to go through the pain of that if it can be avoided. It may not feel like it, but you dodged a bullet and your mom's illness may have been the tonic that heals you from the trials of your broken relationship. Use this time to dive into scripture, build your faith and be with those of like mind. When you least expect it He will send the right woman into your life. Thanks for sharing on here and you and your mom will be in my prayers.
